Lrhe report, part of a resume of the committee’s 1957 activities, renewed the charge that Norman was a member of a Communist study group in the United States in the late 1930s——a charge which the Canadidn government said in 1951. and again last year, had proved false.
A subsequent Canadian govern- ment statement, made after Nor- man’s death, said he had “asso- ciated quite openly” in the 1930s as a student with Communists or persons “who appeared‘ to be- have like Communists.”

The report of this committee, presented by Leo F. MacDonald showed beyond any shadow of doubt -that a great deal of time, intense study, and much hard work went into its make-up. Af-

Small Docket In Police Court‘
An uncommonly small docket has been facing" Magistrate K. M. Martin in City Police Couir-t
each morning during the past week. During the five day period
only 10 men have appeared in court, nearly all on the ever pres ert charge of drunk and meat? able.
The Friday morning docket was the la-rgest of the week when four men faced the Magistrate, all on drunk and incapable char- ges.
Three of the charges drew 20 day sentences in the Queens County Jail. They were meted out to a 45-year-old King street man, a 58-year old Weymouth street man and a .53-year-old resident of Dorchester street.
A 56-year old Hillsboro Street man was fined $5 and costs or two lays in the same charge:
An Open Letter To Th
Water 23: Sew
e Electors of Charlottetown
Re A O O erage Plebiscite:
At the recent Session of our Provincial Legislature, upon the request of your City Coun-
cil, legislation was obtained for the transfer of control over Water and Sewerage in our City from the Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply to the City Council provided that such a move first obtained the majority approval of our citizens in a Plebiscite to be conducted for such purpose.
That Plebiscite has now been set down forWednesday, May 21st, 1958, between the hours of 9 A.M. and 6 P.M. C
Naturally many citizens are asking what has prompted such action by your City Council!
Among the many reasons for such a change, the following are the more obvious:
1. While in the beginning it may have been necessary to have a separate Commission for the administration of our water and sewerage systems, yet your Council is convinced that to- day water and sewerage, as do such other Municipal Services as Streets, Police, Fire, etc., should fall under the jurisdiction of your. chief Municipal Administrative Body———The City Council—,
mission administering Water
and that there is no real need further for such a separate Commission.
2. The separate "Water and Sewerage Acts under which the Commission operates cer- tainly envisaged a close co-operation between the Commission.-and your City Council, but unfor- tunately for many years past such has not been the case.
3. Many centres in Canada, as Moncton, N.B., and Summerside in our own Province have had to take similar action in recent years to abolish their separate Commissions and transfer control of Water and Sewerage to their respective City or Town Councils in order to solve just the same type of problems confronting Charlotte town today
3. It will be appreciated by our citizens that even though we have such a separate Com- and Sewerage, nevertheless even now all capital expenditures of that Commission automatically become ‘the’ financial responsibility of your City Council and therefore your Council has to pay. all interest and sinking fund requirements for such capital,ex- penditures while having no say whatsoever in the planning of the same.
4. Your Council feels that the growth and development of our City has been seriously retarded by the failure of the separate Commission of Sewers and Water Supply to forsee and
l
meet the ever growing expansion of our City and provide the necessary facilities so essential to such Civic development. This is graphically illustrated in the continued loss of tax revenue an- nually on various proposed Sub-Divisions in the northwest section of our City. For example take the Toombs Sub-Division of Twenty-Four acres west of Goodwill Avenue which, while the owner has constantly begged without any success for these services to be provided by that Commission for eight years past, has remained undeveloped, while on the other hand our citizens have been forced to build out in Spring Park and Parkdale for lack of building lots in the City. That 24 acres constitutes well over 100 choice building lots with a minimum value of easily $1500.00 each. While today the City’s assessment of this undeveloped and unserviced land amounts to a mere $5100.00,
‘ yet if these essential services had been provided by the Commissioners when first asked for and
the area built up as we feelcertain it would have been with homes of an approximate value of $12,000.00 each, then that would have produced a City assessment on this area of something like $900,000.00 rather than ‘our $5100.00 indicating a tax revenue loss to the city for such past 8 years on this land alone of $198,000.00. And the -Toombs land is- just one of many potential De- velopments within the City in that Area. But can you expect potential builders to buy lots in an area which presently has no such essential services, and where there seems no intention on the part of the Commission year afteryear to provide such services.
I -.
5. Apart from such NEW developments altogether, your City Council feels that when 103 years after our? Incorporation as a City we'still have numerous Built-Up areas such as Park Street, Belmont Street, Upper-Queen Street, Etc., annually paying their share of City taxes, but at the same time annually crying in vain for these essential services, and being annually denied them by the Commission of Sewers and Water‘ Supply, then It’s Time for a Change. Indeed if for no other reason than that today these areas through no fa:'1lt,of theirown constitute a serious health menace to all. Outside privies may have had a place 100 years ago—maybe even 50 years ago—But your City Fathers feel that IT’S a DISGRACE to all of us that we still have to have numerous of them still within our City because the Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply refuse year after year to provide facilities in these areas. ‘
6. If our separate Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply have not seen fit to com- plete installation of these essential services within our City proper, how on earth can it hope to cope with the immediate and major task of installation of the same ,in the former village of Spring Park—-now Ward 6 of our City——within the 2 year time limit set forth in the By-Law under which Amalgamation between the City and Spring Park took place. ’
7. On the other hand it was-your City Council which had to engage and pay for The Crandall Survey which became the basis of such Amalgamation, and it was your City "Council which provided -the Leadership which eventually brought Amalgamation to come to pass. The Metropoli- tan Committee worked for over 2 years on this Problem, had representation from, and at all times the interest of your City Council, The Charlottetown Board of Trade, the Villages of Parkdale and Spring Park, as well as the,Provincial‘Director of Town Planning, but at all times the Com- missioners of Sewers and Water Supply were conspicuous by their absence and general lack of in- terest. -
8. The loss of the Market building released one,Councillor from active special duties, and with two new Councillors coming in to represent Ward Six, your Council has available its choice of 10 Elected Councillors from which to set up its proposed Water and Sewerage Committee.
9. It would appear as well that with the abolition of a separate Commission and with admin- istration of water and sewerage placed in the City Council that administrative costs could be great- ly reduced and many economies effected.
10. In the planning, laying and surfacing of new streets and sidewalks, which entails prior provision for water and sewerage mains, one can a ppreciate how ‘much more ef iciently and ex- peditiously this can be done under the one Administrative body.
11. Your City Council is cognizant as well of an apparent lack of interest on the part of our
‘citizens generally in this whole subject of water and sewerage as evidenced by the increasing diffi-
culty of obtaining qualified candidates at Election Time to offer as such Commissioners. It is obvious too that such a lackadaisical attitude on the part of our citizens in such elections is in turn reflected by a similar lackadaisical attitude by such Commissioners following their election to the many essential and vital problems in these fields confronting our Community today. ’
FELLOW ClTlZENS—The forthcoming Plebiscite affords you an opportunity to rectify this situation and your support is hereby solicited.
