Meeting With Opposition Bylaw Designating King] Street East from Charles to Ritson Road a Residen- tial Area Held Over Till Next Meeting to Allow Property Owners to Peti- tion Council The question of permitting tha erection of a service station at Rit. son road and King street was be- fore the city council at a special meeting last night, and was finally laid on the table until the regular meeting on May 7, after consider- able discussion. A delegation of residents of this vicinity vigorously opposed granting permission to erect the service station, while J, P. Mangan, representing the Brit- {sh-American O11 Co., addressed the counell in favor of the move, A by-law. had been prepared designating King street east from Charles street: to Ritson road a residential street, but a motion of R. Alloway and A. J. Graves laying the whole question over until the next regular meet- ing of tha council automatically disposed of this by-law for the evening. The motion reads: "That, in view of the understand. ing in writing given by J. P. Man- gan, solicitor, on behalf of the British-American Oil Co., Ltd., with reference to an application of that company for a permit for a gaso- line and ofl service station at the south-west corner of King street east and Ritson road squth, in or- der to give the property owners af- fected and others interested an op- portunity to petition the council either for or against the applica~ tion, the sald application be laid on the table until the next meeting of his council" Defer Action The undertaking which Mr. Man- gan, on behalf of the British-Am- eriean Oil Co., entered into with the counefl, is: "In pursuance of the instructions of the British-American Oil Co, Ltd, I hereby undertake on be- Alderman A. halt of the sald company, as thelr LUMBER CEMENT LIME PARISTONE 3 HARDWOOD FLOORING "Everything from Foundation to Roof" DOORS | INSULEX ROOFING 4 GYROC g Please Note-- The Cinderella will MARCEL Your Hair, on Saturday, for 65¢ oefeealsnfesforlrriooded Cinderella Dress Shoppe 1533 Simcoe stre South individual requirements.

PHONE 68 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1928 solicitor, that they shall not take any proceedings in the matter of the erection or excavation for their proposed gas or ofl station at the south-west corner of Rit- son road and King street east in Oshawa until after the next meet- ingn of this council on May 7, 1928." Dr. F. L. Henry was the first speaker of the delegation, stress- ing the danger to school children if the service station were erect- ed on this corner, and also stat- ing his opinion that property value in the vielnity would drop one- third. Norman Mechin also sup- ported these contentions. J. A. McG@ibbon, appearing as a private citizen, stated that this is the third time that he has come before the council on the service station ques- tion, and that on the two previous occasions council took action that he among others, had advised, The council should deal fear- lessly with the question, he declared. The school children are of vital importance, and a service station at this corner would be a menace to the safety of pupils of King street school. In reply to Alderman Graves' statement that the business sec- tion would naturally grow east- ward along King street, and that in that case property values would rise, Mr. McGibbon interjected the query, "Why start down there?" The erection of stores in the vie- infty might enhance the property values, hut a service station would not do this, Trustees Opposed A letter was also read from T, B. Mitchell, chairman of the Board of Education, stating that several members of the board were, through the letter, expressing thelr opposition to the proposed service station, and a communication from H. A. Brown, general manager of General Motors, opposing the strue- ture, was also presented to the council, On behalf of the company, Mr, Mangan stated that a by-law de- signating certain portions of King street onst as a restricted residen- tial area had been passed hy the eity council three months ago, and that If the city established the practice of changing its by-laws to sult the wish of any individual that was in opposition, they would Le continually asked to do so, 'I'he service station that was to he erect ed would not be an eyesore, but would improve the appearance of thea corner, and would be fitted with special f{llumination that would considerably brighten the corner at night, He was of the opinion that property values would not be depreciated, The business section of the city was hound to travel eastward, ha declared, and when all of King street east to Ritson road was being transform- od Into business property, residents of this section would greatly hene- fit thereby. In answer to Alderman Swan- son's query as to whether he had searched the title of the® property, Mr. Mangan replied that he had only been retained that afternoon, and had had little time to do any investigating, Mr, Swanson then stated that the corner lot had heen sold previously with restrictions FLORIDA MENACED BY RISING WATER Unestimated Millions of Dollars Damage is Al. ready Caused Atlanta, Ga., April 26.--Every precaution was being taken to avert disaster as tho crest of the most devastating flood in many years bore swiftly down upon the flat coast lands of Georgia, Alabama and northwestern Florida, After causing unestimated mil- lions of dollars dawdge to the up- per plains and taking at least four Hyes; the raging currents piled in- to the tortouus peds of the lower rivers and spread widely over the fertile lowlands finundating or threatening towns and villages and compelling evacuation of the popu lace, Flood warnings were broadcast to the {inhabitants of the lower Okmulgee River in Georgla, while the population of Newton, (ia., on the Flint River, fearing a repetls tion of 1925's disaster, fled, Flomanton, Ala., was menaced by the rising waters of the Kscam- bla River and tributary streams and 20 miles to the north Brewtop, wealthy lumber and creosote eity, was inundated with nearly a thous- and persons driven from their lromes.

It was not an exciting fully thoughtful. It relates to the centenary of the National Scottish Church in Regent Square, London, which will be re-dedicated by the Moderator-elect of the United Free Church of Scotland, writes Rev. D, Morse-Boycott, in the London Ref- eree. The actual date of the opening of the National Scottish Church was May 1, 1827, and its centenary year is therefore on the wane. It gives one the chance to ask what became of Irving's plates. Edward Irving, the first mrinister, designed two silver plates for the reception of the weekly offering, and pre- sented them, They were engraven as follows: These two plates I send to the National Scottish Church, London, on this the 11th of May, 1827, the day -of its opening, that they may stand on each side of the door to receive the offerings of the Poor, and all other gifts of the congre- gation of the Lord in all time coming while He permits, And if at any time, which God forbid, the fountain of the people's. charity should be dried up, and the Poor of the Lord's House be in want of hread, or His House under any res- traint of debt, I appoint that they shall be melted into shillings and gix-pences for the relief of the same, so far as they will go, EDWARD IRVING, AM, V.D.M, Minister of the Natidnal Scotch Chureh, London, Edward Irving was cast out for heresy. Were the silver salvers melted down into sixpences? Nobody guessed what lay hefore him when obscure, but gifted, he was given charge of a church in Hatton garden, attended by a tiny handful of Scotsmen. There he labored. There he lived in oh- scurity. Dut one Sunday, instead of an odd two dozen Scotsmen, the whole of fashionable London de- scended from its carriages into Hatton garden, fought for places in the small kirk, ousted the regu- lar worshippers, and overflowed by scores into the street, The crush was worse on the next Sun- day. The obscure Irving leaped into fame. . He grappled with it, After months of stress there arose the great kirk in Regent square. Even when the novelty of Irving had worn off there was a usual congregation of one thousand. The Eimplest reason caused Ir- ving's star to rise. A Sir James Mackintos, had heard a sermon by Irving, A phrase stuck in his mind. He repeated it to Canning. Canning went over to hear the preacher. Shortly afterwards there was a debate in the Commons upon the payment and high talent, Can- ning had happened to mention that he had heard a brilliant sermon by a Scottish minister who was poor- ly paid. He mentioned Irving by name. And Society descended up- on him, was whipped for its sins and came again and again. Such was the man who could fill his church with a thousand worshippers at 6 a.m. on a week- day morning. day after day, a cen- tury ago in London; who thunder- ed from the pulpit of wrath to come for sinners, his eyes ablaze with Johannine vision; or softly spoke of rest for the sons of God: who gave himself and his sub- stance without stint; whose mar- ried life was an idyll of true love. softened by the hand of sorrow; who wrote great books, long bur- in the oblivion which is the though not always the des- erts, of theological treatises; who was accused of heresy, tried and thrust frome his Church; who, led deeper and deeper into the labyrin- thine ways of prophecy, though never from the path of Charity. helped to establish that movement which had begun from many guart- ers, as far removed as Surrey is from Scotland, and converged into a Church called "Catholick and Apostolick," with 12 Apostles se- parated to minister to the world. with a mission to Christendom to awaken it to the imminence of the coming of the Lord, with a genius for liturgy-making and symbolism. with the evidence of "tongues" at every service, within which, after its birth of promise, wide exten- sion and a common life which seemed to combine both Primitive excellence and Catholic method, he died, while it was yet on the flood fate, | is no space. tide of success.
