THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1929 bing; ibicHEes TRAFFIC PROBLEM 1S DISCUSSED BY TOWN COUNCIL NECESSITY OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT INTER- SECTION DEBATED Several Other Matters Con- sidered at Busy Session of Council (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 7.--The matter of di- recting traffic at the intersection of Brock and Dundas streets during the summer months when the highways are heavily travelled was left to the discretion of Mayor Dudley, and Chief of Police Gunson when the question was broached for discussion at the regular meeting of the town council last night. Chief Gunson sug- ested that traffic signals be instal. ed at this point but the council felt that the expendiure could no be just- ified his year in consideration of the high tax rate. The session was crow- ded with business and in spite of the fact that the Whitby Minstrels were rehearsing with gusto in the hall above the council chambers, the civic fathers conducted themselves with all due gravity and were not in- trigued by the rousing choruses and merry orchestral selections which came floating down, Thoroughly Discussed The traffic signal problem was thoroughly discussed at the hands of the council. All admitted that the in- tersection was busy and dangerous especially during the warm weather when more cars use the roads. Coun- cillor R. Deverell pointed out that on busy Sunday nights it was almost im- possible for traffic from the north to turn at the corner on gccount of the large stream of cars approaching from the east and west. The cost of "a "stop-and-go" system was considered peyond the reach of the council, how- ever, and it was finally decided to leave the matter in the discretion of the chief of police. On busy nights he may have an officer direct traffic pt the corner with a hand signal. Deputation on Park A deputation from the Whitby Girls' Softball Club including Vern on Rowe, secretary; E. everell, goach; and J. O'Connor, manager; waited upon the council and request- ed that repairs should be made to the softball diamond, that a new wire screen should be placed behind the home plate and that the club be gi- ven permission to erect a score board, Mr. Rowe, who acted as spokesman, also pointed out that there was nee more seating accommodation in the bleachers. Council referred the matter to the town property commit~ tee. "The park shows evidence of wan- ton destruction," stated Councillor J, H. Ormiston, chairman of the prop- erty committee. "The bleachers have No More Piles Pile sufferers can only get quick, safe and lasting relief by removing the cause---bad blood circulation in the lower bowel. Cutting and salves can't do this--an internal remedy must be used. Dr, Leonhardt's Hem-Roid, a harmless tablet, suc- ceeds because it relieves this blood congestion and strengthens the af- fected parts. Hem-Roid has a won- derful record for quick, safe and lasting. relief to Pile sufferers. It will do the same for you or money back.

Mr. Ormiston pointed out that the destruction occurred sometime last fall, possibly on Hallowe'en night, He pronused that his committee woul do all it could to get the park in od shape for hI coming asason. eeve 'Kenny t ath- letic life of the Bosse Hr not be starved and favored action on the part of the committee. k For Tag Day The deputation also requested that it be allowed to hold. a tag say in conjunction with the Whit oot- ball Club and the Lawn Bowling and Tennis Club. The date of Saturday, May, 15th, was suggested, "That hardly seems fair," commen- ted Deputy Reeve C Bowman, "the council has already granted the Salvation Army a tag day on Sat- urday, May 25th, just one week la- ter. Why not hold this tag day at a later date. I think you could raise more money after the games had started." Councillor Wm. Pringle and Reeve Kenny were agreeable to the tag day but 'thought that the athletic clubs should hold their event after the Sal- vation Army. ¥ The delegation could see no rea- son why its tag day should come af- ter the Army's. : Councillor Davidson was of a like mind and moved that the request be granted, Councillor Deverell seconded the motion, : The council was in an unhappy sit- uation, To many members it did not seem good form to grant the request ahead of the Army's. All, however, favored the projects of the three athletic clubs, Mayor Dudley called for a vote, Councillors Davidson and Deverell voted "yea." No other members of the council voted. Deputy Reeve Bowman again remonstrated but His Worship declared the motion car- ried. Seek Tax Remission Mr. A. G. Browning, K.C,, appeared on behalf of the Whitby Lawn Bowl- ing and Tennis Club and requested that it might secure a remission of tax for 1929. He pointed out that the club was solely' a community pro- ject and was a great asset to the com- munity." The matter was referred to the finance committee. Mr. Herb Webster and Mr, George Anderson also addressed the council on behalf of the club and requested the use of an old frame building in the town park as a temporary club house, This question will be taken up by the town property committee, . Those present at last nights meet- ing included Mayor L. W. Dudley, Reeve J. M, Kenny, Deputy Reeve, C..E, Bowman, Councillor Wm. Prin- gle, Councillor C. Broughton, Council- lor J. H. Ormiston, Councillor R. De- verell and Councillor Wm. Davidson, ASK DEPARTHENT 10 REPAIR HARBOR Action Is Necessary to Save Breakwater and Prevent Damage (By Staff Reporflr) 'Whitby, May 7--The Department of Public Works at Ottawa will be requested to repair the portion of thé harbour breakwater not included in the estimates this year according to a motion passed by the town council last night. The motion also points out that unless action is taken to save the breakwater serious dam- age may be done to the government docks and to private property situa- ted at the lakefront, In introducing the motion Council- lor J. H. Ormiston pointed out that with increased shipping on Lake Ontario it would be folly to allow the local harbour to fall into a state of disrepair. He referred to the fact that a portion of the breakwater is now under repair and that in view of this the remaining section might for all the family Cuticura Soap Mother's Favorite CLEANSES and purifies the skin and when [72 KE SEL RY tas n reyents little skin Bp Lele skin Soap 23¢c.

REQUEST FOR NO PARKING AREA WISHED SPACE TO BE USED FOR BUS STATION Council Decides It Would Be a Hardship to Local Merchants (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 7.--A request from the Toronto Transportation Com- mission, operating the Gray Coach Lines, to have sixty feet on Dundas street in front of the company's bus station designated as a non- parking area was refused by the town council last night on tne ground that it would be a hardship to merchants in the district. The council was interviewed by two of- ficers of the T.T.C., who pointed out that it was the desire of the company to give the best possible service between Whitby and Toron- to, They thought that improved transportation facilities would mean that many who lived and worked in Toronto might choose to live in Whitby as they could reach the city easily by bus. Further they con- sidered that the fact that the bus station was centrally located woud mean that large numbers of shop- pers would be drawn to the main business district. Strong Opposition Strong opposition to the request was voiced by Mr. Arthur Stanlick, proprietor' of the Highway Cafe, which adjoins Patterson's. store where the bus station is now situs ated. Mr. Stanlick stated that the proposed no-parking measure would affect his buginess and the busi- ness of other stores in the district ag cars would be unable to park in front of them. Several of the stores, he claimed, relied in a large degree upon the tourist trade. Councillor Ormiston thought that 'congestion would be inevitable if the request were to be granted. He believed that it might work a haru- ship for several of the merchants. ; Interests Clash All members of the council wits the exception of Councillor Brough ton voiced an opinion in the matter and 'several suggested that the bus company should seek a location on a less busy street. They consider- ed it unfortunate that the interests of the bus company and the mer chants should clash but were agre- ed that the merchants as taxpayers had the prior claim. The T.T.C. officers thanked the council for the courteous manner in which it had dealt with the ques- tion and gave assurance that they did not want to jeopardize the in- terests of the merchants. Mayor Dudley expressed conviction that the council would attempt to deal fairly with the coach line in any matter. ------------------ CLOSING SACRED BAND CONCERT SUNDAY NIGHT Town Hall Auditorium Crowded, and Excellent Program Given (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 7,--The largest at- tendance of the year was present at the fourth and concluding sac- red concert of the Whitby Citizens' Band, held in the town hall last Sunday night.

The large auditorium was filled and the audi- the w- forts of the band and the assisting artists, Councillor J. H. Ormiston made a very capable chairman for the . casion and in a brief but inter- 'ing address he complimented the . :nd upon the large audience which it had drawn. He declared that Whitby had reason to be proud of the band and was convinced that its value should not be minimized because it was a local institution, cradled in a small town. the best and finest things had ori- ginated in small communities and many great men had come from the small towns.

WHITBY TAX RATE CONFIRMED BY BY-LAW (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 7--The tax rate of 45 mills, struck by the town council in special session last Wednesday night, was confirmed by bylaw at the regular meeting last night, The by- law received its third reading with- out any discussion. _ Accounts totalling $1572.04 were introduced by Councillor Wm. Pringle, chairman of the finance committee, The accounts were char- ged as follows: finance oa streets, $500.76; fire and light, $11.45; town property, $3840; relief $12.02; accounts paid and not passed, $983.92, WOULD WIDEN ING AND SINGOE STS (Continued from Page 3) street to Park road, were passea by the council without dissent. 'ine cost is apportioned 50 per cent on property owners near the portion to be opened, and 50 per cent against the city at large, Over a year's debate on the Ross road bridge was brought to a close last night when the council gave final authorization to the mayor and clerk to sign an agreement with the County of Ontario and the township of East Whitby appor- tioning the cost of the bridge. Osh~ awa's share was about $5,000. To Frame Bylaw J. A. M¢Gibbon sent the council a copy of the verdict arrived at by the coroner's jury inquiring into the death of Mrs. Arthur Bouckley, who wag asphyxiated. The matter was referred to the city property committee, which will co-operate with the Board of Health in fram- ing a bylaw for introduction into the council on making vents come pulsory on gas stoves. Hon. W. H. Price, attorney-gen- eral for Ontario, notified the coun- cil that a juvenile court would probably be established in the city within about two weeks. His de- partment was considering the re- commendations made by the coun. cil as to the personel of the officials and the place of holding the court, he stated. Applications for street lights on Drew street, Stacey: avenue, Mil] street and Cubert street were re- ferred to the city property commit- tee. Petitions for various local im. provements were referred to the Board of Works. Paul Schwarz, 42 Simcoe street north, applied for permission to erect a nonilluminated sign in front of his store. Since city bylaws do not permit of non-illuminated signs being erected without special con- sideration of the city council, the weneral purpose committee was asked to consider it. C. (i. LUKE IS NAMED CITY. ASSESSOR BY A CLE VOTE (Continued from Page 3) needed as assessors, both taking the oath of office, Alderman Hart de- clared that the principle of dual con- trol would not .work: satisfactorily. r. Luke had worked eight years on the department, and was highly rec- ommended by the Court of Revision. "I am confident that Mr, Luke, with the assistance of two field men, can handle the job, Be sid, Although Mr. Luke might event- ually be appointed chief assessor at- ter applications had been received, in fairness to the city an advertisement should be published for an assessor, said Alderman Boddy. An assessor must be appointed im- mediately, said Alderman Mason. Al- derman Hart declared that, if only an assistant assessor was going to be engaged, the advertisement should read assistant assessor, Jot a8sEeSSOr, Mr, Luke's work had given satis- faction and he was entitled to first consideration, said Alderman Preston, who declared that the practice of importing outside officials would im- pair the efficiency of all. city depart- ments. Alderman Carnell declared that 'if, after eight years of experi- ence, Mr. Luke was not worthy of the position of assessor, he was not worthy to be kept on the department at all as an assistant, His appointment should not be delayed, Promotion of present employees in a situation of this kind was the cor- rect procedure, and made for stabili- ty, said Alderman McLeese. Amendment Carries The yeas and nays being called on the amendment it carried on the fol- lowing division: Yeas, Alderman Morris, Hart, McLeese, Perry, Dis- ney, S. Jackson, Carnell and Preston, Nays, Aldermen P. A, Macdonald, E. Jackson, R. McDonald, Harman, Bod- dy, Douglas, and Mason, The matter wasn't closed yet, how- ever, for when the by-law was intro- duced to make the appointment legal, Aldermen Macdonald and Boddy mo- ved to amend the by-law, making it read that Mr. Luke be appointed "an assessor" for the city. Aldermen Car- nell and Perry protested that this move was unfair, as the decision had already been made by the whole coungil on the committees report, and that Alderman Macdonald was now trying to carry his motion by a vote of a minority, as two or three alder- men who had favored the question had left the council chamber. A mo- tion of aldermen Morris and Carn. ell that the by-law be laid on the table until the next meeting, was car- ried by a vote of 7 to 6, Aldermen Morris, Carnell, S. Jackson, Perry, McLeese, Douglas and Disney sup- porting the motion and Alderman P, A. Macdonald, E. Jackson, R. McDo- nald, Harman, Boddy and Mason op- posing it. The council also appointed J. D. Rutherford as a temporary assist- ant in the assessment depariment, to assist Mr. Luke until a perman- ent staff of men for the depart- ment has been engaged. G. E.

WH. PRICE ORDERS INQUEST (Continued from Page 3) from drowning when the bridge at Harmony Creek was washed out several weeks ago. "The girl's body has been found, and it has been thought wise to hold an inquest and se- cure all the details, "Col. Price stated, "Her family have asked that this be done." This afternoon neither Coroner Rundle nor Crown Attorney Mec- Gibbon had been notified of the de- cision of the attorney-general, Crown Attorney McGibbon re- ceived his first intimation of the or- der from The Times, as no instruc- tions had come through from the attorney-general's department on the matter. Until these official instruc- tions are received, no date can be set for the inquest. 1 Dr. Rundle also stated that he had heard nothing of the attorney- general's order until he had been in- formed of it by The Times. $20,000 LOSS IN TRICK MILL FIRE (Continued from Page 1) which belched up through a caved-in EALED tenders addressed to the under. signed and endorsed "Tender for Public Building, Toronto, Ontario," will be received at this office until 12 o'c noon (dayligh saving), Thuraday, July 4, 1929, for the con- struction of a Public Building at the corner of Yonge and Front Streets, Toronto, Ont.

Contents of the mill destroyed included high-class mouldings and interior trim as well as many newly-made window sashes and wall mouldings. The interior walls in the cast end of the mill were eaten away by the flames which got a firm hold upon the floor be- fore winbing 4 the partitions to the roof. The building is a one-storey affair. The conflagration was one of the most spectacular since the fire at the old Bradley's Rink which destroyed a large part of the block upon which it stood. Hundreds of spectators were attracted to the scene and re- mained while the firemen battled through long hours with flames that threatened a whole block. There is every possibility that the lumber piles in the yards outside the building would have gone up in smoke had the flames been allowed to get to the exterior of the building in any degree. Reflection Visible. The reflection of the fire was plainly visible in the sky for some distance and cast a dull red glow on the smoke which belched upward through the vent in the roof of the mill.

Three lines of hose were kept in readiness.
