Swanson intro- duced the by-law, which is a copy of one passed by the township of York and modified slightly to suit conditions in this city, It provides that no owner, tenant, etc, of pre- mises within the city, or person res- ponsible for a steam boiler in which a fire i9 burning, or who operates or permits a furnace or fire to oper- ate, shall permit ghe emission of an opaque or dense Smoke for a period of moge than six minutes in any hour, It further provides that this shall not apply to the reduction, mining or smelting of ores, or min- crals, or the manufacture of cement, or to dwelling houses except apart- ment houses, The by-law will have to be pub- lished in the Ontario Gazette and in The Oshawa Daily Times, "the local daily newspaper," for four consecy- tive weeks before any person is liable under its provisions. The penalty provided is a fine of not more than $50, with costs. Alderman Conant objected to the by-law being read a third time at last night's meeting, hecause he was not sure that it would not interfere with industry within the city. The by-law, he said, has not received the consideration of a committee of the council, nor had it been given suffi- cient publicity. It should be laid over for further consideration, he contended and therefore moved that it be laid over until the first coun- cil meeting in June, Alderman Swanson declared that Mr. Conant's points were "not well taken." The question was before the council several times last year, it was referred to the Board of Health, who gave. it fullest consideration, and this by-law was the result of the best opinion of the Board. The mem- bers of the council all see that they must not do things that would work against industry, yet they must not do those things that will be a detri- ment to the people in the neighbor- hood of these industries. No one single thing that has been before the council this year has been given more publicity than the smoke nuisance, Mr. Swanson continued. He reminded Alderman Conant that, in The Oshawa Daily Times' report of the Board of Health meetings, it was stated that the by-law would be pass- ed on to the council for considera- tion and that it was remarkable that no one had even read it, The coun- cil should respect thie Board of Health who asked the council to pass this by-law. It was aimed at stopping a nuisance, not at the injury of any business enterprise. Alderman Carnell said that he couldn't support the by-law until it had been given more consideration. Alderman Conant remarked, in his opinion, no factory in Oshawa could come within the terms of the by-law. Aldeman Stacey remarked that, while council had heard a lot about the smoke nuisance they had heard very little about the by-law. Alderman Swanson then withdrew his motion for third reading of the by-law, stating that he - would re- introduce it at the next council meet- ing. In the meantime, he would see that every member of the council received a copy of the by-law. STR.

F, Cowan property on Simcoe street south was postponed indefinitely by the city council at their adjourned meeting last night. It is improbable that the by-law will be again introduced until the latter part of June, Alderman George Morris, chair- man of the Fire Protection and City Property committee asked per- mission to introduce the bylaw, providing for the purchase, of the Cowan property for municipal pur- poses and for borrowing money fcr this purpose, Alderman G, D. Conant drew attention to the words 'Municipal purposes', and stated that it 'was not wise to proceed with the by- law unless a clear definition of these words could be incorporated in it, The by-law should be allowed to stand, be said, until F, W, Cowan returns to the c:ty, when he could be consulted and a fair in- terpretation of "municipal pur- poses" for which he. would sell the property at the price offered, could be arrived at, Ald, Conant added that, while he had expected that Mr. Cowan would have returned within a short time, he had just learned that he would not be in the city until about June 15. Ald. Conant then moved, second- ed by Ald Morris, that the reading of the by-law be postponed in- definitely, and that no action be taken at the present time on the question, The motion carried unani- mously, WEATHER Moderate to fresh northwest winds fair and somewhat cooler Hagen Leads Jurado by One At 54th Hole | (Cable Service To The Times By Canadian Press) Sandwich, Eng., May 11. --Turning in a score of 72 . for the morning round to- day, Walter Hagen had the lead of one stroke on Jose Jurado of Argentine at the end of 64 holes of British open golf championship, which will be concluded to- day.
