Government Pond will be pre- served as a Charlottetown beauty spot if at all possible. Mayor E. C. Johnstone said last evening. He was commenting on fears ex- pressed in thé Legislature yes- | terday that the pond might be dratned or filled in.
The question was raised in the Legislature by Hon B. Earle Mac- Donald, one of the City’s repre- sentatives in the House. He had heard fears expressed that . the Pond would be filled in or drain- ed. Citizens in the area were alarmed at the idea of either al- ternative, Mr. MacDonald said. SEWAGE CONDUIT ties in maintaining the Pond have developed as a result of running the sewage conduit for W. through the area. Part of

explained. In former years there was enough fresh water entering it from a little brook that started up in the Spring Park area, to keep the pond well filled.
Now, however, that brook is encased in the mew sewage c°n- duit and in the drier periods of the year, when there is no surface run off, there will be no water to enter the pona except from the sea.
PUMPING WATER
Before entertaining amy thought of abandoning the Pond “TI w favor pumping water into it from the sea, Mayor Johnstone said yesterday afternoon.
At a recent Council meeting of the councillors suggested that a new Civic Centre might be built on the site of the pond. He favor- ed retaining the present parking | let on the site of the oid Market Building.
This was the suggestion to which Hon Mr. MacDonald took such strong exception yesterday. Such a suggestion ‘‘seems very far fetched’, he observed.

The celebration of St. Patrick's Day was very quiet indeed. and the only external Signs of Irish origin on the part of individuals were the traditional shamrocks worn on jackets and sweaters. A very few went so far as to don green ties and matching shirts for the occasion.
