The 'Canadian government Is to consider creating the post of ambassador in Moscow, a spokesman for the external affairs department said today. The statement followed hard on the hes of the Moscow announcement of the appointment of D. S. Chuvakhia as new ambassador to Canada. Mr. Chuvakhin, former Soviet minister to Albania and charge d'affaires at the Russian embassy In Washington, Is the first USS R, ambassador to Canada since Georgi Zaroubln was recalled in 1945 at the time a Russian spy ring was unearthed in Canada. He is expected to take up his new post soon, the Russian embassy here said. Canada's senior representative in Moscow is Robert Ford, 38, charge d'affaires. He has served there 2'2 years though a normal Moscow posting is. for two years. Canada might take the occasion Council, In an effort to equalize the rates between small users and large industrial accounts accepted the recom mendatlons of City Superintendent O. E. Beaton and set the new rate at 9.63 cents per cubic foot for all water used over 100,000 cubic feet, effective September 1. The move will not affect the average householder. Prince Rupert, unlike other cities Is practically meterless and the new rate only affects a portion of the. 103 meters now installed. Figures obtained from Vancouver and Victoria and compared with the Prince Rupert water rates and revenue show that a consumer using 100,000 liation Theory by Prospector and the bill for the lot under the present system will be $2,-148.12. Under the new rates next month the same amount of water would - bring the city $2,783.53, an increase in revenue of $635.45. 'With the new rate gping into effect September 1, the increased water revenue to the city by the end of the year should be approximately $2,540, On meter rentals the Increase is as follows with the old rate in brackets: -inch meter, 75 cents (25 cents); 1-inch meter, 85 cents (50 cents); l2-inch meter, $1.10 (75 cents); 2-inch meter, $1.35 ($1); 3-inch meter, $3 ($1.50); 4-inch $3.50 ($2); 8-lnch $10, ($3);. 8-inch, $17 (4i. fees Plane on Kleanza Creek the Daily News) but It does follow closely the lines until It conies over the Eft-Reports continue j 'i'"-" me piaiie woum, point oi interest wnen II starts :.n the missing plane i""" , ...
