it was stated in the Legislature yesterday afternoon by Premier Waiter Jones.

"Sewerage and water will have to, be provided in tho area." he said. "We cannot keep tip a Health Department with .1 big nicnace yist outside the City.”

Hon. Dr. MacMillan stated tliat the City was in danger of having an epidemic cf typhoid at any time. "Only Providence has pro- leclcd US." he stated. "The wnule place is in need of supervision."

Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of industry and Natural Resources. opened the discussion on the long- standing water supply and sewer-

"Under the new proposals." Darby said, "Prince Edward Islam: will receive in the fiscal year 1952- 53, s3.280.000 based on assumed G. N. P. of 3.17.5 billions in 1950 and 513 billions in 1951. Indications are that the G. N.P. for 1951 will great- ly exceed this estimate and, if so. the Provincial return will be con- siderably augmented.

"Whlle the amount this Prov- ince will receive may substantially vary, nevertheless the guaranteed minimum will not be appreciably less than that provided for in the budget, and in the first year of the new agreement will be approxim- ately 5200.000 more.

(I -s

Addressing the large audience of teachers who gathered for the morning session at 9.30, Dr. Shaw spoke to them on ”We The Teach- ers" and stressed the fact; that they must realize the importance of the work they were undertak- ing. He stated the teaching pro- fession ln this Province had never enjoyed the prestige which was its right. and asked the teachcrslto look within themselves for the cause out this.

,"Public opinion him. never been as favorable to teachers as it should be." he said. and continued by saying the teachers could remedy this by knowning their work and the needs of their pupils thoroughly. "In this way we can build up the prestige which is so important to our work if the teach- ing profession is to give the bcst service possible to the public." he , said. Charges of alleged inoilficient

and corrupt administration of a- division of the Provincial Depart- ment of industry and Natural Re- sources in connection with the op- eratlon ol the M.V. Eski-mo un- der a Crown corporation. will be

be appointed under the Public Inquiry Act.

Assurance to this effect was given in the Legislature yester-

day by Hon. W. E. Darby. At-

tion by Mr. D. L. Mathieson for an adjournment of the House to discuss the matter. The motion was accompanied by an affidavit

tain of the Eskimo. in which the alleged charges are contained. Mr. 'Mathieson's motion set forth that the affidavit was made under the Canada Evidence Act on March 26. 1951, by Leonard Ralph Herring. presently of Hali- fax. and formerly of Murray Hiv- er, ship's captain, "which solemn declaration is hereto attached. that he was employed for a period of 10 months or tlicreabouts in the year 1949 and 1950 as First Mate. and for the period of 20 days in 1950 as Master of the said M. V.l Eskimo. and that the said ship was operated by the staff of the said Shipping Service in an inefficient and negligent manner:

A resolution calling for organiz- ed labourers to make the "strongest. demand possible" on Civic and Provincial Governments to increase the hourly wage rate for casual in- bor was passed at. a mass meeting held last night at the Laboure:-5' Protective Union Hall. It was signed by representatives of the United Packing House Work- ers of America. the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees. the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Labour- ers Protectlve Union. The resolution was drawn up fol- lowing the meeting at which several speakers referred to the low wages paid by the city for casual and un- skilled labor. It. reads: "Whereas the coat of living is continuing to increase; "And whereas there has been lit- tle or no action on the part of em- ployers to increase wages to can- form with the cost of living; "And whereas the Provincial La- bor Law does not permit the organ- ization of employees In an industry which employs less than 15 mon: "Be it therefore resolved that we an organized labourers make the strongest demand possible to the Civic and Provincial Governments of Prince Edward Island to increase the pay of unskilled and casual

During this latter it was unanimously decided to retain the same scale of Fed- eration fees for the coming year. Miss Mona Wilson of the Depart- ment; of Public Health addressed the meeting briefly on the neces- sity of the immunization of child- FCII.

A decision to contact all ship- pers lnterested in the Newfcund- land trade for the purpose of forming their own Shipping Board to press fcr solution of their problems was taken last night at a sparsely attended pre- organizational meeting held in the Co-op Building here.

The meeting had been called to discuss problems encountered in shipping produce nnd livestock to

'Canada'a newest Province and the

small attendance was attributed to the condition of the roads which made it difficult for out-of-town men to be present.

Discusslcn of the matters bro- ught, up was opened by Mir. Wood- row Wheatley who stated it wu understsod that new freight rates would be put. into effect to New- fnuiidlund. He said nobody appar- ently knew what the boat rate: would be nor what ships can on- erate.

The Crown Corporation ship "Eskimo" encountered another heavy sea in the Legislature yeti- terday when the question whether the boat served a useful purpose or had turned out to be "a miserable failure" was debat- ed by Premier Jones and Mr. D. L. Mathlelon. 5th Queen's. dur- ing consideration of the Eati- matea for the Department of In- dustry and Natural Resources.

Mr. Mathieaon opened the argument by attacking the De- partment for it: lack of report: and information. He continued on the Eskimo question, Jtatlniz that "the Government's venture into Socialism was very badly handled" and went on to propose a remedy for the condition.

Premier Jone: Icorned the On- position for their lack of accur- ate information on the trade question. The Dominion Govern- ment has subsidized the ports of Halifax and Saint John and atol- en the trade from Charlottetown. he stiited. "The Opposition and
