THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, OC1UBER 16, 1928 "WHITBY Mach Discussion Over 'Grant of $5 0 to Whitby Engineer For Use of Car "Routine Business --Coun- | Objector to Reimburse- * | ment of Official for Ser: vices Rendered -- CNR. Criticized for Tardiness Regarding Dundas Street East Crossing By Statf Reporter) Weiy Oct. 15.--Only routine business came before the Town Council for consideration at ie Te gular meeting on Monday evening. Much of the year's work is now completed or well under way a from now on until the end ol he year each session af the civic is jators should be of comparatively uration, hy Bg contentious matter va a recommendation of the Sireeta committee that the sum of $5 x foreman Jack granted to street fo Jack Hill, for the use of his car fof 2 total of 174 days this season, : was shown that Mr. Hil had car ried the town's men to and om théir work from time to time, ny. ing the town money in transpor hy tion charges and in lost Hume, and had also taken the town eng ve on several trips as required, ih Hill did not submit a bill to be council, but the engineer Jiguree that he was entitled to $73, $50 was voted for Mr. Hill, Against and For Objection to the grant was taken by Chas, EB. Broughton who, while appreciating the work that The street foreman had done for town this year, was opposed oh principle of doing something whic a he figured was establishing a pre t. SON an Frank Threadgold, of the streets committee, defended the recommendation by stating that Mr. Hill having used his car for the town's benefit, thereby saving money for the town, was entitled to some compensation, He had taken men to and from their wor and had also earsied the engineer to different parts of the town, He had given the town & good #6 worth of service for which the town would undoubtedly have had to pay for in other Ways. He charged that Goun, Broughton bad given very little of his time this year to the work of the streets committee of which he was a member. should Be Reimbursed Coun, Ed, Bowman took the stand that if Mr. Hill was out money in the town's service or had earned money hy saving it for the town, he should he reimbursed, While, it might have heen better for Mr. Hill to have submitted 8 bill to the council for _considera- tion, he was nevertheless, in favor 0 aying the $50, haan) ER renton held that the council was entitled to pay Mr. Hill for the use of his car if the engin- eer. could show that the town had benefitted therefrom, The engin- eer recommended $73 but $50 was decided upon by the committee and he was in favor of it. As far as establishing a precedent was con- cerned, this bad already been done as a sidewalk inspector last year got 'so muep for his services and go much for the use of his car, while the council allowed the Chief Constable $100 for his car in the town's service, Reeve Says It Reeve Jackson said that the en- gineer's report showed that the foreman worked 147 days and us- ed his car, saving more: than an hour a day for the town in taking men to and from their work, In his opinion he had saved the town more than the $50 but he was will- ing that this amount should be paid, The reeve could not see what principle Coun. Broughton was op- posed to. The engineer had recom- mended $73, the council offered $50, and he figured "the town was getting off mighty cheap." Broughton is Economical Coun. Broughton said that too riuch money had been spent like this during the year, the council handing out $50 here and $50 there, which he did not like. Reeve Jackson demanded of Coun, Broughton that if he thought the council had squandered money he should explain to council the amounts he referred to. So far as he was concerned he was not aware of any money that had been squans dered. Coun. Broughton replied that he would have something further to say. on this matter at a future meeting. Get After C.N.R. Although repeated promises have been made by the Canadian Na- tional Rajiways that they would placé planks on their crossing on Dundas street east, thereby remoy- ing 2a nuisance of which citizens have complained for over a year, nothing so far bas been dome. A. W. Beal in a letter to Council eall- ed attention to several complaints he had made this year, and added that he was still aonored with the dust from ithe gravel on 'he cross- ing while bis house was shaken every time a train went over it. Protests Ignored Reeve Jacksoa stroogly objected { | fi to the action of the C.N.R. in this and other matters, and thought that the clerk should "write a sharp letter to the superintendent at Belleville demanding an immediate settlement. They had promised several times to fix this crossing but had never dome so, and the couneil was still getting complaints. The Railway Company, in his opin- fon, was getting away with too much. They had blocked the south end of Byron street by the erection of a building in viclation with their agreement with the town and although the solicitor had protest- ed on the town's behalf the pro- test had been ignored, The ap- proaches to the Brock street bridge were not fixed and it looked now as if the town would have to do the work. It was not fair that the town should be used in this man- ner. The mayor will have a letter written to the C.N.R. authorities at Belleville, bringing these matters to their attention and will also ask the road foreman what excuse he had for not putting the planks on the Dundas street crossing when he promised to have this work done, Help Repair Street Council accepted an offer from the Imperial Oil Company, obtain. ed through the engineer, to contri- bute $76 towards gravelling the north end of Hickory street where their tanks ave located as they were unable to get two cars of cinders from the railway company as in- tended, This offer was considered satisfactory and the work is pro. ceeding, J. J, Lynde wrote complaining of a crossing on Kent street, be- tween his house and that of Geo- M, Rice, about 50 feet north of Dundas street, which he claimed was a nuisance to him and caused hiny considerable trouble, He claimed that the water runs off this crossing into his cellar and in the winter months ice forms which makes pedestrian trafic dangerous, Mr, Lynde suggested that the cross. ing be removed and that Mr, Rice be supplied with a sidewalk from Dundas street to the end of his property, The letter was referred to the streets committee, Instal Sewers Council voted the sum of $1,781 to' the Public Utility Commission for the construction of sanitary sewers on Reynolds, Chestnut, King and Centre streets, to serve new houses, A hylaw was passed authorizing the borrowing of this amount from the Dominion Bank until debentures can be issued, A fourth light will be installed north of the C.P.R. tracks to brighten that section where much building §s now in progress. It was recommended by the Fire and Light Committee, Council voted to table a resolu- tion, submitted hy the Orillia Boura of Trade, and for which endorsa- tion was asked, requesting the Canadian National Exhibitien di- rectors to change the opening date of the exhibition to the 1st of Sep- tember in order to extend the tour- ist season in Ontario, COMPETITION T0 BE KEEN AT THE PLOWING MATCH South Ontario Experts to Plow Straight Furrows at Manchester Tomorrow (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Oct. 16,--Keen competi- tion is expected in the annual plow- ing match of the South Ontario Plowmen's Association to be held tomorrow afternoon on the farms of Alex Johns and John Boyes, township of Reach, and one-half mile distant from the Manchester store.

Mr, Crisall, Bishop Lucas ould pro- mise that All Saints' church had se- cured a rector of outstanding ability and faithful character, He had first met him eight years ago at West- minster Hall, London, Eng, where he was appealing for young men to offer their lives in service in the mis- sion ficlds of western Canada, At that time Rev. Mr. Crisall was as- sisting his uncle, Rey. Frank Swain- son, noted English preacher, at St, Barnabas church, Holloway, North London. In 1921 he left this parish and came to Canada being posted at far-off Fort McPherson, among the Eskimos and Indians. That same year he brought his bride to Fort Mc- Pherson and labored there with marked success until 1924 when ill health forced him to seek a warmer clime. He then came to Gore's Land- ing and assumed four charges and led in the building of a new rectory and new church, Bishop Lucas describ- ed him as "an accomplished musician, keen evangelist and missionary en- thusiast." : Bishow's Sulogy Previous to the conclusion of the service Bishop Sweeney expressed his pleasure that Rev. Mr. Crisall had entered. the diocese.

NEED LEGAL PROOF US. CONSTITUTION 10 STOP LIQUOR Valleyfield Magistrate Rules That He Will Not Probe Rea. sons for Shipments Valleyfield, Que., Oct. 16,-- When the constitution of the Unit- ed States is not legally proved be- fore a Canadian court, what might appear to be a bootlegging trans- action must be treated as a normal commercial affair. Mr. Justice Bond showed Monday, dismissing a claim for $1,300 made by George N. Degenkolh, of North Adams, Mass, against Edourd Herbert, of Valleyfield, for alleged non-deliv- ery of a carload of Quebec beer concealed in hay. 'As the constitution of the Un- ited States has not been legally proven hefore me, and the amend- ments thereto, I am not entitled to take cognizance of the reasons why such elaborate precautions should have been taken," says the court, finding that the American had not proven the sale on which the suit was based, and dismissing the complaint, This point has already come he- fore the Attorney-General's De- partment, in connection with court cases at the Ontario border. "Certain things may be accepted hy a court as of common know- ledge," Hon. W, H. Price explain- ed, "The sun rises in the east, for example, But when reference is made to the law of another coun- try, we have no official cognizance of it, We may think we know, hut for purposes of a court there must be proof submitted, and the United States constitution {is one thing that nrust be legally proven."

MURRELL TO HANG 13 JUDGMENT AT LONDON COURT Connected With Melbourne Murder--Brother Executed for Same Crime London, Ont., Oct. 16--~Demonstrat- ing alike the length of the law's arm and the swift sureness of Canadian justice, the trial of William Murrell commenced at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was completed at 8 o'clock last night with the pronoun» cement by Mr, Justice Logie of the death sentence.

Murrell the necessity for mak- ing peace with his Maker. Murrell, whose brother, Sydney, was hanged as the actual perpetrator of the murder of Russell Campbell, Melbourne garageman, in the robbery Fof the Home Bank in that village on April 11, 1921, stood steadily while the Judge pronounced sentence, and turned to smile at his parents and sist.rs who sat behind him, The girls returned a cheery smile as he was led back to the cells from the prisoner's dock, but as he disapncared down the stairs flanked by officers they burst into tears, Brief Trial The trial was one of the briefest on a major count on record in Lon» don. It commenced at 2 o'clock and took less than half an hour to select the jury, scarcely two hours to pre- sent the evidence for the prosecu- tion, perhaps fiftcen minutes for the evidence for the defense and the re- mainder of the time till 6" o'clock for the addresses by eounsel and the Judge's charge. The court adjourn- ed then till § o'clock, but long before resumption it was known that the jurors were ready, J. E.

The weather was ideal and con- gregations were present at both ser- vices, the body of the church being filled and many in the gallery, Rev. C. R. Carscallen, BA, BD, DD, Frincipal of the Ontario Ladies' Col- lege, itby, preached at the morn- ing service and the pastor Rev. J. A. Robbins at the evening service. On this anniversary occasion, Rev. Mr, Carscallen wished the church many happy returns ofthe day. He thought it was an opportune time for religious stock taking and while it was not a christian act to criticise others it was well to criticise our- selves. Having been a missionary for some years in China, Mr. Cars- callen was in a position to tell of the Chinese opinion of christianity. They wanted Christ but did not approve of the methods of bringing the know- ledge of Him to their people, He thought if missionaries went more with a view of service rather than conquest, it would be more acceptable, At this service two anthems were well rendered by the choir under the direction of Francis Sutton, the solos in one being taken by Mrs. Thomp- son and Rose Strike. Miss Margaret Allin also sang a solo "Love Never Faileth" in her usual pleasing man- ner, The Pastor . At the evening service the pastor, Rev. J. U. Robbins, preached an in- spiring sermon from the text "For here we have no continuing city, but seek one to come."

Mr, Mulock sang three numbers, "If With All Your Hearts," "The Voice in the Wilderness" and "In the Gar- den," Mr, Mulock possesses a most pleasing voice and all his soles were very much enjoyed, particularly "In the Garden" which was beautifully rendered, There were two quartets, the first a mixed one, "O Love That Will Not Let Me Go" sung by Miss Painton, Mrs. Foster, Messrs. Tap- son and Pollard, and a ladies' quartet "Evening Song" by Mesdames Mor- rison, Thompson, Foster and Ander- son, A solo "Even Song" by Mrs. T. W, Cawker and an unaccompanied an- them by the choir, both of which were sung in splendid style, complet- ed the program, Generous Response The church board asked for a thankoffering of $3000 and at the close of the evening service Mr. Rob- bins announced that $2938 had been placed on the plates, As there are always amounts that come in later from some who were unable to be present on Sunday, there is no doubt that more than the objective will be received, BOWMANVILLE PERSONALS Bowmanville, Oct, 16--Mr. and Mrs. Howard Percy and daughter Helan, Hamilton, Mr, and- Mrs, Har- ley Percy and daugther, Shirley, Tor- onto, Mr, aid Mrs. W.
