A clause relating to the tight or non residents to vote in civic elect- ions was thrown out when the Leg. islature went Into committee to further consider an Act to amend the City of Charlottetown Incorpo;-. ation Act yesterday. It was felt that since it would not apply until another civic election took p ce. it should be given further conslde ation and possibly brought before the House next session.

Another clause dealing with the regulating of harboring and hair dressing establishments was also deleted when several of the mem- bers opposed it strongly.

A.A. Msclsnsc (Liberal). Fifth Queens. said that this matter had become a very controversial one. He said he had had petitions for and against it and he wondered how far the Legislature should go in regulating such matters.

PROBATE COURT

The salary of Probate Judges were raised from 88.000-to 9.010 per annum. The Premier who pro- moted a bill to amend the Probate Act said that Probate Jud es were being paid less money t an the County Court judges and th I it would be only proper that they brought in line.
