ant- amount. The airport housing project was the worst piece of maladministrlrtion, Coun, Farmer stated, of which the City had over been guilty.

Mayor B. Earle MacDonald said he agreed with all of Coun. Farmer's statements. The fact ne- malned, however, that the City had pledged itself to the under- taking and that all bills up to May 31, when the City's financial responsibility mused, would have to be paid. He called upon Mr. F. W. Hyndman to corroborate his statement that the representative citizens of the City had been be- hind the move and that at a special meeting of approximately 100 citi- zens, 95 per cent of them had urg- ed the City Council to proceed with the housing roject.

Mr. Hyndman su stantiated the Mayor's remarks and added that he had been in favour of a three- man committee which would have made it impossible for one man to

it have full authority regarding the

project. Daylight Saving Time

Coun. LePage said he felt sure the City Council had made a mis- take in deciding to make daylight saving time effective on April 28. would mean that all business firms would be closed at 4130 in- stead of at 5:30 as now. That would only be the middle of the afternoon for the farmer who would not be able to leave his work to come into town. Bummer- side, Cdllfi. LePaSe said, had been too wise to make such a mistake and had rejected all proposals to follow the decision of the maln- land towns.

His motion to rescind the reso- lution making daylight savlns time effective from April 28 to Sept, 28 was seconded by Coun. C. M. Cox who spoke in favour of the present Atlantic Standard time, The motion was defeated. Coun. N‘, W. Lowther said the letter from Mr. Rush was worthy of serious onsideration, If the returned men, who are at present receiving out-of-work benefits, were not included in the figures

given, then the Council should give the question very grave study.
