Brilian Expected Partner

BRUSSELS tAPl—-A Dutch authority said Saturday the six Common Market nations have assumed Britain’s entry as a partner in the market “will be a fact by Jan. 1'. 1964."

Hans Van Houtcn. chairman of the Common Market's min- istcrial council, gave this hint on the prospective outcome of current tortuous negotiations.

Van Houten told a press con- ference the date is not official, but has been used in working documents prepared in connec- tion with Britain's bid for membership.

Sources close to the British delegation said later no such date ha been mentioned in the negotiating sessions. Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath, who heads the British team, has

insisted he is not negotiating under any deadline.

Feeling among the British at the end of their 13th bargaining session with the six was that perhaps they had won a little more than they expected.

meats. The Six also proposed a yearly tariff quota on mutton and lamb, which would have the effect of allowing Britain to continue importing these meats cheaply from New Zealand and Australia.

The six also agreed to grad- ual application of their exter- nal tariff on 55 out of 75 items which the British now Import duty-free from Commonwealth countries.

The British sought more re- ductions or tariffs quotas on the 20 remaining items. The Six, while expressing disap- pointment at this attitude to- ward their package deal, prom- ised to think again.

The British did not commit themselves on the six’s offer of a tariff quota (a set quantity subject to tariffs) for Canadian newsprint. After consulting with Canada, they asked the six to say how they felt duty- free imports of newsprint would damage them.

LISTED THINGS WRONG The Pitomcter Report pre- sented early this year after a water waste and engineering study, made in 1961. listed many things wrong with the old sys- tem and indicated a serious con- ition when it stated: “the cum- ulative result of the above de- fects is such that the system is quite incapable of providing necessary fire flows, except in isolated instances."

Mr. Manuel said. there remains an addition- al 700 feet of six-inch pipe to be laid along Kent Street. and the same amount of this size on Churchill Avenue, from North River Road to Ambrose Street.

The pipe for this part of the program arrived in the city just this week, and work on laying it was scheduled to get underway immediately.

The extent of the work done in the past few months indicat- es that this city is in a much better fire fighting position than at the same time last year.
