THREE MILES OF PAVING THIS YEAR Will Bring Total of City's Paved Streets Up to 25 Miles will have Oshawa 25 miles of City Esgineer Smith estimated to- day. This will leave 45 miles of streets without pavement out of the city's total street mileage of 70 within the municipal limits. The feature of this year's pave- ment construction is the emphasis has been laid on short lengths that have been paved to conmect up with nearby thoroughfares, thereby re- lieving traffic congestion om the busier streets. Wihile the majority of the city appropriation for street im- provement has gone into the longer stretches of pavement in residential sections, the total of the small link work is imposing and will confer distinct benefits on the business and industrial districts, it is stated. The total mileage of street paving this year will run to something over three miles. For the coming year year's paving program in local his- tory.

Alderman George Hart Wil! Introduce a Motion at Mon- day Night's Council Meet- ing Regarding Proposal to Amalgamate Parks Board, Cemetery Board and Town Planning Commission Ald. George Hart, chairman of the Board of Works, announced that he will move at the Council meeting Mon- day might 'that a committee be ap- pomnted to consider the proposal that a Public Service Commission in Osh awa be formed by amalgamating ihe Town Planning Commission, Parks Board and Cemetery Board of Gover nors, and to bring in recommendations looking t6 the formation of such a body. Strong approval of the suggested amalgamation is expressed by Ald Hart. Public interest aroused in the proposal makes it one, in Mr. Hart's opinion, that should receive early at- tention by the City Council. Espec- ially in view of the fact that special legislation may be mecessary before the plan can be effected. The committee, however, can re- commend a temporary arrangement to the Council of 1928, however, which would involye no more than appoint- ing the same six men, more or less, to each of the three bodies concerned.
