city Trees

Continued from page 1. tained.

It is planned to cut down only those trees which are definitely known to be dead. To this end Mr. Claudct will use an increment borer, which leaves no soar, to da- termine from his examination of the tree heart whether or not it is dead, However. during this win- ter nnly trees which are felt to be a menace to life and property will be dealt with.

On is long suggested long-range plan the committee feel that Where a tree is removed another should be planted to replace it and this will be one of the projects it will pursue.

However, property Swners are re-awured by the knowledge that no trees on private property will he touched without die, consent of the owner. But it is hoped that all citizens will give the fullest. co- operation. If any should feel that the crews on duty are not being fair they have only to call the chairman of the committee who will personally visit them and endeavour to explain what is be- ing attempted. The new venture is, in essence, a part of community planning. i

Heavy Annual Damage

The two main service companies involved have found through the years that the annual damage to each has run into several thous- ands of dollars in equipment. and much more than that in incon- venience and annoyance to the users of their services, It is for this reason that they are contribut- ing without charge the services of their crews trained in " and trimming trees.

The committee has emphasized that no attempt will be made to go against the wishes of property owners in the matter of either cut- ting or trimming trees, but they hope that for their own benefit all will co-operate in the work that is necessary. Members pointed out that there was considerable dan- ger from trees which should be cut down and stated that during a heavy storm they might be blown in such a manor as to either sari- ousiy damage pedestrians or smash

Review of Weather Bureau Slalislics

January, 193, showed the low- est deliy temperature ever record- ed in the 44 year history of the weather bureau at Charlottetown Experimental Station when the thermometer dropped to 23 be- low. This was followed closely by February in the years 1014. 1922 and 1&4 when the low was 11 degrees below zero. The highest daily temperature ever marked up here was 98 in 1953 during Aug- ust.

The warmest was July, 1947 temperature was This was closely approached by the 70.3 degrees of August 1937. The coldest month was February. 1921 when the average during the entire month was only 6.7 degrees. Not far behind was January, 1920 with 8.1 degrees.

It is of note than last Januaiy with a mean temperature of 257 degrees set a new high record.

Over the same 44 year period the month of May 1920 had the greatest amount of sunshine with 312.4 hours compared to the low mark set by December 1950 when there were only 27.9 hours. July. 1937 "was another sunny month with Old Sol beaming for 306.8 hours.

Nearly everyone is interested in precipitation, the amount of snow and rain which falls. September 1942 was the wettest month on record with 12.40 inches of rain- fall. The next closest was Oct- ober 1939 with 8.85 inches. By comparison the driest month was May 1911 when there was only .32 inches of moisture.

Other dry months included Feb- ruary 1923 with only .55 inches, but that was also the coldest month on record.

There were 54.56 inches of pre- cipitation fell in 1941, the heav- iest yearly amcunt on record. The driest year was 1911 when only 31.8 inches was marked. The formula for converting snow to rain for precipitation determin- ing purposes is that 10 inches of snow equals one inch of rain.

Bomo day this week something definite will be known about the stantinig date for the construction of the new T. Eaton building on Kent -Street. The work will take quite a few men off the unernploy- ed list in Charlottetown, and the job will last for some months. Un- less the weather makes working conditions lmrpoasibie, it seems to be. the intention of the company to go ahead with the project without de- lay. it is understood that residents of Charlottetown will be given preference when the work crew is hired.

Charlie, however. has been troubled a bit with rheusriatiani this winter and has not been able to attend any of the games. But although in his own words he is ”shutting the door on eighty-one he plans to show up at the Forum before the hockey schedule runs out. Few people who are not ac- quanted with him would guess iihat lie is "closing the door on eighty- one."

It looks very much as though the Fish and Game Aasociationancl all those intent on observing the fish and game roguia.-tione of the Province are fighting a. losing bat- tle. Refporits from many parts of the Island make it all too plain that jigging, netting and spearing of trout, and the out of season shoot- ing of game is common. it makes the problem of enforcement no ee.s- ier when so many people are un- concerned about these infractions of the low. and as often as not turn a blind eye on the guilty.

The onganization of e. Trades and Labor Council in this city a few days ago L5 in step with the times. A gentleman who has had mucii to do with labor. Mr. Ben- jamin Fairiesa, chairman of the Board of United States Steel made this observation is short time ago: "To live better we must produce more. but production is the result of team work. not of conflict... We shall achieve our fullest meas- ure of production. only when we begin to understancl that the in- terests of worker and owner are not ant-agnostic but identical-that un- der our American system of com- potltive enterprise it is impossible over a period of time for one to prosper while the other suf-fers.
