?uei Shortage teporled Here

There will apparently be no ,,,.,,-page of fuel here this winter 1 supplies remain the some as at resent. Coal dealers report mcqunte quantities although some if them feel greater stockpiling night decrease the possibility of my shorts-ze later.

The same is believed true of the fuel oil situation with dealers sat- isfied with stocks.

During the war years and after- .1 nrds citizens were noted for get- ring their coal into the cellars during the summer. This was done neoause of fear of shortages .vhlch sometimes were strongly noticeable. However, one dealer szilili yesterday the people were drifting back to their pre-war h.-iblts and waiting for mold weather and slippery streets. An- mhcr remarked that perhaps the pcopla were not buying in the smnmcr because of cost. With much of the business being done on credit it is frequently the nut-

umn before a customer has the past winter's coal paid for. Prices are approximately the

same as last year and conditions prevailing than generally hold this season. A dealer said there WIIS a slight Increase in costs this your due to higher freight. but he was absorbing the increase.

He also stated there was a tend- vllcy to shortages In some par- ticular types of coal. but he felt this was due pin a reported mild shortage in cars to haul the coal and would be corrected shortly.

A warning that Prince Edward Island "is fast losing its prefer- red positlon as I! supplier of quality eggs" is sounded by F. M. Nash, district Inspector of poultry products, In his weekly market report.

"Generally speaking," Mr. Nash says. "our eggs are not in the premium class and quite often are considered by buyers as sec- ond cbolce on an open market. This has been brought about by a lsxness in our production, grading and marketing methods. There II not that will to place on the market a quality pro- duct.

"These conditions can be rem- edied and must be remedied if we are to retain our position in the egg market." The future of our egg Industry poses a prob- lem and A challenge to the in- dustry. To produce quality eggs. the producer must specialize, not so much in the number of birds kept, but in keeping and main- taining their flocks in a manner that through modern feeding. sanitation and management, a quality product is assured. The trade must have the will to grade, pack and ryarket a pro- duct that ls second to none, not one that is possible.

"If everyone interested in the egg Industry works to develop and co-ordinate a more carefully planned. well directed program- me covering all phases of pro-

-1

duction, grading, packing and selling. the next few years can do wonders in regaining our

rightful place in the egg mar- ket." Mr. Nash adds.

Receipts Decline Egg receipts continue to de- cllne. Quality is showing further improvement. Puller production is increasing slowly.

Mayoraiiy

M. Case Argued

After argument by counsel yes- terday the mandamus proceedlnze In connection with the office of Mayor of the City of Charlotte- town were adjourned .until the 26th of this month. The petitioner. Mr. M. Altban Farmer. acted as his own counsel.

Mr. K. M. Martin.-K.C- presented the .City Clerk and the individual members of the City Council: His instructions were "that the clerk's duties were purely administrative and that he neither opposed nor support- ed the application requiring a by-election for Mayor. The mem- bers of the City Council had no personal interest in the result. but were concerned only in get- ting the ruling of the Court.

Mayor B. Earle MacDonald had been served with the papers In the matter but was not repre- sented by counsel.

Mr. Farmer reviewed the facts foi- the presiding judge. Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell. They had been set out in an agreed

re-

special case. The question at issue is the date when Mayor Mac-Donald became disqualified

for that civic office by becom- ing a member of the Legislative Assembly after successfully con- testing the district of Fifth Queens in the generalelection of April 26th list.

He referred to the Charlotte- town incorporation Act, Legisla- tive Assembly Act and English cases cited in May on Parlia- mentary Proccdure including that of Baron Rothschild who for ele-vgn years acted as a. Member of arlla-ment, except for sitting and voting. without having taken the oath of allegiance.

Questions Civic Power

Mr. Farmer also expressed doubt as to whether the C;ty Council has power to grant au- thority to an acting Mayor. pre- suming ihe office became vacant on declara-iion day. In that case the only cure was to have a new- Mayor elected.

Mr. Martin raised the point that the issue was becoming more of an academic than a practical one, seeing that the Legislature is to -be in session by the 20rd of this month. He contended that the power of the Council to ap- point an acting Mayor can be exercised in case of any incap- acity of the Mayor.

The Chief Justice and both counsel agreed that mandamus is an extraordinary remedy and not available where no sub- stantial issue is involved. Re- ferring to Rogers on Elections. Mr. Martin brought out. among other things, that under the com- mon law of parliament it was possible to be elected and re- turned for more than one riding but that a member could only be sworn and take his seat and vote in respect of one of them. The B.N.A. Act. which contains the requirement of the oath of allegiance for members is not satisfied by the taking of prior oaths of allegiance as councillor or mayor.
