back : 2 E-- TT. or ---- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1929 PAGE THREE Believe Two-Cent Gasoline Tax Increase is ¢ Into In tter- . able Glass for Automo- biles, Machine Guards, etc. -- New Building Re- cently Constructed Is Now Being Occupied ONLY DU.PLATE PLANT IN THE DOMINION Product Is Already Finding Ready Sale in Canada and Production at Oshawa Factory Is Expected To Steadily Increase v -------- fear of Canada, which is a new ndustry in this city, is getting into operation, and already a staff of ten men are employed in the new factory building which was erected during the fall and winter, This company, while it is in Osh- Awa connected with the W, E, Phil. lips Company and has a plant im- mediately to the rear of the Phil- Up factories on First avenue, is distinctly a new industry in that it makes a product that is not made fn any other factory, not only in Oshawa but in Canada, The W, B," Phillips company last year acquired the sole rights of making Du-Plate Safety Glass in Canada, and im- meditely the new company was or- ganized and work start? rn the erection of a factory building, J. B, Pangan, general manager of the company explained to The Times representative yesterday af- ternoon, many interesting details about Du-Plate Safety Glass, in its manufacture and uses, This glass looks simple enough -- being a *glas sandwich" with celluloid ce- mented between the two sheets of glass--but in reality the processes of efficient manufacture are many and intricate, Even the matter of temperature has to be strictly watched in making the product said Mr, Pangman, The two sheets of glass are about balf the thickness of ordinary plate glass, and are carefully treated with # thin, even coat of cement on the foner side, Then they are pressed together with a thin film of cel~ luloid between them, and the fin- fshed product is shatter-proof -- even the hard blow of a hammer eannot make a splinter fly, The bility of the glass is as clear ss in a sheet of plate glass, and to accomplish this care has to be taken that the film of cement is of correct thickness and applied even- ly and at the right temperature and that the pressure is constant and correct, Du-Plate has a distinct advantage over other safety glass in that it ean be cut, bevelled, ground or worked in any of the usual ways, the same as plate glass, and does not discolor, declared Mr, Pangmun Other forms of safety glass are prone to discolor, and for that rea- son the edges have to be perman- ently sealed before the piece leaves the factory, The glass cannot be cut nor the seal broken, or the effee- tiveness of the glass is lost. In that , Oshawa's product is superior, u-Plate is now standard equip- ment on several cars made in Cana- ds, including Cadillac and LaSalle of the General Motors line, and is rapidly. being adopted as optional equipment on many others, said the neral manager of the company. t is also finding uses in other fields such as guards for machines, be- ecsuse of its non-shatterable qualit- fos. At the present time, practically the entire output of the Oshewa plant is taken up by replacements of other glass in automobiles al- ready on the road, said Mr, Pang- man. As goon as the plant gets well r way, it is expected 50 men will be employed, and it will then be ble to supply some of the fac- demand for the product, Personal Notices RECEPTION Mr. and Mrs, James Cook are celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on Tuesday, March 5, end will be at home to their friends at the residence of their son, Mr, W.

"Canadian Fisher", Canadian Na- tional Steamships, steamed out of Halifax on February 23rd bound for Bermuda, the Western Islands and Belize, it was the last voyage of this stout vessel in that particular trade, As soon as the "Fisher" swings northward again and term- inates the voyage at Halifax she will end her career as a passenger steam- er and her future remains unsettled as yet, The "Canadian Forester", in the same service will sail from Halifax on March 16th, and that will also be the last voyage of this vessel in that particular trade, The two are sister ships and were built in the Tidewater Yard, at Three Rivers, Quebec, one being launched, August 14th, 1920, the other September 20th, 1920, They were designed for the Atlantic cargo trade but it was de cided to place them in the West Indies service and provide passenger accommodation, For this purpose they went to Halifax and were con- verted at the shipyards and in 1921 began in the West Indies service, The extent of this service will be appreciated when it is noted that the final voyage of the "Fisher" will be her seventy-first, These sister ships, the "Fisher" and the "Forester", are of 5100 tons deadweight and are stoutly built, each having proved her seaworthin- ess, They provided only small pas- senger accommodation but it was comfortable in character and hun- dreds of passengers from every part of Canada who sailed from the St, Lawrence ports, or from Halifax, on board these steamers have pleas- ant memories of enjoyable voyages and good fellowship. The size of these steamers allowed the quick development of friendly relation be- tween passengers and officers and ev- erybody who travelled on these ships always refers to the family spirit Which prevalied as soon as they cast off, TODAY'S PRICES ON PRODUCE MARKETS : WINNIPEG GRAIN Winnipeg, Mar, 2.--(Open prices) --Wheat, May, 1-8 lower to 1-4 high- er at 132 to 132 3-8, July unchanged to 1-4 higher at 133 3-4 to 134 1-8; Oct,, 1-8 to 1-2 higher at 132 3-4 to 133 1-8, Oats, May, unchanged to 3-8 lower at 49 3-4 to 49 3-8, CHICAGO GRAIN OPENING Chicago, Mar, 2.--(Open)--Wheat, Mar, 125 3-4; May, 130 3-8; corn, Mar. 96 5-8; May, 100 7-8; oats, Mar, 48 1-2; May, 52, NONE O' THAT "Have you seen her joke columns?" | "No, I didn't get a chance--she' kept her skirts pulled down-- Judge, Ri Coming Events 8 Cents per word each in sertion, Minimum charge for MADAME ROSE, PALMIST, wr | 21 Maple St. Phone 2372F, Hours 2 to 9.

G, Carswell, local manager of Biggar, Turner and Crawford, said that he did not think that the graded scale of taxing stock sales would make any material difference in the business, in his opinion it was simply inaugurating a more modern method of administering the tax, C, N, Hen- ry, manager: of F, O'Hearn and Com- pany's local office, pointed out that several Toronto stock brokers had expressed the opinion that it would affect trading in low priced stocks, but preferred to not make any furth- er statement on it, S, F, Everson, manager of Stobie, Forlong & Co, said that he had not yet given the question. sufficient study to make a statement, The provisions of the new budget are that, instead of the present flat tax of three cents on each transfer of a share of stock or of a bond, a grade scale of one to four cents is effected, On the sale of all bonds, other than Dominion or Provincial bonds, a tax of three cents for every hundred dollars or fraction thercof of the par value of the bond is levied, four cents on stock at a price over one hundred dollars per share; three cents on, stock valued at $20 to $100; two cents on stock of $3 to $20 per share; and one cent on stock of $3 or less, These changes are 'to come into effect May 1, SURRENDER "The man who gives in when he is wrong," said the orator, "is a wise man, but the man who gives in when he is right is--" "Married," said a weak voice in the audience. --Tit-Bits, SAD BUT TRUE First Wife: How long had you known your husband before you were married ? : Second Ditto: I didn't know him at all, I only thought I did.--Answers.

"Lady Soniers," Canadian National Steam- ships, will sail from Halifax on Ap- ril 13th next, the first of the new ves- sels to go into commission under the terms of the agreement by which Canada is to furnish a fortnightly mail, passenger and freight service between Canadian ports and Bermu- da, the Bahamas and Jamaica. R.M.S. "Lady Rodney," in the same service, will sail from Halifax on April 29th, Each steamer will complete the voy- age at Montreal and thereafter dur- ing the open season of navigation on the St, Lawrence these fine vessels will make the voyage from Montreal. The "Lady Comers" and the "Lady Rodney" are practically sister ships to RMS."

The banana space will allow of the carriage of 100,000 stems and on ar- rival at the home port, special re- frigerator cars designed for this trade, will run along side for expedi- tious transfer and shipment, The ship arrangements will allow of rooms at various temperatures, air cooling and brine cooling and provision has been made jor loading and unloading through the side, R. M. S, "Lady Somers" and "Lady Rodney" are of approximately eight thousand tons, the length over all 1s 438 feet, extreme breadth 60 feet 3 inches, and a maximum load draught of 23 feet. The vessels are of three island type, with a large bridge poop and forecastle, The new ships have a large single funnel and two pole masts, The hulls are painted white with red boot topping and the funnel is painted in three bands of red, white and blue, suitably proportioned. The vessels have been constructed in accordance with all requirements of Lloyds, the British Board of Trade and the Canadian Board of Steamship Inspection, The safety measures pro- '| vided are of the best practice m compliance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, The new vessels have been designed to carry 107 first class passengers, The design, decoration and furnish- ings of the accommodation have been A, | carried out in the best possible man- ner and each vessel follows an en- tirely different scheme of decoration. When these steamers are in service on the St, Lawrence it will be pos- sible to make a holiday trip from ?1 Montreal to Bermuda and return in ten days and other attractive holi- day tours will be made available, ho WEATHERMAN | " re BBS Nah hh Streets full of slush, Rain and snow; Motorists in a rush, On the go; Pedestrians mussed-- Splashy roads; Dry cleaners fuss To clean the clothes, ® kx It's mostly fair and mild today, folks, according to the Ontario 'offi- cial prophet at Toronto, So Sunday will probably . see many motorists skipping services in city sanctuaries to bask in the balmy breezes of spring sunshine on Ontario highways.

Disapproves Gas e in Formal Protest to Government Board of Directors Makes Motion Following Discus sion of Increase to Five Cents of Gasoline Tax by Premier Ferguson's Gove PUBLIC IS NOT RECEIVING BENEFIT Large Revenues Received by Government Converted to General Treasury Instead of Going to Highway Construction Program, is Claim Made After consideration of the proposed increase by the provincial govern- ment of the gasoline tax from three to five cents per gallon the secretary of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, Leon Frazer, was instructed at the hoard of directors' meeting yesterday to forward a resolution to the provincial government disapprov=- ing the proposed increase, Discussing the matter at the meet- ing the members of the board dis- cussed information complied in the { public accounts of the province of i Ontario, which showed that a great deal of the revenue which was be- ing receipted from the present tax of three cents besides revenue from licenses, was going, not into the im- provement of highways, but into the general treasury of the government, This, the board thought, was not the way it should be, since, after paying for improvements, the tax-payers should benefit extensively by the re- venue which rightfully should go in- to that channel, Curbing Program "Why should Mr. Ferguson de- mand an additional gasoline tax when he states that he is going to let up on the extensive road construction program from now on," was one point considered by the- board? "A few days ago Mr, Ferguson declared that during the last few years a large pro- gram was carried out in regard to highway building and improving, and that the time was now come when this could be curbed," pointed out Mr. Fraser, in discussing the direc tors' decision, "If the tax is increased the revenue which will be received from the additional tax increase should go not to the treasury, but to the maintenance and constructive program for highways in the prov- ince, thus giving back to the payer of the tax that which he rightfully deserves." "It is true," the board "that the man who uses should pay for it by the tax, but he is entitled to consideration when thc question comes up as to what is go- ing to be done with this tax revenue,' Budget Analysed Comparing the budget submitted by Hon, Dr. Monteith, provincial treasurer in regard to revenues from gasoline taxes and licenses in the province for 1929 with the revenues for 1928, Mr. Fraser stated that $11,- 758,004.74 was received during 1923. This figure consisted of gasoline and licenses alone, Expenditures in this department amounted to $17,699,- 949.890 made up of $4,578448,17 as ordinary expenditures. and $13,121,- 501.72 for capital expenditures, The latter being bonded and spread over a period of years, t is the claim of the Chamber of Commerce that the revenues from ga- soline taxes and automobile licenses are already more than sufficient to meet the ordinary expenditures and the debt retirement charges for high- way purposes, and this being the case, the chamber feels that there is no justification for a higher gasoline tax. JURY SYSTEM NOW ON TRIAL IN JAPAN Tokio, Mar, 1.--The surprising- ly few defendants who have taken occasion to ask for trial by jury and the fact that appeals from jury verdicts have been based on the claim thatt he judge was prejudie- ed are two of the outstanding re- sults of the five months' trial of the jury system in Japan. admitted, jury since October 1, when trial by jury became effective in all paris of Japan. The defendant is not required by law to be tried by jury, but is given his option of this form or the older form of trial by judge. Of the 26 cases, the charge of "guilty" has been found in six, 4 for murder and two for arson. Ap- peals have been taken in four of the cases on the ground that the jury's verdict has been based on tht charge that the judge wen summ- ing up, did not confine his remarks to the legal aspects of the case, but expressed his personal opinion as well. The Ministry of Justice is faced with the problem of provid- ing an adequate number of court stenographers to take down all the testimony, the arguments of the lawyers, and the instructions of the judge as a result, AIRING THE PARTY Hostess-- "There's a terrible draft coming from somewhere, Mary."
