At their special meeting last night the city council adopted the report of the Board of Works, recommending that the present pavement from Ritson Road to the city limits be reconditioned and resurfaced, and widened from twenty to thirty feet. During this winter and spring, sewers have been laid along this stretch of highway, in preparation for the widening of the street, Ac- cording to the recommendation, the present pavement will be re- paired and reconditioned to make a serviceable base for an asphaltic surface, then three inches of asph- alt will be laid as a new surface. 'When finished, the pavement will be 30 feet wide, and complete with curb and gutter. The work will h} constructed as a local. improve- ment, with the city as a whole pay- ing the annual charges until the present debentures on the existing papyvement have expired, after which period the usual frontage rates will be levied against the property owners, Construction of five stretches of sanitary sewers, on streets in the southern part of the city, was also passed by the council, . They are: St, Lawrence avenue from Mill street to 240 feet south; Cubert street from Hillside avenue to Tre- sane street; Tresane street from Cubert street to 335 feet west; Hillside avenue from lot 8 to lot 4, plan 248; Clarke street from end of present sewer to Stacey avenue, In regard t)> improvement on Ox- ford street, Alderman John Stacey, chairman of the Board of Works, replied to a question of Alderman D. Douglas that this street had re- received the consideration of the Board of Works, and that the work would be done as soon as possible The condition of the streets had made it impossible to do anything as yet, however, A report of City Engineer W. C Smith regarding Local Improve- ments completed last year or early this year, was adopted; and the necessary construction by-laws were ordered prepared.

OSHAWA KINSMEN TORONTO GUESTS Hamilton Club Also is En. tertained By Queen City \ Kinsmen The Oshawa Kinsmen's Club jour- neyed to Toronto last evening, accep- ting the invitation of the Toronto organization téndered at the Hamil ton meeting recently, A large num- ber from the Hamilton and Oshawa clubs were present, Inspector LaRose of the Royal North West Mounted Police, whose headquarters are now located at Tor- onto, addressed the meeting. He is the inspector who became famous some years ago, when two priests laboring in the Arctic Circle, disap- peared and murder was suspected. Inspector LaRose led the contingent that travelled to the barren wastes of the North in search of the Es kimos, believed to have perpetrated the dead, and in the parlance of the police, "got his man" or in this case, men as two Eskimos were appre- hended, The Eskimos were found quilty when brought before a court at Edmonton, but lated their sentence was com- muted, The inspector told the story of the chase through the regions of ice and snow, and told of their meeting with the Steffanson party, then en- deavouring to reach the North Pole, He gave a graphic and moving pictorial of the urge behind the splendid traditions of the finest force in the world, and his address was considered by the meeting, as one of the most fascinating that they had ever heard; The "A and B Battery Boys" Kl and Bob Harvey entertained. Dr, L. E. Hubbell, president of the Osh- awa Club presented Major Bantick, president of the Toronto Ciub, with a cane from the local organization. DAYLIGHT SAVING STARTS ON SUNDAY MORNING AT 12.01 (By Stat Reporter) Whitby, April 27.--Next Satur- day night all Whithy people are ex- pected to advance their clocks and watches one hour so that in com- mon with ether municipalities along the lakeshore, including Toronto and Oshawa daylight saving may be put into effect during the months of May, June, July, August and September. This means that unless local citizens take the precaution to retire earlier than usual they will lose one hour's sleep on Satur- day night, All the schools in town, of course, will be operated aecording to daylight saving time, so that pu- pils who attend from rural points will be required to leave thelr homes an hour earlier. The prin- ciple objection to daylight saving concerns the confusion which aris- es between country and city as the rural districts always cling to stan- dard. TRACTOR AND GRADER BUSY ON STREETS (By Staff Reporter) Whitby," April 27.--The tractor and grader are now being employ- ed for gradiag operations on Byron street south.

This man will serve four roonths in jail on a second offence of intoxication, and have his liguor permit can- celled indefinitely. Magistrate Hind gave him the option of a £200 fine, but police officers state that he could mot raise this amount. Charles, who js janitor in a down town store, was arrested on April 24, and the mext morning pleaded not guilty and. was re- manded for his hearing. This morning two police officers gave evidence tipt they arrested him in the Moonlight Cafe in an intoxi- cated condition, that he was stag- gering and mot at all like his usu- al self. Magistrate Hind accord- ingly convicted him of the of- fence, the second of this aunture within the month. His liquor permit, produced in court, show- ed that he had purchased, from December 15 to April 24, 318 quarts of beer, 45 bottles of whis- key 'and 6 bottles.of wine--well over -190 worth of liguor. in four months, as Magistrate Hind fig- ured. The permit was acoording- ly cancelled. FINED $20 AND COSTS Claud Coombs was assessed. the usual £20 and costs for intoxication in this morning's police court session.

A. J. Swanson the chief spokesmen, At the last regular council meet- ing, the finance committee solemn- ly presented a report including a recommeadation that the Board of Works hurry up their budget for the year, to wit, that they present it to the finance committee not later than February 15 of each year, The clause was passed, also passed on to the Board of Works, Last night, with equal solemnity, the Board of Works repeated the whole clause in their report, and added the rider: "We recommend that the above clause be duly pre- pared as an exhibit to be. framed and hung in the office of the City Engineer." Alderman Swanson--'Now, what does that mean?" Alderman Stacey--"After read- ing the clause through several times, the Board of Works could not see--"' Swanson--"--Couldn't stand--"" Stacey--'"No doubt the man who drafted the clause couldn't under- stand it, You might as well advise the Board of Works to not lay pavements in January; we are aware of what we should and should not do. If the chairman of the finance committee could read--" Swanson--*'I would like the chairman of the Board of Works to stop, right now, using personal language. I am quite as able to read as he is. And, further, the statement requested at the March £4 meeting outlini~g the works for which the Board have received petitions, has, I understand, been furnished to only a few members of the council. Why have the other members not received a copy?" Stacey--"It is partly finished. There is a great deal of work in connection with its preparation." The city engineer, in answer to & question, then explaizied tha the report was one which could not be mimeographed, and that time had permitted only a few to be done by typewriter so far. Alderms Swanson then moved that the clause in dispute be struck out of the Board of Works report, apd that the report as amended be ther adopted. The motion car- ried.

PRINCIPLE WOMEN ORDINATION (Continued from page 1) self might cause disturbance throughout the whole denomination especially since union had been in effect for so short a time. Dr. Dougall thought that the report was paradoxical as the Presbytery, hy accepting it, would approve of tse principle, then immediately take steps to prevent its practical ap- plication. In many .congregations he had foynd that women weve the backbone kha he asked what would happen to the United Church if fit should lose its women members, The Oshawa pastor opined that the reason why the demand for ordina- tion of women candidates was small was because women had never heen in a position to seek ordination..In this he was supported by Rev. Geo. Mason, of Bowmanville, who sec- onded the amendment of the re- port. Rev. R. A. Whattam, of Oshawa, also spoke .in favor of the amend- ment, his contention being that the report said some pleasant things without committing the Presbytery to any definite action. Miss M. Robertson, beaconess in the Oshawa Mission, strongly favored the prin- ciple involved as she pointed out the question was taking pre-emi- nence over the wide world. Rev. C. W. DeMille, of King Street church, Oshawa, thought that such a radi- cal. departure might necessitate a change in the basis of union The maintenance and extension fund committee reported during the aftegnoon that the Preshytery had maintained good standing in its allocation, with the exception of six charges which had failed to come up to expectations. The gen- eral comment was that these par- ticular congregations should hestir themselves to more serious effort lest their example might he follow- WELL KNOWN LOCAL SPORTING WRITER CALLED BY DEATH Jack Nott Dies Today in the Oshawa Hospital from Heart Attack Following an illness of only a few days, Jack Nott, well known resi- dent of Oshawa, died early this af- ternoon at the Oshawa General Hos- pital, He had heen taken ill about a week ago, and it developed more seriously than at first thought, and his death was attributed to a heart attack. Jack Nott was one of the best known and liked residents of Osh- awa, and has lived here practically all his life. He has been identi- fied with sport and the promoting of what is best in sport all his life, and contributed perhaps more than any other individual in Oshawa to the furtherance of his- favorite hobby. It was also a business with him, and he was the Oshawa correspondent for sport to the Mail and Empire, Tor- onto, to the time of his death. He also was sporting editor of the Port Hope Times until recently. He had served on most of the executives of the sporting organiza- tions of Oshawa and the province being secretary of the Central On- tario league for many years after its inception, and also was secretary of the executive of the Ontario Ama- teur Baseball Association for the past few years. The news of his death will come as a shock to his friends of whom he Fhad legion, in the province, and par- ticularly to the many in Oshawa who have each year seen his enthu- siasm for anything that. was new or that would help sport here, flame anew. bed in other localities.

Upon the organization some months ago of a men's class in the Sunday School, Rev. Mr. DeMille consented to become its teacher.

The presentation was made at a meeting of the class "ollowing prayer meeting ia the church Wed- nesday evening. After the business session, the ladies joined the men in the meeting, and a short pre- gram was given. This included a reading by Miss Tresise, a solo by Mr. H. Barker, and some contests.

It is expected that proceedings will, be taken at the same time by the Board of Educa- tion to expropriate the adjoining lands necessary for the extension of the grounds of Centre Street School. This question, of taking expro- priation proceedings in regard to these lands, has been in the air for about five years, and has bee gradually working up to the step taken last night. "Expropriation has been mooted at each of the last few meetings of the city council, and in reply to a letter from City Solicitor J. F.
