The regular monthly meeting of
the City Council was hield in the Council Charmbers last evening. I-lis Worship Mayor Brown occupied the chair and all the Councillors with the exception of Councillor Wright were present. A number of' bills were_ read and on motion ordered to be paid.
Several communications were read, among others one from the Board' oi' Trade asking "what steps, if any, htve been taken to protect our City and Harbor from a sea attack by sub- inarlne or other war vessel."
A comnnittee- consisting of Conn-I
cillors Ledwell. Smith and McKen- zie was appointed to obtain any in- formation possible and submit same to the Board.
A joint Committee from the Board
of Trade, Chlldren's Aid and Antl- Tuberculosis Society waited on the Council regarding School Inspection and the inspection of School Bulld- ings. also meat and imllk inspection.
Mr. Jiosqph M‘cCareiy, Dr. Fuller-
ton, Mr. J. O. I-lyndman and Mr. NV. F. Tidmarsli spoke very strongly re- garding these matters.
The Mayor stated that an ahbatolr
should he provided in order to make tli-ings satisfactory.
Councillor Ledwell suggested that
an Inspector for meats should he ap- pointed and he could inspect on cer- tain days. He further said why should the Provincial Government not bear a share Qt the cost of School Inspection as quite a number of dl- seascs came into the City through the Prince of Wales College. Coun- cillor Ledwell pointed out that whilst all these different inspections we-re desirable the -matter of the filthy con- dition of some houses in the City which he termed "pest iiousr-.s"j should be looked into und if possible something be (lone to remedy mat-_
ters. ‘

Councillor Miller said there was
over 2 acres of ground at Spring Park which might be utilized. He went on to say that the press almost made it appear that the City Council was opposed to School Inspection. Such was not the case. The Coun- cil was in favor of imedical inspec- tion of schools but this was a mai- ter for ,thc School Board am] was entirely under their jurisdiction.

half oi' the Charlottetown Ilotcl (`o.. asking for exemption on tho Victori.-1 and Queen Hotel properties, over and above a valuation oi' $40,000 for ii per- iod of 20 years, The request wns changed to 10 years.
Councillor Rattray said -it was ii-ll
right to ask for things, but it was un- otber matter to pay. If taxes- were in- creased to pay for all these things- he did not think there would be so many delegations waiting on the Council.
