Charlottetowrrs new City Coun- cil made its official bow last night at the first meeting of the-civic board since, the election.

Mayor ‘firmer in a message to the Councillors asked them‘ “to forget any and all personal de- sires and ambitions and with s, common. gilrpose, looking forward to e. definite goal, work ,, ther as one for the benefit and im- provement of our beloved city."

He congratulated the Councillors on their election and. reminded them of the responsibilities with which they would be faced during their two-year terms. '

The meeting disposed of regular routine business and passed sev- eral resolutions. Onerequested the legislature to pass a. minimum wage set setting the minimum wage to be paid by contractors in the city at 35 cents an hour. It also asked for authority to in- crease the tax on transient lab- orers tn $15.00. The resolution which was moved by Coun. Foster and seconded by Coun. Hennessey, also asked that the possibility of taxing non-resident contractors be investigated.

The proposed Brighton-Rocky Point bridge projects were also supported by the council in a. resolution, which provided that a letter be forwarded to the Pro- vincial Government informing it of the council's attitude-

A letter was read from the Mar- itime Electric Co. informing the council thatthe company was not considering the sale of it; Char- lottetown property and was not desirous of selling although if a satisfactory price was offered it. would be considered. Ilater Coun. Chandler, chairman of the light v- "f" informed the council that the Electric Co. had fyled a new rate for street lighting with the Board of Public Utilities. Under the new scale the city would have 59 additional 100 watt lights or a. proportionate number of larger lights at no additional cast. 1t would mean about $1200.00 worth of extra current at no ex- tra. cost he informed the council. The city had not asked for it and it would not in any way affect the city's claim for a lower general ratc.

A letter was read from the Ex- hibition Association asking th two Councillors be appointed to the advisory board of the assoc- iation. Couns. McLeod and Hen- nessey were appointed. '

A letter from the L. P. U. re- quested the council to ask for a minimum wage legislation. The matter was covered in bhc resolu- tlon.

A letter from the truckmerfs union was also prescn‘ ’ to the counclb. Coun. Hennesscy gave notice that at the next meeting of the council he would move an- amendmeht to‘ the- by-law con- cerning truckmen and their lic- enses.

Coun. Chandler announced that he was in touch with a. man as a possible vaiualor nf the Maritime Electric property in the city. He hoped that at the next meeting he would be in a position to inform the council what it would cost to have the valuation made. lie felt that the ultimate view of the council should be to buy 0111 111° property and felt that it would perhaps do much to solve the fin- anciol difficulties.

0f other resolutions passed at the meeting one provided for the conveying of the deed of the gravel pit at Surrey to the Mod- em Paving Co. The property 11941 been sold last year. The usual resolution providing for the over- draft st the bank was also Passed.

Coun. Dr. Dcugan was 191101115611 to represent the council on the dental clinic committee.

The following was the text of M “or Turner's message to the Councillors last night.
