safety angle would be greatly en- hanced by the installation of the lights. However, no definite de- cision was reached on action to be taken.

Polio Cases Slight

Dr. Wendell MacDonald, City Health Officer, told the Council that poliomyletis had caused lit- tle or no worry here this year. He said that of the six reported cases In the city only one indicat- ed residual paralysis. He thought the urban dwellers were better off in this respect than the rural peo- ple as in a city there were many more mild forms of the disease which aided in building immun- ity to serious attack. ,

Councillor Johnstone suggested that the roadway on the west side of Government Pond be closed to traffic and an effort made to beautify the land between the pond and the Prince Edward Is- land Hospital. He cited the need for the maintaining of as many "open spaces” in city limits as was possible and thought the five acres available there would be a really beautiful section and an as- set to the city.

Another matter for brief debate was the trampled down earth on the south side of the Post Office. It was felt this could be grassed and fenced in to keep people from spoiling the appearance of the whole area.

Street Parking

A general discussion of the street parking problem found Councillor Farmer, chairman of the Police Committee, advising the Council that at present we were running 10 years ahead of the estimated number of auto- mobile vehicles in use. He said there were far more cars than ever before and many of the own- ers have no garages. A large group of car owners live in apartment houses with no gar- age facilities and many more board in private homes. This class of owner has been forced to leave their cars on the streets over night.

He thought that very soon the Council would have to deal with the problem of finding some or-

derly way of parking. Mayor J. D.

M.:......M........ Stewart said that though Police were going easy at first the peo- ple wlthout garages would sim- ply have to learn that they must find them.

Councillor T. Racy Cudmore did not agree that the recently pass- ed taxi by-law was fair to taxi drivers. He said they should have the privilege of taking a fare to a. store and waiting there for the return trip.

Councillor Mcccrmac. chairman

of the Fire Committee, said that in a. test supervised by fire un- derwriters recently the efficiency of the two Fire Department pump- era was shown to be down 10 per cent from last year. He said the time was at hand when a new machine would have to be pur- chased. He also suggested a fut- ture installation of more sprinkler ennunciator systems in private in- dustry to instantly announce in the fireball the presence of a fire in any of the buildings thus protected. Councillor 1'. J. Storey. chair- man of the Streets Committee, said that all figures were not yet available. He still felt the depart- ment would be within its estimat- ed figure for the year's street work. He told the Council that within the past two weeks the department had laid off all its casual labor and was carrying on now with its own semi-permanent employees.

He thought the sidewalk repair work undertaken this fall was progressing favorably and said that such type of project would be a main consideration next. year. He reminded other Councillors to keep their requests for sidewalk repairs to a basis which would not involve any great financial out-

y.

Councillor Storey said that It was admitted that the work this fall was merely of a stopgap na- ture but they were doing the best they could and endeavouring to remove any dangerous situations. on wooden sidewalks they were putting in new planks to make walking ufer.

There was a brief discussion regarding compl hits of citizens who had pointed their houses and then found the streets being excavated and the dust spoiling the paint. jobs. The Council mem- here, while appreciating the posi- tion of the house owners, felt that there was no liability attached to the city or the contractors and that ii any recompense were giv- en any owner they would be set- ting : dangerous precedent.

Unique Record of Good Business Relations Reported

....'The arrival of the M. V. Ron- ald George at port In Montague yesterday marks a. half-century of consecutive annual trips on which the businme firm of W. W. Ware- ham. St. John, mid. has sent one of its many ships to Montague to load produce supplied by Poole and Thompson, Ltd.

This is an enviable record of good business relations between two well known firms, and is indicative of the character and personalities of the men who continued such a long and firm business relation.

The firm of Poole and Thompson was first opened in 1889, when Mr. Leith Poole and Mr. George Thomp- son entered a partnership 00 con- duct a. general store for the local trade. and also to export produce to other provinces and countries. This was in the days of the wooden ships, and for a quarter century and more, it was not uncommon to see the river at Montague filled with ships extending from the bridge to Well past what was then the Poole and Thompson wharf. Both sides of the river had wharfage space at that time, and many will recall crossing the river over the ships' decks. Ship movement at that time was so constant, that many were waiting to get a wharf berth, and as soon as one ship was loaded. an- other immediately took its place. As time passed. and business con- ditions changed, Poole and 'I'homp- son kept abreast of the times, and replaced their early store in 1921 with a large modern one, and in- troduced many new lines of'stock. to make it the leading store of the area. However in I929 it was des- troyed by fire, and after several years the office was opened in their large warehouse, where Mr. L.H. Poole, a son of Mr. Lelth Poole, conducts a large export and import business.

Mr. Poole is justly proud of this golden anniversary in business re- lations with W,W. Wareham of Newfoundland. The 180-ton ship, under the command of Capt. Sam Ridout, will take on a full cargo of produce before sailing for port at Harbour Buflett, Newfoundland.

cost of inspection services during the construction of the streets Councillor Storey expressed his personal belief that the services provided had saved the city be- tween 350,000 and t60.000 this

year.

Two of the Councillors Elmer MacDonald and Arthur Gormley opposed the payment of the bill for the new street sweeper. How- ever the other six Councillors agreed to payment. Councillor Storey said its operation was sat- isfactory and "it is doing a. good job of work." Mayor Stewart gave his personal opinion that the streets were a lot cleaner than at this time last year. Chairman storey thought its purchase was a step in the right direction and would save the city considerable money. He pointed out that at this period of the year the manual sweepers were always laid off, but the sweeper was still on the job. There was a short discussion re- garding an application for per- mission to conduct a lunch coun- ter service in connection with the sale of some grocery items. It was decided to investigate further. The Mayor Johnstone to prepare a. statement of claim against the Provincial Government prior to the next ses- sion of the Legislature. Mr. John- stone also served notice that he would bring before the Council a proposal to increase the tax assessment against the Forum. Some members. including Coun- cillor Cudmore, felt that the Forum was in the nature of a community centre and its tax rate should be low as it was not mak- ing any money.

5.I).U. congratulated

The Council unanimously agreed to send a letter of congratula- tions to Saint Dunstan's Univer- sity on the winning of its first Maritime Intercollegiate Football title. It was decided that letters should go to the Rector and to the team coach Mr. A. J. Mc- Adam.

When the meeting first opened with all Councillors in attendance there was a brief note regarding the holding of a Bicentennary Celebration here in 1956. Word had been received from Halifax on how it was promoted there in 1949 and the matter will be studied further.

A resolution of the Council ac- cepting the conveyance of land from Mrs. Elizabeth Esther John- son and George W. Johnson be rescinded u the city might be- come involved in a. possible other conveyance of part of the same land. No deed had been received and no money was involved.
