THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1928 PAGE THREE Street Extensions to be Discussed at Special Council Meeting Seek Order of Railway Board For Opening of Street Across Tracks City Cound Refers Opening of Third Avenue Across Com An order of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board for the open- . ing of Third Avenue across the tracks of the Oshawa Railway Company, may be applied for Ly the city council following action which the council took on the matter at its meeting last night. There are at present damage claims aggregating $21,600 filed against the city in connection with the closing of a portion of Oshawa street and it was thought by sev- eral aldermen that if Third avenue was pushed through the damage claims might be withdrawn. Operation Delayed Although the council, several weeks ago, passed a by-law closing Oshawa street from First to Third avenue, and conveying the land to the W. E, Phillips Company, litiga- tion in the matter has delayed the final operation of the by-law, Al- though the Phillips Company want the land for extensions of their plant which is- at present on the west side of Oshawa street, through Oshawa street to land which they own on the east side of the street, the city has not yet sold them the land in question because there are several damage claims which will have to be settled before the deal can finally go through. Claims Filed Following the passing of the by- law to close this street, several residents of Oshawa street, south of Third avenue, claimed that their property had heen damaged by the closing of this portion of the street, leaving them no egress to the remainder of the cily by the north, and made a motion in the Supreme Court to quash the by-law on the ground that they had not been compensated for the damage to their property. The Supreme Court refused the motion, and the property owners have since filed claims totalling $21,600 against the city. List of Claims The list of claims, as read to the the ci.y council last night is: Thomas Chmara, $1,000; John Hercia, $1,000; John Gut, $1,000; Florian Neringer, $1,500; Harry Shouldra, $1500; John Popowich, $800; Mike Slowinski, $1,600; Nick Turecki, $1,600; May Kalyn- ka, $250; John Turecki, $800; Alex, Sworyh, $1,000; Steve Bloch, $1,000; Ignace Kupi, $1,000; Fred Chmara, $7,750, Make Conditions Alderman Conant read a letter from the Oshawa Railway Com- pany in which they consented to the opening of Third Avenue across their tracks, providing the city as- sumed all the cost of placing the crossing over the tracks and of protecting the crossing if, in the future, the Railway Board ordered gates or a watchman or other pro- tection, The opening of this street will desiroy any damage claim, Al- derman Conant said for the resi- dents of Oshawa street will then have an opening through to Albert street and thus to the main section of the city, The quesiion was referred to the city property committee to formu- late a plan for opening the street, FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS AFTER TWO YEAR TERM (Continued from Page 1) of ul.imatum issued by the Prem- jed in response to criticism of his financial proposals by the finance committee of the Chamber of Dep- uties, The appropriations asked for by the Government exceed the estimated receipts from present re- sources by 2,800,000,000 francs (about $112,000,000); the differ- ence is made up in part by the in- scription of a billion francs from reparations payments in the regu- lar treasury receipts the rest come out of the pockets of the taxpayers. The Opposition holds that a mil- lion and a half of the increased appropria.ions is for the army and navy and objects to further press- ing the taxpayers for such pur- poses. It demands more money for the Government employes, with relief for certain categories of tax- payers. Premier Poincare, consider- ing these criticisms as a threat to the equilibrium of the budget, flat- ly declared that unless a well-bal- anced budget is voted before De- cember 21, he will make room for another Prime Minister, The Premier declared also that he will not consent to any dimuni- tion in the sums asked for to rein- force the national defence. [APPORTION COST OF THE SUBWAY ON SIMCOE STREET 3. City Advised That Railway Board Will Soon Render Judgment That the award of the Board of Railway Commissioners for Can- ada regarding the apportionment of the cost of establishing a sub- way on Simcoe street south should soon be made public, is the state- ment of Ainslie W. Greene, K.C., of Ottawa, who has been repre- senting the city in the matter, Mr, Greene, in a letter read to the city council last night, states that the case of both the city and the Canadian National and Oshawa Railways have finally been present- ed to the Board and that a juds- ment from the Board may be ex- pected in the very near future. He also states his expeciation that the judgment may be favorable to the city, The letter from Mr. Greene to the city, which was referred to the Board of Works, is: "Mr, G. D. Conant has made enquiries from me from time to time as to the progress of the sub- way matter in obtaining a judg- ment and has co-operated with me in company with Mr. W, C. Smith, the city engineer, in certain steps which have been necessary since the hearing on July 13 last. It seems to me, however, only pro- per that in view of the lapse of time since the hearing that I should report to you the progress of events since the hearing, "At the hearing in behalf of the city we put in various figures as to costs of present operation to the railway dealing with the operation of the gates, breaking of trains and various other points of expense to which the railways are now put, and would not be put if the subway was cons.ructed, Naturally, not having the books of the railway in our possession, these figures were more or less estimated and the assistant Chief Commissioner of the Board, who conducted the hearing, required the railway te file figures as to the actual costs unless they wished our es.imates to he taken as correct. "Although the railways were continuously pressed to file these figures, it was not until August 14 that I received a copy from the solicitor for the National Railways of his reply, and I presume it would he on the same date that such re- ply reached the Board of Railway Commissioners, "Unfortunately, it was absolute- ly impossible for me to go into these figures in detail with Mr, Conant and Mr, Smi.h prior to my departure for Western Canada on August 24, In addition to that I did not deem it advisable to pre- pare a reply to Mr. Pratt's state- ment without having before me the evidence taken at the hearing and at that time I did not have the evidence, "Immediately on my return to Ottawa from the west, about the middle of September, Mr, Conant and Mr, Smith came to Ottawa and spent a day with me preparing an answer to the figures filed by the railways, This statement afier completion was sent to Mr. Con- ant and Mr, Smith for final re- vision and copies of the same were filed by me with the Board of Rail- way Commissioners and Mr. Pratt, counsel for the Canadian Nationa! Railways by letters dated Sepiem- ber 21, 1928, Since then I have been in com- munication from time to time with the Board of Railway Commission- ers asking that Mr, Pratt's final answer to our statement of Sep- tember 21 should be filed and the matter disposed of. The Board of Railway Commissioners have sent several notices to Mr, Pratt in- sisting that his reply be filed with- out any further delay and his re- ply did reach the Board of Rail- way Commissioners on October 31, "I do not see why the final dis- | position on the matter should Le delayed any length of time ndw and hope to hear of a judgment by the Board within the very near future, "As this is the first time that " have communicated with the city ¢ Oshawa at any length on this ~.bject, perhaps I might be per- mitted now to express my appreci- ation of the very efficient assist- ance given to me in the prepara- tion of your case by Mr, Conant and the various officials of the city of Oshawa. I might also say that I have very strong hopes that the judgment when delivered will be satisfactory to the city." KILLED ON HIGHWAY Owen Sound, Noy. 6.--James Car- son, aged 70, was almost instantly killed on provincial highway number 10 last night when hit by a car driven by Victor Phillips, Sheil curne. Phil- lips did not see Carson as he turned out to pass another car. An inquest will be held. (Supplied by Stobie, Forlong & Co.)

M, Ew- ing, of the High School staff, and Douglas Rutherford, all cousins, In Toronto, where the reception was tendered yesterday, Lieut-Ru- therford was one of the few V.C.'s who received the due homage of a proud country. Conspicuous Bravery An account of his services which led to his receiving the Victoria Cross, follows: Charles 8, Rutherford: For most conspicuous bravery, Initiative and devotion to duty, When in com- mand of an assaulting party (Aug, 26, 1918, at Monchy-le-Preux), Lieut Rutherford found himself a considerable distance ahead of his men and at the same moment obh- served a fully armed strong enemy narty outside a "pill-box" ahéad of him. . He beckoned to them with his revolver to come to him; in re- turn they waved to him to come to them. This he boldly did and informed them that they were pri- soners., This fact an enemy officer disputed and invited Lieut. Ruth- erford to enter the *pill-box," an invitation he discreetly declined, By masterly binff, however, he per- suaded the enemy that they were surrounded and the whole party of forty-five, including two offic ers and three machine guns, sur- rendered to him. Subsequently he induced the enemy officer to stop the fire of an enemy machine gun close by and Lieut. Rutherford took advantage of the opportunity to hasten the advance of his men to his support. Lieut. Rutherford then observed that the right as- saulting party was held up by heavy machine gun fire from another "pill-box." Indicating an objee- tive to the remainder of his party, he attacked the *pill-box" with a Lewis gun section and eaptured a further thirty-five prisoners with machine guns, thus enabling the narty to continue their advance. The bold and gallant aetion of this officer contributed very materially to the capturé of the main obiec- tive and was a wonderful inspira- tion to all ranks in pressing home the attack on a very strong posi- tion. FARMERS SALVAGE CROPS Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, Nov. 6.-- The dry weather of the past few days has stimulated Algoma farmers to ac- tion and they arc again endeavoring to salvage their crops from the low- lands. Much grain and roots remain to be harvested. CITY NEWS PROSECUTING ATTORNEY Crown Attorney J. A.

UNIVERSITY LECTURE Dean McLay, of Toronto Univer- sity, will deliver the second lec- ture in the University Extension cause, in Albert street school to- night. GALE SWEEPS OSHAWA A heavy westerly gale prevailed in Oshawa today, following the passing of a disturbance which was centered over Lake Superior, A low barometer reading of 29.74 this morning gave ample warning of an approaching blow. On Sun- day, the barometer was 30.50, and todav's reading records a drop of nearly an inch in the past 36 hours. CAR JUMPS TRACK A freight car belonging to the Oshawa Railway Company went on a rampage about 10.30 o'clock this morning when one truck jumped the tracks and ¢ut up the pave- ment in front of the McLaughlin Coal and Supply Company, on King street west, It was not very long, however, before the crew got the car back on the tracks again. Lit- tle damage to the pavement re- sulted. NO COUNTERFEIT MONEY The report circulated ahout the city' that counterfeit money is in circulation, was discredited hy Chief of Police Owen D. Friend, thi= morning, As far as is known, sa' 1 2 chief, there {8 no counter- feit money in circulation, and we have no eases in connection with that kind of thing for some time. There is, however, some trouhle with money of that type in Mont- real at the nresent time, hut Osh- awa is not In the least connected with the case. FRIENDLY ELMS FELLED Two giant elm trees, each ahout four feet in diameter, have heen cut down on Simcoe street north in front of the new Tuck hlock. Tt is almost sad to see such snlendid specimens, which for a half cen- tury or more have provided wel- come shade, yield hefore the march of progress, hut the eity council has decreed that any trees in the husiness section of Simcoe street mav be cut down, nroviding pro- perty owners so wish. These two giants have stoutly resisted the woodman's axe and it has heen, only with difienlty, that they have been finally felled. ELECTION RESULTS "Are there any returns from the United States election?" As early as one o'clock this afternoon, this auery came into The Times office' [U'nfortunately, polls over the bor- der do not close until six o'clock tonight, Eastern Standard time, and, equally unfortunately, the neople of the United States observe the same rule as in Canada--the vote isn't counted until after the polls close, so these early callers could not he accommodated. The Times will receive bulletins this evening, however, and will he nleased to give hy telephone any information available as to the elee- tion results, NEAR ACCIDENT An accident was averted by inches at the intersection of King and Prince streets this morning, when Wilson's hardware truck was nearly sideswiped by a sedan car travelling west, The truck was crossing King street to Prince and was attempting to get out of the road of a car coming from the west, The driver apparently did not notice the sedan approaching in the opposite direction and his truck crossed directly in the path nf the vehicle. There was a lond squeaking of hrakes and the sedan came to a ston about two finches away from the truck's running hoard.

INSTAL STREET LIGHTS At the city council meeting last night, street lights were authoriz- ed at Rowe and King streets and on Division street north of Rose- dale avenue.

An alarm was turned in to the fire department, who responded and used chemicals to extinguish the blaze. Damage estimated at $50 was done to the motor alone, tne fire not making any headway in the building itself, It was first noticed from the street, MYSTERY SOLVED Investigating a report abandoned car had been left for several nights on the base line. west of the city, Provincial Officer Taylor this morning found out that the automobile was the property of one of the men employed hy the Hydro company, working in that section of the country, It had heen parked on the side of the road for one day only and was locked securely, This morning the car that an and presented a rather bleak ap- pearance, Looking in through the window, a bottle with a dark liguid within, furnished what appeared to be a clue, However, when the mys- tery was solved, the "cold tea" turned out to he real tea, and the car was left in peace, CHILD RUSHES TRAFFIC Always on the alert for children in trouble, a big burly policeman this morning found a little tot wan- dering down King street east, on a little jigger affair. 'The child was unknown in the neighborhood and immediately the officer's pro- fessional attitude sprang to action. Here was a child, barely three years old, dressed well, and riding on one of the busiest thoroughfares of the city. It would bare investiga- tion, The officer took the child to the station after many protests, No sooner had he been made at home with a chocolate bar and many smiles from the big police- man there, than a call came from the mother of the lad, notifying them that she had lost her child and "would be down immediately to get"him." It was learned that | 4 the boy lived In the north west see- tion of the city, and how he got so far away from home without in- jury is still a mystery. MAN LYING ON HIGHWAY KILLED BY PASSING CAR Niagara Falls, Ont., Nov. 6.-- Mike Cickocki, 40, Hungarian, was instantly killed late last night when an automobile ran over his head, bursting it open. The driver of the car, Donald Konmack, was not held. Konmack's story was that he with two other men were driving along Stanley Street and, 'oo late to stop, saw a body lying on the side of the road, with the head on the travelled portion. He swerved into the ditch on the other side but) not quickly enough to avoid the body.

Dr. McGarry will open sult in the reopening of the doub- le murder case, ope of this dis- trict's unsolved crimes. It was believed that Patsy Villella and Dominica Padota had killed each other. But no firearms were ever found. Padota died instantly, Vil- lella lived for five hours. The question now raised is whe- ther the fatally wounded man was able to carry the guns away and dump the one down the manhole pear the scene of the shooting or whether someone else was respon- sible for the crime. Chief of police Harry Jones after inspecting the .45 automatic, com- pared the shell in the gun with the Council For Aldermen Eton Opinion That Assessment Against Olive Avenue Extension is Not Spread Over Enough Area -- By-law is Not Prepared Because City Solicitor Was Informed That Matter Had Been Dropped Street extensions in the city is one of the questions to be discus- sed by the city council at a special meeting which has been calied for Friday night of this week. Several other matters were also carried over for consideration at this meeting. Alderman A. R., Alloway started ihe discussion on street extensions by asking if the city solicitor had as yet prepared the by-law re- garding the Olive avenue extension, as he had been instructed to do by the council at its last meeting. The city clerk informe the coun- cil that the solicitor had started to prepare a by-law, but Alderman John Stacey had informed him tnat it was "all off" and that it was not necegsary to proceed further with the prepafation of the by-law, so it had been dropped. -- Back to Council Alderman George Morris, chair- man of the city property committee, said that his committee had pre- pared a report on street extensions to he presented at this mee.ing, but when some members of the com- mittee had raised objection to it, it had been decided to submit the matter back to the council for free discussion, and not as a report. The clause recommended that the cost of extending Olive avenue to Simcoe street and Celina street south to the extended Olive avenue, be assersed as a local improvement tax entirely against the property immediately facing on the new por- tions of the street, the assessment to be 36 cents per foot frontage for a period of 15 years, Alderman Morris stated that, in his opinion, the street extensions were not of enough value to other property in the vicinity that they should be assessed one nickel of the cost. Cost Area Small "It is not fair to charge the im- mediately adjacent property owners 36 cents per foot, and confine the assessment to this small portion of land," said Alderman Wm, Ilod- dy. He was in favor of opening the street, however. Mayor R. D, Preston agreed with Alderman Boddy that the cost was not being spread over enough area. The benefit of extending Olive avenue to Simcoe street was en- joyed by the whole street, thought Alderman Carnell, who declared that the cost of opening the street should be assessed in parc against all property owners on if, Resi- dents on the lower end of Celina street would also benefit through eastern portion of the city, Left Over Alderman D. A, J. Swanson said that the question should be rettled in one way or another for in any case the Ontario Railway and Muni- cipal Board would have power to change the area assessed, if any ratepayers made an appeal to 1. However, he thought it would be wise to leave it over until Friday evening, and adjourned the coun- cil till that time. This was finally agreed upon, Street Openings During the discussion, City En- gineer W, C. Smith presented three reports on street openings, one for the Olive avenue and Celina street extensions, the cost of which is to be assessed against property own- ers immediately affected; one for the extensions of William street east from Ritson road, the cost of which is to be assessed over a wider area and one for the extension ot Huron street. north from Eulalie avenue, which will also be assessed over a wider area than the property owners immediately affected. In each of these cases, the city bears half the cost, and the remainder is assessed as a local improvement rate against property owners, Till Next Year Aldermen 8. Carnell and C, Har- man endeavored 'to get the council to reconsider the extension of Alice street east of Ritson road through the Feldspar Glass company's prop- erty, by having the city property committee consider expropriation proceedings, The council decided, however, that since two committees bad already dealt with the question and had made little progress, it should be left until next year, az had been decided at the last mect- ing. combat.

The resolution reads: "Whereas the expenses in cons nection with the upkeep of County Gaols, including the maintenance of prisoners are, under present conditions bourne largely by the Municipalities within the County. "And whereas the proportion of the up-keep contributed by the Province is determined by the number of prisoners convicted of indictable offences in relation to the total prisoners confined. "And whereas with the advent cf good roads, conditions have so changed in the last few years, that the County Gaols throughout the Province thould, in the opinion of this Council be regarded more as provincial rather than local insti- tutions; "Therefore be it resolved that this Council request the Govern- ment of the Province of Ontario to consider seriously the matter of in- troducing legislation at the next sitting of the Legislature providing for a specific proportion of not less than fifty per cent, of the total cost of the upkeep of all County and, where separate build- ings are maintained, City Gaols being horne by the Province, and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable G, H.
