”This is s 4 per cent increase -,.-or the first quarter and 0 PI!" cent over the 1954 fill!!! 07 334 sillion." Mr. Harris said. "It would gppear. therefore. that if the level rr production in the second quarter is reasonably well maintained dur- ing the second half of the year. the forecasts I made at Budget time about the size of the national Income in 1955 will be considerab iurpassed."

"There are” Mr. Harts caution- pd "some uiiccrlalntles ahead of us. There is still the usual season- ll concern over the Western wheat trop. and of course the drought n nntarlo has had unfortunate results. But our exports this year are some 10 per cent above the levels of last year and one can see no evidence of any decline in demand in the United States. where business is very active.

Mr. Mann spoke of the possibil- ities of tidal power which he said for a long time has -remained dor- mant in so far as research was concerned. He spoke of oil devel- opement in New Brunswick, point- ing out that one well is at present producing 400 bbls. a day. "They have spent millions in south Amer- ica and in other parts of the world developing the oil industry. why not in New Brunswick?" asked the speaker.

He cautioned the Council mem- bers not to expect results over- night but to work hard and con- sistently and so that their efforts would be rewarded over the years.

BIG QUESTION The big question at the moment is whether she will connect up with the low pressure through." he said. She will have to do it within 14 hours and Just now it doesn't ap- pear she is moving quite fast enough to make the connection."

The six members of the panel dealt with various phases of in- dustry ns it was related to their own particular locality. In general they were pointing out some of the difficulties they were experiencing and the obstacles to be met.

OPTIMISTIC VIEW

Not all of the panel speakers had a gloomy picture to paint. While his co-members were point- ing out disadvantages. Mr. E. A. Levesque from Edmundaton. N. I. brought heartfelt applause from the convention when he began to point out the many advantages the Marltimes and particularly his own Province had.

Mr. Levesque rather than be- moanlng the transportation issue. pointed out the proximity of many naiural resources. He told the meeting that New Brunswick had surplus ore deposits of 65.000000 ns in one mine. He spoke of the pulp and paper industry, the water power of the St. John River. the coal fields of the Maritime Pro- vinces. the Christmas Tree pv-for iial. the plywood industry. the win- tar sea rts and the possibility of

Wafer F

The City Council. by a majority vote. yesterday requested the Com- mlssioners of Sewers and Water Supply to proceed with the fluor- idation of the City water supply. The action was taken at the month- ly Council meeting in the' City Hall. with his Worship Mayor J. David Stewart presiding. Councillors Elmer MacDonald. A. L. wright. J. A. Gormley and F. G.

Councillor E. C. Johnstonc was not present.

Councillor Hutcheson stated that a cons ' ant engineer from Mont- rcal had estimated that it would cost about sl3.000 to fluorldate the water and it had been ascertained in other centres that fluoridation would decrease by about two- thirds the number of cavities in the teeth of-children.

Councillor Wright stated that he would like to obtain the opinion of at least three dental doctors be- fore maktng any decision on the matter and Councillor Gaudet add- ed that there were so many argu- ments pro and con on the subject that it was difficult to arrive at a sure decision.

SBA WALL REPAIRS R

In other rcsulutlons it was moved that the public property committee be authorized to proceed with the necessary repairs to the concrete sea wall. east of Fort Edward at Victoria Park. It was pointed out by Councillor MacDonald that there are four holes in the concrete brestwork and unless these were repaired the whole well would be in danger of collapsing this win- icr. . it was also voted that the gate on Government Pond. which is gone. be replaced.

The Fire Committee was author- lsed to spend a sum not exceeding i200 in recognition of the mem- bers of the Department who have served for twenty-five years.
