The application will come before the mid-April meeting of the Board of Governors of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. If a license is granted at that time. CFCY television operations will get underway during the month Dr. Frank Macliinnun. Princi- pal of Prince of Wales College. was guest speaker at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotaryl 'Club. held at the Chiirlottetounl Hotel yesterday. presided oi er by N. D. MacLean and Arthur Mould jointly. Guests present were Hon. E. P. Foley. M.L.A.. of the Sum- merside club and Mr. Dennis in- wood of Montreal. In the course of his address Dr. Macliinnon said: The purpose of the centennial is not merely to hold a celebration. but also to remind us that oui' time is only one chapter in the cityis history. that we have in- herited the city from those who went before, and that it is our duty to pass it on improved and strengthened to prosperity. Charlottetown was simply woods and a few houses in l764 when it was selected as the colony's cap- ital by Captain Samuel Holland. Every inhabitant was a farmer in the earliest days for there were no stores and little trade and people had to grow their own food. The streets were laid out so as to give ample room for fields lRotarians Hear Excerpts. From Ch'town's History of October. depending on con- struction and manufacturers de- livery schedules.

He stated as a person couldn't tell what the Board had in mind and they might go ahead and spend money building extensions or repairing existing buildings. Councillor G. F. Hutchesnn thought the letter was good en- ough as it stood. On motion Coun- cillors Johnstone, Rogers and Hutcheson voted for the letter while Councillors Gaudet. Germ- ley and Maccormac voted a- issue by breaking the deadlock on voting that the letter be sent as it was written. WATER FLUORIDATION Letters from the Queen Square. Prince Street and Queen Char- lotte Home and School Associa- and gardens and they wore all called after royalty and British! officials. Life was hard. there were fen" ,houses and food was scarce until the land was cleared. What littlc money was sent out from England was used for salaries of officials and there were few funds for pub- lic purposes. If officials ran over their budgets in those days they had to make up the deficit out of their own pockets. There was, however. a tavern and most pub- II(' meetings. including the first sessions of the legislature met in Buildings were constructed as the supply of money. material and labour increased, and roads were built to the rural areas as agri- culture and trade developed. The city developed with the provincc, in fact one of the basic economic principles of the city is that it grew exactly with the develop- ment of the province. Constitutional problems arosei from the fact that the island was a small colony administered by a large system of government. The development of responsible gov- ernment took many years of dif- ficult and hard work. It was com- pliciited by the fact that most of the land was owned by absentee landlords in England. The growth of the colony was much influenced by the newspap- ers. The first was the Royal Com- mercial Gazette and lntelligencer founded in I787. The second was tions were submitted to the Coun- jcil requesting the fluoridation of 'tlic water supply as soon as pos- siblc. Councillor Hulchcson spoke in favor of the undertaking and stai- cd it was quite inexpensive at . cents per head per annum. Councillor Gaudet suggested that the matter be left alone until the people knew what it was all about. He stated he he was at one Home and School Association meeting at which there were 200 people present and no members of the Association spoke either for or against. He stated the group was high pres- ment by one or two individuals from outside. Mayor Stewart thought the mai- ler should be shelved for a time; and he asked the City Clerk to write the water commissioners; for information about the cost of installation and operation. The question of whether or not a certain house in the City was fit for habitation was brought be- fore the Council in the Health Officers report and was discuss- ed at some length. The report stated that the question was a difficult one to decide but noted there were nine dogs and horse living was owned by a woman. Coun- cillor MacCormi-ir stated the place was a definite fire hazard as well as a health problem. Reports were presented by the the Royal Gazette and Miscellany of the Island of St. John. estab- lished in 1791. There were 27 others before the modern papers. the Examiner. Patriot and Guard- Ian. They all played an important role in the fostering of the social. economic and political life of the community. By the time of incorporation Charlottetown was a town of wooden houses and stores heated by coal and wood fires and light- ed by tallow candles and by gas. There was outdoor ' " , stables, woodsheds and r kitchens. The streets were dusty in summer. snowbnund in winter and muddy in spring and fall, and there were no improved side- walks. Parking problems consist- ed of looking after the horse at hitching posts or in wagon sheds --a loud deal more inconvenient than the parking spaces and met- ers of today. Water was secured at the town pump which also served as a meeting place for the exchange of town gossip. News and advertising were spread by John Hatch. the town crier who walked up and down calling out the items of the day. Social life was full and varied. There were numerous picnics at Kensipgton Pasture. now the as- hibition grounds. Lectures. dances. skating parties and box socisls were common and suppers and dinners in those days were "sumptuous repeats" of many courses. There was a very active i ' life with operas, a sym- phony orchestrs and several bends. Before kieorporatton lie bigger public projects were carried out by the legislature. Other projects like manning the fire brigade. lighting street lamps and keeping the streets clear were handled by the citizens Iiemselves. The Ill;gf5Jl'P0I'lIO Act was passed in It is one thing to incorporate a city but it is another to max; in administration work. Early coun- cils hadgs hard time but experi- ence brouzm knowledge and civic business was developed gndugi. IV.

Ma- yor Stewart and Councillor Mac- Cormac disagreed over the re- pair of a snow removal machine. Mayor Stewart maintained that Councillor MacCormac should have called a special meeting of the Street committee members to discuss the matter. He also said that Councillor MacCormac had called only one meeting of the Street Committee and this sidtuation would have to be chang- e .
