Water Rates Hearing

SUMMERSIDE BUREAU

- OF THE GUARDIAN

A motion was made at the town council's meeting is at night_ that the council write the secretary of the Public Utilities and request a meeting with him and possibly other members of the commission along with Hon. Hubert M|acNeill, MD, cial minister of health, between Christmas and New Years or early in the new year, in Sum- merside to clarify the water ra-tesituation.

The motion. made by Coun. George Key, Jr., arose follow- ing a lively and sometimes heated discussion brought about by a letter from the commission regarding the water rates.

The discussion, pro and con. centred on the commission's proposed rate of $3.05 per month for Summerside residents." it was felt that the town had been given only two alternatives by the board — accept the c o m- mission's proposedrates or ask for withdrawal from the board and order a survey.

Coun. D. Alex MacDonald agreed that a survey likely would “cost quite a bit of mm- ey" but added "I ink we would probably be better off in the long rum if we had one”.

Coun. o felt that something should be done soon in regards to the rates. "I don't think we should wait for a (ct- vicl election". He added “I think this very important. When you lose $80,000 it’s time to get going." ’ - ‘STAND ON OWN FEET’

“I an‘ se for the life of me", Coun. Herbert Schurman said, “why we should sit here and be dictated to by three or four people in Charlottetown. I can't see why we can't stand on our own two feet. Accepting the commission rate isn't going -help the budget that much be- cause the people it will affect most. won't be able to pay any-

“According to law we must either bring in the board rate of $3.05 or order a survey". Coun. Frances Perry remarked. ‘ we can't abide by the laws of the government how are we going -to keep our own

In answer to Mrs. Perryu query. Coun. Keys said “I am not against the law of the land. What I am against is this ‘sud- den jump in water rates from $7 per year to $36". SAID COUNCIL PROBLEM

Mayor J. Ernest Morrison said. "I don't -think the people elected us to jump when some-

too;

mg to let public utilities tell us; what to do"? The mayor tinued. “I feel it's a problem the council should iron out: the people in Charlottetown don‘t. understand the problem. We're sup to have our finger on the pulse beat of the town".

Following the discussion var- ious department reports were read by Town Manager J .A. Brophy.

Coun. Keys told the meeting that the members of the electric department had spent a "great deal" of time on Christmas lighting in the town. He said he had asked the plant superinten- dent to keep track of the costs to the town and suggested a meeting with the board of trade and retail merchants later ‘

yul some of the people involved in

the lighting venture were not taking enough responsibility.

"We'll probably be surprised at the cost of the work on the light

ing”, he added.

DREDGING URGED

A letter which had been sent to Solicitor-General J. Watson MacNaught by Mayor Morrison urging the dredging of Summer- side harbor was read.

The letter read, “The fact that the harbor is desperately in need of drredgng was vividily brought home to us during the

ly during our annual lobster carnival when ships refused anl

because of conditions of the channel".

It continued "this brings us to the point when we should bear in mind that we have ma ny ships loading and unloading such products as potatoes, grain. pulpwood and agriculture fertil- izers and reports are that some these boats su nvavvi-g\a- ble difficulties in and out of the harbor.

If the present state of the bar- bor". the letter continued. “is to remain as is indefinitely It may well be taken for granted

that our harbor will fast he come obsolete which would have a drastic effect on the

economy of the whole area".

STREET NAMED , A resolution was passed that
