H, Price. It is understood that the private bills committee of the legislature, of which Hon, Mr, Price is chairman, has taken this attitude in regard to similar private bills for other ciides, The attorney-general informed the council that the government was taking this stand because if cities were allowed to purchase land and erect buildings on it, the municipality would be taking all the risks of depreciation in value of land and buildings, and that there would be a danger that, in disposing of the land to manufac- turers, too low a price would be fixed. Aldermen Preston and McLeese thought that when the bill came before the committee that a strong delegation should go to To- ronto from this city, and be pres- ent at the time of hearing, They suggested that by exerting strong pressure the bill might be forged through. At the invitation of the couneil, Leon Frazer, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and Indus- trial Commissioner, explained more fully the attitude of the attorney- general on the question. Already several cities had been seized with this same idea, and no doubt if it were allowed to go through at all, there would soon he keen competi- tion among municipalities who had purchased an industrial area, to sell land at a ridiculously low price to prospective manufacturers, This the government had felt, would de- feat the purpose of the statute to limit bonuses to manufacturing firms, OSHAVAPRIVATE [Railway Council To Ask For Opening of Third Avenue Over C.N.R. | CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS Commissioners Asked to Hold Hearing Regarding Crossing New Crossing Would Provide Egress to the City for Resi dents of Oshawa Street South of Third Avenue -- Motion Passed Asking the Water Commission to Lower Its Rates -- Special Meeting to Be Held on Thursday to Consider the Civic Budget for 1929 WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL DID Requested the board of railway commissioners to hold a hearing with respect to the opening of Third Avenue oyer the CN.R. tracks.
