The report stated that "some town residents may say they should receive a reduction too. But whatever extra they con- tribute to the net profit of the Summer-side light department through rates, means that much less to pay in taxes."

FLECTRIC RATES

Country users cannot save in taxes by paying higher electric rates, the report said. At pre- sent, half of Travellers R e s t. Sherbrooke, St. Eleanors _ wilmot are on higher electric rates and the other half of al these districts are on low rates. which, the report. said "is not rl ht"

in the near future the report continued, it is expected an ap- plication will be made to the Pirblic Utilities Board for A transfer of the rural lines now served by the town to Maritime Electric." “The board ‘of trade will be given a chance to withdraw from the picture if they think there would be a risk of embar- rassment to the board.

engage in highly competitive trucking operations off the farm and thus the field would be left to the regular non-farm truck- ers. This lower license fee would apply to the farmer's own trucking and farmers wishing to use their trucks for outside trucking would, of course, pay the full license fee.

SPRAY SUBSIDY

The third request was for a subsidy on pea spray. The re- port said ernment now pays half the cost 5 p r a y used on grain crops but does not subsidize in a similar way. spray used ‘on pea crops.

"As peas are fast becoming a major crop on P.E.I.." it contin- ued, “we ask the board to re- quest that this subsidy on weed killing materials be extended to cover the weed ki 'ng portions

of the spray used on pea crops."

CITY COUNCIL

(Continued from page 1) from Belvedere Avenue all the way to Euston Street with the west boundary approximating Upper Queen Street with the excepion of a small section be- tween Nassau and Kirkwood Drive which contains the New- land Street area.

At Euston Street it would be extended westward slightly to

d include the block bounded by

Euston. Spring Park Road. Up-

] rper Queen and Chestnut.

The commercial zone also apply on the east side of Malpeque Road from the south- ern part of the Experimental

Farm to the northern side of Euston Street. To the north of that it is pro-

as park and institutional‘ as it is felt with Saint Dunstan‘s Uni- versity and the Experimental Farm there is little likelihood of changes being made.

e entire commercial zone on this east side of the highway would be 250 feet deep. Then to -the east of this zone it is propos-

d ed to establish an industrial

zone approximately surrounding Jordan Crescent and ru n south along the city limits and following a narrow band no of Lapthorne Avenue to Long- worth Avenue.

een small section roughly running from Allen Street to Gay Avenue. taking in both sides of Upper Prince Street and Walthen Drive, will be designated a residential area. SCHOOL EXPANSION

Another change to be propos- ed is the inclusion of that sec- tion of the city bou n ded by Upper Queen Street, Desfirisay Crescent. Spring Park Road and Chestnut Street, in a section to be zoned for parks and institu- tional uses. The reason for this. it was said. is to permit any needed future expansion of St. Jean School.

Mr. Butler stated last night that following the introduction to City Council of the proposed changes any objections by citi- zens to them would be received at City Ball. All such complaints

be heard by Council authority with the objectors having an op- portunity of appearing.

Bullet Shutters Kitchen Window

KENSINGTON — The Sum- merside detachment of th RCMP along with toivn consta- ible Vernon Reeves are investi- gatinlg a shooting incident which occurred here Wednesday.

Late Wednesday afternoon the usual calm was shattered when a shot was fired through the kitchen window of the home of Richard Kelly here, scattering glass over the kitchen floor. No one was injured in the in- cident and it's believed that a rifle was picked up by consta- ble Reeves while carrying out an investigation later. It's also unofficially reported that the spent bullet was recovered.

Rumors are that the bullet was fired by one of two youths playing with a gun some dis- tance from the Kelly home.
