The council also deferrea action on the proposal to install an incinerator for the disposal of gar- bage, and asked the city engineer to prepare an estimate of the cost of widening the pavement on King street and Simcoe street in the business area. . The proposition to extend Osh- awa's water system into the town- ship has been under discussion for some time, and last night the coun- cil accepted a report of the Boara of Works that action on it be again deferred for the present. The town- ship has requested that mains be extended to serve Westmount and North Oshawa, where many wells are reported polluted, offering to pay the full cost of installation and an extra rate on the water, but the city couneil hag mot yet seen its way clear to put the added bur- den on the city pumping station. Incinerator Deferred Further consideration will be given to the incinerator proposal, said Alderman Preston in report ing for the Board of Works that action in the matter be deferred at the present time. Alderman Boddy declared that it should not be shel- ved, as the conditions at the dump, with people pawing over the gar- bage and lugging away all kinds of articles was a disgrace. Alder- man Preston said that he was up- posed to building the incinerator this year, many other cities bigzper than Oshawa were still depositing their garbage in dumps, he 3 2% to supply the council with informa- tion on the cost of the proposed widening of the pavements on King street, from Nassau to Prospect streets, and on Simcoe street fruwn John to William streets. The pro- posed widening would do away with the boulevards at present existing on both sides of these streets. The engineer was also requested (Continued on page 65) PAVING PROPOSAL IS DEFERRED BY THE ITY COUNCIL Alderman Claims Lauder Road Paving of Value to City Official A contention that the' pavement of a road to the new Oshawa Rafi way car barns via Lauder road was by an indirect route that would be of material value to one 01 ne city officials, was advanced in wne city council meeting last night, by Alderman 8. G. Carnell. The Canadian National Rallways, on behalf of its subsidiary, the Oshawa Railway Company, had for. warded a letter to the council ask- ing that a pavement be constructed to their new car barms at the junc- tion of Hillcroft street and the Osh- awa Railway spur line, suggesting that it be constructed by extending the pavement on Lauder road east to Jarvis street, thence north on Jarvis street and east on Hillcroft street to the.car barns. : This route 'was not the most di- rect one, and it would directly bene- fit a certain city official whose pro- perty lay on" Lauder road, declared the alderman. It was a matter, he paid, that had brought last year's council into "hot water" and tna should be debated by the council as a whole, and moved that it be not referred to the board of works, but to the next meeting of the council sitting in committee of the whole. This was seconded by Al- derman Mason. On it being point- ed out to the alderman that tun discussion could be made on any port which the board of wor brought in on the matter, the mo- tion was withdrawn and the appli- cation sent through the customusy channel, to the Board of Works, A few old corks soaked in paraffin will make a new fire burn brightly.

WEED INSPECTORS TO MEET Arrangements have been made for a Conference of Ontario County Weed Inspectors to be held at the Department of Agriculture office, Uxbridge, on Monday, May 27th at 10 o'clock.

The engineer also reported on certain alterations which the fire chief desired to have made to the building, which would cost approximately $1,000. = These reports were referred to the city property committee. The report on the tower read: "On May 12, I examined the tower on the fire hall building at Richmond and Simcoe streets, and found that the timbers had decayed to a considerabe extent, particular- ly on the east side of the tower, with the result that the tower 1s unszfe and should be wholly or par- tially removed, or repaired imme- diately by the replacement of the timbers affected. "The upper portion of the tower including the clock and bell consti- tutes a real and serious hazard, and this whole upper part of. the tow- er should be removed at once and rebuilt if it is the intention to main tain the clock and bell in its pres ent position, The lower part of the tower requires considerable replac- ing in the timbers, particularly on the east side, but I presume this part of the tower is required for the use of the fire department in drying hose. With the removal of the upper portion the immediate stability of the whole tower would be considerably improved." - The engineer = also reported on the request of fire chief Elliott that two posts in the fire hall, which were in the way of the fire appara- tus, should be removed. If these were removed, the city engineer re- ported, it would be necessary to string hi] gr Jiree steel beams across the hall, re g on new posts which would have to. rest i new concrete piers placed in the cellar.

Have Not Agreed As To Interpreta- tion of Some Points A review: of the subway award before a sitting of the full Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada, will be asked by the city council, it was decided by the council at its regular meeting last night. A. W. Green, K.C., of Ot- tawa will pain act for the city. Severn' details of the award have heen under discussion be- tween the city and officials of the Canadian National Railways since the judgment was handed down by Dr. 8. J. McLean, assistant chief commissioner of the Raliwuy board, last year. Chief of these ftems was the closing of Albert street, which the Board ordered the city to do, making the subway award conditional upon this action. The apportionment of the cost of the additional width and depth of the subway required by the Osha- wa Railway company over and above the requirements of ordinary city traffic, and the apportion- ment of the cost of laying pave- ment through the subway, have also been bones of contention be- tween the city and officials of the company, no satisfactory agree- ment as fo an interpretation of the award having so far been reached on some of the points In the award handed down by the Board of Railway Commission- ers, the total cost of the subwu, was estimated at $250,000, includ- ing land damages. A contribu- tion from the Railway Grade Crossing fund up to 40 per cent of the cost and not exceeding $100,- 000, was granted. An allowance of $11,000 was then made for the increased widtheand depth asked by the railway. The balance was to be divided, 57 per cent. against the Canadian National Railways and 43 per cent, against the city, or about $86,000 against the rail- pways and $64,000 against the city. The paving of the subway was left entirely for the city of Oshawa to. provide.

KAISER SPEAKS IN HOUSE ON TARIFF LAW fr Ree ae oro Ate Claims There Is Little En- couragement For Indus- tries to Come Here Opposition was voiced in the House of Commons 'on Friday by Dr. T. E. Kaiser, M.P., for this riding, against amending the tariff laws' to allow trough belt conveyors for the use of belt manufacturers, when 'of a class or kind not made in Canada," to enter this country free of duty. This practice, he said, was most dangerous if allowed to continue. The amendment was defeated. * Dr. Kaiser's address on the amendment was: I am very much surprised that any member of this house should come once more seek to introduce into the tariff of Canada the most dangerous phrase ever invented. The clause says that articles shall come into Canada free which are "of a class and kind not manu- factured in Canada." I have been endeavouring to certain from the Department of Finance who it wag that invented this clause; I have been trying to ascertain when it was first introduced into a budget. It is an amazing thing to find this clause no less than nine times in the present budget. I object to the clause because it is a dangerous one. The province of Ontario has recently passed a bill permitting municipalities in that province Mr. Morrissey: What about the other provinces in Canadh? Oshawa's Position Mr. Kaiser: The province of Ontario does not pass laws for any other province. Thig bill will permit municipalities to {issue debentures to defray the cost of laying out sections of their cities or towns for industrial purposes. The city, of Oshawa, where I come from, is a highly industralized community and we are asking au- thority to lay out a portion of the city for industrial purposes. What form of industry can we induce to come to the province of Ontario? Naturally we look into our im- ports to see just what articles are consumed in Canada, but when we look: at the budget we find that articles which are not made in Canada are permitted to come In free, What encouragement is that for the industrial development of our province? The clause appears nine times in the presemt budget and I look upon. it as a blight. cannot imagine anything more injurious to the future of Canada than the continual {injection . of that clause into the .industrial budgets of Canada, a clause which says that @ything which is not made in Canada shall be allowed to come in free. The people of Canada want to manufacture as much as possible in Canada and not have it continually said. that when an article is not made here it may .come in free. Manufacture in Canada.

In all, the board has expended $5,237.99, with additional - outstanding ac- counts amounting to $300. The de- tails of the expenditures are as follows: A Books $2,636.77; magazines, $193.20; salaries of staff, $1, 318.32; janitor, $205.00; light, heat and water, $409.12; building and furniture, $86.05; binding and supplies, $303.06; incidentals, $91.47; total, $5,237.99.

O. storm sewer to relieve the situa- tion in the business section of the city, was decided upon by the city council" last night. The sewer, which was recommended in a re- cent report of city engineer W. C. Smith, will in itself cost about $37,000, besides the cost of branch sewers that will be constructed off the main one. The specific sewers that will be constructed, as recommended by the Board of Works, are as fol- lows: Commencing at the delivery point in the Oshawa Creek at John street; thence easterly on John street a distance of 200 feet; thence north-easterly behind Centre school to the end of Metcalf street; thence easterly on Metcalf street to Sim- coe; thence north on Simcoe street to Bruce street; thence eatserly wn Bruce street to Celina street; thence north on Celina street to to Bruce street;.thence 'easterly on King street to Ontario street and Albert streét. Since most of this sewer is on streets where sewers have previous- ly been constructed on the local improvement plan, the debentures for them not having been as yet fully retired, a mandatory order from the Provincial Department of Health for the construction of tae sewer will be necessary, the Board of Works reported, and the couneil decided to urgently request the de- partment to grant the ry Police Building On Present Market Site at' "Prince and Richmond Sts. # Council Temporatily Aban dons Project for Combin ation Fire and Police on Metcalf and Bagol Streets FIRE DEPT.

Alderman Hart reminded the council that reports had last night been received from the city engin. eer that a considerable amount of _ money would have to be spent af once on repairing the present fire hall building, and he said that the matter should be looked at in » large way, not only providing new quarters for the police department but making the fire department quarters adequate so that they toa could carry on for ten or fifteen years. The problem of how the police department, on the west end of the Richmond street city proper ty, could use the same court room they were using now was another one that had, to be considered, as was the question of heating the building.

The story of the weaver of Raveloe, with its in- tensely human sentiment and pathos was admirably told by Mr. Duxbury, whose vivid portrayal held the audience in the grip of the romance which he unfolded sa cleverly. The whole story of how Silas Marner, who had grown into a miser, was brought back to the light through the influence of = little child was presented so beau- tifully that words fail to describe the masterly portrayal of such a noble work. The touches of humour here and there, the char- acter representation, and above all, the great unalterable moral of the whole story that sooner or later, sin will always come to the light, made a deep impression the audience.
