Daylight saving was also an absolute handicap to the farmers, and farming was the hasic was no coercion nd to get signa- tures, Mr, McKinuo: explained, The petition was gotten up hurriedly and' signed by the men, \D; B, Carlyle prasented a petition in favor of daylight saving signed by 75 per cent, of the employees of the Williams Piano Company, stat- ing that 256 per cent. who were asked to sign were not opposed but simply vouldn't sign. The Company view- ed the question from the same view- bint as the General Motors. Al- though a much smaller concern, to e cut off from Toronto two hours meant a lot, ' In support of the employees of the Pedlar People who had signed a pe- tition wanting daylight saving W, H. Hall addressed the Council. The same business viewpoint taken by General Motors applied to Pedlars. The measure he thought would be in the best Interests of the town.~<He asked Council to also consider the young men who spent much time out of doors after work, athletic organ- izations bringing honor to the town. The petition favoring the measure|" was signed by 25 per cent, of the plant employees, Mr. Hall said, T. K. Creighton presented a peti- tion signed by 70 merchants around the Four Corners who wanted doy- iight saving, also a petition signed by 100 per cent. of the employees of he Oriental Textile Company. Peti- tions were also in circulation in the Fittings and Malleable plants.

He contended that the matter was settled at last meeting and that any further motion would he out of order. Coun, Moffatt thought that in view of the largely signed petitions and representations made by the manufacturers, that the Council should take steps to have daylight saving operative here. The manu- facturers claimed it was essential to their business. Oshawa was being advertised os a manufacturing town and nothing must be done to injure present or future industries, Osh- awa must come into line with other places that had adopted the meas- ure, Coun, Preston was at a loss to know why those in favor of daylght saving came with their petitions now when the Council had dealt with the matter weeks ago. To change that decision now would put the Council in a bad light. He favored a vote of the people. Coun. Alger recalled that Coun- cil had changed its mind in granting pool room licenses, Deputy-Reeve Hill said he was noi surprised to see the petitions. He! realized it was quite a hardship to manufacturers not having the same time as Toronto. Coun. Alger recalled that he ask- ed at last meeeting that the matter be laid on the table unless further petitions were presented for or against the measure, Coun. Brown took the part of the mothers who had to get up an hour earlier to get the man of the house and the =chool children away, and be worried with them an hour longer at night. He was unalterably oppos- ed to the measure. Coun. Trick though daylight sav-, ing was a matter for the minion | government to deal with. While he] realized it was a hardship not to have the same time as Toronto still there was the question of train serv- ice. Coun. Stanton favored leaving the question over and if the people rep- resented that they wanted the new time it was up to the Council to grant it. Coun. Burns said that the rail- ways had adopted their local time tables to eccnform with daylight sav- ing in Toronto. He did not think it made much difference as far as shipping went. Coun. Moffatt took issue with) Deputv-Reeve Mason in his state-| ment that farmers should be corsid- ered with the industrial conditions of Oshawa. He could not see it in that light. He suggesied that the matter be left over in view cf the Absence of several members and to give others to Coun. Preston suggested that only the names of ratepayers should be cousidered om further petions. Evangelist (Continued from page 1) reward for services.

[3 1 Council Desires (Continued from page 1) brought In a report recommending pavements for the henefits of a new industry, W. E. Phillips, Ltd., and the Schofield Woolen Mills, The first pavement would be laid on Front street from Albany to the southern boundary of first Avenue, the cost to be paid by the town to the extent of $3483.66 out of moneys payable un- der the Thornton Rubber Company agreement, assigned to the new com- pany and to be turned over hy them to the town. The second pavement would go on Centre Street from Fair- banks Street to the northern hound- ary of C,P.R, lands and on Avenue Road from Centre Street to Simcoe Street for manufacturing and business purposes and generdl con- venience of the public in reaching the C.P.R, depot, . There was a lengthy diecussion, in which Coun, Trick held that it was the duty of the Board of Works to recommend all pavements. Council- lors Burns and Moffat of the Manu- facturers Committee upheld their action in bringing in the report, the latter doing some piain talking re- garding Oshawa's duty to its manu- facturers, particularly a new industry financed by a well known local man and asking no concessions from the town, Both Councillors held that it came within the jurisdiction of the manufacturers' committee to reco- mend any improvements for the henefit of manufacturers. He defin- ed manufacturers as not only those who had money invested in plants, but also the workers who were im- ployed in the plants. Coun. Trick said that he was not opposed to doing all he could for the manufacturers, but he thought that Coun. Burn's committee had over- stepped its authority. A yea and nay vote was called for by Coun. Burns and Moffat on a motion to adopt the report of the manufacturers' committee, Couneil- lor Moffatt said that he wished to have recorded those those who were opposing helping manufacturers. Councillors Burns, Moffat and Stan- ton supported it, but a motion to | adopt an amendment that the report | be referred to the Board of Works was carried by Councillors Trick, Al- ger, Hawkes, Hall, Preston, Brown and Hill.
