Sllllfdly. August 19th was pro- claimed as North Novas Day in Charlottetown. Councillor J. D. Stewart stated that the North Novas had held reunions every year since the war in various Mari- time centres and asked the City residents to decorate their homes for the occasion.

Mr. Louis Montig-ny. of Belmont Street. asked the Council to pro- vide lighting facilities at the cor- nor of Belmont Street and Ken. singfon Road.

Conn. Cox's Report

Councillor C. M. Cox, in the Police Committee report urged the installation of more meters and traffic lights at Elm Avenue, Great George and Kent. and Grafton and Queen as a start provided the cost did not exceed 31.000. "We be. lieve that lights would be more efficient than our present system. and 200 meters will pay for both including upkeep over a period of three years.

"rho d-fteeu meters during the two months of operation have earned sis-(.80 or an average of 84.82 a month per meter which I understand is slightly above aver- age earnings.

"With regard to tunic on Mar- ket Street. we recommend that all traffic. from Market to Grafton turn right, no left hand turn. and that the curb on the north east corner be at back. in order to prevent interference with Grafton Street waffle.

"I was much interested in a newspaper report of an address to the Rotary Club by Mr. Allan Stewart. City Clerk and Solicitor of the City of Owen Sound. speak- ing from practical experience in his adopted city. Mr. Stewart strongly recommended both met- ers and traffic lights for Char- lottetown. After reading this re- port I got in touch with Mr. Stew- art by telephone. and he very kindly agreed to meet with our committee on Friday morning. Be- lieving that all members of the City Council might be interested in meeting Mr. Stewart, the invi- tation was extended to all who were able to attend. Friday morn- ing is buay and the notice was short but we had a very good re- presentative ttendance.

"Mr. Stewart told us meters and lights were doing a good job for them. and he believed they would here also. To the best of his knowledge the cost of lights did not exceed Q0000 per intersection. but when shown the quotations we had he thought there must be some mistake and he sent a wire to his deputy for hill information.

"The population of Owen Sound is 17.000. They have 300 meters. 73 of which were installed this year. They paid for ANTCHIIQIVEU in dftoen months. All are one make. the same as our dftaen."

Coun. Stewart Presents

Street Neport

"Your Street Committee has completed quite an extensive pro- gram of parking areas during the last month," reported Councilltr J. D. Stewart. Chairman of the Street Committee in his report to the City Council last night.

"Both sides of Queen. and both sides of Great George from Graf- ton to Eusicn are now paved. Also the east aid of Great George Street from dney to'Riiclimond; both sides of Grafton from Queen to Pownal. the north side of Kent from Queen to Pownal, and in front of the Y.M.C.A. This.I would say, mpletes the parking area for I950 unless otherwise deterrn- ined.

"A sidewalk program has also been carried on The sidewalk on both sides of Greenfield Avenue has been laid where stipulated. Also on Ambrose Street. Some new sidewalk yet remains to be laid, and this will be done when we start operations after the Old Home Week.

"Much replacement work has also been done. particularly in front of Mr. Barbour'e on Euston Street, and in front of the Y. M. C. A. on Prince Street. Other side- walks have been raised where necessary.

"Street Sweepers have been kept very busy and it is most gratifying to hear the remarks of many of the tourists on the clean- liness of our City-

"Through the Government. we were able to obtain a scarltler and grader, and this enabled us to rip up Kent Street, Grafton Street. Edward Street. Cumberland Street and Upper Queen Street. These streets have recently been graded and rolled and an aipplli-'31i0!1 Of chloride has been placed on them. which has put them in a very sat- isfactory condition for Old Home Week. .

"Other clay streets have been graded where it was found pos- sible, after a rain storm, to use the machine. '

"The need of a roller is becom- ing more and more urgent each day. and I have a resolution to present at the end of the meetinif l-n this regard.
