Neither the council nor the Chamber of Commerce desire to issue any statement concerning the result of last night's meeting, but it is probable that the matter will be brought up at the next regular meeting of the town council, Gives Views of Whitby The Times obtained an interview with the representative of the east- ern concern last night and althougn he was reticent concerning the pro- position which he was laying be- fore the Chamber of Commerce he discussed freely the opportunities for locating in Whitby, He regard- ed the town's rail connections and proximity to Toronto as favorable factors. He admitted, however, that his concern had other Ontario municipalities in view and would take some time hefore finally de- eiding upon a new location, Better Market Here "We believe that there is a bet- ter market for our product in On- tario than. in Quebec,' he stated, "for the reason that electricity is more widely used in this province than in any other. We would de- sire to be close to Toronto, but have "not determined to go east, t or.north of the city." e Quebec gentleman had be- cdmd quite familiar with Whitby ag le visited here last year and had been shown points of interest by: Mayor Bateman and Dr, G. L.° MeDougall, chairman of the Cham- bér of Commerce industrial com- mittee. i Factory Lacking The lack of a vacant factory building was named by the firm's representative as .the chief draw- back which might be encountered in: moving here. Most towns, he thought, had one or two vacant in- dustrial buildings, but this was not the case in Whitby. He was quite interested when told that the pop- ulation of the town was 3,720 in 1928 and would likely increase to 4,000 in 1929, The harbor was not regarded by the company's representative as of- féring any particular advantage to a small firm. ' *The prospect of shipping 'by water might prove attractive to a large steel company," he: declared, "but it gives no special advantage to a small industry." HIGH SCHOOL SOCIETY WILL PRESENT PLAYS (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb. 1.--~The Whitby High School Literary Soclety is presenting two short plays, namely 'The Bishop's Candlesticks," from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables," and "Station Y.Y.Y.Y.," by: Booth Tarkington in the town hall on ¥riday, February 8th, Musical numbers and drills will also be presented and those who recall the fine showing made by the high' school dramatists last year will not fail to be included in the audience a week from tonight. FIRE INSPECTOR MADE A VISIT TO WHITBY YESTERDAY Council Hopeful That Lower Insurance Rates Will Result from Inspection (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb, 1.--Yesterday, for the first time in four years, an in- spector of the Canadian Fire Un- derwriters' Association, inspected Whithy's fire fighting equipment, including the fire trucks, hose, pump house, and hydrants. Al- though he refused to make any statement, it is understood that everything was found in, good or- der and the town council 18 hoping that as a result of his report, low- er fire insurance rates may result here, The inspector arrived yesterday morning and the whole fire comr- pany was called out. A trip was then made to the harbor with the big motor pumper, the firemen and the inspector being accompan- ied by Mayor L. Dudley, Councillor Wm, Davidson, chairman of the fire and light committee, Council- lor Jas. Ormiston, chairman of the property committee, Geo. W, FP, Every, public utility superintend- ent, town engineer H. L, Pringle, and Town Clerk John R. Frost. Abundance of Pressure The pumper travelled the dis- tance to the. harbor bridge in rec- ord time and the firemen on re- quest of the inspector, broke a hole in the ice and dropped the "suck- er" into the water. Four lines uw hose were connected in short order and within a very few minutes four powerful streams of water were projected from the hose by means of the big motor pump, There was an abundance of pressure indicat- ing that the machine had been kept in splendid working condition, Plant Inspected Inspection was also made of the pumping station which is equipped with electric motors and an auxil- liary steam plant. Everything wis found in order and the charts in- dicated that high pressure was be- ing maintained. Tests of hydrants were conduct- ed at various points within the municipality and none were found frozen. The report of the Under- writers Association will be await- ed with interest as it has been felt that the municipality is well pro tected from the ravages of fire and is therefore entitled to lower rates.

INVESTIGATION OF MOTOR INSURANGE RATES ORDERED (Continued from page 1) the present increased rates will stand. Mr. Price said. According to Mr, Fo- ster, he continued, it might take months to get the required data. It is expected that work will be com- menced very shortly. Went Wrong Way About It "It cannot be said," Mr. Price de- clared, "that the insurance compan- ies adopted the correct method in making this .incrcase in rates. I would have been very much bette if they had come forward six months ago and placed their case before those in charge of insurance in the various provinces throughout Can- ada so that if an increasc im rates were necessary the superintendents of insurance in the various provinces would have had an opportunity of investigating and ascertaining whe- ther such rates were justified. "The fact that they have not done so forces the Government at this juncture to appoint a commission to investigate. To a great extent it puts the companies on the defensive. "On the other hand, the average citizen must remember that fire in- surance rates have been reduced this year and that casualty insurance rates have been steadily going down since 1923, They have accepted these re- ductions without probably sufficient gratification. There is always a tend- ency to minimize reductions and ac- centuate increases. "It is most important to the in- suring public and to the provinces themselves that large Canadian com- ranies, if possible, be built up--camn- panics which are able to transact in- surance with plenty of reserves and capital behind them as the insurance companies do in Great Britain. Brit- ish insurance companies are noted throughout the world for their sta- bility, and for their capability to co- ver the risk and to pay promptly when there is a loss. "This can only be done if there is financial strength behind the com- pany. Many of the Canadian compan- ses are in this position. We must be careful in Ontario and in fact throughout Canada to do nothing to undermine the stability of the large insuring companies which take so ibility for the warious Rasp hazards."
