The Provincial Government has made voluntary grants to the City of Charlottetown within the last 12 months amounting to between $50000 and $60,000. Premier J. Walter Jones yesterday informed the official representatives of the Provinces six smaller towns,

The statement was made in the Msislative Chambers yesterday afternoon when representatives of the Towns of Aiberton. Borden, Kenslngton, Montague, George- town and souris assembled under the chairmanship of J. F. Con- nolly. Deputy Minister of Recon- struction, to discuss the drafting of a uniform incorporation act ior the six towns. _

The result of the discussion was that a resolution, moved by Mayor C- R- Profit. Ailberton, and second- ed by Mayor .1. A. B. McConnell, Georgetown, that the Mayor and Council of each Town appoint one representative and that those representatives meet ln Charlotte- town on August 15 next was un- animousiy adopted. T‘ " " Needed

Mr. Connolly opened the meet- ing by stating that it had been impossible to do much in respect to town planning because of the lack of uniformity in the Incor- poration Acts of the various towns. As matters stand at present, Mr. Connolly said, the various towns are handicapped because of their lack of a uniform Incorporation Act when they wish to approach the Government on financial" or economic matters. It was his opin- icnnhe said, that his Department could do much more for those towns if its work could be made

more effective by reason of s greater uniformity. Those, he said. were the main reasons for his Department having called the present meeting.

Mr. Paul Gallant, Mayor of

Souris, said he had come to the meeting with an open mind. I-lc believed there was much to be said in favour of s uniform in- corporation but in achieving such uniformity, he thought there would have to be considerable ‘give and take." Moreover, it was his opinion that each town should be able to bring its ‘ry-laws to that state where they would be mori- ern and satisfactory to the citi- zens concerned without the ne- cessity of such a. meeting as the present one.

Mr. W. A. Fields, Borden Town Magistrate’ said he could not agree with all said by Mr. Gallant. Mr. Fields could see no reason why there should not be a uniform Incorporation Act. Borden hsd authority to enact certain by-laws but when "it came to a showdown. holes could be picked in many of them."

Mayor Russell Champion, Ken- sington, said he could see no rea- son why the towns could not have uniform Incorporation Acts. The Town of Kenslngton was hamper- ed. Mayor Champion said, be- cause it was not allowed to bor- -______- ___-

NEW YORK. July 20—(AP) —Heavy selling drove stock prices down‘$l. to more than $3 a share today in one of the severest declines in months.

More than 81.000.000.000 in market value of all shares

listed in the eschsnge was erased. Shares of virtually every

type of business gave ground

and Wall Street linked the

decline with a two-day drop in tho London stock market.

Steel, automobile, rubber, farm implement and rallmad stocks all gave ground sharply.

Weakness at London was believ- ed to reflect growing fears tihat. the British economic picture was dc- terioratlng at an alarming rate. A turn for the worse there. it was felt, could have profound repercussions throughout the

world.

Wheat declined at Chicago and cotton slutrnped at New York in the general uneasiness.

Wail Streeters also credited re- cent slumping commoditlcs and n- newed talk of an inflation-recession cycle as the main reasons behind the decline.

llew Island Chick llatchery Cc. Famed

An important development in Prince Edward Island's rapidly ex. handing poultry industry has taken place during the past v/cek with the decision of some of the prov- ince's largest producers, and sev. oral others closely associated with the industry here. to establish sn- other chick hatchery in the prov- ince located at Charlottetown.

To accomplish this DUIpOEQ, the Island Chick HBtchEry Co. has been formed headed by Donald A. MacDonald MBE" Glenflnnan, whose poultry have been among the heaviest prize-winners at that Provincial exhibitions for many years; with him in the new com- pony are associated, vice-presid- ent, Mr Harold Smith of Smith Bros, Pownai Secretary-Treasurer, Mr WG. Mlngo, Charlottetown, and Mr. JJ). MacDonald, Glen- finnan. The new hatchery will be under tlhe management of Mr Basil MacQui-id, Charlottetown, who has hail many years experi- ence in all phases of poultry work. and who is well-known throughout the Province.

The new company has already ordered some of the most T0009"! hatching equipment available and will ccrnmencc hatching operations in January, 1948. They will

early have sufficient caDMlW to pro- duce at least 125,000 chicks the

first year. and will be prepared to increase their hatching capacity fl the needs oi the industry and ser- vice to the public require its ex- pension.

For some Iilflnd

years past, farmers have imported several hundred thousand chicks each year from sources outside the pro- vince. partly because existing pro- vinoloi hstcheries have been un- able to supply sufficient chicks when needed. The new company feels that the province should st least be able to meet its own re- qulrementsfirhey will be supplied with hatching eggs by the very best R.O.P, sired breeding flocks available, snd wiu be prepared st all timer. to give our poultqr fsrrn- ers the best possible service. The Guardian wishes the new company every success, snd feels that. it will soon occupy an important plsco in the sgnoultursl life of our prov- ince.

Ottawa Expects _Fceil Drain Suhsiiiy To End

OTTAWA, July 29 --(CP)-— The Federal Cabinet this week will have to announce its decision on whether to continue its system of drawback payments on Western teed grains used by Eastern farms and observers here feel it is doubt- ful if the Govennment will retain the subsidy much beyond Thursday, its expiry date.

Various protests have been rc- ceived from Eastern farmers urg- ing that the drawbacks be retained, but rwi-th reports from the Prairies indicating a spread o! the drought areas, it is considered unlikely the West will have much feed grain itself.

The payments, amounting to 25 cents a bushel each on barley and wheat and l0 cents on oats, is to keep down the feeding cost to the Eastern fanmcr while guaranteeing s good price for feed to the West- ern producer. They also encourage output of livestock in the face of meat price ceilings which prevent the livestock producer from boost- ing his prices.
