ihe OSHAWA DAILY [IMES, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1929 PAGE IHREE Candidates Fo Mitc'.ell and Swanson Discuss Issues Before A Capacity Audience Former D:clares He is Can-' didate for No Organization and Latter That He Will Be Dictated to By Nobody ~--Mitchell Pledges Reduc- tion in Taxes, Better Transportation Facilitics and Street Lighting -- Al: dermen Stress the Need of : Careful Thinking With Many Big Questions Looming A capacity crowd filled the city eouncil chamber of the city hall jast night in the first public meet- jng of the municipal campaign, to hear candidates for the mayoralty, aldermanic seats and membership fn the Board of Education present their claims for support. The two candidates for the may- oralty, T, B. Mitchell and D. A. J. Swanson, provided the chief inter- est of the evening, Both of these candidates presented to the elec- tors their intended program of work, agreeing that there were many matters of ifiportance to be considered during the coming year, end that better transpor- tation, public lavatories and other civic improvements were necessary. Mr. Mitchell was impressive in the cool, unexcited manner in which he delivered his address, and in his evident grasp of all of the questions on which he spoke, He was receiv- ed with rousing applause, and re- marked as he opened his address that it was encouraging to see such a large attendance of ratepayers in- terested in civic affairs, An Independent Candidate He had heard that he was a can- didate of the Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce, but he was a candidate of no organization, Mr. Mitchell declared. "Are you charging me with that?" interrupted Alderman Swan- son. "No, I am charging nothing-- I am only nailing = these rumors,' said Mr. Mitchell, Reduce Tax Bate n issuing his platform, he put nothing on it that he did not intend to carry.out as best he could with the support and co-operation of the council, Mr. Mitchell said, The first item is a 40 mill tax rate for the coming year, "While it is a hard thing to re- duce taxes, I contend that a tax rate of 43 mills hurts the city in the opinion of mew industries or prospective citizens, A reduction of one eleventh of the taxes, to 40 mills is possible and practical," said the candidate. Let People Decide Large expenditures face the city, eaid Mr. Mitchell, for there is no doubt that some former councils have neglected to keep pace with the growth of the city. A new city hall, new fire and police head- quarters, sewage disposal plant and the subway are looming on the hor- fzon and it is a question whether the city should undertake all of them in the near future, "I certain- ly believe that under present con- ditions the council shouid pass all these questions on to the elector- ate for a decision. All larg? ex- penditures should be submitted to the people," declared Mr Mitchell. Suggests Bus Service Transportation is an important question in Oshawa. DP2ople who live in outlying districts have no means of access to the uptown sec- tion, except by automobile, whes- as they should be in an equally favorable position to residents .of the Simcoe street vicinity. If the Oshawa Ra'lway company does not feel disposed to start a bus service, the matter should be taken to the Railway Beard. This Board cou'a then give the city authority 4 grant a franchise to a bus line with- fn the citv, if necessary altering the present O<hawa Railwav Company frar-hise in this respect. The citv has not made any out- staning imnrovement in its street lihting system in 15 years. and nrm™erous streets are pnt pronerly H~hted. The lichts on Kine street east, the hichway, are very poor, for example, said Mr Mitchell Technical School In regard to the techmical schoo: Mr. Mitchell declared that when the request came to the council for the money required only one alderman bad objected to the site yet at the next meeting the by-law was laia on the table at its third reading. The Board of Education reached a unanimous decision to build the school as an addition to the Col- legiate after giving much com r- ation to'the question. If the school were placed downtown, it would mean the purchase of a site of at least five acres, which would alone cost $100,000 to $125,000, besid-s the extra expenditure for an audi- torivm. heating svstem. lavatories. scheol library and lunch room, all of which are contained in the pre- sent Collegiate Institute building ard would be used by technical school pupils if this senvol was hit as an addition to the Colles- f~te. "It is rot rood buriness to gman at least R175,000. more to inet prt the techrieal a 194414 nearer the heart of the eity," de- clared Mr. Mitchell. Public lavatories are alse a ne- eeseity and should be installed this eahnol year, said Mr. Mitchell in his clos- ing remarks. ' D. A. J. Swanson's Address Alderman D, A, J, Swanson, also a candidate for the mayor's chair, immediately followed Mr. Mitclell, He reviewed his regord as a mem- ber 'of the city council and Board of Education, but spent over half of his time making personal re- marks, endeavoring to discredit Mr, Mitchell's record of service, and attacking The Times, Mr. Swanson admitted that he could not disagree with one thing The Times had said about Mr. Mit- chell in its editorial column, nor could he say anything disrespectful about his character, He also admit- Leé that he did not have quite as iruposing a record as Mv. Mitchell, Then he proceeded to point out the service he has given in both the Board of Education, of which he was a member for four years be- fore the war, and the city council, which he has been a member for two years. Mr. Swanson declared that he was one of the organizers of the Chamber of Commerce, that he had supported the formation of a Social Service Department in the city, that he was now a supporter of the establishment of a Juvenile Court, and that the police and fire depart- ments should be brourht to an in- rreased standard of efficiencv, with the addition of more men to the pn- lice department and more eauin- ment for-the fire denartment. He anpealed to the elactors to vote for the hvdro provnosition when it is submitted to the peonle. Incinerator Needed The city should have an inciner- ator and do away with the dumps, said Mr. Swanson, quoting the ex- perience of Chatham which is hand- ling 16 tons of garbage per day with an incinerator that cost $20,- 000, Better transportation within the city and public lavatories will have to be taken care of, he said, He also referred to his experience of this year on the Board of Health. "I will be dictated to by nobody," said Alderman Swanson, He re- ceived generous applause when cloging his address, and announc- ed and that he was calling an elec- torS meeting tonight (Friday) in Cedardale Hall, . Mayor R. D, Preston Mayor R. D. Preston, who haa called the meeting acted as chair- man, In his opening remarks, the retiring mayor paid tribute to the three couneils with which he has worked as mayor, saying that at no time had they failed to give hon- est consideration to the city's busi- ness. The government of Oshawa is a big problem, with a situation un. like that of any other city, he said. He had retired because he felt the city should have a new mayor with- out any one man holding. the posi- tion too long. Although, as he lived in the south-west ward he should have perhaps run for alderman in this ward he had qualified in the north-west ward to fill & vacancy there as three old aldermen were running in the south-west ward and he did not wish to create a con- test unnecessarily. He referred to the Hydro problem, giving credit to Alderman G. D. Conant for his work on this question. What Board of Works Did Aldcrman J. Stacey, chairman of the Board of Works in the 1928 council, and who is retiring from municipal life for 1929, was greet- ed with applause. He dealt with the record of the Board of Works dur- ing the. yéar, as well as the com- mittees dealing with the hydro and gas system and the outfall sewer, of which he was chairman. The out- fall sewer will not empty near the harbour, at present plans, he said, and he felt that this immense pro- ject should be placed before the electors. The Board of Works had last year carried out a great pro- gram to the best of its ability. Al- though the Board had overdrawn its account $4,000, it had paid cash for the Simeoe South and John street bridges, totalling alone $a,- 000, and had as well paid out of its current allotment fer a street flusher, grader and tractor, which altogether meant a $9,000 deben- ture issue saved to the city. 40 Mill Rate Feasible I" There is no reason why the tax rate should be over 40 mills in 1929, said Alderman Stacey. Street pavements and sidewalks are very necessary but do not raise the gen- eral tax rate, he said. In his address, Alderman S. G. Carnell, who is running for re-clec- tion in the north-east ward, out- lined his platfornr including the completion of the eity plan; lower- ed tax rate to 40 mills whieh, ne said, is feasible and possible; ad- justment of land values: aid down town lavatories; pointing out many of the planks in his former nlat- forms that have been carried out by the 1928 council.

Inquiries are pouring into steam- ship offices, officials of the Immi- gration Department stated today. Doctors in the old country recently authorized to conduct medical ex- amination of intending migrants are already reporting a large num- ber of applicants. It was pointed out that the pres- ert season is not ope in which mi- gration from the British Isles 1x large ordinarily. and it may there- fore be assumed that the major movement later in the spring will be very heavy. 5 The $50 rate was the result of lengthy negotiation between the steamship companies and repre- sentatives of the British and Cana- dian governments. The former fare was $91.15. It applies to all who are unable to qualify for the two pound rate for houschold and agricultural workers under the Empire Settlement Scheme.
