T.Lhat was in the late minutes of the second period wben the U.S. squad expioded with a three goal out- burst that, left the partisan crowd baffled. Combines applied a bard bit- ting, effective type of fore- cbeeking that kept the Yankees fromn completing most of their long passing plays. However wben the visitors did click with one of their passing efforts they bad Combines hustling for ail tbey were wortb. Goalies Alert Tbe Yanks weren't lax in shooting eitber and their aim proved accurate as they outshot Combines 42 to 33. Whenever Combines did slip defensively tbough, reliable Ross Hawe was tbere. The youthful net minder came up with bis best perform- ance of the season, as he made sorne spectacular saves. Don Rigazio was on his toes in American nets too, and it took some cool engineering to beat the alert youngster. Re- member-Whitby Dunlops were oniy able to sneak eight goals by hlm in their two games with the Yanks, and probably many a Senior "A" goalie envies birn that record against the Dun- nies.

Vice chairman will be W. Ross Strike Q.C. George Van Bridger, manag- er et the Utilities, advised the Commission that certain chan- ges are desirable in the regula- tiens concerning 100 ampere service. With specific reference te du- plex and apartment buildings where 60 ampere service would Milton J. Ellilot provide adequate protection, Mr. Van Bridger proposed the foilowing amendrnent: 1. (a) Services for ail single dweliings will neot be less than 100 amperes with a minimum of No. 2 wire being used. (b) service for all duplex or multiple cccupancy residences:* the lower duplex to have not less than 100 ampere in capa- city, the upper duplex or part thereof-60 ampere in capacity: the main service te be a min- Imum o! No. 1 R.H. wire. (c) apartment dwellings: erected as such or converted, each apartment unit-60 arn- pere in capacity; the master service governed by regulations. (d) the commission will make an allowance cf $25 to the ewn- er of the property in each case wbere 100 amp service is in- stalied. The above amendment was approved and the Commission agreed te pay $25 te offset the additional cost of the 60 ampere service. The cheque for $25 wil be tendered te the home- owner when the installation is passed by the Electrical In- spection Department. To Buy Gas Wholesale With approxlrnately 3,000 galions of gasoline being used each year in the trucks, trac- tors, air compressor and water pump it was recornrended that a gasoline pump be instalied along with 500 gallon under- ground tank. This will cost ap- proximately $300 but will mean an estirnated saving of 10 cents per gallon. The Utilities will advertise for tenders for the supply o! gas. Representatives of Local 894 of the International Brother- bood of Electrical Workers met with the Commission and a settlernent was reached.
