Unsatisfactory sanitary and other conditions in areas contiguous to Charlottetown are to be investigat- ed immediately by a. special Conn. mittee of the Provincial Legislat- ure’ appointed yesterday by the Shel-Ker on motion of Premier J. Walter Jones.

The committee, consisting of l-Iori, pr. MaoMilian. Hon. G. H. Barbour, Hon. T. W. L.

Prowse and Messrs. Leslie Hunter and Prod C. Ramisay, will confer with the Town Planning Commit» tee and report back to the Legis- lature as soon as possible.

The matter was brought uip by Premier Jens iii the House abort- ly before adjournment yesterday at 6 o'clock. He said the Provincial Planning Board had been conduct- ing a survey in areas contiguous to Ohariottetovti and had found that conditions’ wit-ii hespect to sanitat- ion, housing, iight and power. and streets, called for-corrective meas- tu-es.

He referred particularly to the Parkdaic area. which has now be- come thickly settled. but strcsscd that this was not. the ou-Zy area rc- quii-iiii; attention. He had been told tthat there were uruatiifactory con- ditions even in the National Park with regard to water supply.

lie moved that the House appoint a committee to‘ inquire into and investigate iii: conditions as al- leged and rcport back to this liousc with such recommendations as to the committee may seem fit. He added that~he would iikc to have the committee confer with the Planning Board and report to the Legislature next week at its caril- est conveniences.
