THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1928 sm---- TE WHITBY Representative--JAMES HOLDEN Phone, House 15---Office 484 Justice ce Raney Sugg Seeks estions to Solve ont Problems (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Nov. 20--Deploring the in- crease in ¢he number of motor fatalities throughout the province, His Lorship Mr. Justice Raney, in his address to the Grand Jury at the opening of the fall assizes of the Supreme Court of the County of Ontario, urged that the members of the jury, as representatives of the public, might bring in some recom- mendation which would tend to help solve the problem created by the automobile and the improved high- way. Justice Raney pointed out that he had found a number of motor acaidents were directly attributed to the drivers of cars being under the influence of liquor. Previous to coming to Whitby, His Lordship stated, he had tried three cases of manslaughter in which liquor had figured. Permits and Permits Justice Raney suggested that the jury urge that when any man applied for a permit to drive a car he be i whether he possessed a liquor 1¢ this proved to be the case then the permit could he exam- ' » whether the holder was a moderate or immoderate user of intoxicating liquor, Work For Prisoners The most important function of the Grand Jury, His Lordship de- clared, was to consider the public welfare, In the jury was an admir- able opportunity for the expression of public opinion, Referring to the inspection of county and other pub- lic buildings, Justice Raney, referred the jury's attention to the adoption of prison labor in the county jail at Kingston. The prisoners had been taught to manufacture tile and dur- ing the year a revenue of approxi- mately $2,000 had been produced, In the ordinary jail, the prisoners had nothing to do but loaf around and he thought this to be a vicious thing as it often meant the hatching of much mischief, Purpose of Juries His Lordship then explained the technical purpose of the jury--that asle of hearing indictments, He stated that with the development of an effi- cient judiciary syst s phase of the Grand Ag hy had become o minor importance, a it served ect anyone from being wrong- an the Crown being oe AE to d any innocent man from an unfair ie anal, Referring to Serio. murder indict, ment against Mrs, Nora Chappell, of Oshawa, resulting from the death of a young girl upon whom the accused performed an alleged illegal opera- tion, Justice Raney stated that it was a common saying that nd the Petit Jury returned a verdict of guilty the judge would pass sentence, This was not the case, he stated, for the law passed the sentence. He pointed out that there were also two other serious charges preferred against the accused woman, that of securing an abortion and third, that of procuring a miscarriage. There were also two other criminal cases, namely the charge against the young man _allegedly implicated in securing | the illegal operation and a charge of rape against a former Pickering township man, OPEN AIR RINK 15 MOOTED FOR WHITBY TOWN Board of Education Delegate to Council Suggests Flood: ing Town Park (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Nov, 20--The town pro- perty committee will take up the question of providing an open-air rink for local children, it was de- cided at the regular meeting of the council last night after it had been addressed by Trustee John Larkin, on behalf of the Board*of Educa- tion, The committee will discuss the matter with the board, Trustee Larkin pointed out that there was no place in town where the boys and girls could enjoy Canada's favorite winter sport in the open air, The bay was out of the question as it is too far away and is often dan- gerous, Mr, Larkin stated that the fact that Oshawa is without an ar- For "select male risks" from 15 to 45 the "Fxcel" policy gives excep tional all-round protection. == BENEFITS -- $3,000 for death from natural causes, $6,000 for accidental death, $30 per month and $3,000 at death for total and permanent disability ~--no premiums payable during dis- ability, INSURANCE Name EXCELSIOR LIF Econrany MAIL THIS TO.DAY H, A.

The main business was trans- acted with dispatch including the re- ceiving of several communications. A communication received from Mrs. J. B, Laidlaw of the Cedar Nursery Co, with regard to the gra- velling and repairing of Pine street met with little sympathy from the council as it was the general opinion that the work on the road had been well done, A request from James Moore for a refund on the amount he has paid for a double lateral connecting with his property was granted. Although charged with a double lateral it had been found that there is really but a single lateral, The refund to be paid is $13.28. A request from the Dundas street Home and School Club for free use of the council chambers for the pur- pose of holding a tea and baking sale was also granted upon motion qf Councillor Dave Mowat, chairman of the property committee, Lease of Lakeshore A recommendation from the ex- ecutive of the Chamber of Commerce urging the council to enter into ne- gotiations with the Dominion gov- ernment for the léasing of a strip of lakeshore property between the east pier and the town pumping station, met with a favorable reception. Reeve Jackson pointed out that when members of the council and the Chamber of Commerce visited the lakefront recently it was decided that the property should be much im- proved as it is the approach to the town's only sand bathing beach, Upon the reeve's recommendation, seconded by Councillor Threadgold, it was determined to leave the mat- ter with the property committee with power to act, Notice from W, H. Kennedy on behalf of his clients, Mr, and Mrs, Mathew Shaughnessy, asked for damages for alleged injuries that Mrs, Shaughnessy received when she fell to the sidewalk on Centre street when she slipped on a faulty drain cover. This was referred to the Globe Indemnity Co, The council adjourned at 10 o'- clock, after being in session for only two hours, All members were pre- sent including Mayor Bateman, Reeve Jackson, Deputy Reeve Un- derwood, Councillors Wm.

Cragg, B.A, B.D, and the choir from King Street United Church, Oshawa, took charge of the meeting. In his opening remarks Mr, Cragg expressed the great plea- sure it was for him to occupy that particular pulpit on account of the close friendship he had with a num- ber of former pastors of Trinity Church, The sermon was brief but intensely interesting, his theme be- ing "The Church of Tomorrow." Mr, Cragg is a fluent and forceful speak- er and held the close attention of the audience, The music was most pleasing, The anthems were beautifully rendered and the leader, Mr. Trencer, was complimented on the perfect control of his choir. The anthem "We Should See Jesus' was particulary well sung. The solos by Mrs. Far- row and Mr, Herring were both well rendered as was also the duet hy Mrs, Farrow and Mrs. Foster, The program closed with an organ solo by Mr. Treneer which was an out- standing number, showing his com- plete mastery of the organ, It was a delight to'listen to his playing. Altogether it was a most interesting service and the congregation is look- ing forward to a return visit of King Street's minister and choir, Light refreshments were served to the visitors by the ladies of the church, oUTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AT BOWMANVILLE Mr, and Mrs, C, M, Cawker R-membered By Friends, Showered With Gifts Bowmanville, Nov, 20--Through an oversight the name of Miss Helen Bunner, Ontario Ladies' College, Whithy, was omitted from the list of those taking part in the program at Trinity United Church on Thurs- day evening last. Miss Bunner has sung on several occasions in Bow- manville and it has always been a delight to hear her voice, She pos- sesses a charming personality and is assured a hearty welcome whenever she visits the town. A privilege not enjoyed by many was granted Mr, and Mrs, C, M, Cawker, Centre street, when they celebrated on Saturday, November 17th, the 59th anniversary of their marriage.

He com- plained of the 'high handedness" of United States immigration offi- cers, but worked untiringly to get the men released on bail, putting up $12,600 personally in the pro- cess, At least 70 were arrested, at least 20 jailed, and four or five are still behind the bars. Those Mr. Fraser is now trying to free. Forced to Sleep on Jail Floor So many men were hastily thrown in prison, Mr, Fraser charg- ed, that many had to sleep on the floors, He intimated that there were 'heated proceedings" among the imprisoned Canadians before lights were turned out. The contract, Mr, Fraser points out, is being executed not by the Canadian firm but by Fraser-Brace Engineering Company, a separate American organization. Mr. Frager arrived in St. Johns bury Wednesday, to find that 20 United States immigration officers had that dav made a round-up at the eamn. They had broveht with them 57 warrants, Only 20 of the men named con'd be found.

ELECTRIC PLANTS (Continued from Page 3) fully discussed, After negotiations, which extended over some hours, your committee obtained from the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario a compromise figure for the purchase of all the 'assents above referred to for the total sum of $520 000. as of October 81st, 928, To this amount will be de- ducted all operating profits on the wo systems after nay sty 1928, and to those amounts will be added interest charges and capi- tal evpenditures after the sald dare, "Your committee recommend the nurchase of the two systems at the above rice (8£520.000,) as of Oc- tober 31st, 1928, and that an a~ree- ment with the Commission and the Provinee of Ontario be arranged and all necessary bv-laws prenared for presentation to this couneil, sn that the whole matter mav he vot. a1 on hy the ratenave: of the eitv of NDshawa as soon as nossihleg an at such date as the City Council may determine, Under Commission [ mend that upon the purchase oi these assets the control and man agement of the same, along with the local waterworks system be mission for the City of Oshawa, "Your Committee recommend that Alderman John Stacey be ad- ded to this Committee, "Your committee recommend that Messrs, Long & Davies Toron- to, be cngaged to assist the city solicitor to prepare by-laws, agree- ments and other documents neces- sary for the presentation of the question to the electorate," Rates Increased In presenting the report of the special committee Alderman Con- ant reviewed the hydro from the time that the local private- ly owned system was purchased by the Hydro Electric Power Com- mission in 1916 and incorporated in the Central Ontario Power Sys- HIGH GRADE EQUIP: MENT KEPT IN PER FECT CONDITION, MEANS RELIABLE SERVICE "Your committee further recom- placed under a Public Utilities Com- | & tem, There bad been no change ia the situation or in the power rates until early last year, when, owing to the expiration of the original fin- ancing proposition the Commission found it necessary to re-finance the ventral OUnatario Yower System. this resulted in an increase in power rates, whicli average for the small dwelling a 37 per cent, in- crease, for the small store a 20 per cent, increase, for the small power used 12 per cemt, for the arge power user 15 per cent. for the street lighting 18 per cemt. At that time the Hydro Commission an- the assets of the system and sell ing them to each municipality. Bargain Referring to the "present agree- ment, Mr. Conant said that the com- mittee was satisfied that the price of $620,000 was the best bargain the city could hope to make. Some revision would be made in this fig- | ure, for the surplus revenue be- tween October 31, 1928, and the date on which the system is taken over by the city, is deducted from | this price, and interest and capital charges accruing in the same per- fod are added on to it. The amount would not vary a great deal, though. Power Used in the Central Ontario system per tire power production of the sys- tem, Oshawa has been the producer of the largest surplus in the whole Agtriet, and in 1927 the operating "urplus for the electrical plant was "88,000 and for the gas plant was #33.700. This surplus in the past was not credited to the city but as spread over the whole system he. munieipality, "tated, was that, when they are laced under the control of a Pub.

Favorable Rate Another point of Alderman Co: t's argument was that, when de -entures are issued by the city t¢ ay for the purchase of the plants hey would not have to be placed »n the open market but would b accepted by the commission as pa ent, and v. hen the city retired th: debentures it would buv thenr bac! from the commission, The com mission would allow the very fav- orable rate of interest of 4.75 per nt, which is the rate the Province 2y8 on i'n Inn7 toprm bonds, Friend of Pcople Alderman J. Stacey sgreed thar the fact that debentures would not have to be sold for this was a very imnortant point. He re- marked further that the Hydro Tlectric Power Commision was a | friend of the peonle, and hod sav-d the people of Oshawa from a rath- er unpleasant sitnation when ft hourht out the private owned elec- tric system here. He was sure they would be fair with the city in every way, Tron a aneatinn hy Aldapmon Morris, Alderman Conant explain- a4 that it made no differanns what date the city took over the syrtem ng canital exnond'tvres to the eity ench as street lieht evteneione would he charged to the city, and all operating surpluses after Oct- nounced the policy of unscrambling The city of Oshawa uses 9,000 | horsepower of the 48,000 produced | year, or ahout one fifth of the en- | "ne of the best arruments he hao | 'or the purchase of the plant bv!
