REPARATIONS BANK NEWEST PROJECT Experts Will Discuss Advisa- bility of Creating Trustee Bank (By Assceiated Press) Paris, Mar. 9. -- Elaboration of plans for a trustee reparations bank will claim the attention of the ex- perts on reparations over the week- end, The project of a trustee bank was being re~arded with more fa- vor, it is said, the more it was ad- vanced. Few if any objections have been raised and they are of a minor character, Fear expressed in some quarters of possible predominance of such a financial super-power is not even regarded seriously in competent circles, Among the many questions of detail yet to be worked out and to be discussed Monday is the source of the capital, which may run as high as $500,000,000 marks (about $130,000,000). Y ! To this capital would be added the 200,000,000 marks now fn the hands of the agent general for rep- arations, The theory is that 2 bank with resources equivalent to $180,000,000 would be able to dis- count Germany's export bills and make a substantial profit for the German state, But if creditor and neutral countries are to supply the capital they naturally will ex- pect to share the benefits in its use.

BEAUHARNOIS POWER SCHEME IS GIVEN APPROVAL Announcement Made in the House of Commons Yes- terday Afternoon Ottawa, Mar, 9.--The dominion cabinet yesterday sanctioned the application of the Beauharnois Light, Heat and Power company for approval of plans for a power canal" between Lakes St, Francis and St, Louis on the St, Lawrence river. The scheme involves a di- version of 40,000 cubic feet per second and will enable the company to proceed with an initial power de- velopment of 500,000 horsepower, It is estimated the proposal will cost $65,000,000 approximately. Announcement of approval of the plans of the company under the navigable waters protection act was made In the house of commons yesterday afternoon by J, C. Elli- ott, minister of public works. The decision of the government con- cludes a long-drawn controversy be- tween rival power interests Montreal, Stipulations are attached to the government's approval. Probably the most important is a rovision that' should the dominion authori- tles at any future time desire to use the canal constructed by the Beauharnois interests as a part of the great St. Lawrence shipway, this substantial link, estimated to cost $16,000,000, will become the property of the people of Canada free of cost. The company has to construct this canal between Lake St, Frane eis and Lake St. Louis acgording to specifications which will make it suitable for ocean going ships.

J, Trick in speaking to the Kiwanis Club at its weekly meeting in Welsh's parlors last evening. Mr, Trick, who was mayor in 1924 when Oshawa was erected into a city, outlined as a preliminary some of the changes made after 1922, when he first entered the council, until Oshawa became a city, In 1922, he said, there were two engineers one for the water works department and one for the municipality, This sys- tem was changed and W. C, Smith, the present city engineer, engaged to take both positions, Another change put into effect by the town council in that period was the cessation of laying concrete pavements, and the laying of the first asphalt Javement by the Standard Paving Company. This change has in the years since saved the city hundreds of thousands of dollars, Mr. Trick declared. Citizens Were Enthusiastic The mayor of 1924 recalled the cold, raw day March 8 that Oshawa received its charter as a city, The weather did not dampen the marked enthusiasm of the citizens, however, and several hundred feet of motion picture film taken of the celebration and subsequently shown across Cane ada did much to advertise Oshawa, said Mr, Trick, Jt was fitting that Oshawa's birthe day as a city should have come in March, Mr, Trick remarked, for it certainly meant the beginning of a "march" of progress, The only reas- on March 8 was chosen for the event was that it was the first legal date to proclaim Oshawa a city after the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board had given its consent, Some criticism had been made at that time because certain citizens felt that it might be more costly to carry on separate from the county, but the city's growth has Jong ago made this idea seem ridiculous, Then too, said Mr, Trick, the naming of Oshawa a city has added a prestige that it never could have had as a town, Assessment tion Dealing with the modern discussion of a change in the basis of assess- ment, Mr, Trick said that he was personally opposed to the raising of the basis of assessment, alth it might lower the mill rate, This ques- tion was broached even while Oshawa was still a town, Mr, Trick remind- ed the club that, by law, the council cannot spend more than 25 mills on the dollar for general purposes, and that, with the ration of assessment kept down to 40 per cent, as it is ay, this provides a real check on the amount of money that can be spent by the council. This year, for instance, the city is spending 22 mills for general purposes, which leaves a levy of three mills, Mr, Trick touched briefly on the Deep Waterways question, stating that all civic bodies should make a determined and continued effort in support of this development and also of the -development of the Oshawa harbor, In the absence of President A. J. Parkhill, Director Ewart Everson oc- cupied the chair. Mr, Trick was in. troduced by Elmer Dixon, who point- ed out the fitness of Mr, Trick's sub- ject owing to the fact that yesterday was Oshawa's fifth birthday, Died JACOBS--On Thursday, Merch seventh, Gertrude, only daugh- ter of Carolina and the late Rob» ert Henry Jacobs, (58s) TRULL--Suddenly, at Kelowns, B.
