The Guardian, Charlottetown, Fri. July 2'7, 1962. 5
A public meeting composed of residents of Kirkwood Drive and surrounding area. and interest- ed parties concerned with wat- er contamination in Charlotte- town Harbor went on record last night as urging the "City of Charlottetown. Parkdale, Sher-
lng of raw sewage in Charlotte- town harbor."
Copies of the recommendation will be sent to all bodies named.
Meeting for the second t i m e within a week, reports were giv- en on meetings with the provin- cial government officials and Mayor A. Walthen Gaudet.
Jack Johnston. chairman of the committee, said the provin- cial government officials advis-
that before the next aw
ming season a lagoon would be bull-t at Riverside Hospital and a septic tank at Beach Grove. The meeting with Mayor Gau- det resulted in the understand- ing that dally tests of the wat- er at Kirkwood Drive would be made.
TESTS TO BE MADE Mrs. Gordon Hughes said that tests will be taken today a nd Saturday and the _report will be lmown Monday. She said if t h e report was favorable the swim- ming classes would be continu- ed in’ the area Tuesday morn- g.
It was revealed that of two water samples taken by a rest- dent the area and tested by the health department one test-

City Employee Passes Suddenly
City police. yesterday reported the n ath of Lemuel MacNeill. 84, of 19 Spring Street. I Charlottetown. ~
Mr. MacNeill, who was a part- time employee with the city, was apparently on his way home
late in the year for such pro- jects to be undertaken.
The minister said. that once the two plants are operating any pollution of harbor waters bv government operated institu- tions will be ended. It will then be up to the municipalities and individuals to act as they see fit to cure the remaining prob- lem. he noted.
No details of the two plants are available at this early date.
Raw Sewage Disposal In Harbor is Protested
up to 50 is considered safe, it was stated.
Mrs. Hughes said that she and a number of other ladies visited Beach Grove last week and saw that the se wage was being dumped from the sewer pipe ap- proximately seven yards f r o m
Frederic A. Large. QC. s aid that a "deplorable" situation exists at Parkdale and if this was let go on it was no good cleaning up the east and west- ern sections of the city.
He said he would like to see a sewage treatment centre in the city into which the sewage from Parkdale could be pumped.
He paid tribute to the women that were on the committee that visited with the government of-
wood, and the provincial govern- shore ’ ment to discontinue the dump-
. flclals and the Mayor and said
that having them on the com- mittee impressed the seriousness of the situation “on those who were visited."
Keith MacKinnon took objec- tion to a recent editorial th at appeared in The Guardian in re- gard to remarks made by Sid- ney T. Green, chairman of the Charlottetown Water Commis- sioners, at the last meeting of the residents.
Mr. Macl(innon said he w a s sorry that Mr. Green was not at last night's meeting and that he thought “the press was a little too hard on him". '
“This sort of thing certainly discourages citizens to do their part. Mr. Green told me that he would never come forward like that at a meeting again. I am sure that if Mr. Green had been contacted after the meeting he would have withdrawn his state- ments," Mr. MacKinnon said.
