The San i uum Commission will rxisl only in advisory capacity ai- tcr the first of April. This was ,g.-cod upon in a bill given second reading in the Legislature yester- day, The bill entitled the Senator- lum Act was introduced by Hon. M. 1.. Bonnell. Minister of Health.

,llr. Bonell explained that the act was entirely new and was be- mu t-nacted for the purpose of hnnging the Sanatorium directl under the Department of Healt . lie felt that this was necess since the Government was conir - huting about 3950.000 annually for the upkeep of the institution and since it was the peoples money they had a right to know where the money was going-

Another reason given by the Minister for the change in ad: ministration was to bring the San into line as far as other institut- ions under the Department were concerned. He said wages and classification of positions were en- tirely different in the Sanatorium to those of such institutions as Faloonwood or the Infirmary.

UNDER CONSIDERATION

Premier Matheaon said the mat- ter of havlngthe Snnatorium under the Department had been in the minds of Government officials for n number of years. He expressed the hope that the Commission would see fit to stay on. "Their experience is invaluable and would prove to be very helpful to the Minister." he said.

The Premier paid high tribute to Colonel G. E. Full the Chair- man of the Commission. "He has done an excellent job and we are deeply grateful to public i i I

Premier: "This Legislature set up the original Board giving them authority and this Legislature can change that authority. 1 do not think anyone is being prejudiced by the expropriation and I don't think any notice in this case is necessary."

R. R. Bell: "Is there any trouble with the Board? Have they been notified that the change is going to be made - if not they are in for a big surprise."

Premier: "It will be no surprise to anyone; this has been talked of for the past five years."

Dr. L. G. Dewar (P.C.). Second Prince wanted to know what ef- fect the Act would have on the orthopedic centre.

Dr. Bonnell said the orthopedic centre was hi the Sanatoriu... Building and would therefore come under the jurisdiction of the De- partment.

The ruling apparently holds that the Lobster Fishery Regulations are inoperative so far as certain Island waters are concerned. The cases involved fishing in the vici- nity of Judes Point. It has been found that the Regulations did not define -I' ” 'y the area in which it is illegal to take short lobsters. Neither by statute nor regulation has there been established a three- mlle or any territorial limit for fisheries purposes.

The right of non-residents to vote

fact of considerable discussion when an act to amend the City of Charlottetown Incorporation Act was introduced in the Legislature by Hon. B. Earle MacDonald. The bill was still in Committee when tbs House adjourned for the week- en .

other clauses in the amendment include the changing of the clos- ing time in civic election from five to six p.m.: the regulating of taxi licenses and the closing hours of hairdresser and barber shops.

Mr. MacDonald explained . that there is quite a number of non- residents earning their living in the City who are paying a 825 Educational tax. There was some confusion at the last civic election when one member of a family be- cause he gave the address of his place of employment was allowed to vote while another member of the same family was denied the privilege because he or she had given their home address outside the city.

Mr. MacDonald said the City Council had asked for this legislat- ion cnd he thought they were per- fectly justifled in doing so. "If a person is taxed 325 by the the City

they have a right to vote for or against the Council."

bill if he would consider an amend- lllellt which would allow non-resid- ant property owners a vote.

Mr. MacDonald said that at one time he was of the same opinion as Mr. Large regarding the right of non-resident property owner. to vote. But after it was pointed out to him that a number of cutof- towners could own enough proper- ty to influence the vote. he was less enthusiastic along these lines.

He agreed that such a situation might be a far fetched outlook on the matter however he could for- see the possibility of it happening.

Mr. MacDonald suggested to Mr. Large that he get in touch with the Mayor and Council to deter- mine whether they wanted such leslslation passed and if they did he would agree to the amendment.

OPPOSED LAST BILL

Hon. Eugene Cullen recalled that during the last two sessions of the House he had opposed the impog. 1lIE.of an educational tax on non- residents who did not even have the privilege of sending their child- ren to the schools on which they were paying taxes.

"This amendment is even more ridiculous than the last one. In- stead of improving the electoral Ictnwc are adding to its confus- lon. he said. "There are a great min? . lying educational taxes from outside the City who could control "10 vote."

Mr. MacDonald said there was not the danger in giving the franc- hise to educational tax payers that there would be in giving it to pro- Petty owners. The property owner on the one band would have no other interest than the revenue he derived from his estate while the others would have to the tax in any event and d have no ulterior motive in trying to control City affairs.

Tanker ls Adrift Off long Island

NEW YORK (AP)-Its rudder gone, a storm - lashed tanker pitched and rolled toward Long Island's south shore Friday night. Coast guard vessels raced against time in an effort to save her.

The latest radio-Ameasage from the 174-foot tanker. the Sylvia. came shortly before 9 p.m. AST. saying she was within 2'5 miles of being beached and still being buried relentlessly landward.

Six hours earlier. the tanker had been four miles offshore. She is loaded with gasoline and has 13 crew members aboard.

Two coast guard cutters. the Tamora from New York and the Owasco from New London, Conn, were battling 60-mile-an - hour winds and wild seas to reach the stricken vessel.

But there was no estimate of how soon they would get there--or whether it would be in time.

"We're hoping." a coast guard spokesman said. "But they're bucking some mighty rough weather. We can't tell until they get farther out how much it's going to slow them down."

WIND IS MASTER

The tanker. unable to control its direction. was whipped violently back and forth in the waves and wind. By using its engines inter- mlttently. however, it was able to delay the shore-ward drift.

"Using engine to work off-shore as ship swings permit," the radio message said.

Charge Screen Of Silence

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)-British authorities expelled 30 household- ers and shopkeepers from a ter- rorist ”murder zone" in downtown Nicosia Friday.

Field Marshal Sir John Harding, the governor issued the order as collective punishment for a screen of silence shielding a bloody chal- lenge to British rule by pro-Greek gunmen.

Six British soldiers and a police sergeant have been killed within the zone, all by bullets in the back, since last October. Throughout the colony. 18 British servicemen have died.

The banishment order came after Martin Clements. British commissioner for Nicosia. sum- moned 75 resldents to an outdoor inquiry court in a search for in- formation on the killings.

IN DANGER ZONE

Ten families were instructed to leave and shutters went down on 20 shops. All their quarters over- looked places where shootings have occurred. The expelled were told to find their own lodgings elsewhere until the area is made safe. A parachute trooper ex- plained it was thought these per- sons could have seen the shoot- lugs. but decided not to help au- thorities Iolve them.
