JERUSALEM. July 2i —(AP)- British authorities placed 90.000 Jews in most parts of Jerusalem under dusk to dawn house arrest today as a new wave of terror gripped the Holy Land.

The night. began with a new outbreak of violence when a Jeep was blasted from the highway at Haifa. Three British soldiers and a Jewish interpreter were injur- ed seriously. The Jeep was carry- ing n loudspeaker system announ- cing curfew instructions to resi- dents.

With a quarter of its Jewish population under 10-hour nightly curfew—in Haifa. Jerusalem and Nsthenya-the Holy Lend was more tense than in many months.

One of the latest incidents was the attempted sabotage of the Iraq Petroleum Company's pipe- line near Haifa on the historic plain of lhdrseion. Only sparse de- tails were availlble, but a Gov-

Decision to press for an unequi- vocal answer from the chairman of the City Water Commissioners to the City Council's written request of July i7 that information be furnished it respectinz the recent breakdown in the City's water supply was unanimously expressed at a special meeting of the City Council last night.

Earle MacDonald opened the meeting bv reading a letter. dated July I0. which the City Clerk had received from Mr. J. A. Webster, chairman of the commissioners of sewers and water supply (This letter and oth- er relevant correspondence on the question appears elsewhere in this issue.)

City Councillor W. R, LePage said he considered the letter a "girect insult to the City Coun- c _..

Coun. P‘, C Dougan-"The way I look at it, gentlemen. is that we are elected by the people of Char- lottetown to run their civic busi- ness. It. seems to me, therefore. that since we are responsible to them for all that takes place in the City affecting their welfare, that we should have a clear-cut, definite statement on this water question from the Water Commis- sioners."

Coun. J. D Stewart: "I agree heartily with Coun. Dougsn's re- rnar ."

Coun. J. G. MacDonald: "I _cer- tainly do also. The citizens are entitled to know just what. caused the recent breakdown and also to have some reassurance that such occurrences do not occur again if their avoidance is physically pos- sible."
