teh THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 4, S---- man S. H. Jackson said that he ~ lieved that it would be a good thing ' e city if the Conant site were : shes, y The price of $750 per sa andi and Lon he terms by it wou pai t $3,750 per year at. nly he per bout interest, In was securing free a right-of-way the city propesty th ¢ included two 'acres Alderman Carnell, who seconded the. motion, said that, while he was not forgetting the fair claim of the other sections of the city in the mat- ter of industrial areas, he admitted that, after seeing all of the available sites, the most eligible one was the Conant property, There was no other property that was so readily avail- able, with all conveniences laid to the property, The Industrial Committee and the Chamber of Commerce sould now be able fo meet a manu- with something "definite . to offer, and he declared that the pur- chase of this property was in the best interests of the working men of the city as well as every man who wished to see the city progress. » Opposition Raised The first note of opposition was raised by Alderman Douglas, who opposed the 'acquisition © the total area of 23% acres. It was net all fieeded, he asserted, declaring that if a firm wanted a 30-acre property in 'some other part of the city there would not be enough of the $30,000 left to buy it. He hinted that the demand of two firms for land on this property, which had already been re- ported by the industrial committee, was artificial and produced to try to pursuade the council to believe that all the firms would want to lo- cate in the south. He suggested that only 10 acres of the Conant site be Auschased buying of any more of [the fand would be a gamble. % Alderman Hart--" life is a ible, Alderman Douglas. When oy boy a suit, you don't know that I live long enough to wear it Look To the Future .. Alderman Perry--"That has been ithe trouble 'with past councils, they did look far enough into the {future and buy more land in the city. We , should purchase this cite while we can secure it at this price, There is little chance of any industry needing | pb, +30 acres of land mm another section "of the Jd firm desiring 15 or (- ;acres to start with would be a very large company, and we will have i money enough to buy 20 acres of the Everson property." i724 By purchasing the Conant site, the hroity 'was being given two acres in «addition for a 66-foot right-of-way to the city farm property which would make available 70 acres of city : owned land for industrial sites. Al- noderman Disney pointed out. Scathing Criticism Scathing criticism was poured by by Alderman Preston upon the heads "of all the supporters of the purchase of the Conant site, It was a most peculiar transaction he, asserted, ridiculing the "joy ride" that the {council had taken, in' chartering a bus and viewing all of the available { ifidustrial "sites in the city and de- | claring that it was being "rammed : down the throat" of the council. An 'industrial area in this section of the city was a joke--why, it would cost { workingmen « 84 cents per week in street car fares to get to it. Trading facilitics and most of the houses were in the north end, he declared. i The gift of two acres of land i for a. right of way did not influence { him in the least, he declared. If the | ctiy farm were suitable for indus- trial arcas, a strip of land for a street | to get to it could be expropriated. The farm however, was not suitable ¢ for this purpose at tlic present time. | An. area like 23%; acres should not ! be bought in one place, he said, de- claring that only the 7 acres required immediately for prospective indus- ! tries should be bought. "The Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited," he said "has not issued any official : statement that it would build its in- dustrial incubator building on the Conant site. We should be assured that this company wants to use the Conant property before it is purchas- the Industrial Foundation ol says it will build on this land, we should buy it, if not, the y ee ares should not be purchased," declared, Abra Dier Limited, have agreed fo carry out their development work on the Cons gut propert , said Alderman Har, the cc y. The coun- pen: Fi ol, in best Tie i ~ | the only land where facilitics were' available at mo addis tional expense to the city, and in addition the city was being given free a right-of-way into its own prop- erty. He saw a picture of great in- dustrial deve ment if this Jind were purchased, fermad Hart declar stating hip 1929 council sh lie not fall ig the ors of its pre- decessors in not ooking info the fu- ture, '"l am. surprised to see ex-mayor Preston, whom I had considered as a fairly progressive mayor, taking the view he has on this question," said Alderman McLecse. "We have the opportunity now to make a real pros vision for the city's industrial ad- vancement ; if we have not the vision to seize this opportunity, we are not this city. The ratepayers are urging that provision be made for the se- progress in this direction now, 'we will get our medicine at the next municipal - elections. An Ideal Site The Conant site was an ideal site for manufacturers déclared Alderman E. Jackson, who said that the work- ing men would not spend any more on street car fares than they did today, Cars were crowded every day with men. travelling from the south to the north end of the city to work in face tories there. There will still be many industries in the northern section, to ke the men living in the north oc- ed, he said. he. city had only: to July 16 to take up Mr. Conant's option, Alder- man S. H. Jackson said, pointing out that after that date the land would £%st at least $1,000 per acre instead of $750, Ten acres would then cost $10,000; the city would lose the gift of two acres of land for a street to the city farm Thich Jf Exbropiated, would cost at least $ 500 per acre, . This made ; "total of $13, 000. herefore, the balance of the site, or 13 1-2 acres, was being secured for $4,625 if the council tool Conant's option, or in other words the city was securing the extra 13% acre tract at $342.50 per acre he said. Mayor Condemns Attacks Condemnation of Alderman Prest- on's 'attacks on the project was made by Mayor Mitchell. "It has been in- sinuated that the council was in a hurry to buy this property, If any member thinks that any other mem- ber of this council has any ulterior motive in connection with this matter, 20 | he should say so, and not make va- gue insinuations, "The 'joy ride' as Alderman Prest- on terms it, was made following a miotion passed in open council that the council visit all the available in< dustrial areas. In order to do this in the time at our disposal, the chart- ering of a bus was the best way of making this tour. Following this tour, the industrial ommittee brought in a report as to the area which, in its opinion, should be purchased, and 1 take exception to the inference that this was 'rushed. No Danger of Mistake "There is no danger of a serious mistake, when 'the bylaw requires two-thirds majority of this council. We should ture, and we should build a real in- dustrial area, not make the mistake of allowing a factory on every street corner. The people had faith in this council, voting by 7 to 1, for the es- tablishmgnt of an industrial area, and I have not yet heard one remark on the street criticising the council on taking immediate action, . "This purchase will, in my opinion, not touch the $30,000 debenture issue authorized by the people, for we can casily pay for the Conant property out of current revenue, as the agree- ment spreads the payment over a per- iod of five years. The sale of the properties to manufacturers will re- turn every cent of the money to the city with interest so that it will not cost the ratepayers onc dollar," said the mayor. The motion" of Alderman S, H. Jackson and Carnell was then pur, carrying a 9-3 vote. Aldermen E. Jickson, Hart, R. McDonald Boddy, erry, McLeese, Disney, S. H. Jack- son, and Carnell supported the motion and Aldermen Douglas, Mason and Preston opposed it, Another motion by Aldermen Car- nell and McLeese that a six months option on at least 7 acres of the Ev- erson property, immediately north of Alice street and east of Oshawa pu i AHR I IAHHEET NE YOU CAN HAVE A SUMMER'S RIDING FOR PRICE OF GAS!
