ACTION HEARING OF PICKERING TOWNSHIP PLEA CLOSED "ngineers Present Technical Evidence Regarding Whitevale Bridge (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, July 6--Judgmient was re- served by His Honor Judge J. Ruddy when an application to have the County of Ontario assume the cost of replacing a bridge at Whitevale, in Pickering township, was heard before him in county court chambers yesterday. The application was made by Pickering township on the ground * 'that the new bridge and its approa- thes would measure 300 feet and would therefore have to be included in the county road and bridge sys- tem as provided by statute. The hearing lasted from ten o'clock, yes- terday morning, until after seven o'clock: last night, Bigger Span Needed Much evidence of a technical na- 'ture was submitted to the court by Conty Engineer D., J. Kean, En- gineer J. Babcock, of Toronto, ap- pearing for the township, and En- tgineer W. MacLean, of Toronto, for- mer deputy minister of highways. Al- though the span of the former bridge was sixty feet, the engineers were all agreed that the span of the new bridge would have to measure 80 feet. It is estimated that the cost of the new structure would be be- tween $15,000 and $20,000. The bridge at Whitevale is situa- ted on the 5th Concession of Picker- Ing township. This spring it was washed away by severe floods and at the presentime the creek is spanned by a temporary wooden structure. The flood increased the width of the creek bed thus necessitating a longer span, The county is opposing the applica- tion, contending in view of the fact that the 5th concession is not a coun- ty road and does not bear a great deal of traffic. An Aged Witness 'W. Beaton, of Toronto, appeared cn behalf of the township while G. D. Conant of Oshawa acted for the county in conjunction with County Clerk A, E. Christian, One of the witnesses was William Burton, of Whiteyale, aged eighty-four and the oldest resident of the village, In spite of his advanced age Mr. Bur- ton was quite at his ease in offer- ing evidence and described accur- ately the history of the bridges which. had been built across the creek during his lifetime. ° The court's decision is subject to appeal."

Winter Place, The Beverley, Southern Pines, N, Carolina Correction Made of Regrettable Error Bowmanvile, July 6.--A regret- table error occurred in a report in yesterday's Bowmanville Times in connection with a police court charge against Robert Brown, of Bowmanville, charged with indec- ent assault. It was stated that he had been convicted, and the head- ing on the item was to the effect that he had been found guilty on a serious charge. This was incorrect, and should have read that he had been merely committed for trial by Magistrate Ward, and will be tried, not sentenced, as was re- ported, at a later-date. The Times regrets this error, which was en- tirely inadvertent, and was without prejudice of any kind in the mat- ter. THE MINISTER REMARKS The stain of sin will never be re- moved by 2 mild wash of sentimental idealism. When a hen sings I am always in- terested to see whether it has laid or lied, Some people are not even as in- teresting as a last year swallow's nest. If you want a house to shelter vou in the time of storm, make sure that it is built on the rock of reality and not on the sand of delusion. Some people would be quite will- ing to embrace Christianity, if they Were not obliged to take tob much of it, I have noticed that the man who is feared to his face is usually hated behind his back. ' If Christ had not risen from the dead Christianity would have been forever buried. --AF, News, advertising and subscriptions will be received at the Bowmanville Office of The Times.
