Marie from Wednesday, July 31, to Mon- day, August 5, -according to Leon Frazer, secretary of the local Cham- ber of Commerce and a member of the O.M.L. directorate who arrived home yesterday after attending the convention. No complaints had been received by the league concerning Oshawa, however, Mr. Frazer was pleased to report. There were instances where tourists had considered that they were marks for unscrupulous trades- men, but this had not been the case locally. Although the League considered that these complaints had received over much publicity it was decided at the convention that in the case where a tourist became involved in a minor accident he was often sub- jected to annoying delays before it could be ascertained whether he was liable for damages or not. It was therefore suggested that the Ontar- io Government should be requested to call a conference of all those in- terested with the object of arrang- ing some method whereby visiting tourists involved in any minor ac- cident should not be delayed in their journey but that the necessary guar- antce be deposited to cover the cost of damages for which: tourists might be found liable. Mr. Frazer stated that he greatly cnjoyed the conventeion and the trip to Sault Ste. Marie, He was much impressed with the spirit of co-op- eration manifested between the Am- crican and the Canadian Sault and pointed out that although situated in different countries the two commun- ities almost seemed like one munici- pality. Delegates at the convention were well entertained and their itinerary included a tour of inspection of the arge plant of the Algoma Steel Corporation. SIX CYLINDER CARS NOW LEAD IN PRODUCTION Change of "Chevrolet From Four to Six Is Responsible For the first time in the history of the automobile industry, six cy- linder cars promise to lead the field in production this year, according to a survey by the Chevrolet divis- ion of the General Motors of Can- ada, Limited, completed today, Up until this year four cylinder cars ranked first in annual production volume. Comparative production figures for the first six months of this year are offered in support of the forecast. During this period there were pro- duced approximately 1,900,000 sixes as compared with approximately 1.- 205,000 fours, an indie ation of what the total for the year is apt to be. How the change comes about is illustrated in the survey. Chevro- let's manufacturing goal for the year is 1,350,000 cars. Chevrolet's change-over from a for to a six means a deduction of this enormous total from the . four cylinder field and adds it to the six cylinder field, How the automobile picture has changed almost overnight will be noted in an inspection of -the 1928 showing. Last year when Chevrolet was producing a four cylinder car, four cylinder manufacturers built approximately - 2,098,000 cars, with one large manufacturer of four cy- linder cars on limited production duc to model change, while six cy- linder manufacturers were making $1,617,00 cars. Great volume production, coupled with expert direction in the engin eering, manufacturing and selling branches of, the business are -given as reasons that are making it pos- sible for the automobile industry to lead all others in: giving the public the utmost for its money.

Dek ASK LIFE SAVER The police commission of this city, in a letter to the city council last night, requested that a full time life saver be engaged at the lake during the summer months in each year, and that adequate life saving equipment be purchased and placed at the lake. The matter was referred to the finance com- mittee. vy vw FALSE ALARM Some person possessed with a perverted sense of humor wis re- sponsible in causing the fire de- partment to make a useless run to Front street, near the Phillips Glass Co. factory last night. An alarm was rung in at the box situ- ated in the vicinity and when the department arrived there was nu sign of a fire or the person who had turned in the alarm. * BAND WAS ENTHUSIASTIC "Three cheers for the red, white and blue. Three cheers--" Lust- ily playing this good old march, a fife'and drum band of local Orange Lodge out on a practise, swung around the corner of Richmond St. from Simcoe, last night and effec- tively drowned out the proceedings of the city council meeting in pro- gress at the hall. Not until the strains of music had died away in the distance could the members of the council resume their delibera- tions. SLIGHT FIRE OUTBREAK The new fire horn at the Gen- eral Motors plant had occasion to blow this morning when a slight fire occurred in the third floor fin- | ishers' room of the building on the east side of Mary street. The blaze was extinguished by means of a hand extinguisher before the fire horn was blown, the damage amounting to only $25. * AWNING IN ¥ IRE An unusual incident occurred on King street west at 10 o'clock this morning when as mall blaze start- ed on an awning in front: of Brown's jewellry store. The fire brigade was summoned but by the time it had arrived on the scene the flames had been extinguished with little damage done. Fire Chief Elliott expressed the opinion that the fire had started through some- oned ropping a cigarette stub from an upstairs window. * * * NEW PUMPER ACCEPTED The new fire pumper which was recently purchased by the city, was formally accepted by the city coun- cil at its meeting last night as con- forming to specifications. The fire department may now use this new pumper on fire calls if it is requir- ed. Alderman Morris, chairman of the fire protection committee, ported that the department had stood by for Whitby and Bowman- | ville while the fire departments of these towns were attending the convention at Islington from aug- ust 2 to 5, but that no calls had been received from either place, * * x FIRE HALL INADEQUATE In order to provide room for the new fire pumper in the old fire hall, it has been found necessary to move the small Chevrolet hose truck, which has been held in readiness for second alarms, to the building on Metcalfe street, ad- joining the city offices. The city engineer was instructed by the council last night to move the road roller out of this building clean it up for the fire truck. two pumpers, * * * ORNAMENTAL GATEWAYS Plans and suggestions will 'be in- vited by the city council for the placing of ornamental gateways or arches at the east and west en- trances to the city. The suggestion was advanced by Mayor Mitchell through the city property commit tee last night that these arches would give the city a considerable amount of publicity to tourists passing through. opposed the plan that it was a waste of money, nut when' informed that the committee was being authorized only to invite drawings and suggestions, and not to proceed with the work, they al- lowed the committee's report to pass without further discussion.

Several residents of the suburban section to the west of the city limits have been inquiring when the house to house' delivery will be started. Postal authoritics state however that in spite of repeated instructions issued through the columns of The Times very few persons have taken steps to provide their homes with letter boxes or the usual openings in the doors through which mail may be slipped, Postal regulations for- bid the carrying of mail to houses where such facilities arc lacking, There is a possibility that many householders are waiting for the de- livery to commence before purchas- ing letter boxes. It is pointed out however that delivery can not be made until they take action to con- form to the regulations, Delivery must also be made only to houses served by sidewalk. Much sidewalk has been laid in West- mount this year so this factor should not prove an obstacle, MWHINNON PLANT BEING ENLARGED Tenders Now] Being Called for an Extension at St. Catharines Tenders are being received hy the McKinnon Industries Division of General Motors of Canada for a $175,000 addition which is to be made to the St. Catharines plant, it was announced to day by: H.

Project Was 12 to 3 'in Favor, Aldermen Preston, Mason and Morris Provid- ing the Opposition OVER 13 ACRES OF LAND INVOLVED Legal Points of the Purchase Agreement Given a Thor- ough Airing Bylaw Held Up for Two Weeks by a Technicality -- The new agreement with G. D; Conant for the purchase of slight- ly over 13 acres of land for in- dustrial purposes, at a price of $750 and a total of $10,035, was passed by the Oshaw: city council by a vote of 12 to 2 at its meeting last night, Although the council attempted to proceed with the sec- ond and third readings cf the hy- law in which the agreement is in- corporated, a technical ertor in the wording of the bylaw caused it to be laid over for fina) passing until a special meeting or the next ragu- lar meeting of the council, Under this agreement, all re- | strictions are removed from the | property except the 40-foot huild- | ing line, which it was necessary to maintain in order that Mr. Con- ant could keep faith with ile Skinner Company, which has pur- chased 71; acres immediately ad- joining the Industrial area. under a 40-foot building line restriction. Several members of the council declared themselves in favor of the building line heing maintained in order to fmprove the appear- ance of Simcoe street south as the main artery to Lakeview Park. To Give Strect The azreement provides that $1,419 will be paid in cash to Mr. Conant, and that the balance will be divided in four equal annual instalments and will be paid to him in the form of debentures bearing 5 per ceni interest. Under the agreement, Mr. Conant agrees to give to the city a strip of lend 80 feet in width for a street he- tween Ritson road and the city farm, connecting the industrial area cn Simcoe streel with the northern part of the city farm property, Warm Debate The debate on the acceptance of the agresment waxed warm for nearly three hours, the council not adjourning until well after mid- night, The Oshawa Daily Times was called all kinds of names hy the opposition for fits suprort of the industrial area proposition: and Aiderman Preston became so heat- od that he actually ordered Alde-- nan Perry, who disagreed with him, to the door. Several times, three or four aldermen wera on their feet at one time, interrupt ing each other and waving tneir fiss in each other's face.
