MOFFATT TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS Mayor Stacey Opposes Resolution Asking That Option Given To Hydro Commission for Purchase of Toronto and Eastern Railway be Cancelled Until Accord With Co-ordination Motion is Amended--Plan in Policy of Government (By a Staff Reporter.) A mammoth delegation represent- ing every municipality between Port Hope and Toronto will wait on Pre- mier E. C. Drury in Toronto on Tuesday afternoon in connection with a proposed scheme for the elec- trification of parts of) the Canadian Northern Railway between Port Hope and Toronto, and the clectri- fication of the Toronto and Eastern Railway between Bowmanville and Pickering, with connecting spurs giving access to the ©. N. R. The premier of the province will he ask- ed to lend his influence to the dis- trict's request, which will be made at a later date to the Minister of Railways at Ottawa to undertake this scheme. Such was the decision of the meeting of delegates from the municipalities concerned, which was held in the Whitby Town Hall on Thursday evening. The meeting was truly representa- tive of the area affected by the scheme, including as it did mayors, reeves, deputy-reeves, Town Council: lors and men prominent in every walk of life in the district. Mayor F. W. Burns of Whitby occupied the chair, while Councillor R. Mof- fatt, of Oshawa acted as secretary of the meeting. The kernel of discussion was re- garding the proposal to electrify the /. N. R. from Port Hope to North Oshawa; the spur line in Oshawa to the Toronto and Eastern Ralil- way; the Toronto and Eastern Rail. way between Bowmanville and Pick- ering and the C. N. R. between Cherrywood and Toronto, and to build a connecting radial line be- tween Pickering and Cherrywood at a cost of less than $100,000. In brief, it is a plan to electrify lines that already exist. The Toronto and Eastern is graded from Pickering to Bowmanville while rails are laid be- tween Whithy and Bowmanville. To Choose Speakers. Mr. Fred Richardson, Warden of Ontario County and Councillor Mof- fatt of Oshawa, who acted as secret- ary of the meeting, will select the speakers for the delegation, which will interview Premier Drury. This committee will also make all ar rangements for an appointment with the Minis er of Railways at Ottawa. Those who will be in these two de- legations will pay their own ex- penses. Mr. Fred Richardson, Reeve of Pickering and Warden of Ontario County, was the first speaker to ad- dress the meeting, and pointed out the objects of the gathering. He made reference to the fact that the Dominion Government has adopted the policy of co-ordination in con- nection with the railways and men- tioned the deficits which these roads have been piling up. No matter what policy the government might pursue in connection with the railways and in view of the changes that may be wrought in the tramsportation faci- lities of this district, he thought that all were united in a desire to see radial transportation jin this area. Mr. Richardson could not call to mind a-district such as this between Toronto and Port Hope, which has not am electrical transportation sys- tem. In this connection he remind- ed his hearers of the advantages be- ing derived from radials by such centres as Windsor, Beamsville, Brantford, Aurora, Newmarket and the towns. The advantages of radial transportation, the speaker pointed out, were that it gave rapid and fre- quent transportation, besides which it served as a means of supplying light and power im those districts through which the radial line rums. Many Stations Closed. Pursuing its policy of co-ordina- tion the government has, Mr. Rich- ardson inted out, closed many stations on its C. N. R. line from 'Toronto to Port Hope in an endeavor to direct traffic to the G. T. R. lines. He then laid on the table a large map showing the route of radial line which advocates of the scheme had drawn up. This map had been drawn up by those instrumental in cmiiing the meeting and showed plainly the ra- dial line which they favored. This was that the government electrify the old C. N. R. line from Rort Hope to Oshawa, eleetrify the spur line to the Toronto and Eastern tracks in Oshawa; electrify the Toron- Only One Level Crossing, Continuing, Mr. Richardson show- éd how the radial line would be able to enter Toronto with only one level crossing, as it would be using the old line of the C, N, R, The three miles of radials line that would have to be constructed from. Cherrywood to Pickering weuld not, the Warden thought, cost more than $100,000. In the endeavors of this district to get this radial line, Mr. Richard- son thought the backers of the scheme should receive the support of Premier Drury. When the meeting was thrown open for discussion, De- puty Reeve Frank Mason of Osh- awa stated that he was glad that Mr. Richardson and he saw eye to eye on this matter, In the past he and the Warden had not always seen eye to eye on radial transportation pro- posals for the district from Toronto east, This scheme, however, he des- cribed as a safe, sane proposition. As a result of his remarks the follow- ing resolution was presented to the meeting. Moved by E. M. Crocker, Reeve of Scorboro. Seconded by J. Baker, Reeve of Darlington. "Whereas in the year 1919 'the Hydro Commission on behalf of the municipalities from Bowmanville to Toronto secured from the Govern- ment of the Dominion of Canada an option for the purchase of the To- ronto and Eastern Railway, ,"And whereas the said purchase was never consummated, "And whereas the Minister of Railways of the present Government of Canada has announced the policy of the Government whereby the dif- ferent railroads owned by the Gov- ernment are to be co-ordinated, of which policy we approve, and in or- der to facilitate the carrying out of the said policy, "Therefore be it resolved that we, the representatives of the munici- palities between Toronto and Bow- manville, request the Honorable Min- ister of 'Railways to cancel the said option." Speaking to his motion, Reeve Crocker, of Scarboro, pointed out how his township had voted its bond for $900,000 on a radial scheme but (Continued on page 2) HOME TELEPHONE (0. QUITS WHITBY Bell Co. To Relinguish Certain Territory at Brooklin and Pickering The Home Telephone Co., or as it is more commonly known, the In- dependent Telephone, has withdrawn trom Whitby after carrying on ser vice here for about fifteen years.; Henceforth, only one company, the Bell, will give telephone service to the town. . This step has been takei after a period of lengthy negotiation be- tween the Bell and the Home Com- panies. In every instSuce, with the exception of two cases, in the corpor- ation, there was a duplication of ser- vice, all h or pl of busi that had an independent phone hav- ing a Bell phone also. This meant a double telephone charge, but busi- mess men were obliged to have 2 Home phone in order to reach the many farmers in the surrounding country who had Home service and not a Bell phone. This has ong been the subject of an endeavor to eliminate needless duplication, and matters have fin- ally come to the point where the Home phone exchange has been re- moved from the office of E. R. Blow, where it has been located since its incept'on in Whitby; Home phones have been removed from every place where a Bell phone was located, and the: two subscribers to the Home Co. who had not Bell service were link- ed up with the Bell. For the present, Bell subscribers may get connection with Home Co. phones through Brooklin or Picker- ing exchanges, free of charge, but it is understood that later, when all matters regarding the change are settled, a fee will be charged for connection with other exchanges.

The children at the first meeting held in every town hold an election of offi- cers who hold office during the stay of the big tent in any cen- tre, This year the election of offi- cers for Oshawa's Junior Chau- taugua resulted as follows: -- Mayor, Karl Hann; Chief of Police, Douglas Henderson; Health Officer, Grace Pennel; Town Clerk, Margaret Ander- gon. This morning the children had a delightful picnic at Lake- view Park, being motored to the lake shore from Alexandra Park where they had all as- sembled.

Since last fall there has been a seven cent drop in the price of the best grades of binder twine and the farmers are showing considerable satisfaction over this crop. Last fall the twine was quoted at 23 cents a pound but the prevailing prices are now 16 and 15 cents, Cheaper grades of twine can he had at several prices, chiefly 14% and 13% cents.

Estimated to Cost $50,000-- Collect Taxes Twice Yearly In Future Plans for the paving of Brock street, Whitby, from the part done last year to the Grand Trunk station were submitted Tuesday night to the Whitby Town Council by the Provin- elal Highways Department, The estimated cost of $50,000, and whether the work will be undertaken will depend on the Streets Commit- tee, to which it was referred. Louis F. Richardson was appoint- ed tax collector at an annual salary of $400. The taxes will be paid twice yearly, August 1 and November 1, with a discount of three per cent. and two per cent. will be added re- spectively if the payments are not made on time, and five per cent. in addition if they are not made before January 1. Two Toronto manufacturing con- cerns wishing to establish branches in Whitby will receive inducements from the Council. Tentative plans submitted Tuesday night were that the town will provide the factories, give a fixed assessment, with Hydro light, power and water at cost. Additional fire protection will be given the High school and new Henry Street School by the extension of water mains and hydrants. Provin- cial Police Officer L. C. Gibbons sub- mitted plans for the direction of traffic at Brock and Dundas streets. Mayor Fred Burns was not present at the Town Council meeting, as he was inspecting the new filtration plant of the Scarboro' water system at Birch Cliff with a view to adopt- ing the same thing here. An exten- sion will have to be made at Whitby shortly, largely due to the amount of water used at the Ontario Hospi- tal. Engineer W. J. Thorold has been engaged by the town to submit plans. Blue Prints of Head Stones of Graves of Veterans Are Received Blue prints of the head stones which are erected at the heads of the graves of those men who died while under government supervision, either during or since the war, have just been received by Mr. C: J. Wil- cox from the Imperial War Graves' Commission. It is this type of stone which will be placed at the head of most of the graves in the Veterans' Plot at the Union Cemetery, while a few others will mark the last resting places of other veterans where they lie in private family plots, These stones are 3° 3" long; 1° 3% wide and 3" thick. On the face they bear a cross and have enough room for the lettering of forty words of the relatives' own choosing, besides the regimental rank and unit of the soldier. These stones are sunk into for six feet under the ground and in this way assurance is received that way or another in a few years, summated.

The U.F.0. placed a large order for twine in Ireland and imported hundreds of tons into the province. The farmers sround Osh- awa in turn brought into this area tons of twine from the offices in To- ronto. Local merchants who handle twine state that the demand for it is somewhat meagre as yet but that the regular season will commence in a few weeks when there will be a general demand for the commod- ity. Fall wheat will be the first grain to he cut. Starting last month farmers began placing their orders for repair parts for their farm implements and ever since that time the demand has been well, of Saywell & Sons harness mak- ris Company, stated yesterday. All farm implements, and most of the repair parts, are down in price from what they were last year, stated Mr. Saywell, in most cases a de- crease of from 20 to 30 per cent. be- ing in effect. Asked as to whether or not the farmers were paying cash with their orders at this time Mr. Saywell stated that business was very good and there were no com- | plaints to be registered in respect to | the payments. Fall wheat cutting will be in full swing in less than a month, accord-| ing to farmers and the harvest, if | the same continuous fine weather keeps up, will come on apace. The grain crops are looking better than for some seasons and the ground is so well prepared with moisture that the tillers of the soil fear practically nothing. Red elover hay is now at- tracting the attention of the farmers and timothy is in line for cutting. DOCTORS SHOULD GIVE ANESTHETICS And Not People Less Qualified Except in Case of | m-- Describing the existing practice as a mistake but one which will prob- ably be righted in time, Dr. F. J. Rundle yesterday voiced approval of the speech of Dr William Webster, of Winnipeg, who recently declared that laws should be passed limiting the administration of anesthetics to properly qualified physicians except in emergency work in the umnpopu- lated districts. Dr. Webster was ad- dressing the Canadian Medical Asso- ciation, the Canadian Radiological Society and the Canadian Society of Anesthetics at their joint convention held in Winnipeg recently. Dr. Rundle stated that at the pres- ent time none but a qualified doctor can administer anesthetics but under the Compensation Board's h picking up steadily, Mr. 8. G.

The committee ap- pointed at the last meeting of the Parks Board to meet tthe South On- tario Agricultural Soclety regarding sanitary conveniences at the Park, and the committee appointed to meet the ball moguls regarding the ball diamond recently laid out there, ag yet have nothing to report. AUDIENCES AT THE CHAUTAUQUA HEAR SPLENDID MUSIC MacFarren Instrumental Quartette and Miss Huntington Render Fine Program Yesterday was "Music Day" in Chautauqua Week and truly delight- ful program of vocal and instrument music was supplied for both concerts by the Herbert MacFarren Instru mental Quartette, which was assiste in the evening by Miss Hazel Hunt ington. Oshawa's music lovers wer not to be denied last night, Althoug! the tent was plunged into darknes for about ten minutes shortly afte nine ©'clock, due to the storm. A the time, Miss Huntington wus en gaged in rendering an interpretativ Russian song but not only did sh finish, much to the delight of th audience, but for some time sans familiar melodies such as "Anni Laurie," and "Swanea River," whic! pleased the audience to a marke degree and kept the program fron lagging. Those in charge of the Chautauqua endeavored to light th tent by bringing up motor cars to th back walls but before arrangement in this line could be finally complet ed, the power was on again.

W. Drew, chairman of the Management Committee, states that no provision was made in the esti- mates as drawn up last spring by the Board for the supplying of these school necessities to the pupils. In- vestigation on the part of the Man- agement Committee shows that in the needs of the children is in vogue that it costs anywhere from $1.15 to $1.85 per pupil to meet the demands of the children. Oshawa has a to- tal public school attendance of 2,000 and it is estimated to supply free materials in this town will cost about $3,000 a year. If the system is adopted and is put into effect in September, the Board will. have the experience of a few months in this matter on which to hase their estimates for next year. Mr. Drew stated ' that the towns which supply free materials to the school population use varfous meth- ods to meet the expense incurred. In some places the pupils are as- sessed monthly amounts ranging from five to twenty cents, while in others the supplies are entirely free. This 'is the case in Familton. Mr. Drew personally favors seeing the supplies given out frea in Oshawa if the system is adopted. To meet the expenses thus accruing taxation is applied to the whole community, The system of fr« supplies, if adopted in Oshawa, will not extend to the High School, nor will it cover the text books used in the Public Schools. To pay for all the text books used in the Public Schools, Mr. Drew stated that it "would be out of reach." The Management Committee is securing information encored eagerly. After a delightfuli | well balanced program the evening concert was concluded by selections from songs of Old England, a number which immediately captivated thc | audience. { Miss Hazel Huntington had an en-| thusiastic reception from the full} tent that heard her for the first time last night.

Due to the recent disorders in China, culminating in civil war, fears were entertained for the safety of many of the Canadian missionaries in that land. Mrs. Jamieson, matron at the Hall, speaking to The Reformer yes- terday, stated that the parents of Margaret and Ruth Lochead, Mary and Alex. Grant and Jessie and Mor- rison Mitchell, reside in Honan but this is outside the affected area. There are no children at the Hall whose fathers and mothers are work- ing in the immediate neighborhood of Pekin, where the disorders have been most prevalent. | the house surgeon at a hospital must administer the anesthetic. The house surgeon is usually an under- graduate of a medical school and therefore mot a qualified doctor. The Compensation Board in its tariff of fees allows five dollars for this work but the anesthetic can only be ad- ministered by a doctor when there is no house surgeon available. Dr. Rundle characterized it as unfair to an injured man to have a house sur- geon give the anesthetic. In some outlying districts at the present time anesthetics are admin- istered by nurses but in these cases the doctor, assisting in the case usu- ally assumes the responibility. The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons grants the certificates le- in the province, and states that an- esthetics can only be given by a qual- ified doctor. .

SUGAR PRICE WENT HIGHER THIS WEEK Germany's Large Purchases On World Market Said To Be Responsible ! Another advance of 25 cents per hundred pounds in the price of re- fined sugar, went into effect on Mon day of this week. This annual co- incidence between an advance in the price of sugar and the opening of the fruit season always distracts the housewives of the Dominion, but dealers state that the demand at this time of year warrants the in- | crease. | Mr. J. S. Kyle, of the Kyle Grocer- ies, speaking to The Reformer yes- terday, stated that the advances in price this year may be traced to an-| other influence as well as to the in-| creased demand. This year for the first time in many years Germaay is and, according to Mr. Kyle, is "buy- ing her head off." Germany took a large proportion of the Cuban sugar crop and then when she entered the, New York market seeking cane suger. | an advance in price immediatly | followed the increased demand. The advance of this week is a direct re-| sult of Germany's purposes. | _ Sugar at the present time is retail- img at $7.75 for a hundred pounds, which is an advance of more than a dollar in the past month, sugar mov-| ing at about $6.65 a few weeks ago. Since the first of June there has been | an advance of $1.35 per hundred pounds in sugar at Montreal. DOMESTICS IN DEMAND The greatest demand for labor at the Government Employment Bureau at the present time is for Domestic Help. Superintendent Wilcox stated this morning that the Bureau has on hand requests for domestic help in homes not only in Oshawa but in the surrounding neighborhood, as well as requests for help in summer cottages. The wages offered range from #25 to $40 a month and include board and room. There is not the same demand for farm help at the local Bureau as there is at other employment offices. Detroit Free Press: We ave almost willing to bet that in the course of the towns where the system of supplying buying sugar on the world's markets s;nains. HIGHER WATER RATES OPPOSED "BY COMMISSION Further Deficits Should Be Met Out of General Taxation LET THE COUNCIL KNOW | Doubt: Whether the Recently Passed Bill Will Be Satisfactory Placing themselves on record as being opposed to any increase in the present water rates of the Town Of Oshawa to meet any deficiency that might be incurred by Invoking the special private bill granted the town at the last session of the legislature, | the Water Commission at its meeting | yesterday afternoon passed a resolu- tion asking the council to meet any deficiency that might arise in this connection by general taxation. The any such deficiency by further in- | creasing the water rates, Chairman Commissioners do not favor covering G. D. Conant stated yesterday dur- ing the discussion on the resolution |'that he realized that the Commission had no right to tell the Town Coun- i cil what it should and what it should not do, hut he wanted to see the res- olution passed -and sent on to coun- cil and fhen they could decide what should be done. The resolution as passed reads: Moved by W. by J. C. Fowlds: "Whereas, The Legislature of On- tario has passed a bill enabling the Town of Oshawa to levy a rate of 7%ec on all lands fronting on water mains, with the provision, however, that, from the amount of frontage tax so levied, shall be deducted the amount paid for water used on each property; and Doubt as to Revenue "Whereas, there is considerable doubt as to whether the above sys- tem would or would not increase the revenue to the town from water mains generally or whether it would cause a deficit from invoking the system; and "Whereas, the Water Commission feel that the water rates are now. as high as they can or should reason- ably be; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, that the Water Commis- sioners place themselves on record as taking the position that the water rates of the town should not be rais- ed any higher than they now are to meet any deficiency that may arise from invoking the new system, and that, if the Council invokes the new system and a deficiency arises as the result of so doing, the same will have to be met out of the general taxa- tion and not by further increasing the water rates in the town." During the discussion previous to the passing of this motion, Mr. Co- nant stated that if the law were in- voked "there will be a horrible mess in bookkeeping and the town will lose money." Mr. Conant then ex- plained that by loss, he meant the town might not realize as much money under the new system as they could under another. Solution Offered Mr. Conant offered what he com- sidered a satisfactory solution of the problem. This was that two nates be established in the town, one rate for people on mains that pay no local improvement tax and another rate on mains where a local improvement tax is paid, lower than the rate om the first mentioned mains, to an ex- tent calculated to absorb or equalize the total paid by the different classes. The purpose of it would be that the main of a man who pays on local improvement would pay, adding his local improvement tax and his water rate together, the same as the man on a main where no local improve- ment tax is paid, as nearly as it can be figured out. Some New Mains Town Engineer Smith did not have all the information at hand ing the comstruction of new water A special meeting of the Commission will be held in the near future to discuss this matter and deal with all petitions on the sub- ject. The engineer pointed out that due to the fact that the town is pav- ing certain streets that new mains are being laid on some thorough fares. About 600 feet have been laid up to the present and mains will be laid on Ritson Road as soon as he can get the men.
