Mr. Fellows in his report men- tioned that the roads were to have "permanent paving." When ask. ed what permanent paving consist- ed, Mr. Fellows stated that there was in reality no such thing. The recommendation was later explod- ed. Approximately two miles ot pavement is to be lald on these two streets, The matter was laid over for further consideration at the first meeting of the council, which will be in the near future, A report of the Finance Commit- tee on estimated costs of water mains, sewers and paving already passed was read. The amount was well over $107,000. Furth- er costs of three streets for which fully signed petitions for pavement have been made were given the cost be- ing about $43,000. The total vote for paving, sewers and water mains for this year to date would then be approximately $120,000. This would bring the total vot- ed by the council for the deben- tures up to date up to half mil- lion mark. The cost to the town per year on these local improve- ments is estimated at ahout one and a half mills or less, The costt to property owners is some $7.- 500 per year, The question of laying a water main to the Cream of Barley camp was, after some little discussion, laid on the ta- hle.

E. Stevenson, honored resident of the district, and whose farm is about a mile away from the Booher resi- dence, Vernon, Booher, 20 years old, who found his mother, brother and two hired men lying dead around the house and barn, shot through the heads, is being held as a ma- terial witness, Police investiga- tors state that the arrest of young Booher is merely routine since he was the first to reach the scene of the tragedy. An empty shell from a .308 rifle has also been found by the police, It was picked up in the dining room where the killer had appar- ently reloaded his rifle, but al- though search was made for other shel] cases this was the only one found, indicating that the slayer had taken time to carefully clear up all possible clues. The single cartridge case, apparenty over- looked, may be the slender clue by which the police wil] he able to fix the crime on the guilty one.

Chief Gunson was suspicious that an attempt might be made to short circuit the "wet" cargo back to 'Whitby on account of the proximity of the 12th of July celebration, Clear- ance papers for 120 cases were issued and the little boat left the harbor on the morning of the 12th bound for some American port with the full shipment supposedly on board. It was later discovered however that 60 cases of liquor still remained on the truck which had been left at the harbor in charge of the driver who gave his name as Ted Raymond, 55 Albert street, Kitchener. Ray- mond told the police that he had been ordered by a man named Young, of Toronto, to stay in Whitby with the balance .of the shipment. He could offer no explanation but made a state- ment to Chief Gunson declaring that the matter was "funny business to him and a mystery." Both the truck and its contents were seized, while an examination proved that the heer was contained in bags, enclosed in wooden cases. Police state that this is the usual way of shipping "wet goods" across the water to thirsty Americans as in the event of the rum boat being chased by a United States revenue cutter, the liquor may he dropped overboard and will sink to the lake bottom. Once free from the revenue cutter the rum boat may return to the spot where it emptied its cargo and fish it up again, Without the bags tHe cases might float and be picked up by the rum-chaser as evidence against the exporters, Magistrate J.

The export of liquor from the Whitby harbor to the United States, although legal, is not looked upon with favor here and it is interesting to note that it decreased to a remarkable extent during the past year, ARRANGE PUBLIC RECEPTION FOR HON.

The charge was originally laid against Ralph H. Vie- kery, also of Oshawa, as a, result of an accident which occurred on Brock street south, two weeks ago last night, when a car containing Cutler and Vickery sideswiped a car driven by J. Copeland, Whitby, as it was about to turn into a driveway. Both young men had chauffeurs' licenses, it is alleged, and the police assumed that Vickery was the driver at the time of the accident when he showed his license. It was ex- plained in court however that Vie- kery had not been in the habit of driving but that his chum Cutler usually drove for him, Cutler was anxious to admit that he had been in charge of the machine on this particular occasion, E, L. Vickery, 198 King street east, prominent Osh- awa citizen, represented his son and his son's friend. He attempted to show that the onus for the accident will have charge of both services in the United Church, Sunday, was upon Copeland as he had not NATIONAL got far enough over to the centre of the road before making the turn. The young men claimed that they could not pass Copeland on his right side for this reason and were forced to pass him on his left. They were unable however to avoid his car. When asked how fast he was driv- ing, Fred Cutler estimated the specd to be 25 miles per hour. His Woi- ship pointed out that this was in excess of the speed limit and con- sequently found him guilty. Mr. | Vickery paid the fine as he consider- ed that the chum had been helping his son. He gave notice he would appeal the case.
