"Until the directors can meet some- time within the next three weeks, there will be no change in the man- agement or operations of the Fok- ker Aircraft Corp., according to An- thony H. G.

"Construction of the plant project- ed on the Pacific Coast is being de- layed until any changes in. policy resulting from the acquisition of a large portion of Fokker stock by General Motors can be definitely de- termined. It seems improbable that there will be any change in officers other than the addition of one or two General Motors executives in order that the corporation may be represented.

BREACH John Blackwood Found Guilty of Being Intoxicat- ed--Third Offence Six months in jail was the sen- tence meted out to John Blackwood of this city by Magistrate Hind after Blackwood had been found guilty of a charge of intoxication. It was his third offence against the Liquor Con- trol Act, and the penalty imposed was the maximum for such an of- fence. Blackwood was represented by J. P. Mangan as counsel who endeav- ored to point out to His Worship that Blackwood suffered from a head injury during the war which placed him in a bad condition when he partook of liquor. Three constables and a physician gave evidence to the effect that Blackwood was found in a local cafe in an intoxicated con- dition but that he had been given a chance to go home. He was later apprehended on Simcoe street how- ever and taken to the police station in an intoxicated condition. Magistrate Hind stated that he had no sympathy for the prisoner and in imposing the maximum penalty hoped it would be "a lesson to him and a deterrent to others."

Increase of traffic on the Provin- cial highway and Kingston Road has necessitated increases in the force and more equipment. The township rates for 1929 were considered, and these will be struck at the next meet- ing. Claiming that the Trees estate was over assessed, H. P. Eckardt, who re- cently purchased the property for $150,000, succeeded in persuading the Council to grant a reduction on 28 acres described as ravine. The ap- pellant declared that he bought the estate to prevent the most beautiful part of Scarboro' becoming a "shack town," adding that many had never realized the value of Scarboro's scen- ic beauty, which as a 30 years' resi- dent he had some pride in preserv- ing.

"There is a . general feeling among the farmers that they have not received fair treatment, and this will do the community no good," Judge Thompson cnmment- ed, in recommending that the town and the farmers attempt to arrive at a compromise, if only for one year, in order to avoid the confu- sion and hard feeling engendered by the present situation. G. D. Conant, of Oshawa, who with Town Solicitor A. E. Chris- tian, represented the municipality, pointed out that he could not take the responsibility of arranging = meeting for the council with the farmers. He stated that there were but two members of the council present, Councillors J. H. Ormiston and Charles Broughton, "The mayor and council should have been here," answered His Honor.

F. M. H. Irwin, who represented the appellants, pointed out that the only offer that had ever been made to the farmers was a straight 10- mill exemption, Nothing had been done by the council to rescind this offer, and the judge had the same power to act as had the council, RR PERRIN ee hd said. He also contended that the special enactment of the Pro- vihcial Legislature in 1903 for the taxation of local farm land was still in operation. Mr. Conant said that he did not wish to waste time in arguing the points outlined by the opposing counsel.
