Recommendation Refuse to Take Action on Purchase of Land Ajoins ing Town Park -- Coun. Ormiston Charges Reeve With "Being After Him" While Reeve and Deputy Charge That They Had Been Treated Unfairly in the Whitby Paper (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept, 18.--No action will be taken by the town council with regard to the recommenda- tion made at a public meeting, held in the council chambers last Fri- day night, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, urging the council to extend the limits of the town park to Trent street by the purchase of the old factory pro- perty, lying north of the present ark, at a price not exceeding $3,- B00. Such was the tenor of a mo- tion passed by the council at its regular meeting last night. Coun- eillor Mowat in sponsoring the mo- tion, stated that he was pleased with the interest heing manifested by the Chamber of Commerce in eivic matters, but could not see his way clear to urge any action without first gaining the opinion of the people. All members of the council voted for the motion with the exception of Deputy Reeve Un. derwood, who refrained" from ex- pressing any opinion because of his interest in the property, and Reeve Albert Jackson, who has consist- ently recommended that the land be added to the park, and there- fore could not agree with the views held by the other councillors. The communication from the public meeting, sponsored hy tne Chamber of Commerce, was the main issue which came to the coun- ¢il's attention last night as it is a matter of keen interest to the rate- ayers, Before making any motion eeve Jackson wished to hear the opinions of the other members of the council hoard and submitted that the hoard should he guided somewhat by the opinions of the business men who after discussing the question in a public meeting voted unanimously for the recom- mendation as received hy the coun- eil last night, With not one exception, the re- maining councillors held firm 10 the beliefs which they had previ- ously expounded when the propos- ed purchase came to their atten- tion two weeks ago, and was out- voted six to one. Councillor Mo- wat, as chairman of the property committee, was first to speak, He was pleased to note the Interest being taken in the town park. but suggested that if additional space be required the park shonld ex- pand south, pointing out that their was a large piece of land which might be obtained for $1,500. He did not favor action of any kind without first getting the opinion (Continued on Page 2) --- -------------- It is probably much more of a tragedy in some families to lose the keys to the garage than the keys to the house.--Detroit Free | re i 2] TE: Be » » » Renting- Buying-Selling REAL ESTATE transactions of every kind come within our prov ince, We now have an exception- ally attractive list of homes for sale in the most desirable residen- tial section, The list includes new- Iy-built homes as well as yacant, improved properties, Your investi- gation is invited, W.

LEASE CITY LAND TO HOSPITAL HERE Council Approves Giving a 99-Year Lease for Strip as Driveway A 99-year lease on land used by the Oshawa Hospital as a driveway, just cast of the nurses' residence was granted to the Board of Directors of the Hospital by the city council last night. Some discussion was entailed on this clause of the city property com- mittee's report, one or two of the aldermen maintaining that the hospi- tal had asked for only a right-of-way and that the council was giving them more than they had requested. On the explanation of Alderman Morris, chairman of the committee, that the Board had originally asked for a grant of the land, and that a clause in the lease stated that the lease would terminate if the hospital pro- perty should at any time cease to be uscd for hospital purposes, the clause was approved without further com- ment. The land leased to the hospital hoard is part of the city property on the west limit of the bowling green at Alexandra and Simcoe streets. It consists of a strip of land 12 feet in width from Alexandra street to the rear of the hospital building, parellel- ing west side of the bowling green and running just east of the nurses' residence. The annual rental is fixed at the nominal figure of $1 per year. The report of this committee also included a recommendation that the tender of the Dixon Coal Company be accepted, for $13.41 per ton for anthracite coal and $8.15 per ton for Vinton's lump coal. In regard to the claim of Jerry Haley that a fence on his property on McMillan drive had been broken by city employees engaged in making a fill for the extension of McMillan drive, the committee recommended that no action be taken, The committee was authorized to have two lights placed on the city parking ground between Bagot and Metcalie streets, and four lights on Simeoe street hetween Thomas street and Lakeview Paark and one light on Thomas street on the last pole west, The committee was also in- structed to obtain tenders for the supply of eleven winter overcoats for city firemen and to make the necessary repairs to the boiler of the heating plant at the municipal build- ings. A by-law was passed by the coun- cil closing part of Elena street. This by-law was made necessary by the fact that residents on both sides of the street have built out over the street line, and to make it legal for them to hold the property the coun- cil has closed the street for a width of eight feet on each side, and will sell th strip of land to the property owners affected. On motion of Alderman Alchin, the council requested the Police Commis- sions and the Board of Education to arrange for protection of school chil- dren crossing King and Simcoe streets, especially at noon hour. The Board of Works was instruct- ed, on . motion of Alderman Boddy and Douglas, to construct a bridge and footpath across the street on John street for the convenience of school children crossing. to Centre street school. Thi land was recently expropriated by the city. City Clerk Hare was authorized to sign cheques and notes for the city in the ahsence of City Treasurer Blackburn, who will be out of town for about ten days. The more churches and kitch- ens are improved the more people OPENING MEETING SIMCOE ST, LEAGUE Last evening was the opening City to Pay 40 Percent Cost Paving Frank to Additional Program to Cost $60,000 -- List of Streets Petitioned for Paving Pre- sented in Committee's Re- port Which Could Not Be Paved Until 1929--Wood and Leslie Streets and Kingsdale Ave, Included Approval was given by the city council last night to a bylaw diwid- ing the cost of paving Simcoe street south, from ' Frank to Thomas street, so that 40 per cent. of the cost will be paid by the city and 60 per cent by the property owners whosa lands abut on the street, Considerable discussion waged on the question, and it was passed on- ly by the favorable vote of the may- or, which gave the necessary three- fourths vote of the council. The bylaw has to receive the approval of the Ontario Railway and Muni- cipal Board before it is finally ef- fective. The pavement to be laid on this section of Simcoe street south will be 18 feet wide without curb and gutter, and as it was explain- ed to the council, it will be laid at the west side of the street so that, in future, the Oshawa Rail- way tracks may be laid next to this section of pavement and a further 18 foot width of pavement laid to | the east. This further stretch of Mivement is made possible by Ald- erman Conant's gift of a strip of land along the east side of Simcoe street south from the city farm north to Cedardale. Y) Alderman Macdonald opened" the discussion on the matter, reiterat- ing his opposition to the proposi- tion. No street in the eity should he picked out to benefit by a 60-40 basis of cost division in regard to a paving program, he contended when the rest of the city was being paved on a 100 per cent basis. Ald- erman Morris added that, when this property was divided into city lots, the residents would have con- siderable benefit, over ratepayers in other sections of the eity. It might be a bad precedent, he thought, The enormous amount of traffic over this road from Oshawa to Lakeview park was one of the chief considerations of the Board of Works in first recommending this basis for the division of the cost of paving: this part of the street, said Alderman Carnell. It was not like an outlying street, hut partook of the nature of a Provincial hizhway in a sense. It would be nf great benefit to the tourist camp, and it was only fair that the city should bear a part of the cost. The cost of repairing and oiling this section of the street each year was considerably more than $400, which would be the city's annual share of the construction cost, said Alderman Alloway, The develop- ment of Lakeview park has reach- ed a point where it deserves this tangible recognition of the enunefl, If the property is subdivided, the city will have an opportunity to as- sess the property owners for the full amount of the cost of widen- ing the street and putting in gntt- er and curh, he said, It would be cheaper to pave the street now under this agreement than to try to keep it in repair, was Alderman E. Jackson's opinion. ""The cost of oiling it and keeping it in repair is nearer $4,000 than $400" he declared. Alderman Conant outlined the scheme which the Board of Works intended to pursue in regard to this street. They were having ap- meeting of the Simcoe Young Peo- ple's Society for the Fall season. Nearly one hundred young people including many school teachers and their friehds attended the meeting. The first part of the program was taken up after everyone was wel- comed by the President, Mr. An- derson, by music and literary num- bers. Miss Johnson rendered a piano solo; Mr. Stevenson of the Collegl- ate Ipstitute, gave two very hum- orous readings, and Cyril Weyrich sang a very appropriate solo. The meeting was then addressed by Rey. E. Harston, LL.B. who took for his text the "Jack and Jill" rhyme, after which he lead in a short sing-song during which interval Miss Gertrude Newman and Mr. Knight, principal %f Ritson Road school, were preparing games Mr. Knight and Miss New- man conducted the games, after which refreshments were served. Next Monday evening Rev. Mr, Harston intends to conduct an open forum to which all those who are interested are invited. PICNIC SUPPER BY CHURCH GROUPS Christian Endeavor and Church Choir Have Pleasant Gathering The Christian Endeavor Society and the choir of the Christian Church held a picnie supper at the farm of Warren Dearborn, Bloor | proximately half of the road to the lake paved this year with the in- tention of probably paving the bal- ance next year. There were no in- tersections in this whole stretch of road, and the cost of paving inter- sections alone in any other part of city in a pavement of this length would amount to large part of $400 per year, Besides, with the Oshawa Railway tracks at the east side of the street as they are now, this whole side of the street is of no use for anything except farming purposes and thus has no value as prospective city residential lana. On the yeas and nays being tak- en, Alderman Macdonald recorded the only nay vote, Alderman Mor- ris, E. Jackson, Crawford, Boddy, Alloway, Graves, Alchin, Douglas S. Jackson, Conant and Carnell supporting she bylaw. The vote of Mayor Preston then gave the twelfth vote necessary to give the three-quarters vote of the whole council necessary to pass the mea- sure. After the supper was over the members of the choir held choir practice, while the Society played games. Following the sports program, Mr. R. Bennett presented Miss Pearl Fletcher, a member of, the choir and of the Christian Endea- vor Society, and daughter of Rev. W. P. Fletcher, pastor of the Chris- tian church, who left yesterday for the Teachers' College, Columbia University, N.Y. City, with a black leather club bag. Miss Fletcher was completely surprised but gave a most fitting address expressing her regret at leaving her many friends and associates in Oshawa, but wishinz the societies with which she was connccted here the street west, on Friday evening. greatest success, Simcoe St. Thomas Sts. COUNCIL AGOUIRES LAND TO EXTEND TNO CITY STREETS Take Up Options on Pro- perty of F, W, Cowan and Albert St. Church Opening of Olive avenus from Albert street west to Simco2 street, and of Celina street south to Olive avenue, was approved last night by the city council. The opening of these streets will entail an expen- diture of $8,300, half of which will be met by an assessment on the adjacent properties benefiting dir- ectly by the improvement, and alf by the city as a whale. The opening of these streets has been urged for several wecks by the official hoard of Albert strect United Church, who requested the council to make a decision on the matter because they were arrang- ing for the erection of the new Al bert street church and the cxten- PRONOTEDTOAN | INPORTANT POST AT REGINA OFFICE W.

Gowdy, comptroller, yesterday afternoon honored W. H. James, who left last night for Regina where he will be comptroller of the Regina offices of General Motors. The gathering was a very informal one, and included members of the office staff who have been assceiated with Mr. James during the nine years that he has been employed by Gen- eral Motors oi Canada in this city, Mr. Gowdy gave a short address to Mr. James, speaking of the pleasant associations that his colleagues had experienced with him, and expressing the hope that he would be successful in his new position. A fine club bag, together with a large box of chocolates as a gift to Mrs. James, were presented by E. B, Mothersill and W, Pearson. Mr. and Mrs. James left last night for Regina, where Mr. James will enter at once upon his duties as comptroller of the Regina branch. He has resided in this city for about nine years, coming to Oshawa from Trenton on his acceptance of a posi- tion in the accounting department of General Motors of Canada.

An offer of the church board, whereby they will purchase the house on the Wilson ty for $500 and will in addition give to the city land worth ap- proximately $1,000 for the exien- sion of the streets, was accepted by the council. To complete the purchase of the necessary land to push thease streets thrqugh to their more nat- ural terminations, the couneil last night closed the option of 8,000 which they had taken on the Wil- son property for the extension of Olive avenue, and the option of $800 given hy F.

Even at that early hour when only those concerned with preparation work were on hand, over one hundred cars and trucks were about the gates and on the grounds while about three hundred people were arranging their ex- hibits or erecting tents. None of the languid sight seeing crowd was in evidence in the morning, that was to come in the afiernoon and will be much jn evidence tonight and tomorrow, Every inch of available space building and an auxiliary tent has has been used in the main exhibit Leen erected to the south to house the vegetable d varius garden products including a few flowers. The major part of the flowers however are in their usual place in the north wing of the main building. So great are the number of en- tries which have been received this year that in some classes the judges will find as many as fifteen exhibitors in the one event. Classes in which over seven entries have been received are almost common which less than three have entered. It is expected, although the secre- tary, Charles Mason has not yet made a complete check-up, that over 3,000 entries have been made in the various events which are enumerated on the prize list. The race track in front of the grandstand, in preparation for the jumping exhibition to be put on by hunting horses owned hy R. S. McLaughlin, has already been worked into first class shape and is now ready for the much-looked- forward-to event.

Tonight alco the midway will swing into being and already it promises to be the most elaborate ever built in Bowmanville, Stands and hooths of every kind and de- reription will spring up as if by magic this afternoon and will be open for business this evening as well as for tomorrow. Most of the judging will be com- pleted this afternoon although it is readily acknowledged that the judges have no easy job on their hands. Tomorrow, the big day of the fair, will see all the exhibits in their place with the prize win- ners well to the fore bearing red, blue and yellow tickets or resettes. All roads are expected to lead to the Town Park, Bowmanville this evening and tomorrow, for the biggest and best fair yet to be held in the history of the Society.

The flames were curbed in their leap upward and kept in the basement of the Bassett store, A small dam- uge however, will result from tha smoke nuisance. Apartments above the stores were unaffected by the fire, and no damage was reported from the:e sources, About two weeks ago Fire Chief Elliott with Fire Prevention Of« ficer Hobbs made a tour of inspec tion of the business seclion of the city around this point, visiting the Bassett store in their regular rounds. Chief Elliott stated that the basement of the Bassett store was in fairly good condition, no orders having been issued to Mr, Bassett to make a general cleans up of this part of his store, How= ever the Chief said, a small pile of refuse had collected at the bottom of a chute from the first floor to basement, where the Dusbane floor cleaner, and oily material had been deposited, The flame had spread from the defective pipe to this material, and had created such a smudge that it was some time be. fore the firemen were able to force their way into the basement with- out endangering their lives, As it was, a number of them had to gome outside and recuperate from the effects of the deadening cave bon dioxide. A number. of knifa handles had gotten in the way of the flames at some point or other and the odour and cutting vapour emitted from the bMrning of the handles further hampered the fighting of the fire. The blaze was gotten under con- control however, and the extent of the damage in the cellar of the store estimated, The floor space was inundated with a foot of water. The entrances to the hase- ment in the Bassett store were made by an outside window on King street through the sidewalk, and through a stairway in the rear of the store itself, This latter en- trance was ®ather more of a hindr- ance than a help, it being only about two feet wide by three feet and a half long, and closed by a trap door, The conflagration at noon to- day was the second fire in the same building and from the same cause within a two year period, CITY MAY HAVE T0 EXPROPRIATE LAND A report will be submitted by the special committee on street extensions at the next meeting of the City Council with regard to Alice street, After the presenting of reports at last night's meeting Alderman 8, G, Carnell asked what developments had been made in re- gard to extending the streer, His motion asking the committee to bring in a report was adopted.
