In the Health Act provision i5 made for arrangement into Health Unit groups or districts of the sev- eral existing school districts and the Royalties of Charlottetown and Georgetown.
1t is also provided that the Boards oi Health of Charlottetown and each incorporated town shall be the respective City and Town Councils, unless these Councils themselves appoint boards to act in that capacity. In any case. they shall not employ as health officers the health officers appointed by the Provincial Government.

Measure Goes. To House 0f lords Next
LONDON, March 0 — (CPI - The House of Commons tonight Dassed the British North American bill which confirms and gives ef- fect to the terms of union agreed between Canada and Newfound- land.
Third and final reading came after the Commons again rejected an Opposition amendment_by Sir Alan Herbert. independent mem- ber for Oxford University". by vote of 241 in 12. The bill now goes to the House of Lords. .
Sir Alan asked that responsible government be restored to New- foundland. The amendment would have made union effective only if Rfillroved by the Newfoundland parliament.
The B. N. A. bill received second reading a week ago after the Com- mons rejected an Opposition amendment lvy Sir Alan by a vote of 217 to l5.
The B. N. A. bill. which confirms certain iltangea in the British North America Act on which Can- ada's constitution is based, would clear the wav for Newfoundland to become the 10th Canadian Pro- vince as scheduled March 31.
Sir Hartley Shavvcross. attorney- general. said Hint the Statute of Westminster did not apply to New- foundland. The true position. he said. was that the. British Parlia- ment enjoyed complete and un- fettered snvereighty over New- foundland. Newfoundland. though in name a dominion. was in fact a colony. Sir Hartley added.
Meanwhile. an appeal to the judicial committee nf the Privy Council has been made by form- er members of the Newfoundland Legislature challenging the legality of the procedure lending to con- federation.
Sir Hartley was asked whether the B. N. A hill, if passed. would make the appeal» tn the Privy Council "vain and nugatory." He said he would not go aa far as saying that but added:
"If ivould certainly remove some of the intended results of the ap- peat. It may well be that if this hill ls passed those who are pur- sulng the appeal would not then consider it worthwhile to do so."
111e, Attorney-General predicted it ivotiid he impossible to get the appeal before the Privy Council before the end of March when union becomes effective.
