A lurvey of the Charlottetown Ilrblgu dump area, to wihicii editorial reference appeared yesterday's Guardian,

made _ Sanitary Following is the text of his report: "A visit was made to the Char- lotttetovm garbage dump at the re- quest of a rnecnber of the Charlotte- town City Council. A thorough examination was made of the property. The examination reveal- ed an ares which, iin the opinion 0f the Writer. could b; construed as a nuisance utnder the Public Health Act. (Iiapter 26. R21, sec. 430:). which states: " ‘Anything which is injurious to tho health. or indecent. or offensive to the senses or an obstruction to (the free use of property so as to interfere with the comfortable en- ioyiment or life or property. shall be defmB-d a. nuisance under this ct.’ “The garbage dump had the typical odour of a sewage disposal plan-t. This was thought to be due to oxidization and decaying of organic materials from the meat packing plant which had been placed on ihl ice covering a little pond in the dump area. Now the ice has snel-ted and iihe organic, matter, consisting of hair, skin. meats. blood aind fluids has mixed into the water and was in a decay- ing state 1m which putrificatloti was wen advanced. "‘In addition to this organic material from the meat packing

The drainage ditch has been obstructed by itn- discriminate throwing of cans. iron and steel scrap into the ditches.

Summary

"At the time of the visit. the dump had been set an fire in order -to remove paper and cardboard wastes. This, was the only method- availabic to controi the scattering 0f paper and boxes over- tthe dump area and adjacent property.

“The pond, with its decaying matter. is an ideal location for the breeding of flies amd mosquitoes. This is a. public health chatter in that these dnseots may spread disease. Also. cats and dogs in the dump area. as well as rats. arc n public health problem and a definite potential danger.

"No earth fill or bulldozer has been used in the dump area since last fall, The bulldozer compactsl the fill. while the earth buti-ies the offensive material and is not objectionable to the cye.

Conclusions

1. Tile wastes from the packing plant should not be allowed oin this dump. ‘

2. A bulldozer should bs avail-

"Upward 3 Revision Of

Telephone

An upward revision oi telephone rates for the miarlottotown ex- change, amounting to about $1.0.- 000 in revenue annually, was B-n- ttcunced in a iudsment delivered yesterday by Judge C. st. Clair Trainer, chairman of the Public

Utilities Commission, in connec-

tion with the application of the 9.3.1. Telephone Company.

The new flat rate exchange ser- vice is listed as follqwsr-l psi-- ty line 04-00 for business. 62-75 for residence; 2 party line $3.35 for business, $2.35 for residence; 10- party line $3.26 for business. $2.75 for residence; Multi party line $2.76 for husiness,.$2.25 for resi- dence. ' The judgment ‘recognizes that the Charlottetown exohanae "has far. outgrown the existing ex- change classification" and that the company is entitled to earn ad- ditional revenue to furnish plld maintain the services demanded. The increase granted falls con- siderably short oi that request- ed by the Company, which would amount to $21,000 annually. The Commission anticipates that the company. in addition to 810.000 additional revenue from the MW rates will save some 85,000 on ex-_ cess profits tax under iholudl- ment.

No other exchange in ths Pro- vince is affected by the increase. which will go into effect shorty cn order o! the Commission. Ibllwinl is the concluding part of the Commission's judltoent, which goes extensively into the representations of ‘he wmolnw In the fixing of any schedule of telephone rates. the question o! the differential between business and residence subscribers must always arise. Throughout Canada that differential varies. roushiy from one and one half times in Prince Edward Island and Nova arctic, to twice the rate in Brit- ish Columbia.

Overloaded Equipment

As s final note, the members of the Commission are aware of the handicaps under which the Com- pany is now carrying on in the much overloaded Charlottetown Exchange equipment. It is felt that within a reasonably short time extensions now in the making will add to the service efficiency.
