Increasing Demand
“There ha: been a steadily in- ereaain demand for water during recent year: and this year was no exception-the increase over 1945 being 40,885,200 gallons -thi>s
increase in myezr when rain andl
snowfall were very much below average, not only here. but gen- erally throughout the Maritlmea.
"Statistic: obtained at the Enron-r- mental Farm show that to-tal lain- fall for 194d was only 38 inches as agulnrt the 1945_total of 48 in- ches, and the average for the last forty-six years of 42.52 inches. This 21 per cent reduction in rain- fall, with resulting lowering of the water table, and approximately O per cent increase in general coll- sumption, very seriously affected all our sources of supply.
"Further to this, the destruction by fire of the plants of BrilCe Stewart and Company. Sterne l.\n- ited and Davis and Fraser Lim- ited-all regrettably affecting the economy of our City-wore a great hardship to u: because of the huge gallcnag; of water used in fighting these fires.
“One year ago we reported to you that we could foresee further demands for wuter, but we did not foresee the demands created by these disastrous fires. nor could we foresee the loss l-n rainfall which so seriously affected our sources of supply.
New Deep Well
“As atahd in our last report, with a view to relieving our sup- ply difficulties and to give u: a source unaffected by long period: of dry weather, a new deep well (530 feet deep) had been put down at the Malpeque Road Pumping Phat. and we were promised d:- llvery of a turbine pump for this m on or about January 81st,
"It wa: our hop: that thl: ad- ditional equipment would be in operation early last year. but un- fortuurteiy duo to strikes in the United Jtates, we did not receive the turbine pump until September 13th. Because of the continued dry spell, installation was rushed to completion as mpidly as pog- elblh-our men working day and nilht.

Establishment of s eantsol slaughter house ain't employment of_ a full-time meat inspector are recommended by Dr. 0.8. Nord- land, city meat inspector, in his report submitted at. the recent annual meeting of the Olty Goun-
June 1a to Deci 91, 191d, during ‘which time he made inspections every TUCEdBy and Friday.

"The conditions responsible for the condemnation." says the re- port, "were mostly parasitic. Oth- crs were infectious in nature, while a few condemnation: were due to irnififllllr haruiling of the meat."
While existing conditions of meat handling and inspection in the city are described as satisfact- tory, it is suggested that there i: Proom for improvement."
Recommendation
On the ground that "no meat in- spection is wholly efficient that. does not begin with the inspection of the live animal." the report rec- otrlmenda tho following measures: 1. The establishment of a cen- tral slaughter house where all 100d animals are slaughtered under in- speftiion and where sufficient re- frigeration space is incorporated t0 ensure the finished meat being kept in a wholesome condition un- til it: sale and consumption.
a The. inspection on the indiv- idual butchers’ premises of the liVO animal just prior to slaughter and the impaction of all inierrlal or- gan; just after slaughter.
a The inapection on the indiv- idusl butchers‘ premise: of the live animal prior to slaughter and the inspection at the market on the clay following the slaughter of guch Qrggm ea the inspection 01 tho live animal may halve deemed
eocasary. "This, "the report states, “would entair the services of a full-limb meat inspector and in the! case 0f the last mentioned suggestions a qltem by which he would be 1n- foa-med wihenfioach individual but- eher would)» slaughtering.

rreachirig yesterday morning on the text, “And I. John, saw the holy city. new Jerusalem. comiul down from God out of heaven." (Revelation 21:2), the Minister. tho Rcv‘d. T. H. B. Seniors, said: “There are ‘shining ones‘ whom we encounter in fields and by tho riverside. There are forces of good and evil actually at war in personal form, and the angel who delivered Peter is, to Bunyan. no incredible individual. “L I": was just as sure of those other be- ings who fought or helped the upward life. When he made one of hi: character: cry ‘Angel: and minister: of grace, defend usl’ he was not indulging in mere rhetoric. He expected such a prayer to pro- duce a very practical result. Ours i: a deteriorated world, because we have lost all sense of the supernatural, and our power to wonder has failed us. It may be the mission of science to help to restore both, for. just a: music and mathematics are two forms o! the rerne reality, so religion and science are inextricably wedded in their realization of the magic of the universe. of the earth. and of personality, and Hamlet and Prospero were infinitely nearer the truth than the modern sceptic. It is a tragic error to believe that, because something is lsier, it is therefore dtller truer or better. Now end then it would be well if readers of history were honest enough. not only to assess our gain: and gdvances, but also to admit and estimate our losses avid retreats.
