Motion carried. in connection with Section 2 of the bill._ making it unnecessary to cell a by-election to fill a vacancy occurring within six months before a general election. unless so ordered by a Supreme Court Judge under proceedings instituted by any qualified voter. the promoter said that in the last few years emergencies of this kind had arisen. due to deaths in the Council. sndihere had been a good deal of criticism because by- electlons had not been held. The section carried without further comment.

The section carried. ' Section 4 cf,the bill. which car- ried without discunlon, authorizes the City to close off the eastern portions of Richmond and Syd- ney streeis. as each portion ap- proaches the railway right of way. but only with the consent of the owners of lands abutting on such portions. or otherwise to divert the portions to the advantage of the industries in the locality. superensaiistion lfunrl Section 5 empowers the City Council to maintain. administer and implement in any manner deemed expe,d.ienIt a general sup- erannuation schem to provide reasonable allowances upon and after necessary retirement of per- manent employees of the City and benefits for dependents oi any such employees who may die en- titled to such allowance. and to use and apply the funds of the City therefor and to enforce con- tribution thereto by such em- ployees. This section shali be held to ratify and approve anything “properly done in the premises but before the enactment hereof." it was also stipulated that upon request and at the cost of the City. the Provincial Auditor should from time to time make a suf- ficient audit of all funds. entries and matters pertaining to the su- per nnuatlon scheme. r. Hughes objected to the lat- ter provision. which hs under- stood had also been "slipped into" the Sewers and Water Comrii'is- sioners Act. He did not think it should be me responsibility of the Provincial Auditor even to make recommendations in matters of this kind. Attorney General W. E. Darby agreed with Mr. Hughes.‘ At his suggestion the clause was amend- ed to provide thet the City shall from time to time direct “sn ef- ficient audit" of all the funds. etc.. of the scheme. Dundas Esplanade 0 it The following additional sec- tion to the bill was moved by Hon. Dr. Machdillanz “The street or thoroughfare known as Dundas Esplanade con- necting the western terminus of Water Street. being no longer in public use. shall hereafter be closed to traffic and shall cease to be a street or thoroughfare ex- cept for daytime pedestrian tref- flc. provided that this section shall not be taken to authorize erections it now prohibited, between the western side of said Dundee Es- planade and the waterfront." In explaining the purpose of the section the promoter said the thoroughfare had become a nuis- ance at night because of. care be- ing parked there, of be: bottles being left around and other un- desirable activities. He read the following resolution which had been passed by the City Council at is special meeting on March 22: "Resolved. that the City Coun- cil as a whole has no objection to legislation closing Dundee Es- planade as a thoroughfare other than to daytime pedestrian use. provided that the City Hospital grant is widening of Sydney Street of 10 feet from Hav-iland to Dun- das Eqilsnsde and 30 feet or as determined by the City engineer from there to the water. and that provision be made to prohibit all erections other than ordinary fences in the area between Dun- das and the water." Dr. MaoMillan stated that these proposals .were quite acceptable to the City Hospital authorities. it is propos “ to landscape this area for the use of the hospital patients. The Department of Ve- terans Atfaira have authority to place up to fifty rooms in the hospital. and at present there are at least thirty veterans in the in- stitution. it is intended to make lye surroundings such as will help patients to recuperate. "We are quite satisfied that it shall not be closed to pedestrians. but we don't want_ the traffic there because it is a perfect nuisance." Dr. Maclillllen said. ‘'1 would not urge this if i did not think it was for the public good as well as for the good of the many patients we have in the hoqsital.” ‘ Mr. . 1". A. Stewart, lat Queen's. said he had spent most of his boyhood years in this area .and he was very much in fever of the bill. Mr. Metlsieaoifa sins After some fu tlier diseumien Mr. D. L.

The following are the members elected to the house commltta —— Bill Smith. Lorne Mehar. Martin Egan; Sergeant At Arms, Thomas Bell; Guide. Frank Byers. During the meeting a report was given by the Building Com- mittee In which it was stated that work on the new Memorial Hall has been completed and that some 82,400 was expended on labor and that the approximate cost of the entire project ‘see estimated at 510.000. and it was felt that the labor used. coming in the winter as It did. was a great help to those employed. The Financial Report also show- ed the Union in a very sound position. and during the course of the meeting. the retiring executive were complimented on their flee work during the past year. soonlgli_rAllvlrli (Continued from Page 1) to pasture feeding in the spring. Spring and early grass. he not- ed. were the best for cattle. The hcsvy eating cow with the big wide muzzle was the best milk producer. he stated. I-le feeds no grain during the sum.n-ier and starts with a small amount around the end of September. Recognized as an authority on modern farming methods, Mr. Mecliie is conducting a speaking tour of Ontario. allebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward island in addition to operating 1000 acres of farmland he runs a retail milk business in Aberdeen. Ha cuts the grass for silage when it is between six and nine inches high. in storing it. he re- lies upon a natural fermentation process which requires a high tem- perature. He advised that it be trsmped well so that no air poc- kets exist and should be sealed down when the silo is filled. He is now keeping poultry. part- ly to find out whether or not they enrich the grass lands. After put- ting them out. on the range in small houses which are moveabla. he has found that they do irri- prove his land. He has all his land analyzed and stated that most. soil in Scotland needed a lot. of lime and phosphate. He uses manure. knows how much fertilizer is to be used for each crop and how much food he intends to take away from the crof. Today in Britain, he stated there were 1,110,000 on the land Agriculture production has in- creased by 38 per cent. since be- fore the war and it is hoped to be raised to 50 per cent in 1952. He noted that he had cut down on the staking acreage per cow during a. season. He now grazes each cow on a half acre of grass where one and one eighth acres were formerly required. At the same time he has increased the grazing period from five to six months. Referring to the high ylelds.of grains he pointed out that he uses only between three and three and one half pounds of seed per acre. In‘ 1935 ha sowed eight pounds but has the ‘ this amount by various means during the past fif- teen years. Answers Question in reply to a question by Pro- fessor Frank MacMillen of P. W. C. he stated that crops were sub- sidized in Britain. These subsidies. he pointed out, were given as low price limits had been set during the war on agricultural products which still exist so that the con- sumers prices might be kept low. These subsidies deérease as ti-.5 acreage increases and act ss_en- eouragcment to the men who has no equipment or little farming opportunity but wishes to Slow food in small amounts. He is a member of the Scottish Farmers Union of which his father is a past president. This union he pointed out was highly organized and each farmer knows what price he 1 get for his products and wire his- operating costs are one year ahead. Premier Jones Premier Jonas outlined the ad- vantages of feeding grass silage in this province. He advised the stor- ing of silage early in the summer and again later on. This silage was of perticiler value durins the month of Aiiluot. he stated. when the milk production is nomieliy ow. He also stressed the importance of see food. which he stated was the perfect food as it contained every mineral.

The section passed without fur- as-uni’ \ Island Odds And Ends It is not widely known that the Civil Aviation Branch of the Do- minion Department of sranapoi. operates the Charlottetown Airport just as it controls and operates every airport in Canada. with the exception of a few which are mull- icipally owned. The local port functions as a public utility in the same manner as the light and pow- er companies, the railroad or the telegraph companies. The Charlottetown port has ten- ants, and the principal of these is Maritime Central Airways which pays rental and other charges laid down by the Department of Trans- port. Every take-off and every lending costs the company a spec- ified sum of money. W.G. Gillespie is the manager of ‘the Civil Aviation Branch of Transport Department in Chur- lottetown, and it is his responsib- ility to see that the run-ways are in condition to take off from and land on at all times. This means that is snow fighting crew must be ready throughout the winter to clear the snow from the run-ways and other staff members must Coll- stently check the run-way and ob- struction lights to keep the port serviceable. some of the obstruction lights are on Union Road well cast of the landirig area. 0 O 0 Equipment of the most advan- ced type is used in clearing the field during winter. This includes two “blowers" plows and several of the ordinary pusher type. buil- dozers and other snow fighting aids. All landings and take-offs are recorded. irrespective of whether the plane is privately owned, a mil- itary plane or one operated by a Company. The time of arrival or take-off is noted. the number of passengers, the amount of cargo, the town or city from which the plane flew, and the city or town it is headed for. when it leaves the local field. Landing charges are based on the weight of the aircraft. Storage charges are based on wing span. and depending on whether the machine is stored in e “ or outside. 0 O O A staff of radio operators. who are also meteorologists, under the direction of Mr. G.B. Champion, carry out the very essential tasks without which present day flyini; activities are impossible. one of the duties of these men is to service the radio beam station which is located about three miles from the port. The station is entirely auto- matic but must be checked each week to guard against unforeseen mishaps. Planes headed for Charlottetown can pick up the beam many miles out and ride it right into Char- lottetown. some of course pick up the local radio station and is need- le indicator guides them to the city without any trouble whatso- ever. . , , The radio people must be met- eorologists, because it is part of their job to forward weather re- ports every half-hour to the chief meteorologist station on the Mai‘- itimss. at Halifax. They also re- ceive weather reports on flying conditions from Halifax covering any given port of Canada. An array of gadgets to take the wind veloc- ity, measure precipitation of snow or rain. the humidity and other weather data is used by the met- eorologist. There is nothing hit or miss about the information trans- mitted to Halifax; No plane can leave on a joumry without prior authority from the Moncton nerve centre. and all in- structions are recorded on s dictu- greph. These instructions may 33*- forth that is pilot leaving Char- lottetown will fly for Montreal at 6.000 as far as Moncton. and the remainder of the trip at 10.000. If so the pilot follows his instructions to the letter. By so doing he knows that he has a safe air-lane. 3 right-of-way in the sky. should his radio apparatus fall he ke6lJS to N5 original planned altitudes. When he nears his destination, the Monctoii control releases the craft to the control tower of the all'P0“" where a. landing is to be made. Chief business of the radio men naturally is to keep contact with the many planes which wing nvrr the area each day, many of them flying very high, some cnroute to Gender or Europe. others inward bound from Europe. The public ac- cording to men who work at the elrport, have no idea at all of the number of planes which fly over or in the vicinity of the Island every day. The radio people help these craft to check their ,ositions. and of course can act as a control tower for machines which wish to land in cherlotte.tm.vn. I All machines in the air from Montreal to England am under dir- ection oi Moncton Airways traffic control. This control centre keep! table on every plane dn flight in the area of it's jurisdiction.
