THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1929 0 0 WNER TID THEY MUST SECURE TAGS OR PAY FINE Chief Gunson Has Notified Local Residents To This Effect (By Staff Repcerter) Whitby, Ajril 22, -- All owners of dogs in Whitby have been noti- fied by Chief H. Gunson and Town, Clerk J. R. Frost 'that their pets must be provided with tags or the owners will be summoned to ap- pear before the magistrate. There are between two and three hun- dred canines residing. within the municipal confines and last year the revenue from dogs totalled $417. A total of $315 has been collected for the town treasury to date, while there remains $102 oustanding. Recently a notice was printed in the local weekly paper warning dog owners of the necessity of pro- curing licenses. Many, however, disregarded the notice and put off the day when they would have to untie the purse strings and procure a nice, shiny tag for "Tag" or "Rover." Chief Gunson, howev- er, tried a plan of personal tele- phone interviews or letters. The scheme semed to work and many were the dollars which poured in- to the municipal treasury from lo- cal dog lovers. It would be a difficult task to determine the breeds of dog which exist in Whitby. he casual observ- er may see collies, fox terriers, Boston bulls, spaniels and pomer- anfans. There are big dogs and little dogs, some are large and dignified, others, are impudent and friendly. There are those dogs who risk their canine lives in chasing automobiles and their poses and eyes in pursuing stray cats. They ore the pride of their masters' hearts and the joy of the juvenile population. But in the prosaic business of collecting taxes all dogs are nothing more than dogs and are assessed at $2 or $5 each, ..

REPRESENTATIVE -- JAMES HOLDEN Farmers Are Determined to Seek Annexation to Whithy ~~ Township, Councillor Says Town Councillor ' Charles Broughton Declares That _ Application Will Be Made to Ontario Railway Board at an Early Date MEETING FRIDAY TO DISCUSS QUESTION Many Angles Are Involved in Fight of Farmers Against Increase in Their Assessment Made by the Town Council Recently (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 22,--Farmers re- siding within the 'municipal limits are determined to seek annexation to the township of Whitby, Town Couneillor Chas. Broughton, Dun- das street east, stated to The Times today. Councillor Broughton wish- ed to correct a statement made in these columng yesterday to the ef- fect that the farmers were not pre- pared to take concerted action. He pointed out that a represe... meeting had been held in the office of F. M. H. Irwin, Brock street north, last Saturday night and that the following resolution had been unanimously carried: '""Moved by Robert Sleep, second- ed by W. A. Broughton, that in the opinion of this meeting of the farm- ers resident in the town of Whitby it is proper and expedient to apply to the Ontario Railway and Muni- cipal Board for separation of the farm lands from the town of Whitby to be joined to the township of Whitby in order to secure a just and equitable municipal taxation. That a meeting of all farmers con- cerned be called at as early a date as possible to complete organization and sign the petition and that in- structions be given for the immed- fate preparation of the necessary papers' Meeting Next Friday Mr. Broughton admitted that all the land owners were not present at the meeting but he affirmed that the larger property. holders were present. A meeting would be held next Friday night he stated at which final plans would be formu- lated. In discussing the problems which would have to be solved if annexa- tion should take place Mr. Brougn- ton pointed out that it required the owners of three-fifths of the assews- ed property to petition for the change for it to be granted by the Railway and Municipal Board. The Times mentioned that there were a number of houses and lots situated on Dundas street east be- yond a strip of farm property which cut in like a wedge. How would they be affected? "Under the three-fifths ruling these homes would be included in the township," Mr. Broughton re- plied. "I believe there are a num- ber who would petition for annexa- tion anyway." the Then there arose school ON SALE 18c 500 Yards of Best Quality 'CANADIAN { GINGHAMS Small and medium size checks. Fast colors. 32 in. wide. WEDNESDAY ALL DAY yard question. Mr, Broughton was ask- ed whether the children of farm ers would be required to travel long instances to the township schools. "No, I think not," was the ans- wer. "A new school section might be easily created with a school close to the town," The matter of payment on town debentures was next discussed. it was mentioned that the farmers were pledged to share in the pay« ment of certain town debentures. Share Public Works "If we are made to share in the liabilities then we shall also share in the assets," Mr. Broughton de- clared. In 'his opinion the farm- ers owned a portion of the public utility system and other public works. They would have to receive compensation if they withdrew from the town. In reciting the grievances of the farmers he showed that last year a farm, situated in the township and valued higher than his own farm, paid but approximatey 75 per cent of the taxes charged against his property. Under the bylaw passed by the town council and the new assessment his tax bill would be twice that of this same township farmer. i He did not think that the town- ship tax rate was increasing as rap- idly as the town rate. He admit- ted that the township road system required increased expenditures each year but hazard the opinion that the provincial government would soon come to the assistance of all the townships. He felt that the farmers were being misunder- stood by the town people and that in the township the local land own- ers would be farmers among farm- ers, LADIES' COLLEGE ALUMNAE MEETS (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 22.--The regular meeting of the Castle Chapter, On- tario Ladies' College Alumnae, was held at the home of Mrs, Dr. Bascom, King street, yesterday.

Dainty refresh- ments were served later. REPARATIONS PAR- LEY BREAKS UP (Continued from Page 1) should raise their offer very close tn the French and Belgian figures. Ovteide of the German group there was no one who thought any fur- ther useful discussions could be held 'on anything else but the final repert. Committee on Report : Those who took up the question of how this report should be framed and what it should contain were Dr. Schacht, Owen D. Young, Emile Moreau, Emile Francqui, Comman- datore Pirelli, Kengo Mori and Sir Josiah Stamp. Three Viewpoints Some of the experts wanted a brief statement of the failure of the committee to accomplish the task committed to it. Others wanted a full report of everything that went on during the life of the committee. There was a third tendency, beliewed to have American representatives behind it, to select for the report what was significant and useful for future reference, leaving out every- thing that can serve no other pur- pose than to. establish responsibilities or lay down points of policies. The report was thought most like- ly to comprise the whole scheme for an International Bank and the re- ports of the sub-committees on de- iveries in kind, Whether the three memorandas that form the basis of the real work of the committee's figures shall be incorporated is what the chief experts were discussing to- day. There was little objection to including Mr, Young's paper laying down the general principles for ne-: gotiations of annuities, The Ger- mans, however, were little inclined to favor publication of their mem- orandum in answer to the creditors' proposal, if the German figures are not included, the allies' figures also will not be included. Minority Report The question of whether there is likely to be a minority report will be settled only when the report is fin- ally acted on, and the Germans may ask to be relieved from signing the document and be permitted to put in a report is finally acted on, and the Germans may ask to be relieved from signing the document and be permitted to put in a report of their own. In that case, there may be three reports since Mr. Young might well decline to take sides between fhe two principal parties to the con- ict. The experts began thinking about a departure from Paris just as soon as the drafting committee is appoint- ed. The Japanese who were the first to arrive and who are the far- thest from home, already were book- ing passage. ii. To Build Ten English Villages re.
