Mayor Explains Why lie Called Special Meeting

Inastatementtntheprmlast

averting following the special meet- ing of the City Council, His Wor- ship Mayor MacDonald said he wished to make it clear to the pub- lic why the meeting had been call- ed. "After our announcement early in the week, adopting Daylight Saving Tune." he said, “I received criticism from citizens as to its legality. Not wanting to break the law, I called lest night's meeting and made a statement in which I urged that we postpone action for one month. to give the matter con- slderation. This suggestion was not followed in the resolution which was put through and carried. As chalmlan I have no vote, except in the case of a tie, which did not occur ln this instance. I had of course no choice but to put the motion, which carried in favor of gol-ng on Dsyilght Eoving Time immediately."

100 Telephone Poles Smashed By Freezing Rain

. :; 15cm Thwsdey brought about 100 telephone poles in the districts a few miles east. nnd west of Summersfde, it was learned yeslcrclay.

A survey indicated the following damagq between Summcrslda and Hwrlcr River, 15 poles down; be- tween Bedeque and Reed's, corner. 12. between Wellington and Port- age. 65 to '15.

Other sections of the province escaped with only slight damage.

Canadian National Tclcgraphs lines to the nmlrzlttnd, which ‘Jroke under the weight of ice about 8 o'clock Thursday ‘night. were rc- palred early yesterday. C.N.T. cl’- flclals in Charlottetown reported that as far as they knew none of their poles were toppled by the ice. Their trouble was caused by broken wires.

Telephone llnesnien yesterday were making only temporary re- pairs in order to restore service. It was expected to be two to three weeks before all the damage was repaired.

Icing conditions occurred over much of the Province during the heavy “rain which came with a tem- lfifllillfg that was about 32 degrees for hours. But it was only ln tho arce a few mllcs on each side of Swtnsmrslde that lee formed in quantities heavy enough to cause serious trouble. Rlslng tenrpera- titres Thursday night and early yesterday melted the ice clinging to wires and trees.

Protestant Churches Will 0hey The law

The Rev. J. '1‘. Ibbott, rector o St. Paul's Anglican Church and President of the Prince llldtvard Blond Ministerial Association, an- nounced lest night that the City Protestant churches would re- main on Stamdard Time. "So long as Standard Time ls the law of the Province," Mr; Ibbott said, me Churches feel they have no other recourse than to obey the law."

School Board To Decide Question 0f Time Today

Charlottetown parents will not know until after a special meet- ing today of the City School Board-called by the clialrnlan Dr. I_ J. Yco—whether to preplre their children for school next: Monday on Daylight Saving Time or Standard Th-ne. An hour's dif- ference may mean d-lsruptlng the whole household schedule.

The Colleges, however -- both Prince of Wales and Saint Dun- slan’s—wlll remain on Standard Time regardless of last. night's decision of the Cliy Council to change to Daylight Time.

Prince of Wales being a Gov- eminent institution, is followmg instructions issued by the Mnls- ter of Education (Hon. J. Walter Jones). In the case of St. Dim- stans. the rector, Rev. Dr. R. V. MacKehzie‘, stated the decision

9d by the Province.

It ls illldSfflOOd that. the Courts wlll continue on Standard T-me, as well as railway and Govern- ment nfflces_

Merchants wlll be left largely to their own discretion, and no uniform opinion could be obtamed by inquiries lost night.

Premier Jones has Jntlmated that the action of the City Coun- cil ls “plainly at variance with the law", and that this aspect of the situation may have to be consid- ered by the Government.

Opponents of the Uniform Trme Act claim that it ls nullified by reason of having no penalty clauses, and that it may in fact be ultra vlres. That, of course would have to be determined by the Courts-slitting on Standard Time.

Meanwhile confusion prevails, and plain John Citizen and his wlfe and family are wondering what on earth all the furore is about.

OTTAWA, May 2- (Special)- Flsherles Minister H. l". G. Bridges told W. Chester s. Mc- Lure, Progressive Conservative member for Queen's in the Com- mong this afternoon, that he would investigate the report that the Government of lweden had im- poscd e system of import licensing against. Canadian lobster and would make a statement on the matter on Monday.

Mr. Bridges’ reply was lm sn- swer to a question by the Queen's member as to whether such c. system was now operative. Mn McLure pleaded urgency in the matter ln view of the fectthat. such g barrier might have en effect on canned lobster pTiCES. and that the Prince Edward Is- land lobster season had Just open- ed on May 1.

Train Strikes. Horse & Buggy, Three Killed

(By- The Canadian Press)

TRENTON, 0nt.. May 2—An elderly couple who travelled by horse and buggy because

they considered automobiles dangerous were killed last. night when a Toronto-to-

Montreai passenger train rip- ped into their light rlg at ‘l0 miles an hour. _

Killed were Jonas Rorke. ‘i3: his» 86-year-old wife, Eliza- beth; and Mrs. Mary Burreil, about 65, who was riding with the Rorkes as they drove home from a visit to Mrs. Burke's son by her first mar- riage. Acquaintances said all three were short-sighted.

The horse. described by neighbors as "dependable." cs- csped. It was found wander- ing, half-stunned, hot for from the level crossing two miles east of here where the Canadian National Railways flier plowed into the buggy.

Ontario Provincial Police from nearby Bellevllle said thev were at a loss to explain the accident. They said that although the crossing has no warning signal, the occupants of the buggy must have had a clear view of the tracks because the road annrolches the railway at an angle.

Splinter: and other wreck- age from the buggy were scattered for hundreds of yards around the crossing. which is about 300 yards from

the Rorke form home.

"My information," he told The Guardian. “is that our Prince Ed- Iitd Island calmed lobster ex- porters had looked towards Swe- dent as an important factor in the-European market. It is their understanding that Sweden is one of the few countries whose finances are in good condition and they had llc-ped not only to sell considerable (lllflillllle! 0f 9X‘ port lobsters to Sweden but m" this country would act in distri- buting it to other European cen- trol.
