"Do you mind, Ellen, when we had the old mare?" James will say of a night when in the smoke wreaths he uncovers past scenes of tender memory. The old mare coming to the small lads in the pasture; at the scuffilng on a Sum- mer day——with ours astrldc; at the stumping in leafy dells-"mtiny a day in that vcry field where w» bod the potatoes"; to town with bless- ed loads of pork over rough froz- en roads or across the ice '.n Win- tcr and then to Church on the Sab- bath. So many delightful things James is abic to recollect vciirn "the-oid mare" that long "curs ago was ours, walks or trots faith- fully through past memories. It was a young mare that brouiziii an evening load of wood to ir\ yard, James sitting on top. Tl».- snow an the slopes where Suri- mcr herds grazed held golden paths that led to the sunset then. The smallest puff of a breeze stirred the birch twigs and later the echo came back from James’ call to the calves down at the water- ing ‘place.

New Water The following excerpts are from the report of the Commissioners of Sewers and ‘Nutter Su [Tply (Messrs. J. A. Webster, G. D. Wright and W. D. Gillis) submit- ted at last night's annual meeting of the City Council: “Extensions made during the year were as follows-On High- land Avenue 1'10 feet of 6 inch cast iron water main, anti 170 feet of 6 inch sewer main were laid. On Belmont Street 06 feet of 6 inch cast. iron water main atiil 7 Ieet of 6 inch sewer main. “One ti inch main gate was in- and Highland Avenues. One man- boio was installed on Aznbrosc Street. "Thirty-three ncw water servic- es were laid and forty-seven buildings. twenty-three of which were clcl premises, were connected to the sewerage system. "At the close of the ycar iiiere were 3,228 homes supplied with water service; 2,935 of which are connected to the sewerage system. Water was also supplied to 343 storcs, offices, etc. 37 cottages at Brighton Shore were supplied with ivaioi- during the sumnqer r. son. Bcridos the foregoing there z c- mctcrcd services cohnected to the water system. Sewerage Connection "In our reports each year it has been our citstom to furnish the total number of domestic estab- lishments receiving service-that is, a self contained house is class- ed as one unit and an apartment house containing accommodation for six families is classed as six units. The same classification is used in referring to the number using sewer facilities. In_ connect- ing buildings to watt-r and sou/cl‘ mains thcrc is some diffeicncc. For example, a four tenement building may have four separate water services to the building. hlii would only have one sewer crin- nection from our main to the building and is then divided inside as needed. Therefore. aithoutsit only one connection is necessary to our sewer system, our reports might indicate that four connec- tions are needed-that is, there are four units, or establishments. “Another oint to consider is that aiihoug we supply water _io homes In areas outside the city limits we do not supply scivasc facilit cs to these. However, our reports we show the exact number supplied with water, which figure inclu e5 the homes in these areas. On the other hand, nur re- port of sewer connections covers only the city proper. "Again, although a connection has been made to our sewer main. we do not class a home as connect- ed to the system until the plumb- ing fixtures are installed inside the dwelling and we are collecting rates for those fixtures. Dwellings have been erected and connected to our sewer system, but fixtures have not been installed immedi- ately because of shortage of funds, or a change in ownership. During the war ygnrs materials have not always been available and a con- siderable number of premises, al- though cdnnncted to the system, have yet to be equipped with fix- turn. "During 1046 there were 210 in- dividual domestic establishments inside the city limits sup lied with water which did riot ave lumping fixtures installed. 0f his number four are to be torn down. flirty-four are already con- nected to our sewer mains but have not et installed piumbins fixtures. ere are. therefore, 201 separate a|tablishments_ at the present tin-i without sewerage connection. ny of these are not single dwellings. but make up two, three and four tenement buildings. ltlalflslohsnlsss "Ad intal out earlier for "PK Kl semi-ma Ch ’town Ubtained By Commission Daring Year stalled at the corner of Cincnfleld - Supply For ises are not. connected separately, but oil are serviced by one i-on- nection to our sewer main line. Therefore, from thissDepartmentfs standpoint, to accommodate the above Z01 establishments there would be required approximately 150 sewer services; in other words, there are actually univ 150 buildings in our city which are not connected to the sewerage. "During the past few years the number of old premises connected to the sewer system has averaged about 20 yearly, and now with more labour and materials avail- able, the change over should greatly increased and in the near future all premises should have sewerage facilities. "Approximately 585 orders were issued for turning on or off water caused by transient and local resi- dents moving from one address to another; there were approximate- iy one thousand calls for turning off and on services for emergency repair .f\l'ld for plumbing tests during the year. “No debentures or bonds ivt-re issued or sold during the your.

As pointed out gt that time, we were in consultation with Mr. W. s, Lea, consulting on. gineer of Montreal with s view to finding the most economical and rnost practical means of augment. ing our water supply. Mr. Lea is familiar with our problems here, b91118 himself an Islander and more especially our consulting engineer for the development. at Braekley and for tecommeridstions on other maJor water and sewer problems of our system. “With reference to sources of water supply. our present system of wells at Brackley, Malpeque and North River Stations are all shal- low wells. We have been‘ very fortunate in the past to have been able to get our supply from shal- low wells rather than the deep wells that are necessary in many communities. However, it is a widely recognized fact that as lands are cleared of trees and de- veloped as farms the water sheds such areas do not get as much moisture as formerly and it is bo- coming more difficult to find good, shallow well supplies. “It is also true that, yhsllow sources of supply are affected by periods of dry, hot weather. With these fact; in mind, it was thought advisable to consider deep wells (400-700 feet ll'1 depth) for future supplementary development. It was apparent. that the installation of a deep well would be more costly; on the other hand a great saving could be made in operating costs if such a development could be made at one of our present pumping stations a5 it would ell. minute the necessity of an addit- ional station and station operator.
