Mayor Preston then said: "I can see eye te eye with you in this mat- ter, We can't take a narrow view of {t, There are other seetions of the sity that have been injured. What we need is to have the whole city planned and residential ~ and other weas clearly defined.' He chided the delegation with the (act that they made no protest over the Canada Bread Company building a stable in west Oshawa in a residential section. He pointed out that the owners of $3,000 residen- es held 'thein homes with as much affection as the owners of $20,000 astablishments. Major Hodgins asked permission to speak and he declared that the mayor's remarks had aroused his ire. "I have a bit of Irish in me and the mayor's statement has got un- der my skin." » He pointed out that tlie delega- tion was not there solely in its own behalf, but to emphasise the need of city-wide town planning ¢ with reference to residential areas, and that the citizens of King street east were prepared to support any move in that directoin. They were, howev- er, confronted with a problem which they had every reason to he- lieve had heen settled some time ago. As taxpayers theyhad theright to ask Councilgto take action in a matter of such vital concern to them and their investments. The matter was finally referred to the city solicitor, with instructions to prepare a by-law that would cov- er the present situation yet be in such form that the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board would consid- er it.

The lateness of the hour and the absence of several aldermen prevented the matter being as fully discussed as was anticipated. It is expected that the question will he threshed out at Thursday night's ad- journed session. In connection with the building of a sewage disposal plant which the city is being urged to' make a start on hy the Ontario ministry of health, City Engineer Smith pointed -out that the Jimportance of the undertaking justi: fied him in informing the Council that special engineering service would pro- bhably be required to work under his direction.

A request from the Bell Telephone Company for permission to erect new lines on William and Mary street with reference to the new General Motors office building was referred to the City Property Committee. Ald. Marks, in connection with the fire chief's report of poor building con- struction by certain outside builders which the fire chief had to order torn down and rebuilt, announced that he would move at the Thursday night adjourned session that a proper build- ing by-law for the City of Oshawa be drawn up by the City Solicitor, DISCUSS SUBWAY QUESTION THURSDAY (Continued from page 1) there were but nine aldermen pres- ont. He cautioned tlie Council that the subway plan would be weaken- ed, rather than strengthened, by car- rying through such a definite mo- tion without practically the whole Council being in attendance. Mayor Pretson solved the matter in the interests of a meticulous rec- ord by suggesting that the Council adjourn until Thursday evening when absent aldermen could either be present or offer no just criticism on any action which might be taken. Adjournment was moved according- ly, and the Council session broke up at 11.62 p.m. Citizens! petitions were presented by Ex-Mayor G. D. Conant and, on assenting motion, addressed the al- dermen at length in favor of im- medialé subway construction. Small Cost The features of his address was a statement of estimated costs in terms of taxes and the offer of land for the widening of Simcoe South to Lakeview Park; and a right of way across properties owned by himself and {wo other citizens which would permit the opening of the, road through Lakeview Park to Park Road which, in turn, intersects awa. As owner of considerable front- age on one side of Simcoe South to Lakeview Park, and as evidence of his good faith in urging subway con- struction, Mr. Conant offered the City of Oshawa a 14 foot strip of land from his propeséies in order that the street may he widened to of himself and other property own- ers concerned, Mr. Conant offered west of Lakeview Park which would permit the opening up of a rgrd from the end of Simcoe South to Park Rond which, in turn, runs attached to his gift. The questions of costs for the building of the snhway was present- ed by Mr. Conant on a taxation bas- is. He pointed ont that on the bas- is of the 1928 assessment of $15.- on each $1,000 of assessment if the city's share were $40,000, the cost in taxes for each $1,000 of assess- ment would he 19 cents; and if the city's share went as high as $50.000. the tax eost for each $1,000 of tax > would be only 24 cents, Mr. Conant began his address with a fronk statement of his posi- tion in the matter He pointed out that he was an owner of considera- ble 'properties fronting on Simcoe South and elsewhere in South Osh- awa. He was -well aware that very few development plans could come before any civic board without som Commission of which he is chair- man as an example Frank Statement, "If the civic bodies acted solely he stated, "very little progress could be made. tlemen in behalf struction with no idea of cencealing the fact that I am interested as a property owner. But I believe that instead of my action being an im- propriety, it is fortunate for the city that in the matter of widening Sim- coe South from Bloor street to the four poperty owners to deal with. ditions may not exist. Scores of owners might stand in the way of street widening and any other plan for developing South Oshawa." Mr. Conant then made his offer to the Council of frontage which would permit the widening of Sim- coe South by 14 feet to 80 feet, with which he joined the opening of high- way connection between Simcoe Street and Park Road. Development of South Oshawa, he also stated, should be proceeded with~on a town planning basis, and he made a forml offer to the eity that properties be placed under the Town Planning Cominission of Oshawa with full warrant to lay out streets and to designate the size of lots and "locks. That South Oshawa is wirtually isolated by the C.N.R. level erossing was strongly emphasized by Mr. Co- nant. : "You gentlemen have seen the amazizng traffic figures which the local paper--The Oshawa Daily Times--<collected in a week-long check-up of traffic conditions at the crossi Incidentally, The Times deserves commendation for its enterprise in this re- gard, and due consideration should the Kingston Highway west of Osh- | Y, OCTOBER 4, 1927 be given to the fact that this check- up was taken during an off-season period. It was found that the gates were down 2 hours and 23 minutes each 3, owt 2,000 vehicles were held up, "I do not entirely agree with Ald. Harman's statement that the eciti- zens of Cedardale were promised the subway as a part of the bargain for their coming into the eity. It wasn't 'stated in the bond', but I do kno that the citizens of Cedardale had right to believe that as the city grew, it would be given every facil- ity for development, and that the subway would be built when condi- tions warranted it. Bar to "Today, however, Cedardale is virtually isolated. It is a part of a growing and progressive city that is, to all practical ends, another community. "But this question of subway con- struction is not merely one of jus- tice to one district. The problem Is based on the democratic principle of the greatest good to the greatest number, "Oshawa is growing. Its out- skirts are developing, the city is asked to furnish water and sewage mains to suburbs in the township. Rightly, I believe, those requests have been met with refusal by the clvie authorities, "But the city must grow. South of the C.N.I{. tracke is 'aii area where the city already has water mains, trunk sewers, telepones and lights, "With the subway built, that dis- trict cannot fail of immediate de- velopment. I will not say that such development would repay the cify for investment in a subway, but it is certain that the city would be very largely reimbursed through ad- ditional taxes.

"My appeal to you gentlemen of the Council, spoken with all defer- ence to your positions but ®ut of my own knowledge of Council pro- cednrd, is to carry this plan through with despatch. My suggestion is that no time be lost in preparing your case for presentment to the railway executive and Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners. "A statement of costs will not be forthcoming until these bodies are assured that Oshawa means busi- ness. If they are approached on a hasis of converstion, conversation alone will ensue.
