Much of the increase rgwevcr was brought about by cold weather and s. shortage of refrigerator cars on the railway. Dept. of Agriculture crop estimates show ample sup- plies of potatoes in Canada, and many in tn" llfiustrv frcl that increased prices are in no way a result of wartime conditions and ll left alone the situation will soon adjust itself. Since reports of the impending ceiling price, thc situation is one of confusion. Shippers, not know- ing what may happen in the next few days have stopped buying and today tubers which on Friday were bringing $3 pcr barrel cannot be sold at any price. The Union of Agricultural socie- t.es of Madawiska, Victoria and Carleton counties mot at Grand Falls over the weekend and unani- mously passed the f0l10wlng resolu- tion which was despatched to Mr. Vlfiison, fruit and vegetable con- troller at Toronto: “Whereas the Wartime Prices and 'I‘rade Board is NCCHII’! to de- cide a ceiling price on potatoes.

'I'.he statement showed a surplus for the year of $9,359.00 over total expenditures, 'II:e total expenditures were $112,- 893.61, total revenue $122,252,151, Councillor Moliison in making nis Ielwrt said that he felt the pres- ent council had reason to be proud 0f achievement and thought it was well worthy of note that Stimmerside had t-he enviable rec- 0t'd oi having a. tax collection of 97.9 for ordinary assessment, 1nd a 100 percent collectim of special street as ts which is s. rec- ord any town might well be proud 0!. being better "had the federal governments get. in tax collections of 92.4 especially as the tax rate has not been raised. Councillor Moliison also stated that the council had decided no, to issue debentures to pay for this additional equipment at the elec- '.\'l(‘ i-(fif- plant WhlCh amounted P0 $40,000. It has been the gusbgm in the pastto issue debentures fur 15 Yea!‘ Dfiflod at approximately 4 Dfir cent. This year the council has deemed it wiser to borrow the money temporarily at 4 l-2 per. cent and pay it back out of ordin. ary revenue, which they feel they will be able to do in two years, thus effecting a tremendous saving in interest charges. Mayor Campbell congratulated Councillor Mollison and his com. mittee in being able to show such a. surplus and felt the citizens would appreciate the efforts of the c.oun_ oil in this matter. Councillor Mo]- lison replied that he was pleased to say that he had the full coop- eration of all members of the ccun. cil in keeping down expenses, Councillor Morrison, chairman of the light committee said, that the new machinery was giving every satisfaction and that the plant had Iiad a. successful year in spite of heavy expenditures. He fully flp- proved of the proposal of Council- lor Mollison to pay the $40,000 for new equipment at the plant uut of ordinary revenue, instead of issuing debentures. He was also pleased to announce that he would be uble to offer the citizens of Summer- side a substantial discount in their electric light bill this year. He knew that citizens had wanted this for a long time and it had always been the objective of ‘Jte council to do this ever since the town took over the light plant some years ago. One reason that it was not done was because the light rate had been used as a means of taxation, insttad of raising the taxes the light rate had been kept CHRONICLE Showing ~ GUARDIAN Makes IIEGLEGTIIIE A GOLD 0 year submitted at the some figure.

Apparently the rescuing vessel was not overly anxious to make contact with the lifclaoat and de- sired to be convinced of her iden- tity. Cluusen then used a flash- light to send a message in Morse and the rescue vessel stood by and picked them up. “We brought the lifeboat along- side and crawled up on rescue nets." The vessel later picked up Capt. F, E. Ezritchmer, master of the Jackson, who was floating and swimming and trying to support himself 0n a round board. He had been in the ivater six hours and had suffered an arm ifljilffl. tlon of reofferlng as a candidate for the west ward.

Mayor Campbell in a short ad- dress thanked the councillors for their cooperation and informed them that he intended to offer his services for another term. i-Ie felt that men in public positions of police services, outlined the dut- ies of the air raid wardens which included the following requisites: To be familiar with the organiza- tion and means of communicating rapidly with the units; to know the families in his sector; to atroi the streets in a blackout be .5111’: no light showed; to get everyone under cover; to report all fall of bombs seen; to report all fires; to report actual or suspected presence of gas; to render first aid to casu- alties and assistance to occupants of damaged or fire threatened buildings; to report the extent and nature of damage, particularly breaks in water mains. electric and telephone lines; to guide the police.
