THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1928 PAGE THREE Extension of Olive Avenue is Assured by Purchase of Lands Council Authorizes the City Treasurer to Take Up Option on Properties By-law. Apportioning Costs | pay of Street Extensions Pass. ed at Friday's Meeting -- Property Owners and City on a Fifty Fifty Basis -- Mayor Preston Points Out That Any Citizen May Ap peal 'Against Apportion- ment of Cost Extensions of Olive avenue and other streets were advanced another step by the city council last night. In the Olive avenue, case, this ex- tension was definitely assured by the decision of the council to close the option on. land necessary to push the street through to Simeoe street, and authorized the city treasurer to pay to the property owners the sum of $1,000 on the purchase price of the fand. Apportion Cost A by-law apportioning the cost of the extensions of William street be- tween Ritson road and Oshawa boule- vard, Olive avenue from Albert to Simeoe streets, Celina street south to Olive avenue extended, and Haron street south from Eulalie avenue, as fifty per cent by the city and fry per cent as a local improvenient ai- sessment against the property own- ers, was passed. This by-law will have to receive the approvai of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board before besining Qperative, PRO 2 When the question of defining the area to he included in the assess- ment of the property-owners' share of the cost of extending Olive avenue was under discussion, Aldermen Car- nell, Boddy and Douglas opposed the plan suggested at Monday night's meeting, that only property owners with lands immediately facing on the extended portion of the street should the local improvement rate, which in this case is 36 cents per foot irontage per year for 15 years. Mayor Preston pointed out that, in any case any citizen on any part of the street can appeal against the ap- portionment of the cost to the On- tario Railway and Municipal Board. "There'll likely be a fight anyway, so we might as well pass it," concluded Alderman Carnell at the end of the debate. The clause in the commit- tee's report then Jae, exactly 'the same as presented 'Monday evening, when it had been referred back to the committee.

N In thelr business' meeting tha Tuxis boys who are to attend the Convention next Friday signed their registra.ion cards, We have hopes of sending a fine delegation to this Convention, downtown district was plunged in- to darkness as black as any night, The weather bureau reported that the phenomenon, the mest pro- nounced ever witnessed in the loop district, was not the result of storm clouds although the day was cloudy, but was caused by a cell- ing of smoke with no wind to carry it away, In Oak Park, chickens went to roost and at the municipal airport and in the loop aerial beacons were lighted to guide fliers eoming into Chicago, JUSTICE FERGUSON DIES Toronto, Nov, 10,--Hon, Wil- liam Nassau Ferguson, Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario for the past 12 years, wha had been in poor health for a considerable period, died at his residence, 244 St. George street, yesterday aflter- noon, Until a few days ago he was showing marked signs of improve- ment and hopes were entertained of his recovery, then came a re- lapse, His sister, Mrs, Ferguson Burke, and only brother, Dr. Gow- an Ferguson, were present at the bedside as he pas-ed away peace- fully.

In fact favorable comment is city wide. Splendid Music Music for rhythmic skating was furnished from a most modern source, an immense Othophonic victrola, and everyone present was delighted with the results, The music could heard throughout the whole building and brilliant hued caps and sweaters, the ideal togs for skating and winter wear, were much in evidence. Pairs glided around the ice in splendid fa- shion and every square yard of the smooth sheet of glass-like ice pro- claimed the fact that the great win- ter sport had opened again, opened with a vengeance. Mayor Preston Mayor R. D, Preston, himself on skates, declared the rink open, im- mediately following which Mrs, Ray Nicholls literally "took to the 'iee" having the distinction of being the first lady to skate on Oshawa's new ice rink, Formalities after that were null and void and the crowd just covered the whole expanse of frozen water in a trice. The affair was a memorable sight and will be long re- membered in the minds of those con- nected with the proposition of in- stalling the artificial plant in the building. d No more waiting for winter winds to frecze nature's liquid say the di- rectors of the Oshawa Curlers Lintit- ily Murphy, was en route from ine West in response to a request thai she come and gee him, ed and skating will he well under =F way before the atmosphere itself is cold enough to freeze the water in the rink, wp Sireet West.

AGREEMENT WITH ARCHITECT LACKS CERTAIN DETAILS A bylaw authorizing the may- or and elerk of the city to sign an agreement with J. Arpold Thomson who has been chosen architect for the proposed mupicipal buildings, was last night referred back to the city property committee, because the agreement in question was not wide enough in its scope in the opinion of the eity council. The agreemeny. provides that the architect prepare plans, specifica- tions, working drawings and an estimate of the cost of both a fire and police administration building, for a fee of $2,500. If the rate- payers approve of the erection of the buildings, Mr. Thomson will be engaged to superintend its er- ection, and will be paid five per cent of the eost of ucture, the sum of $2,500 paid for the pre- paration of the plans to be: deduct ed from this amount, i The council at fs last meeting i passed a clause in the city proper- f '|ty committee's report that the I 8 |architect provide plans, specifica- i tions, etc., and "any other data re- i quired by the commitee or this i council," and it was the opinion of Aldermen 8S. Carnell and D. A. J. | Swanson that the agreement did ! - not include this provision for ad- -- ditional information if needed, with- out additional cost. Therefor the agreement and the bylaw empow- ering the mayor and clerk to sign it, were on motion of Adermen W. Boddy and C. Harman, referred back to the committee with the request that they report back to the council at the mext regular meeting, with the agreement amended to include this provision. | CITY NEWS DOG Is LOST M.

The Albany Street church is located just next to the offices, of the Ontario-Malle- able Iron' Company, CLEANING THE STREET The city street flusher was on the rampage today in its continu- al fight "against dirt, The street department apparently wishes to have Oshawa partienlarly elean for Thanksgiving and rmistice Day, The hig truck roared its way up Simcoe street at 11 o'clock like a dragon of old, But unlike the dragon of antiguity it spouted forth water instead of fire, The demons of dirt stood little chance against it and as though chased hy the Old Dutch woman of advertiss ing fame went scuttling into storm drains and culverts. FIREMEN POLISH UP The fire hall was the scene nf much activity this morning 8s Chief Elliott's fire-fighters were engaged in making a general clean up, When it comes to polishing brass, cleaning headlights and rub. bing fenders, the members of the local brigade show that they are as expert in these things as in ex- tinguishing blazes, large or small, The trucks and equipment are of course kept in good condition st all times but this morning a specs ial effort was made and they ap- peared as though they had been purchased but yesterday, THANKSGIVING CONCERT Rey, George BE, Morley, B.A., a professional graduate of the Owen A, Smily Studio, will be 'the spee- fal attraction at the concert to be held in St, Andrew's Presbyterian Church of the United Chureh oi Canada, Monday evening, Novem- ber 12.

ENCROACHING ON STREET Under a by-law passed by the Oshawa City council last night, the house of Mrs. Edith Rider, at Wil- liam and Ontario streets, will be allowed to remain in fits present position, encroaching slightly on William street. A survey showed that the house, which is 23 feet wide, is about 9 inches over the street line on ome end and about 6 inches on the other epd. The lady will be permitted the use of this land as lopg 28 the present house remains in its present posi- tion, and Mrs. Rider pays the nomi- nal fee of $1 per year for the priv- lege of staying where she is. Upon the removal of the house by fire, wreckage ete, however, the oceu- pants of the property will have to observe the street line sirictly and the agreement is automatically caa- celled. Rossland R oad Bridge Will be Accepted by City, and Share of Cost Paid Council Not Satisfied With? Construction But Struc. ture Already Endorsed By County Engineer -- City's Hands Tied and Aldermen Feel That Protests Would Be in Vain Although feeling that the Ross- land road city-county bridge is not up to standard in workmanship, the Oshawa city council last night pted it and decided to pay the city's share of the cost of construe- tion, approximately $4,200, It was found that the city's hands were tied, and that it is obliged to accept the bridge and pay over its share of the cost, without comsideration of its protest that the workmanship is faulty, The county engineer of the coun. ty of Ontario it appears, has accep- ted the bridge as being within the terms of the contract and it seems also that the bridge was erected under the primary supervision of the county, although the city hears half the cost. Thus any protest of the eity is in vain. Oshawa aldermen who visited the structure after its completion found that the second panel from the east end of the bridge had sunk below the level of the rest of the structure owing to some of the sup- ports giving way in spring fresh- ets. The Oshawa delegation con- tended that the contractor should make the necessary repairs, which would include laying an asphalt surface over part of the bridge but since the county engineer has ac- cepted the bridge as substantially within the terms of the contrart the city would he legally liable for the payment of its share of the cost in any case. The agreement between the coonty and the city regarding the division of cost has not yet been signed, although it has been understood by both parties that the cost would be equally divided on the brid=e between the city and the county and the elty regarding MAIL BOX DAMAGED A mail box with supporfing post was seen stretched prone up- on the ground on King street west last night, Its downfall pre- sents a mystery, for either some- one must have tampered with His Majesty's mail or more than like- ly the post was mistaken for a pedestrian and run down by some revengeful motorist, LONG RUGRBYISTS . "The London Gas House Gang" whe entrained from London this morning at 9 o'clock arrived here by C.N.R. at 1,17 o'clock this af- ternon and were met by Messrs. Ross McKinnon and Claude Watt of General Motors Blue Devils' executive at the depot, The team were escor.ed immediately to Alex- andra Park for a work-out to Jim- ber up after the long journey, EARLY SERVICES SUNDAY Oshawa churches will observe the two minutes' silence tomorrow, Armistice Day, honoring the illus- trious men who died in the Great War, In all the churches the morning services will begin a few minutes earlier so that *'the sil- ence' may be observed promptly at 11 o'clock. It is desirable that worshippers be seated .in their places at least five minutes before that time, POLICE COURT DARK The city police court was not called upon to deal with any trans- gressors against the law today, much to the pleasure of the magis- trate, clerk, chief constable and crown attorney, Possibly it is just a co-cinidence that there should be no docket on the day befor the cel- ebration of Armistice end Thanks- giving but on the other hand there are those who think that the ap- proach of this occasion of great solemnity and great joy have exer- cised a sobering influence upon would-be lawbreakers. 4WILL ATTENR SERVICE Oshawa's city council will at- tend divine service at Simcoe Street United Church Sunday morn- ing in connection with the obser- vance of Armistice Day. Following the service a wreath from the city will be placed at "The Garden of |' the Unforgotten." Alderman A. J. Graves suggested to the council that the city officials join the alder- men in the service. "It would be bery nice to have the officials at- tend chureh," he said. "Yes, and very unusual!" inter- jected Mayor Preston. ' TICKET CAMPAIGN The ticket selling campaign con- ducted by eight girls from Genera! Motors for the London-Oshawa rughy game here this afternoon proved an outstanding success for which the members of the rugby team are very gratefl to the local young ladies. The team selling the greatest number of tickets was Miss Vera Cook and Miss Madeline O'Copnor and for this distinction they have been presented with bandsome boxes of chocolates by the §ragement of the "Blue Devils", An old-timer is a man who can re- member phen girls somcotimes grew too tall for their dresses.~Albany Knickerbocker Press. along the bridge betweem the city, the county and the township. On motion of Aldermen S. Care fiell and S. Jackson the clause of the Board of Works report relative to the bridge was adapted. This clause was referred back to the Board for further comsideration at Monday evening's meeting, and re- introduced at the adjournétl meet- ing last might without change. It reads: "We recommend that the new county-city bridge on Rossland Rd. west of Simcoe street, be accepted as being within the terms of the contract." No Res v "We further recommend that the city accept no responsibility in the matter of accounts outstanding against Mr, McDougall the con- tractor on the sald bridge, and that the full responsibility for the disposition of the balance due amounting to $574.67 under the contract be left in the hands of the county council, Amend Agreement "We further recommend that the county council be requested io amend the proposed agreement with the city by adding the condition wherein it was understood that the sidewalk constructed on the bridge would be paid for in equal shares by the County of Ontario, the township of East Whitby and the City of Oshawa."
