by

Almost

of

fell
during
the
month
and
there
were
shciv-1

on

the

honor
of
being
wettest
month
so
,
far
this
year,
barely
nosed
out
by
January
with
10.63
inches.
However,
September
of
this
year
had
less
rain
than
the
same
month
last
year
when
there
was
13.43
inches.
The
total
rainfall
for
the
(first
nine

of

62.45

for

The

were

during

were
only

Highest

during

was

This
makes

the

and
well

BRIGHTON,
Sussex,
Eng.
(CP)
The
Conservative
party
voted
overwhelmingly
at
the
annual
conference
today
in
favor
of
retaihing
some
form
of
nationalized
industry
if
and
when
the
Labor
government
falls.
In
so
doing,
a
minority
in
the
party
gave
support
to
its
self-proclaimed
"Progressive
Wing."
The
party
had
previously
j
passed
a
resolution
criticizing'
rrnTCkiDCn
the
Labor
government
for

calling
for

Last

Nine

department,
during
September.
The
only
damage
of
consequence
occurred
during
a
blaze
In
a
room
of
the
.
Clinton
Apartments
on
Fraser
Street.
Four
of
the
alarms
came
from
residents
who
were
concerned
about
overheated
stovepipes.
There
were
no
false
alarms
turned
in
during
the
month.
In
the
matter
of
fire
calls,
last
month
was
the
easiest
September
for
the
department
in
teveral
years
with
the
exception
af

which
also
had

The
