Doueett, police state, attempted to direct traffic while in a state of intoxi- cation, many cars marrowly strik- ing him as he staggered around the slippery street. Constable A.

The machine would use about 25 gallons of gasoline per hour, On motion of Commissioners W, H, Ross and J, Fowlds the tender of the Turbine Equipment company was accepted and the equipment purchased, subject to the signing of a suitable contract, Water For Industries Chairman ~~ McLaughlin fntro- duced the question of providing for 8 private supply of water to in- dustries using large quantities, He mentioned the proposed brewery, which would require large quanti- ties of water, and suggested that perhaps a private pump might be installed in the pumping station and a main run direct to the brews ery. The water could be raw water from the lake, as it would be used for only manufacturing purposes and would be Jess expensive for the company, Oshawa had lost the Goodrich plant to Toronto he of the high water rates and inade- quate provision for a supply of water, he stated, Hydrant to Bemain A citizen residing at Colborne and Patricia streets asked for water service, saying that he bad heard that a hydrant 200 yards distant, from which he obtained his water, was to be removed, and that this would leave the neighborhood in a serious predicament. There are only a few residents of this vicin- ity, and they all draw their water supply from this hydrant. He will be assured that the hydrant is not to be removed, New 6 Inch Main A six-inch water main was grant- ed on Cadillac avenue from the To- ropto Eastern right-of-way to 260 feet north of Richmond street, and an extension of the temporary main op Viola street was also and will be extended about 250 feet farther along Viola street to St. under the influence of liquor are charges jaid g2zainct him, Doueetr | having driven bis car up and down | the highway between spells of Itratiic dire-ting. ar a motor vehicle while Julien street and then about 39 acet alopg St. Julien street to serve several houses in this district.

Today's the day that Oshawa Plue Devils take on "Lemndoa in the Bush", and strive for a hold on the top rung of the Intermedi- ate ladder, November is still kind to the kings of the griderom. Our today's weather is still mild and the kind that permits the fans to watch the games without holding on to ears and noses, Tonight the Blue Devils return to Oshawa either with their shields or on them. November may be furnishing its mildness, but it is also putting along considerable moisture and the climatic outlook for today is nothing to brag about as far as sun- shine and brightness goes, But those fellows who, at the behest of the Weatherman, put on the heavies a week ago, are going about mopping their brows and swatting the flies. The change from BVD's to the heavies 1s always a serious mat- ter, Along comes a frost, and for days and days the faithful adher- ents to the summer rule, shiver and squirm and "grin and bear it," Finally they take a dive into the "woolies" and then, Presto, the weather changes to fair and mild, Then they go about fanning themselves and swatting the fly ana fool themselves into believing it's June or something, Then they get mad again, rip off the trusty old red flannels and get back to flimsy knee-length BVD's and Presto--comes Boreas - the north wind with his sub sero breath, The weather seems to be running in direct contradiction to "Wooliea™ and '"flimsies", It will probably become ernoler at the week-end or first of next; but the savere cold wave which threatened to usher in winter sems to have wasted its energy in the northern areas of the Great Lakes, It is wilder in the provinces today, western (Supplied by Stoble, Forlong & Co,) NEW YORK STOCKS High Low Close 115% 116% 116% 116% 53% 233 79% 133 28% 140 618 212 44% 76% 71 195 65% 413 463% 100 b0'%s B5 117 203 188% 44 53% 76% 80% 38% 171% 28% 216% 205 126% 85% ASSAULT CHARGE DISMISSED IN Stock Amer, Can, 117 Balt & Ohio 116% Briggs Mig. 64% Can, Pae, ,,283 Can; Pry ,, 80 (Chrysler ,,184% Congoleum 29% Cur, Aero ,,142% Erle vere 62% Gen, Mot, ,214% Gra.

In 1908 the Board of Education, or school hoard as it was then called, followed suit, and at the present time all representatives to publie bodies in Chatham are elected in that manner. Well Satisfied It is quite safe to say that the citizens of Chatham would never re: turn to the ward system of elections, In the olden days "ward polities" worked to the detriment of the city, It was often found that two splen- did men would be running for of- fice in one ward, both of whom de- served election, while other wards were not as favorably served in the matter of high class candidates. There was considerable section. alism in city politics, each alderman fighting for improvements for his own particular ward, It meant con- siderable lobbying, and resulted, oftentimes, in confusion, and the inauguration of certain works of minor importance while works of far greater urgency were left in abey- ance, Whole City Served It was noted that a better class of men were elected to the council un- der the system of selecting them by the city at large. The city's general interests were better served, In. terest in civic elections was also stimulated, The city of Chatham has however gone a step further in the matter of reformed municipal government, and through the passing of a special bill in the legislature this city was en- abled to establish a Couneil-Manager form of municipal control, The size of the council was reduced, and the various committees of the council were abolished, The council meets, practically, as a board of directors, defining the policies of government while much of the detajl manage- ment is performed by the City Man- ager, Alternate Terms The abolishing of the wards brought about a great improvement, and the Council-Manager idea has added greatly to the benefit of city administration, Chatham has a Mayor and a coun: cil of seven, The Mayor is elected each year, Four of the aldermen are elected one year and three the next, the aldermen thus being elect: ed for two-year terms, ; Board of Directors The abolishing of the wards brought better men into the alder- manic field, and the adoption of the Council-Manager plan has further in- creased the splendid calibre of the men seeking election to the alder- manic board. This is no doubt oe- casioned by the fact that a busy and capable man is willing to act on a "board of directors," whereas he is unwilling to spend a large propor- tion of his time looking after the de- tails of the city business, as he was compelled to do under the former system of Mayor and council control, BANK IS ROBBED Pinconning, Mich,, Nov, 17,-- Two bandits held up a garage own- er to get-a car to make an escape, and robbed the Pinconping Bank of between $8,000 and $10,000 to- ay, (n Memoriam GIBSON--In loving memory of our dear sister, Annie Gilmore, be- loved wife of Benjamin Gibson, who departed this life November 17, 1926, The hand which ruled the Universe Reached out and took away, The Sister whom we loved so well Just two years ago today, And while we miss her very much In memory will never cease The thoughts of one who has gone before To that Home where all is peace, Ever remembered by her loving sisters, : Ellen and Margaret, (1168) GIBSON--In loving memory of my dear mother, Anpie Gilmore, the beloyed wife of Benjeman Gib- son, who entered into rest, Nov, 17, 1926, Thou art gone but not forgotten Never will your memory fade Loving thoughts will plways linger Around the grave where you are laid.

HOIG PRAISES LITTLE THEATRE Acting Good and PFlays Given With Grace and Delicacy The following letter has been re- ceived from Dr. D, S, Hoig commend- ing the Little Theatre Movement in the city of Oshawa, Editor of the Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir: 1 would like to express through your columns the great pleasure it gave me to hear the excellent per- formance given by the "Little Thea- tre" movement in the Rotary Hall on Thursday last, The acting was uniformly good and the "Last Min- uet," in particular, was given with a grace and delicacy not often seen on the professional stage. That this result was achieved in a few weeks' practice and with a group of people drawn from entirely within the city, is a great tribute to the ability and discrimination of the producer Mr, J, Craig whose capa- bility in this direction has long been held in high esteem in Winnipeg, It is certain that no city in Canada is more in need of the spiritualizing and uplifting influence of such a movement, and it is to be hoped that those of us who feel the urgent necessity will stand behind it mos§ earnestly, Yours very truly, D. 8.
