"Hforts Ignored

A letter from the assistant de-

"| puty minister of health, read by

|Dr. W. L. MaeDonald, — city health Officer, hs he gave his annual report to city council ast night stated that “It would appear from the results of the Charlottetown plants that. our efforts to improve the milk sit- uation have been largely ignor- ed by these plants.”

The letter further stated that thé plants are worse or at the most holding their poor level and noted that “perhaps it is-timeto—resort-to more severe measures than we have been employing.”

Dr, MacDonald noted that it was “all too easy to be criti- cal but I also realize that, in

this day-atit age, where milk 1p such an every day part of © oer

food, those handling milk: shou’ §

“The Board is much aware | that this is a tremendous bur- den for this city to shoulder im addition to the many other ur- |

es that must be made. That this, - preceeding councils have had the vision and courage to accept this great challenge must |

Space Lack

Seen Problem | Of Fire Dept.

A recommendation that seri- ous thought be given to the se curing of larger premises for the staff and equipment at the fire hal! was contained in the re- port of the fire committee sub- mitted last night by Couns. Ar- thur Wright, Dorothy Corrigan

‘fand William R, MacNeil.

It was noted that difficulty is jnow found in the ‘movement and handling of equipment, and that office space is lacking.

A further lowering of the fire

loss for the year occurred with!

the year’s total loss being $137,- 186. The department answered 178 calls,

The committee was also con- cerned with the lack of an ade- quate water ;sypply at the east end of the city, noting that the four-inch main, near the Hills- boro Bridge, is inadequate to supply water volume for the pumper.

It was_stated that an inspec- tion of the equipment at the fire hall shows it ‘to be careful- ly .atfended and in good condi- tion.’

Ht is possible to predict that 1962 will be one of the busiest construction periods ever, and trades will be scarce.

You may not be able to obtain the carpenters _and other trades people when the rush starts. It isa wise soins, Ueardieess who has those jobs done now - during the Winter Months.
