OSHAWA'S PRIVATE (Continued from Page 1) know Ontario had an agreement with Quebec in anti-bonus legislation, "This legislation is hampering the growth of outside municipalities," said Mr, Sinclair, The Oshawa bill asked permission to purchase between 20 and 50 acres of land to be used for industrial urposes, but sections asking to erect uildings upon the land had been struck from the bill, Oshawa civic officials contended both Toronto and Hamilton under federal legislation have powers not granted smaller municipalities in connection with the disposal of their harbor lands, thus placing the small- er cities at a disadvantage, An amendment to the bonus limitation act to ermit 'municipalities wider powers in dealing with industries was urged, A, E, Honeywell, Ottawa, declared he had changed his opinion-and that an amendment to the bonus act should be brought in immediately. Favors General Change Col. Price It is too big a question to settle in one or two bills, I think we should make a general change that will safeguard municipalities when they have purchased land, not so that they can give it away, We will ask Mr, Wilkinson to frame something that will not go too far," Deputations from both cities and members of the commission ap- plauded.

BILL DISCUSSED] Railway Board Orders Opening Third Avenue Across Oshawa Railway ! Railway Company Gives Voluntary Consent to this Action, so Formal Order Issued Without a Hearing Being Necessary SATISFY RESIDENTS OF OSHAWA STREET Order Enables City to Close Part of Oshawa Street and Sell to W, E, Phillips Co. for Development Purposes Permission to open Third avenue across the Oshawa Railway tracks has been granted by the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada, the city council was notified at its special meeting last' night, The railway has given voluntary con- sent for the opening of the street so that all that was necessary was a formal order to open the street, The order was referred to the city property committee of the council, which will decide what work is necessary in putting the crossing in proper condition for traffic, and will probably author- ize the work to be done in the near future or recommend to the council that the work he authorized, All work on the crossing is to be done at the expense of the city. The city applied to the Board of Railway Commissioners for this order, to enable the city to close Oshawa street from First to Third avenue and convey this portion of the street to the W, E, Phillips Co, By acquiring this part of Oshawa street, the Filling company unites two large blocks bf land which it owns, one of which is now built up with plants of the Phillips and Du- Plate Safety Glass companies, and the other to the east, across Osh- awa street, Since Oshawa street was in the way of future develop- ment work, the company desired this portion of the street to bs conveyed to them to allow them to proceed with any expansion that became necessary, Enables Expansion Allan Phillips, vice-president and who is acting as president of the W. E. Phillips Company in the ab- sence of Col. W, E, Phillips, stated to The Times this morning that there was no immediate develop- ment contemplated by the company, but the assurance of being able to obtain the portion of Oshawa St, made possible by the Railway Board's order closing Third av- enue, would allow them to lay plans for development at any time withe (Continued on Page 5) Born oh SHREVE--On Wednesday, March 13, 1929 ,to Mr. and Mrs. G, FP, Shreve, 53 Ritson road south, a daughter, (628) Too Late to Classify ROOM AND BOARD, DOUBLE and single rooms, For one or two gentlemen, 156 Oshawa Blvd, (62¢) chase 2 mew radio soon.
