“By a conveyance of land to the City, a new street known as Creetwood Drive was opened up in the northwest section of the city. This ares has provided a new site for the building of residential homes. To make this possible, land was deeded to the City free otf charge by Mrs. Florence Good- will, Mr. John H. Lewis and Mrs. Esther Johnson. A small jog of additional land was acquired at a price of $750. This was necessary to have the street line of Bright- ton Place carried through to Crest- wood Drive in prolongation of the line from Brighton Road to York Bane.

Meters and Traffic Lights

"Parking meters have receiv- ed much thought and consideration during the term of this Council and resolutions passed by the Council which, owing to the late- neee of the season when they were passed, were too late to act upon. I feel sure this will be started in the Spring, and 50 meters from each company will be installed as a trial, to see if they are the solution to our traf- fic problem.

“A survey of the City was mad-z by Northern Electric and the Canadian General Electric, to sec if traffic lights were feasible. Ac- cordingly the plan was turned over lo'our Police Department. Counts were made to ascertain the number of vehicles passing through a given intcrstxrticn Iii a given time , Only one intersec- tion showed sufflcicnt traffic, ac- cording to Northern Electric spe- cifications, to warrant the install- ing of traffic lights. Wlicihcr or not traffic lights will be installcd is for the incoming Council to decide.

"During the past year, your Council lnet with the Govern- ment exeouiivc in matters pcr- taining to the City, and on all occasions consideration was giver. our requests. i would like at this time to express to l-lon. Premier J. Walter Jones our apprcciation for the wonderful co-operziiitin given this Coimcli during the las‘. four‘ years, when l have had the privilege of being your Mayor.

“Once again we pressed our claims to Ottawa to b: rc-imbursed for moncy spcnt by this Muni- cipality in the emergency Shtlier at the Charlottetown Airport, this occasion being an interview with Mt‘. R. H. Winters While noih- ing definite has con forthcom- ing, still the maiici" is not a dead iSi-UC and should be kept opcn until a final decision lS arrived at."

Public Property

“In the Street Dipartnicnt much permanent work was carried on, mostly in lhc iialilre of pcrinriicii‘. concrete sidcivalks. This is sound policy, the initial cost be-

ing the only cost. "I am pleased also that we were able to purchase a new

grader plow, the need of which has been fcit for a long time.

“A start in formulating a policy of re-surfacing our streets has also been made, and this, too, iias been a step in the right direc- .10".

"I take the liberty here to di- gress from the current year and mention a few facts relevant to the five years I have presided as your chairman.

"In the year 104d the cost of education to the City of Charlotte- lown was $78,627.18. In the year 1949 the cost was $l25.l84.90, an increase of 59.2 per cent.

“Salaries of all employees were raised to combat the high cost of living, and the wage rate of labor was raised from 45c to 55 cents per hour. _

‘There was additional street lighting at extra charge on the revenue of the City,

"An extension to the Waterworks supply by the acquisition of new wells at Union increased the fix- ed charges on Sinking Fund dc- benture interest.

“The purchase of a new asphalt plant fully equipped also added to the requirements of debenture in- terest.

"These are items. I mention, but through sound financing we have carried on without making any additional increase in the rate of taxation to the thxpayers of this City. l think that this is an indication that you have had un-

Easi Germany In Vigorous Iluni For ScraLMelal

By THOMAS A. REED! BERLIN. Jan. 2'1 (AP) The Russians and their East-Ger- man satellite government have launched a vigorous drive for metals and scrap in an effort to eese But Germany's metal short- age. it was learned today.

This partly explains the recent conduct of Soviet guards on the zonal frontier, where any truck carrying metals or scrap is the immediate subject of either e painstaking examination or out- righrt confiscation.

The campaign is similar to that invoked by Hitler in i936.

The drive has reached even into the shops of East Berlin. Some stores are selling ordinary iron scrubbing pails only if the cus- tomers can supply some metal in return. German women report they have been allowed to buy hosiery without rationing coupons upon delivery or a pound dc lead.

Western Allied sources declare the Russians are ignoring an agreement with the Allies. resol- ed after the Berlin blockade wu lifted last year, to further the campaign.

the» FIFTEEN

By this agreement, l7 specific commodities were allowed to be shipped without question from Berlin to West Germany, and vicc. versa. Among ihcse were basic metals. such as copper.
