Improved THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1929 'PAGE THREE --_-- Council Accepts Otter of Land By G.D. Conant for Purpose Of Widening Simcoe St. South Strip of Land Fourteen Feet Wide from Wolfe Street to Near Bridge Over Creek Donated to the City, to be Used to Widen Roadway Leading to the Lake WILL CONFER WITH THE OTHER OWNERS Industrial Committee Is Au- thorized to Make Effort to Secure Favorable Terms for Other Property Es- sential to Complete the Project The offer of G. D. Conant to give the city a strip of land 14 feet wide on Simcoe street south from Wolfe street to the souther- ly limit of Mr. Conant's property near the bridge crossing the creek, was accepted by the city council last nizht. This strip will widen Simcoe street to a width of 80 feet. This offer was a repetition of one made by Mr, Conant last year, but which the 1928 council had shelved, leaving it to the 1929 council to accept. The aldermen were cnanimous last night in ac- cepting the offer, several aldermen lauding Mr. Conant for his public spirit in so freely deeding this land to the city to widen the streot. Property Involved Mr.Conant's offer provided for a strip on the east side of Simcoe street from Wolfe street to Ritson road, and gave the council the al- ternative of chosing whether they desired to have the 14-foot strip on the east or the west side from Ritson road to the bridge. It was pointed out that if the east side were chosen, strips of land 14 feet in width would have to be purchas- ed from two other property own- ers, Messrs, Sleep and Johnston, who we.» reported as not willing to sell this strip of land from in front of their holdings, while on the west side there was only one property owner, Mr. Mackie who was reported as willing to deal with the city on a fair basjs for « 14 foot strip of his land. To Confer With Owners A similar situation also existed south of the bridge. On the west side, was Lakeview Park, owned by the city, while on the east side the land was owned privately. it the 14-foot strip was taken on the west side to Ritson road and then on the west side to the lake, it would, however, create a jog In Simcoe ttreet at Ritson road, and the council decided to make an ef- fort to deal with the property own- ers on the east side of the street so hat the strip would be continu- ed on the east side from Wolfe street to the Lake. Committee Named 1t was suggested that unless the property owners came to favorable terms with the city, the land could be expropriated. The Industrial Committee, com- prising Alderman McLeese, Disney and S. H., Jackson, was instructed to interview the various property owners and endeavor to come to an agreement regarding the purcuass of a 14 foot strip of their proper- ties. The Resolution The resolution accepting Mr. Conant's offer, which was moved hy Alderman Disrey and seconded by Alderman Douglas, was: "That this council accept the of- fer of G. I. Conant to deed this city a 14-foot strip of land on the east side of Simcoe street south, extending southerly from Wolfe street to Ritson road, and that we accept the balance of the land pending a decision at the next council meeting as to which side of Simcoe street to widen.' ------------------ CHICAGO GRAIN EXCHANGE Chicago, lls, June 26.--Reports of bene. ficial rains in Canada drought sections 1 to early downturns in wheat value today.

The incident occurred yesterday morning at the shop of C. Glevort, Athol street, when a bicycle was taken from where it was standing in front of the shop. A note stat- ing that the wheel would be re- turned within ten minutes was slipped under the door of the shop where it was found by the proprie- tor. 'It has proved a long ten min- utes, however, and there has been no sign of the borrowed vehicle, In: Essex County in Ontario, the farmers are going back to corn rais- ing extensively, and plan to grow from 60,000 to 70,000 acres this year.

This | Stock Purchased King Street West Property, And Will Open Store Vickery Block Sold to Large Detroit Chain Store Concern for $82,000, and Company Will Make Extensive Alter- y Before Establishing Branch ations to the Propert Here--Leases of the Present Tenants of the Block Will Not Be Disturbed The Vickery block at 12 and 14 King street west has been sold to the Kresge Company, Ltd, for the sum of $82,000, it was announced today by E. L. Vickery, the owner. The Kresge company plans' extensive al- terations to the building, and will, upon the completion of the altera- tions, carry on a department store business. The property involved in this transaction includes the three-storey building at present occupied on the ground floor by Canning's, clothiers, and by Vickery and Ashton's barber shop, and on the upper floors by six others tenants, The property has a frontage of about 36 feet on King street and a depth of about 170 feet, Immediate Possession The Kresge company takes posses- sion of the building immediately, but the deal was consummated with the provision that all leases at present held by the various tenants would be honored. The lease of Cannings is understood to not expire for four years, while the firm of Vickery and Ashton has been given until the end of next year to vacate their premises, The other tenants are monthly ten- ants, but it is understood that none of them will be disturbed at the present time, Mr, Vickery stated The Kresge company plans to eventually tear down the entire build- ing, excepting the side walls, and ex- tend it back to occupy every avail- able foot of land that they have pur- chased. This will give the company a very large building, with over 5,000 square feet of floor space on each floor. This work will probably not be proceeded with until next year at least, Mr, Vickery stated. The Kresge company has its head- quarters in Detroit, Michigan, and has recently' opened up several branch stores in Otnario cities. It carries on a general departmental store business, specializing in the smaller articles of five, ten and fif- teen cent value, Seventh Day Adventists Have Large Industrial Plant at Their Colony East of Oshawa Passing along the Kingston high- way, about two and a half miles east of Oshawa, one may notice a water tank elevated in the air with the words "Watchman Press' painted on it. There is but little stir to be seen or heard In its neighborhood, yet just below the brow of the hill is a publishing plant whose initial cost was $150, 000.00. It is owned and operated by the Seventh Day Adventist De- nomination, This establishment, which is now doing an annual business twice its first cost, has grown without any brass band methods of advertising. Splendid Growth = The circulation of the Canadian Watchman was as low in 1926 as 4,000 per month, Its growth and popularity under the editorial lead. ership of W, C. Moffett and C. L. Paddock can best be judged by the fact that the orders for this pres ent month call for en edition of 15,000 copies, with a correspond- ing increase in its book and puri- odical productions, that is demand. ing: a work day of twenty-four hours' duration, This growth and volume of bus ness is not supported by local de- mand alone, for it is understood that their mail each day ranks among the largest reaching the city post office. Benefit to Community There is a Scriptural law that says "None of us liveth to him- self, and no man dieth to him< self," that has equal force in the business world. No concern oper- ating in a community doing busi- ness to any extent can possibly play "Levite and Pharisee"' and "pass by on the other side." It is self-evident that 'the Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick Maker' must come in for a share in sup- plying the groceries, foodstuffs, clothing, medical care, etc., that is necessary to keep up the personnel as well as the material and repairs to carry on with, Every real busi- ness must therefore be a distribu- tor to the common good of the neighborhood. Hence Oshawa wishes the Watch- man Press, with its kindred -insti- tutions, that go to build up the business life of this indusrial city, a continued prosperity.--(Contri- buted). .

Jackson, Counsels Caution Alderman Preston said that the council was hastening into the mat- ter rather rapidly right upon the heels of the vote of the people. All available sites should be viewed first, and perhaps land should not be pur- chased until a definite prospective in- dustry had outlined its requirements. The area of the 23% acres was close to t y farm, a jer sections of the city should be copsidered. The council, not any other organiza- tion or any civic employee should consider options and purchases, he declared, Satisfied With Sites Alderman L. V, Disney said 'that he had viewed all of the prospective sites, and was thoroughly convinced of the advantage of the Conant site, The whole council should view all the sites, however, he said. The Industrial commission was within his rights in securing options on various lands, because his ex- perience in dealing with applications from prospective industries had shown him what was the most suit- able site, he continued the council had to decide whether it would wait until industries came to it, or whether it would look into the future and map out a real industrial area, improve it with roads, railway sidings and other facilities for factories making it very attractive. There would still be an amount of money left to purchase property for individual manufacturers after the Conant property was pur. chased. The Conant site was the most easily served by sewers power and other facilities, he said. Wants Long Options Speaking for the factory workers Alderman D. Douglas said that there was a suspicion that something might be put over on the city, he said. It was a pity he said, but it was prob- ably largely due to the fact that the committee's report was brought in so soon after the vote was taken. Had these property owners given five-year options to the city to fur- ther industrial development, this feel- ing would be allayed. Further con- sideration should be given he said. He could not support the committee's report as presented last night, Alder- man Douglas declared. Alderman Perry said that the com- mitee had taken the right action in securing options on sites, Alderman Preston agreed with Al- derman Douglas that the council should go slowly.. If the area was established in Cedardale, most of the workmen would have to use street car and other transportation as it was remote from most of the homes of the city, Favors Small Sites Alderman Macdonald declared that he was opposed to establishing one industrial area. Several small sites throughout the city should be pur- chased. The Conant site was an ideal factory site, but at least one other area should be bought. Mr, Everson's offer had considerable merit, he said. Other Offers Higher Alderman McLeese said that the reason the committee's report was brought in so soon after the vote, was because the committee had been considering various sites for six weeks, Most of the other offers were at a much higher: figure than Mr. Conant's, he said.' Conant Site Ideal The Conant area was the most suitable in the city said Alderman E. Jackson. It would take a large amount of money to develop most of the other areas, he. declared. « The Conant site was the ideal one for factory ' purposes, said S, H. Jackson. If the council did not want to buy the whole 2314 acres at once, no doubt Mr. Conant would 'allow the city to purchase part of it now and the balance later. Would Inform Citizens The data regarding all the avail- able sites should be put before the people of the city, so that they would know that the site selected by the council was the best, said Alderman Douglas. Men who did not know the facts were inclined to have grave doubts regarding action taken by the council, he said. Time should be given for the council to consider it, and the figures regarding all the sites should be published. All the figures should be published agreed Alderman McLeese. When the city buys an area it should be developed, . and facilities Gleedys Oliver II.--Ileen Pereman, Blanche Hamilton, Arthut provided, said Aldgrman Preston. The Seeks Permission to Instal Two New Sets of Passing Tracks to Make Operation of Better Service Poasible WOULD CANCEL CARS TO MEET TRAINS Believe Special Cars to C.N. R. Station Would Be Un- necessary Should the Ten Minute Service Be Put Into Effect An application from the Oshawa Railway company for permimsshsu to install two additional passing tracks, so that a ten minute service could be given in the city, was re- ceived by the city council last umvt and referred to the city property, committee, The company, in its application, said that if this improved servive were to be put into operation, pass- ing tracks would be necessary in the vicinity of Louisa street and the Nonquon bridge, near the lake. It also asked permission to have the agreement with the city, that it meet all C.N.R, trains, cancelled, as it contended that the improvea service would eliminate the neces- sity of meeting these trains, and declared that the irregularity of this service made it impossible 10 put into effect a ten minute sched- ule. The question of service to the eastern and western sections of the city is also being taken up with the railway by the city property come mittee of the council, but no re- port on the negotiations has been' made as yet. ! The application of the railway which outlined the proposed ten minute service which was report- ed in The Times several months ago as being under consideration, was as follows: "The Oshawa Railway company desires to improve its passenger service in the city of Oshawa -and with the approval of the. council is prepared to institute a ten minute service between Ross' Corners and Cedardale, and a twenty minute service to the lake, "To enable the service to be op- erated, two additional passing tracks should be constructed on Simcoe street; one near Louisa St., and the other near the Nonquon bridge. It will also<be necessary to cancel the special car to meet the Canadian National Railways rains, as the irregularity of this service makes it impossible to op- erate the proposed ten minute schedule. The railway feels that the improved service will make it unnecessary to meet specific trains." L) Oshawa Foundation Limited had never expressed its opinion on .the suitability of any one of these sites for the unit building it proposed to erect, he said. : Favors Definite Policy Mayor Mitchell declared that' the council should adopt a definite policy on the question. - It should a poor policy to' put factories all ever the city, he said. Oshawa was poorly laid out, with blind streets and 'fac- tories all over, due to lack of fore- sight of previous councils and a policy should be adopted now in-re- gard to an industrial arca.
