Bros, Optimistic as to Real Estate Activity in 1928 That an astonishing number of enquiries for Oshawa real estate have been coming into this city from widely varying points, dis a statement of a member of the Ly- cett real estate firm to The Osh- awa Daily Times, last evening. Even though this is usually comn- sidered a rather off time of the year for real estate sales, prospecis are growing every day, and 1928 is confidently expected to be the biggest this city has known. Even Miami, Florida, is inter. ested in Oshawa, Not only ane, but several enquiries from this and other Florida cities have been received here. Massachusetts and Dayton, Ohio; Cleveland and De- troit; Pontiac and Cincinnati, all have men within their limits who want to know what there is here for them. Even business men have been looking over sites for possible factories, which may pos- sibly locate here this summer, In anticipation of a banner year, the Lycett firm have recently com- pleted alterations to their offices at Celina and King streets, This includes the dividing of their floor space into individual offices, to fa- cilitate handling of their business. COBOURG HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS To Provide for Deep Water Navigation Contemplated By Government Cobourg, Feb, 10,-- Following a request from the owners of the big coal barge Coalfax, which un- loaded coal in Cobourg last fall for the Canada Cement Co. at Lakefield, the department of pub- lic works has had engineers make a report on the desirability of deepening Cobourg harbor to a depth of 18 feet. At present there is a depth of fifteen feet, six inches, and to deepen it to the required depth would require the cutting out of two feet of rock. The owners of the Coalfax have stated that it is their intention te bring in a number of eargoes of roal for the various Canuda Ce- ment plants through Cobourg har- bor, while Mr, Robert Hicks will also bring in his hard coal for Ceniral Ontario by the harbor, It is understood that the engineers who have been here have recom- mended that the harbor he deep ened to a depth of 19 feet, This latter depth is regarded as the re- quired depth in view of the fact that in the next few years the deepening of the St. Lawrence waterways will be proceeded with, and ocean-going vessels will he able to proceed up Lake On- tario and the Welland Canal. Kingston, Toronto, and Cobourg Harbors will then be regarded as government harbors, with the possibility that Cobourg harbor will, in an arrangement with the town, which owns the harbor, be taken over as a government bar- bor. The entire harbor will then have to be reconstructed. This will mean that the present plan of rebuilding the esplanade will have to be abandoned, as the founda- tions of the esplanade, with the deepening of the harbor will have to go down to the depth nf the water in the harbor. The cribs at present supporting the esplanade are built on sand hot- tom, and do not go down to bed- rock. The Sentinel-Star, in view of what it has learned in this re- gard, would copsider 1g inadvis- able for the town to ask the goy- ernment at this jmpcture to pro- ceed with the rebuilding of the esplapade, but to wait until the government's plans in connection with the improvement of the bar- bor have been considered, and 2 definite policy decided on. It would be money thrown away if the esplanade is proceded with now, if later it is found advisable to deepen &he harbor. With the deepening of the St. Lawrence waterways and the opening short- Iy of the new Welland it would be foresight on. the the part of the Cobourg council and citize to hold Off in 88Y demands on the government until it fs definitely known wi the future finten- tions of government are in regar to Cobourg harbor, If the 169 | town can get bettetr harbor ar- rangements by waiting a year or 80 it would be advisable to do go DISCOVER BLOOD SOAKED FODDER Clue May Be Provided By Straw from Barn at the Scene of Five Barrie, Ont,, Feb, 10,--Inspector Rae and Sergeant Creasy returned tonight from the scene of Sunday's fire at Tottenham, in which Asa Robertson, aged farmer, and his daughter, Mrs. Ruby Martin, lost their lives, The officers brought back with them exhibits of blood: soaked burnt straw and clothing from the spot where Robertson's body was found, There are Indications that he was badly injured before the fire, but the body was too badly hurned to establish this. Evidence so far points to Mrs. Martin having been upstairs in the barn where the fire started, and had never reached her father after the alarm was given at 7 o'clock In the morning. Meanwhile, George O'Neil, the hired man held as a material wit- ness, is slowly recovering from burns he recelved at the fire and from gashes he inflicted on himself in a police cell when he attempted suicide. Apart from a few inco- herent mutterings he has made no attempt to talk to police officers on constant guard, Doctors say he wilt recover, The police admit that they are not vanced toward a solution of the mystery as a result of their visits to the farm, and that any dedue- tions are pure copjecture, Mrs, Robertson, 'tco, is in such a shape as to be unable to talk to anyone, even the police, The inquest, slated for Monday next, has been post- poned indefinitely, THE STRONGHOLD OF WINTER SPORTS The story is told of a well known Toronto Insurance man who with his wile went to Queber for the winter sports, neither of them going outside the hotel once until they left. While their friends find a great desl of humor in the fact, they unconsciously pay great tribute to the "Chateau, Fropten- ac." There is usually so muck to see and do ipside this hospit- able hostelry, that there are no dull moments for any guest who chooses to remain within its tur- reted walls, but for those who would rather participate in the outdoor ammsements, every facil- ity is provided in the way of per- sonal attemtion and real equip- ment and comprehensive programs cre arranged by the Sports Di- rector to take advantage of .the conditions and exigencies of the day.
