With the extraordinary increase in production, and because butter is mwinf; so slowly from the Prov- ince, storage of the surplus is be- coming an increasing problem. At present. some 5.000 (56 lb.) boxes have been tendered io the Dairy Products Board. It is hoped that the storage problem will be re~ iicvcd within a few days.

There were numerous complaints received by the Council concern- ing the blowing ofdust from sand patches on Connaught Square on children. and the presence of men drinking lotions and using ob- scene language in front of the children. It was thought impos- sible by lho Council for water carts to keep these sand patches dampened, and difficult for the police f0 chase the “Shakos" oil‘ the Squares unless they are caught‘ open handed.

A complaint regarding black smoke and soot emitting from a dry cleaning establishment and entering nearby business institut- ions and homes was referred to the City Engineer.

Resolutions brought before the Council included the laying of concrete sidewalks on Brighton Avenue from Spring Park, Road i0 Ambrose Street. on Villa Street from Ambrose St. to Spring Park Road; on the north side of Kent St. between Edward and Fitzroy Streets. and the laying of a park- ing area in front of Sterns’ Laun- dry on Hillsboro and Kent Streets.

Reports 0n Conference

Mayor MacDonald reported on the recent Mayors‘ Conference in Quebec on civic affairs, as it af- fects all cities in Canada. In re- ferring lo traffic problems he said it was estimated that a speed-up by the motorists in Montreal would save time and money for the City. He added that a speed- up of the motorists who drive 10 and 15 m.p.h. in Charlottetown would cut down on accidents and delay: in traffic. ‘ ‘

In concluding his report the Mayor said: "In our travels to and from Quebec. we have not seen a city or town as well look- cd after in any way as our own. We met Mayors and Councillors from Victoria to Newfoundland. We heard the Prime Minister speak. and the Premier of Que- bec. We know it costs a City which sponsors the Federation a- bout $5,000. We had sweet peas on our table. flown from Victoria as a goodwill gesture by that City. We met many Mayor: and Aldermen from the U. S. A. and took advantage of sending them- our Island literature through the Travel Bureau here.

"There was a special program each day for the women. It was decided to have a full time rep- resentation of the Federation clos- er to Ottawa than at present. At present our head office is in Montreal because the Executive Director is a paid employee of that City.

"It is a kn wn fact that the cities of Cana a need a sound and constructive national polcy and program and this can be present- ed to the Government so that it will be sympathetically understood and in time will receive the pro» per legislation to receive our share of the remuneration."
