The commission of five, com- posed of three permanent officials and two to beappointed by the Provincial _Govern- mentttwill not sit on the aldermanic boaizd, as originally proposed. _But the cominis- sioners will not be required to go to the council for approval, except in certain not very important cases. And their recom--' mendations can be defeated`_only by a three fourths vote. If the council _does not act within thirty days the commissioners re- ports will be automatically adopted: The commission will send to the council only the a"h`ii'ual' budget, the supplementary bud- get, reports for the diversion of funds, ap-, propriation of loans, taxes. and license matters, bylaws, except those relating to municipal employes, and matters of annex- ations and franchises and pilivileges. The <;ommissionei's 'are' practicalty ap- pointed for life. Two of the permanent heads are to be discharged only by a two- ‘thirds vote of Council approved by_ the Pro- vincial Government»,__an_d the third stays until dismissed by the _Lieutenant-Goverm or-in-Council. The chairman is toreceive $10,000 salary, and- the others $7,500.

There must be readjustment between producers and non-producers if the present dangerous .situation is to be relieved The Canadian farmer today is doing his utmost. Even the inducement of 'higher prices -would not result in much greater production because greater production is-for him a physical im- possibility under present conditions of labor mustnow do their part. The need of food is indeed grave andnow is the time when plans must be made for the coming season. Every back yard should be used for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables. Sub- urban areas should be utilized for food pro-I tduction. Much could be_done_by individu- al households if people only realize the des- perate seriousness ofthe s`ituation_and the, fact that every ounce of food is a necessaryl and important contribution in the fight ag- ,ainst defeat. Hundreds of thousands of _ ‘ men and women. boys and girls, could spare _a short time each dav to cultivate a garden _ [and thus to grow food which would release the Plfesehll City 3tt01°hey aeeellfs the P051' f other food commodities for shipment over- tion 'Elf "chairman he is to receive a salary seas.
