;~.Y.:~~~l~_'Da,ley, Pye and Kincaide and the opponents of Messrs. Brown, Lund, Logan" McAfee and McGuire. A, general
,~ I discussion ensued in which both factions set forth their reasons for and against the proposed early

't'1 'f- --, If/I- "I7.1e-_," Time to Atlantic Standard Time. The several representatives submitted their vaI,'ious views in this matter,
if one of the main points being that a change in the "Time" would entail a general mix-up in trains leaving
the City and .connecting .in Moncton with Halifax'and Montreal, as well as in SUburban service. The question
of the reQuests of many of the citizens of Saint John that the time be set at Atlantic Standard in order
that school children would not have to go out to school while it was still dark in the morning, was
discussed at length. Letters were read at the meeting in this connection from the Lancaster Board of
Trade, G. Earle Logan, Esquir~, The Retail Merchants' Association of Canada and the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company. After a general discussion of the many points involved in this question, the delegation
then withdrew from the mee~ing.

II
Vi1IEREAS hostHities officially ceased in Europe and the eighth day of IVlay has been
officially proclaimed as "V-E Day", I, by virtue of my office as Mayor of the City of Saint John, do
hereby declare the eighth day of Maya public holiday, and a day on \~ich I exhort all citizens of the
City of Saint John to return humble thanks to the Divine Power.
,That organized armed resistance has ceased in Europe is but a half-way mark; that war is
still to be waged against the Japanese, with the threat of further casualties amongst members of the
Canadian Armed Forces, should inspire all of us to a trulY' Christian observance of "V-E Day,"
I
Recalling that many young men who lived in this City have already laid down their lives
in our defence, and in the defence of world civilization, I would urge all to make the celebration one in
which we shall give thanks to Almighty God for our deliverance, and through our actions, truly revere
our heroic dead.
I
GOD SAVE THE KING.

informed that when the City sold the H8rbour Front Properties to the Harbour CommiSSion, that the
<.:ity retained Rodney Vfuarf with the understanding that should the Commission need this whar~~in
the future that they would be required to roplace same with the construction of a bridge. Alderman
O'Brien stated he felt the documents in this connection should be reviewed to learn the true facts
in this matter.
Alderman Belyea expressed the op1n10n that it would be unwise to retain Rodney
Wharf due to its expensive up-keep and the long cold walk from the ferry that the use of this
wharf involved. He said he felt that it vms imperative to continue the operation of the ferry
due to its patronage by the worktng public, and that a trade of this "marf with the Harbour
Commission for a berth on the west side water front VJE!S most advisable.

At a Oommon Council held at the City Hall in the City of Saint John, on Thursday,
the ninth day of January, A.D., 1947, at 10 o'clock a.m.,
present
James D. McKenna, Esquire, Ma:{or
llldermen Belyea, Jamieson, 0' Brien, Patterson, Wasson and Whi tebone.
His Vlorship the I;,1ayor.. read a telegram from the Minister of Transport advising
that Mr. K.G. Chisholm, District thief .Engineer for the Maritime F'rovinces of Dominion vJater
and Power Bureau, would meet the ]!'ederal Director of Marine Services at Saint John and would
review thoroughly the matter of the probable effect on the harbour currents by the breaking
down of the remaining half of the S.S. Beaverhill in her present position in the harbour. His
Worship advised thet he had met Messrs. Chisholm and Anderson and they assured him that every
precaution would be taken to safeguard the interests of fishermen as well as the port. A report
in this connection would be forwarded to ottawa, and it is anticipated that same would be
ava ilab+e for the Counc ill s perusal at its next meeting. He had been given assurance .that th'e'.
representations of the Council in respect to this matter would receive careful consideration.
On motion of Alderman O'Brien
Seconded by Alderman p,atterson
RESOLVED that the wire be received and filed.
His War ship the Mayor made refe:t:'ence to the attitude taken by Premier 1icNair,
a s indicated by the press, in, regard to the Federal Government's offer of Income Tax subsidy
to the Province of New Brunswick, citing the discriminetory treatment in this connection as
between the Provinces of New Brunswick and British Columbia. His VJC)rship stated that the
Premier's deci sion had been endorsed by leading newsp8pers and that he felt that the Common
Council should go on record as supporting the Premier in this matter, as well as clearly indicating
the City's understanding of the situation as previously given by the 1!~ederal Government- that is,
that any advantage that mi.ght be given to any .i:'ro\Tince, over and above the basic subsidy decided upon
f9r:.;-the Province of New Brunswick, would accrue to this Province's benefit.
On motion of Alderman Jamieson
Seconded by Alderman Wasson
IillSOLVED thBt this Common' Council eo on record as
most heartily endorsing the attitude'of Premier McNair in regard to the Fed~ral Government's
offer of Income Tax subsidy to the Province of New Brunswick, advising also thc:t it is the wish
of the City of Saint John to offer all possible support in this connection as it will seriously
affect this Municipality.
His Worship the Mayor referred to the congestion of this port during the past
several days which resulted in the necessity of the removal of several ships from thi sport
to Halifax. He stated that the railways had placed the blame upon labor, and the steamship
services, and that labor had contended that it was CClused by the neglect 'on the part of the
"railways in not having the proper shunts to alleviate the situation. He said that irrespective
of the interests responsible for this situation, that it was very apparent that this port
was very poorly equipped. He then cited the requirements of the port to allow improved conditions,
namely , additional docks, adequate passenger facilities for ~;iest Baint 'John, and the immediate
reconstruction of McLeod 13nd Pettingil Wharves. He said that in the immediate future a great
deal of shipping would be diverted to other Canadian and United States ports if the disgraceful
port conditions continued to prevail. He said ~hat this matter should be brought forcibly to the
attention of the Federal (~vernment, and that other ports in Canada should also be asked to
follow the matter through for improvements to their respective .ports by the Federal Governmento
.Alderman Belyea advised that a large number of freight cars had been held up;
in New York and 'contended that there was inefficiency on the part of the v.N.R. He'claimed
there was a hold-up of 1200 cars between here and Quebec, and that of necessity this freight
would be channeled through Halifa,x. He felt that the C.N.R., should handle frei@')1t more
e:A.'Peditiously. .
On mot ion of l,lderman Wasson
Seconded by lllderman Patterson
RESOLV8D that this Cowmon Council go on record as
urging the l'ederal Government to improve this Port's faciU.ties, as recommended by His Worship
the Mayor.
nlS )"'orsh ip the Mayor advisod the Council tha t Prince Street 'and other low situated
areas of liVest Sa:i.nt John had experienced low water pressure yesterday. When informed of this
trouble he got in touch w:Lth the Executive Director and within a very short time the condition
was rectified.
~:Che Executi ve Director stated that he had not received \^.'ord re this trouble until'
advised by the Mayor. He called the chief foreman to learn if any report had been received and
was told no complaint had been given to the department. He advised .him to go to the area .
affected, and within twenty minutes the trouble had been eliminated. He advised that it had
been twenty minutes to twelve o'c:I.ock noon (January 8th) when the trouble had started at
Champlain and Prince streets. He said that it would appear that several matters, outside of
the i'~ater system itself, that needed rectifying. JIe stated that the Superintendent of the Water
Bnd Sewerage Department had been ill the past S8veral days and therefore it had not been possible
to discuss the matter with him.

I had.c~n.t ributed i.t s s.hare ~y the immediate purch~se of an amb.ulance when a definite
. dec~s~on had been reached ln the matter, - that ln fact the panel truck acquired for
, this purpose had been lying idle in the garage for the past'several weeks,. ,He said. ,~

interested parties, stating that the National Harbours Board were not represented at
this meeting, and he understood had taken no action in regard to this matter. He
advised that the shipping companies had reiterated their willingness to participate
in operational costs. He stated that it had been understood that the C.P.R. would
continue the operation of the first aid station,as well as the ambulance; that he had
contacted Mr. S.W. Crabbe, Superintendent, C.P.R., and he had advised him that they
had no intention of operating this ambulance. Alderman Whitebone said that there was
no legal obligation in this matter, but that there certainly was a moral obligation in
providing this service. He said that he believed that under the shipping act the,
National Harbours Board could be compelled to maintain a first aid station in every
shed. Alderman Whitebone stated that as chairman of the Committee he felt that some
action should be taken in the matter at once.
