Christma Well Contested Good Scores Made by Local Trapshooters for Poultry There was a splendid turnout of shooters Mopday . mbraing at: the grounds of the local Gun Club when the annual Christmas poultry shoot was held. Besides a good represen- tation of members was a large number of visitors present to enjoy the day's sport, The grounds, traps and club house were in excellent shape and it is the general opinicn that few city clubs have such an ideal location and layout as the Osh- awa shooters, The warm weather was to the liking of the contestants and some fine scores were made, All events were keenly contested and thoroughly enjoyed. Twenty shooters participated in' the first event of twenty-five birds which was run on a handicap basis Poultry prizes were awarded, George Miller winning first place and a goose, while M, 8»>ules, who was tied with FP. Rowden, W, Rowden ana R. Flintoff for second place, won out in the shoot-off, winning the duck. The scores were:-- . Broke Hdk. Score George Miller .. 24 26 F. Rowden ..., 23 W. Rowden ..., M.

Considering that meith- er team had much practice the ex- hibition was exceptionally good and at times the pace was as hot as in a semi-final fixture. The mild weath- er had made the ice soft and the go- ing especially in the last period was very heavy. Nine players were used by Port Hope and the men looking after the subbing had a busy time.

Your Vote and Influence IS REQUESTED BY H.P.SCHELL AS CITY COUNCIL FOR WARD 5 (FORMERLY CEDARDALE) Polling at Temperance Hall in Ward 5 REPRESENTATIVE OSHAWA, DECEMBER 27th., 1922, TO THE RATEPAYERS AND CITIZENS. TOWN OF OSHAWA, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :-- Seeing that I am candidate for Mayor for 1923 I wish to bring to your attention with as few words as possible, my record as esuncitlor during this year. € RELIEVED UNEMPLOYMENT After the election, the Striking Committee, saw fit to appoint me Chairman of the Board of Works Committee Immediately after my appointment, I interviewed the Town Engineer with regard to starting the men to work on the Base-Line and Westmount Sewer, as we had a pumber of unemployed men in the town-at that time, but I was disappointed to find that the plans had not been completed. F Ted the Town Engineer to work day and night to have these plans completed and passed by the Provincial Board of Health. This was done on Jan. 18, and work was started on Jan, 19 Wa employed between one hundred and one hundred and fifty. men all winter on this sewer. This relieved the unemployment situation here last winter. rely SECURED COMPETENT ENGINEER One of the planks of my platform for last year, was the engaging of one en- gineer for the Town instead of two, as the two engineering departments were con- tinually clashing one with the other; there was not only the waste of money, but it was impossible to get good results. Shortly, after the election I was appointed on un committee with the Mayor and Mr. Conant, Chairman of the Water Com- missioners, to advertise for a competent engineer to take charge of all of our en- gineering work We got in toueh with Mr. Chester Smith, our present Engineer. Mr. Conant and myself were favorably impressed with Mr. Smith. The Mayor said: "I am opposed tog the whole scheme No matter what vou do it will ¥ost the town more money." I brought in a recommendation to the Council 'that Mr. Smith be engaged. The council gave me their support, and Mr. Smith was engaged, and has proven a very efficient engineer, and we have made a saving in this department over last year of $3,240.38, in addition to a saving of consulting engineers' fees of $7,445.88. LAID ASPHALTIC-CONCRETE PAVEMENTS There was also considerable discussion over the paving Contract this year. Another plank in my platform was that I was strongly opposed to having any more concrete pavements laid in the Town. We advertised for tenders on concrete and asphaltic-conerete pavements. : The Mayor was strongly in favour of concrete pavement, and voted the thing through the Board of Works Committee. 1 opposed it. As Chairman of that committee, it was my duty to report it to the Council. I presented the Board of Works report, but instead of moving the adoption of the report I moved "That. we go into the Committee of the Whole to 'discuss the report, clause by clause." When we came to the, clause referring to the paving contract, I moved that the clause be changed to read Asphaltic Con- crete instead of conerete, and the contract was awarded the Standard Paving Co., Limited, instead of John Carroll. There was considerable debating of the Couneil over this question which took neariy two hours, I stated that 1 was willing to stay there all night if necessary to prevent this concrete paving being laid. The Council supported me, and asphaltic concrete pavement was laid instead of concrete, which no doubt will save Thousands and Thousands of Dollars to the Ratepayers of this Town. Te OPPOSED PUR( "HASING OF STREET FLUSHER There was also the question of purchasing a street flusher. I claimed that we did not have enough miles of pavement to warrant the expenditure. A By-law was submitted to the people to vote $8,900.00 to purchase a Flusher. The Mayor sup- ported the by-law. I opposed it. The By-law was defeated. We turned one of our sprinklers into a flusher which has given excellent results, and the stfeets have been cleaner this year than ever before. . KEPT THE PRICE OF COAL DOWN 1 was appointed chairman of the Fuel Committee along with Reeve Morris and Councillor Johnston. &Shaertly after this committee was appointed, the Mayor called a special meeting for the purpose of purchasing a schooner load of Welsh Coal. 1 strongly opposed this, as I had received reliable information that there would be 507% dust before this coal wolild be delivered in Oshawa, and which could not be possibly sold for less than' $20.00 a ton. The Counel} supported me, and this coal was not purchased. We had several meetings with the Coal could not sell the coal for less than $20.00. Prices all around us were from $15.50 to 16.50 a ton. The Fuel Committee then stated that if the coal dealers would not reduee their price, that it would present a resolution to Council, asking the Fuel Controller to set the price. ~The resolution was passed and inside of two days, the Coal Dealers had reduced their price from $20.00 to $18.00. Elias Rogers of Toronto is selling coal today for $15.50 per ton. It costs 40 cents additional per ton freight to bring the coal from Toronto to Oshawa. Why should Coal be Three or Four Dollars per ton higher than in the City of Toronto? The Fuel committee have delivered hundreds of tons of coal to the people of Oshawa at a reasonable price, and there are hundreds of tons of coal still rolling towards Oshawa, 1 venture to say that if it had not Leen for the Fuel Committee and the Council. you would be paying Twenty three and Twenty four Dollars per ton for coal to-day. iy s dealers, and they argued that they MY PLATFORM 1 am in favour of the Dominion Government co-ordindting the Railroads bes . tween Toronto and Cobourg, and electrifying portions of the C. N. R. and. Toronto Eastern. This will not only provide an electric road to Toronto, but will bring the Chippewa power to Oshawa, and we' will not have to guarantee any bonds. to the tune of $770,000.00. We should have a new building by-law. only for a village like Columbus. We should also have a residemtial by-law, making certain streets residential and business districts. . ' I am supporting the by-law for the completion of the $20.000 Westmount sewer. We should keep after the Dominion Government until they give us a harbour at the Lake. We are entitled to it. Se Our efforts should be continued to procure a subway at the Grand Trunk Crossing. This is essential to connect Cedar Dale to Oshawa. We have taken in Cedar Dale which makes an extra ward, and which should receive just the same Susntion as any other ward. We are morally bound to give Cedar Dale a square The by-law we have now is suitable WiLL GUARD TOWN TREASURY I am opposed to raising the assessment of the Town, as the ratdpayers are staggering now under the burden of Taxation. How can you hope to keep the taxes down, when the Town's money is being wasted. I will guard the Town ' Treasury, and will give you one hundred cents value for every Dollar Spent. i honestly feel that I can be of service to the Town. Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, my record is before you." If it méets with your approval, I will ask for your support, I have had 20 years business experience in the Town of Oshawa, and if elected will serve the Town to the Best of my ability. Wishing you one and all a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Faithfully yours, : W. J. TRICK. \ . A ta p-- pha Mngt MIA -
