to those of a population of 500 to l.ll0tl people and 230 gallons of buttermilk would represent an additional 900 people. It s aid during last summer an extimat. ed average of M0 to 300 gallons of buttermilk per day was dum- pod into the city sewer.

The report appears to be in- concliisive retzarding the advis- ability of swimming at nearby Cliarlottetown areas.

The points chosen were th e end of Kirkwood Drive. Victoria Park near the bathhouse. CNR Wharf. Southport Wharf, Battery Pnint— at the inside of the har- bour entrance—and Seat 1' o u t Point.

The report states the results in terms of coliform count were noticeably better than those ob- tained in tests made during the summers of 1960-62 and attribut- es this partly t.o a modification

the laboratory technique. This year the membrane filter tech- nique providing an exact bacter- ia count was used. Previously the count was based on the "most probably number" of bac- teria deitarniined after tests.
