TWELVE PAGES OSHAWA'S FOUR BYLAWS ARE CARRIED Seven Dead in English Channel Aeroplane Cras Oshawa Ratepayers Voted To Carry All Four Bylaws By Big Majorities Saturday By-laws Providing for Purchase of Electric and Gas Sys- tems, for Securing of Power: From Hydro Electric Power Commission, and for Establishing of Public Util- ities Commission, Carried by Majorities Averaging Close to Ten to One By-law Authorizing the City Council to Expend Not More Than $30,000 for the Acquiting of Land for Industrial Sites Carried by Five to e Vote--All By-laws Had Overwhelming Majorities in Every Sub-Division in the City--Vote Was Very Ligh t, Less Than 1,200 of the Ratepayers and Electors" Casting Their Ballots The ratepayers of Oshawa have demonstrated their faith in their city. On Saturday, by overwhelming majorities, they carried four bylaws, three of them involving the purchase of the hydro and gas ssytems, to be administered by a public utilities commission elected to control all the municipal utilities, and with the power supply to be purchased from the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, and the fourth giving the city council to purchase land for industrial purpose, the expenditure not to exceed $30,000, THE MAJORITIES The majorities given to all four bylaws were so large as to leave no shadow of a doubt as to the minds of the people regarding them. The first bylaw, providing for the purchase of the hydro distribution system and the gas plant and distribution system at a cost of $520,000, was carried by a majority of exactly 1010 votes to 104 or approximately ten to one. Majority, 906 votes. The second bylaw, providing for the purchase of power from the Hy- dro-Electric Power Commission' of Ontario, was carried by 991 votes to 91, over ten to one. Majority, 897 votes. The third bylaw, providing for the purchase of lands for industrial purposes, was carried by 877 votes to 185, or almost five to one. 692 votes. Majority The fourth bylaw, on which electors as well as ratepayers were. entitled to vote, was carried by 1041 votes to 154, or about nine to one. Noted Novelist 887 votes. Vote Was Light The vote was very light consider- ing the important nature of the pro- posals placed before the ratepayers for decision. On the fourth.bylaw, on which electors and ratepayers a- like had the right to vote, only 1178 valid ballots were cast. It may be, of course, that the electors were not fully aware of the right to vote on this question, for the highest vote on the other three bylaws was 1,102, or only 68 less than on the fourth by- law, so that, apparently, only 68 elec- tors, or approximately that number, took the trouble to vote. The heaviest voting was dome in the north-east ward of the city, where 185 valid ballots were cast at the Mary street school, and 156 at the polling station at 98 Alice street. In most of the polling sub-divisions, less than one hundred people went to the polls. Majorities Everywhere A study of the result, however, shows that the opinion was the same in every subdivision. In no case was any of the four bylaws in any dan- ger of being defeated, every section of the city rallying to their support. When the return began to come in soon after the polls closed, it was (Continued on Page 9) Refuses Request London.--The Daly Sketch said today Prime Minister MacDonald had refused Leon Trotzky, former.

Dominion of Can- ada, he said.
