THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1928 PAGE THREE City Will Employ Independent Expert to Report on Childish Appeals For ~ Christmas heer Keep Pouring to Committee Cheer Fund Grows Slowly and the Need is Greater Than the Response --Lit- tle Child Wonders if San. ta Will Pass Her By Again This Year -- Time is Short ~--Generous Hearted Osh- awans Must Act Quickly "Dear Santa: I was wondering if you were going to visit us as we have not had Santa visit us yet and we thought we would like it this year, There are so many little chil- dren here, I guess he was afraid to come," This communication from an un- fortunate little girl is the reason the daily appeal goes out to citizens of Oshawa, requesting help from that source where money is not every- thing, But money has the same value the city over, and a little of your money goes a long way to- wards providing necessities for the needy this coming, Christmas, Last Hope The above letter was written in pencil by an' eight or nine year-old daughter of some father who has been out of work for many weeks, and this family has not been able to benefit from a visit of jolly old St. Nick, For her the annual ex- pectation of Santa's visit is of no worth, for he has not come in her younger years, so why should he me this year, But she makes a st request, hoping that citizens of Oshawa will give Santa the tip that she and her sisters and brothers live here, and that they deserve some- thing more than just the bare neces- sities' of life. d so she is waiting--for an an- swer ~to her letter--praying that Santa will visit her home and leave a few good things to eat and perhaps a toy or two so that Christmas will be Christmas as it has. never been for her, Christmas--a time of pleas- ure, as we would all want her to enjoy it, Will She Get It 'We can only picture this young girl as one for whom Santa would £ a, great deal out of his way to elp, answer to a letter--Will she get it? It is up to us , Make the dream be- come a reality, When the facts of the case are presented to us we shudder to think that there is a home. which has not been visited by the Christmas Spirit for many, many years, It is too much a thing out of the ordinary.

J. McLean, assistant chief com- missioner; who delivered the judg- ment, was provided the city coun- 1 in a letter received last night from Ainslie W. Greene, K, C,, Ot- tawa, who has been acting as spe- cial counsel for the city in the ap- plication before the Board. Mr, Greene informed the council that the closing of Albert Street would not be left as a matter of barter, as had been the opinion locally, but that it would be in- cluded in the final order of the Board, with the cost of closing the street assessed against the railway and the city in the same propor- tion as the rest of the subway ex- pense, As soon as the city agrees to the closing of Albert street, the order- including this clause will be made. The Board will direct that about, $100,000 of the total cost of approximately $250,000 will be paid out of the Railway Grade Crossing Fund; the next $11,000 will be paid entirely by the Cana~ dian National Railways and the Oshawa Railway company since it is the extra cost of making the sub- way larger to accommodate the Oshawa Railway Company's street car service. The balance, or some~ what less than $150,000 will be div- ided as 57 per cent against the rail- way and 43 per cent against the city. The railways' share of this last $150,000° will be approximately $86,000, and the city's share $64, 000, 'Thus, with the other $11, 000, the railways' share of the cost will be about $97,000 while the city's share will be approximately $64,000 plus the cost of paving the street through the subway. At its meeting last night the council also appointed Aldermen J, Stacey, G. D. Conant and 8S. Jackson a special committee, with Alderman Stacey chairman, to con- tinue negotiations with the rail. ways on the subway. question and file a report for the information of next year's council, Mr. Green's letter tion read: #1 have now had an opportunity of considering carefully the judg- ment delivered in the subway mut- ter by Dr. S. J. McLean, assistant chief commissioner of the Boara uf Railway Commissioners for Cas: ada, "In order to avoid any posmse dcubt after I had made up my mind as to what the judgment signified I consulted Dr. McLean whea he confirmen my interpretation of the judgment, "The judgment is conditional up- on the City of Oshawa agreeing to include in the scheme the closing of Albert street. All that will ve necessary inathat regard is for the City of Oshawa to signify to the Board of Railway Commissioners that it is willing to undertake the proceedings necessary for the clos- ing of Albert street, but of course that does not mean at the expense of the City of Oshawa, It means that the closing of Albert street will be taken in as part of the scheme and the whole expense will be divided in accordance with the judgment. "If the city agrees to inclnde the closing of Albert street the formal order will then be worked out in the following way: "(1) A contribution will be dir- ected from the Railway Grade crossing fund to the amount of 40 per cent of the gross costs of the work but mot exceeding fin ali $100,000. "(2) The next $11,000 of the cost will be charged against the National Railways. "(3) The next $150,000 will be divided, $86,000 against the Can- adian National and $64,000 against the city of Oshawa. This is a little better for the city, than 57 per cent against the National and 43 1% 'cent against the city, 57 per of explana- cent of $150,000 is $85,000 and 43 per cent is $64,600. You will see that $500 is taken off the eity and added on to the National Rail- ways by the arbitrary division into $86,000 and $64,000. If the sum involved should be in excess of $150,000 the balance would be div- 57 per cent against the Na- Railways and 43 per cent against the City of Oshawa. If the amount this branch of thed the subway the scheme paid for the City - bors and friends for flowers and fruit and kindness during her re- cent illness.

GREGORY'S CLOSING St. Gregory's separate school will close for the Christmas nol days tomorrow morning and will open for the new term om Monday, January 7. Rev, Father Bench stated that the early closing was not due to depletion of staff and student body through influenza, but mainly a precautionary measure, All the examinations have been completed, and it was thought that the scholars mright well be better playing in the out-of-doors than possibly exposed to colds and flu germs indoors, BECOMING COLDER tThe Weatherman says colder weather will prevail tonight with snow squalls and colder weather and northwest winds and snow flurries tomorrow, The weather will be moderately, not decidedly, cold. It is still fair and mild in the west and nothing in the way of severe inter weather as yet appears on the weather map. BYLAW HELD OVER The bylaw to provide the Board of Education with $261,600 for the erection of a technical school was laid over by the council last night until a special meeting, Ow- ing to some technical errors in the drawing up of the bylaw, it was considered inadvisable to try to pass it last night. The special meeting for the purpose will prob- ably be held this week. BUTT CAUSES FIRE Fire caused damage of $10 in the Engel building at 11.30 o'clock this morning. Although the flames had not gained much headway by the time the fire department had arrived, there . was considrable danger to the other stores in the building. Fire was caused by a cigarette butt which ignited a pile of papers on the second floor. It was the second fire in the same place from the same cause in a year, the other fire taking place March 19, 1928, in which a $2000 damage resulted, NOT INJURED Harold Heard, of Whitby, driv- ing west on King street east, at 6 o'clock last night, struck 8.

LOTS OF SMOKE A smoke scare took place at 210 Albert street last night which ocg casioned a run for the fire depart- ment. Although no fire had brok- en out, the real cause for the ex- citement centered in the fact that paint on a hot stove pips had com- menced to smoke. KNOCKED DOWN BY CAR A peculiar. accident occurred at the corner of Bond and Simcoe streets at 6 o'clock last night when a young girl was knocked down b) a ear driven by A. O. Felt.

CITY TREASURER SOUNDS JOYFUL NOTE AT BANQUET (Continued from page 1) proud of the way this year's work had been conducted. Alderman A. J. Graves looked back in six years of connection with the council, and congratulated the mayor on the fairness in which he has conducted municipal affairs dur- ing his tenure of office, The alder- men were all the best of friends, he said, although they fought matters out in council meetings to a finish.

Mitchell, chairman of the Board of Education, mentioned 2 cri- ticism made of placing the proposed technical school as an addition to is retiring from | the Collegiate. If any mistake had been made, it was five years ago when the large addition was built, at the top of the hill, he said. The pre- sent situation means that if the tech- nical school is built as a separate unit, the ratepayers would be faced with considerable increased expendi- ture due to necessary duplication of heating plant ano other accommoda- tion which will not have to be plac- ed in the proposed technical school addition, There is no smoother work- ing organization that the Oshawa Board of Education, said Mr. Mit- chell, its 125 teachers and 25 other employees earrying on very harmon- fously. City Officials The toast to "The City Officials" was proposed by Alderman George T. Morris and P. A, Macdonald.

Ex-Mayors City Clerk F, E.

D. Conant and F. L. Ma- son. The work done by the council this year had been very creditable, he thought. : Assessment City Assessor R. H. James said that his department was proud of the increase that it had been possible to show in the assessment this year. This was largely due to the new sys- tem of assessing buildings, adopted in 1925, and he forecasted that next year his department would take up the matter of a.complete revaluation of land in the city. John Gibson, chairman of the Board of Health, said that he was young men of the council dropping out, The city meeds several young men in the council, for they become more useful as they receive the ex- perience, and they provide a fresh viewpoint, He lauded the work done by Medical Officer of Health, T. W. G. McKay, saying that he was one of the best health officers in the Province of Ontario. City Engineer W. C. Smith point- ed out that this year, 30 per cent. of all the pavement in the city has been laid, also over 12 per cent. of all sidewalks now in the city, and 15 per cent. of all of the sewerage sys- tem. The city has "grown out of the mud" in a short time, and had become fine looking, well kept mp, and well governed. strong hope that three industries that are now carrying on negotiations with the city will locate in Oshawa by next April. r con- templates an extensive publicity cam- paign next year, having not expended the whole amount voted for this pur- pose this year. Chief of Police Owen D. Friend said that mo council in the city had so assisted his department as this Fears body. Fire Chief W. R. El- also said that he was proud to serve under this council, for in 10 years of connection with municipal councils he had never worked with 2 committee so umanimous as the present Fire Protection Committee. Entertainment was furnished by Percy David who sang several solos and led in community singing.

These and any other questions will be voted upon probably a month or so after the municipal elections, The report of the special com- mittee dealing with the purchase of the electrical and gas systems was adopted last night without am- endment, providing that the com- mittee be empowered to engage an expert in gas manufacturing to ex- amine the system thoroughly and report to the council, to give the city an independent opinion as to the worth of 'the system and the expenditures on replacement and extensions that will probably be necessary in the next few years. The special committee on the pur- chas of these system will probab- ly prepare a report for the consid- eration of the 1929 council, as it will be impossible to complete ne- gotiations on the matter before the end of the year. The report reads: Your committee nas from the Hydro-Electri¢ Power Commission draft agreements for the purchase of the electrical and gas distribution systems and has had several conferences witn the engineers and solicitors for the Hy- dro Electric Power Commission and with the commissioners themselves relative to these draft agreements. Your Committee recommends that further consideration of these agreements be left with your com- mittee before reporting finally, thereon, ; Your Comrmittee has carefully considered the purchase of the gas plant and distribution system which has presented more difficulties to your committee than the purchase of the electrical distribution sys- tem. Your committee recommends the employment of an exnert in the gas manufactyring and distribu- tion business to examine the sys- tem thoroughly and report to this Council, in order that this Council and the electors of Oshawa may have all possible information as to the present condition of the sys- tem, the probable eapital expendi- tures, required to take care of fu- ture requirements and the revenue which may be expected therefrom and a general and independent sur- vey of the whole system. Your committee recommends that it be given 'full power to act in engag- ing the best expert available and on the best possible terms. In view of the great importance of this matter, the very consider- able amount of detail involved and the desirability of having accurate information for the Council and the citizens of Oshawa before the by-laws are submitted, 'your com mittee recommends that the voting on these by-laws be deferred un- til some convenient date in the New Year after the municipal elec- tions.

A, JOHNSTON Who is the star performer af the New Martin Theatre tonight and tomorrow night, ILLUSION ARTIST SHOWS HIS TRICKS AT NEW MARTIN Bert Johnson and Madame Muriel Win Applause from Large Audience Bert Johnston, magician, illusione ist and escape artist, made probe ably as great an impression as any visiting professional when he pree sented his "Show of Mysteries' at the New Martin Theatre last night. Mr, Johnston had with him a well-trained company of assistants who graced his stage with a presence of refinement and knowledge of the magic art which made his production all the more mystifying and entertaining. Whereas that portion of his program was for the grown-ups alone there were many tricks and sleight-of-hand effects which made the children fairly leap in their seats, Rabbits, doves, guinea-pigs and chickens appeared and disap- peared into thin air before the awe-stricken audience, proving that when one visits a magile show one must resign themselves to what is going to happen, and not attempt to figure out the course of events as they should logically take place were they im existence in life as it really exists, $s Madame Muriel, a psychic medis um of well-known repute won from her audiénce that respect heartily due here. Although skis made no definite statements about the legitimacy of her act, she en- tertained in a most pursuasive manner in the art of the reading of sealed questions, while appars ently in a world of the "spirits". Her reading of questions which were unknown to her proved » strong factor in her art for which she received merited applause, As a ventriloquist, Mr, Johme ston is supreme. His "Dummy"? actually is believed to talk, snd but for common knowledge I$ would appear that it did. The whole entertainment fis of such fine calibre that parents should not be afraid to take the children and go themselves to see Bert Johnston and Co., magician, The show will be repeated today and tomorrow.

ER CTY FATHERS 0 G0 UNPAID Council Refused "Leave to Introduce" By-law Last Night Oshawa's aldermen will not be paid for some time at least, The heralded by-law providing for an annual fee of $200 for the aldermen sitting on the city council, was last might killed be- fore it was introduced, by a mo- tion that it "be mot introduced". This question which has been bob- bing up at intervals during the year was thus settled as far as this year's Council was concerned. It was the opinion of most of the aldermen om the council that, in the first place, payment of this sum to the aldermen would cheap- en the position so that many quali- fied men would perhaps mot wish to become members of the coun- cil and, on the other hand, just before election time was rather the wrong time of year to imtro- duce the question, TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY YOUNG .
