UE HAS GOOD START Front Street Defeated High School Team by 7 to 6 (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, June 14.--Front sireet team started the season off right in the softball league when they defeated the High School team the other night, 7-6, on the high school grounds. The game, as the score indicates, was close throughout with the play fast and even. The High School started out running in their six runs in the first three frames, while the Front Street crew tallied four In the sec- ond and one each in the third, 5th and eighth. For three innings the score was a tie and the game look- ed like anybody's. James, Culley and Carruthers for Front SL, counted two runs each, while:Mec- Williams tallied the other one. The High School boys, however, divid- ed the honors with six of them get- ting one each. Both teams started out with some loose fielding, but tightened down near the last, which Awnings, Tents, Etc.

PLAYED IN TOWN (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, June 14.--The Arlie Marks players opened their three night's entertainment in Bowmanville last night at the Op- era House with the well known play "The Patsy." The players were greeted with a large house of en- thusiastic people, who greatly ap- preciated the fine program present- ed by these people. The spectators were greatly amused by the vaude- ville put on between acts by the players. It helped to round out the evening's entertainmen con- siderably. IMPROVING STEEPLLY (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, June 14.--Ior the last few days workmen have been busy on what is left of St. Paul's steeple, giving the top a clean ap- pearance, These men have been bricking up the space between the four spires, that are on each cor- ner. When the work will have been completed it will look like a tur- ret. This effect is giving the ex- steeple a smart frontage. So far no work has commenced on tne fixing up of St. John's steeple, but this will be done in a few days. REMOVE SIREN TO KING AND SIMCOE A crew of busy firemen at the cor- ner of King - and Simcoe streets about cleven o'clock this morning brought forth many questions as to reasons why they were there. From information . elecited from Chief Elliott it was learned that the fire siren which has always been situated at the top of the tower on the Fire Hall will be removed to the main corner of the city. It is hoped that this location will prove better than the present one because of the fact that motorists on King street some- times find it difficult to hear the siren due to the height of the build- ing. When the siren is turned on at the fire station henceforth it will be heard as loudly on King street as Simcoe street thus making traffic conditions safer while the fire trucks are enroute to the scene of the alarm, ENTRANGE PUPILS WHO ARE PROMOTED ON YEAR'S WORK List Is Published For The Schools of the City of Oshawa Entrance Pupils promoted on term's work without final examin- ation.

JIMMIE PERKINS T0 BROADGAST AGAIN Popular Colored Band Will Give Another Concert Over CKGW So popular did Jimmie Perkins and his New Yorkers prove with the radio audience and the manakement of the radio station CKGW at Tor- onto when they broddcasted a variety program recently from that station that the management has negotiated successfully for a second broadcast to be made from eight to nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, June .26, Jimmie Perkins and his band have been providing the dance music at Lakeview Park throughout the dancing season and will continue to remain there indefinitely. The first broadcast was arranged through the Chamber of Commerce of the city BYLAWS ENDORSED UNANIMOUSLY (Continued from Page ) In that city a Public Utilities' Com- mission controlled the waterworas, electric and gas plants, as it was proposed to do in Oshawa. The surplus on the electric plant last year was $28,000, with rates lower than any other city in the Central Ontario System. The surpluses at the present time were being used for rebuild- ing the system, which was pur- chased in 1915. He declared that all of the rebuilding work was met out of the reserves built up by the electric revenues, not one cent of it coming from the taxes. Economies of Operation The purchase of the electric and gas plant made for the upbuild- ing of the .city, he said. There were also many economies that could be effected by combining the three utilities under one head. There had never been a deficit in any of the years the plants had been operated under municipal ownership, he sald. Mr. Dobbin, manager of the three Peterboro utilities for the Public Utilities' Commission, said that the operation of the three util- ities under one management meant many economies. One bill was sent for the whole three services, and a system was being instituted whereby all meters were read by one man. It also effected econom- ies in a reduction in staff and in being able to use employees for any of the three utilities where they were needed. Dealings with the Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission had always been most pleasant, he said. They were always glad to give advice and had saved the commission much money in this way. The set- ting of rates by the Hydro Com- mission, working upon the advice of the local commission, was a real advantage, he declared. This pre- vented criticism from the custom- ers, because the setting of rates by a disinterested commission pre- vented any suspicion of local bias for or against any individual con- sumer. Peterborough Gas Plant The gas plant in Peterborough was bought for $325,000, in Janu- ary this year, and already revenues had increased. Many manufactur- ers had to use it and householders also found it a necessity. The rate was the same as Oshawa up to last year, but a reduction of 10 cents on the rate was to be put into ef- fect this year, he said. Peterborough gas plant, costing $325,000, had an annual revenue of $90,000. Oshawa's plant, cost- ing about $210,000, earned about 72,000 per year, a favorable com- parison, sald G. F.

Shackleton Phone 2989) H.E.P.C., in answer to a question. Resolutions Presented Leon Frazer, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, referred to the fact that the resolutions passed by the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors absolutely sup- ported the by-laws, and presented them for the general meeting for consideration. The two hydro plants, worth $520,000, earned a $118,000 sur- plus in 1928, showing that it was a good business proposition. This surplus meant that rates were too high. Oshawa rates were 60 to 90 per cent higher than Peterbor- ough, and yet rates could not be reduced here unless the systems were purchased, according to a pro. nouncement of the commission, he said. Purchase of the plants would mean an immediate reduction in rates, he declared. At the present time, the Oshawa system was managed from a To- ronto head office. Having the local system under control of an Oshawa commission meant that local cus- tomers would no doubt receive more interested treatment, Mr. Frazer continued. Obtain An Equity By purchasing the local plant the city would also obtain an equity in the generating plants of the Central Ontario System. At the present time Oshawa has no equity in these plants, as the com- mission was not dealing with the city as a corporation, but as in- dividual consumers. The gas plant was also & good buy, he declared. Gas was a neces- sity, and the only way to ensure that it would continue to be avau- able was for Oshawa to purchase its plant. Carried Unanimously Mr. Frazer then read the resolu- tion of the directors of the Cham- ber of Commerce regarding the hy- dro plant purchase, which was car- ried unanimously by the members of the Chamber of Commerce. Industrial Area The Industrial Area by-law was next discussed. It provided that the city could aid prospective in- dustries by buying and .controlling industrial areas and selling them to manufacturers at a fair price, which had to be approved by a county judge, said Mr. Frazer, It would cost considerable to lay water mains, sewers, power lines and other facilities to the present city properties, while oth- er areas could be purchased at a fair price by expropriation or other- wise, carried them for a short time and sold to the manufacturer, at a price that the law required to cov- er' the purchase price and the cost of carrying the land by the city. Industrial Foundation Ltd. The Oshawa Industrial Founda- tion, Ltd., gave the final aid to manufacturers desirous of locating in Oshawa by erecting builldings for them. Already public spirited citizens had subscribed $53,300, well over half of the required amount to establish this company, he said. 'The resolution approving of the Industrial Area by-law was also carried unanimously by the mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce. Vote of Thanks F, L. Mason moved a vote of thanks to the Peterboro speakers. He also expressed the thanks of the Central Ontario Power Associ- ation to the members and officials of the Hydro Electric Power Com- mission for the information and assistance given on the subject of electric service in the Central On- tario System at the various pub- lic meetings. The Central Ontario Power Association recommended the purchase by Oshawa of its lo- cal plants, believing that it was in the best interests of the city, he declared. G. W. McLaughlin Mr. McLaughlin remarked that although some of the technicalities in the agreement with the Hydro Commission were not exactly as he would have had them, over 400 municipalities had entered into the agreement and had found it satis- factory. The closer he had studied the subject, the more he had be- lieved that it was in the best in- terests of the city. As against any minor criticisms that might be made, there were the facts that the city was dealing with the directors of the largest business enterprise in Canada, and that there was no doubt they would deal with the city in absolutely fair manner. It would be a step forward for the city, to carry all the by-laws, he said. R. T. Jeffrey, municipal en- gineer for the H.E.P.C,, outlined the question before the electors. Oshawa and most other muniei- palities in the Central Ontario Power System were not 'hydro municipalities," he said, and their local plants were being operated simply as part of the large system. Today the system was in a very satisfactory condition from every angle. The intention always has been for the municipalities to be over their local systems, buy power at cost, and sell it to their citizens at cost, he declared, and until they did that, they would not receive power at cost. Electric Plant The electric utility was operat. ing very successfully. The com- day morning. Committee Rooms In connection with the By-laws on which the Rate" payers vote on Saturday, have been established at 11 BOND STREET EAST Voters wishing cars to take them to the polls will be looked after by telephoning. Telephone 1020 Any citizens willing to volunteer their cars are urged to report at the committee rooms on Satur- mission estimated that, after pay- ing all charges, a $107,000 clear net surplus would be created in 1929, on present rates, he said. The figure might be even more than that. The Oshawa system was priced less than the compara- tive figure for Guelph, St. Cathar- ines and other cities. he declared. To Private Firm If Oshawa did not buy its gas plant the Commission would take under consideration selling it to private interests, he said. Gas rates were- as low as the commission could operate, but under municipal ownership a reduction might be possible, he said. Gas was a necessity, he said, and the revenue from the local plant should increase each year without a great deal of increased operat- ing cost. While additions to the plant might be needed from year to year, extra revenue from the extra sale of gas would no doubt cover any debenture charges. Every Citizen Should Vote Mayor Mitchell expressed the hope that every citizen would gd out and vote on the by-laws, to morrow. "I am perfectly satisfied that the majority of ratepayers support the by-laws; my only fea is that they will not take enough interest in the questions to registeq their vote," he said. He expressed his appreciation to Mr. Jeffrey and Mr. Drewry fof their services in presenting the facts relative to the by-laws, alsd to G. D. Conant, F. L. Mason and Leon Frazer, their services and times given' in connection with the matter, and to the Oshawa Dail Times for its services. Good Business "This proposition is good busi ness for the city," he declared. Lindsay, Whitby and Peterborough all were well satisfied with theiq bargains, and sent envoys here td try to convince the Oshawa elect. ors. He urged the electors to pass all the by-laws. "If vou wish to see Oshawa grow, come out and vote for the by-laws on Saturday," was his plea. of business generally. INFORMATION There is no more desired development in the various communities than that of in- dustrial development, giving increased opportunity for employment and an increase The cities in the province of Ontario, the greatest industrial area in the Dominion, are doing everything to induce the sound development of local industries and to establish new ones. Toronto and Hamilton particularly have established industrial areas with all facilit- ies for manufacturing at reasonable prices to attract manufacturers. Oshawa must be in a position to compete with other cities. The greatest drawback in industrial development in Oshawa has been a lack of suitable industrial areas with all facilities at reasonable prices and suitable buildings available for rent. By the passing of The Industrial Sites Act, sponsored by Oshawa, the city can now acquire by expropriation, or otherwise, suitable industrial sites at reasonable prices. Sites, however, can only be purchased, after the passing of this by-law and by a two-third's vote in favour, by the council, and the sites acquired can only be disposed of by sale or lease at a reasonable price to be approved by the County, Judge. Land areas at present owned by the city would require large civic expenditures to provide them with the facilities desired by manufacturers. When more suitable sites are not available these will be utilized. : Oshawa cannot afford to repeat the mistakes in the past in not acquiring sites ad- mirably, suited for industries. Inaction in securing suitable manufacturing sites as soon as possible will result eith- er in discouraging industrial development or the investment of greater amounts to acquire the sites some time in the future. | | The by-law enables the council to acquire and control suitable industrial sites, as may be required, at a cost not to exceed $30,000. Your vote in favour of the industrial sites by-law will assist very largely the pro- gram proposed for industrial development in Oshawa that will meet the requirements of manufacturers on a reasonable basis and will permit the City to compete for in- dustries on fairly equal terms. ~ Carry All By-Laws VOTE FOR A GREATER OSHAWA This is the Sixth of a daily series of advertisements INSERTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OSHAWA
