This basin, and the slip, which is now marked off by the wharf and a breakwater, at a width of 175 feet, will be 'dredged to a depth of 15 feet, the hdrbor thus ng able to accommodate practi- cally all Jake vessels. Creek Diversions Oshawa and Harmony creeks, which h flow into the area designated in the plans as the harbor basin, will both be diverted so that they will not deposit silt in the harbor. The diversion of the Oshawa creek will . start at the point about 300 feet east of the Simcoe street south road, where it turns south irito the harbor. Instead of being allowed to turn south, it will be continued in a straight line in an casterly direction until it empties into Harmony creek. Harmony creek will be diverted at a point near the lake shore where it makes a slight turn to the west to enter into the harbor basin, and will be continued on in a straight line to empty into the lake east of the har- bor breakwater, and entirely outside the harbor. The present creck beds which will be abandoned, will be fill- ed in after the diversion is made. « The area which will be made the harbor basin is at the present time swamp land, but will be dredged out to a depth of.15 feet. The earth re- moved by this dredging will be emp- tied into the swamp land surround: ing the harbor basin, reclaiming this swamp so that it will be above the + water line and will be available for industrial sites. This work will all be done this year. . It will probably take until fall to complete, but boats should be able to enter the Oshawa harbor with the opening of navigation next spring, The Larger Project This Project while large enough to give Oshawa an ample harbor accom- For Your Health ith the health of yourself, or of of your family, de- t upon a physician's prescrip conscientious duty. is a recognized part .

NEXT THE POST OFFIO modation for jake boats, is only part of the whole plan hat the Depart- ment of Public Works has drawn up. The project will be yroceeded with in such » way that the sarbor basin can ly enlarged to the north and west, ving a much jar- er turning basin for iarge vessels, t can also De deepened at a late date should this be warranted by the size of vessels desiring to enter the harbor. Tentative plans show this development which will take place at a later date. A The swamp land at present sur- rounding the harbor is now owned by the crown, but arrangements are being made whereby s land will be taken over by the city. The fill which will be made in the swamp this year will make It available for industrial sites, giving the city an additional industrial area surround- ing the harbor. ; This harbor development ties up with a large development scheme which has been worked out by the city council with the co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce, for this whole area. Directly north of the harbor is a large level ares on the city farm which would make an ideal air port, and which will accommodate both land and seaplanes. To the west of the city farm is an indus- trial area facing on Simcoe street, which the city council has decided to purchase from G. D. Conant. This will be linked up with an industrial area and with the airport on the city farm by a road which Mr. Conant is giving between the Simcoe street arca and the city farm, and the whole project is in close proximity to the harbor, The council is now working on the air port project. City Engineer W. C. Smith having been sent to Ot- tawa yesterday to secure from the Department of National Defence all available information regarding civic airports, and on his return he will report to the council on the project. | ARRANGEMENTS FOR G.M.C.

'.. The donation by the corporation of a beautiful Pontiac Big Six Coach is again one of the mmin attractions of the picnic. The car has been on display in a special tent on King street east since Monday, July 29, and many have been admiring its trim so I cannot see why they should not be able to do «the same as we are lines, suggestive of speed and com- fort in motoring, The machine has been running on a treadmill since Monday, July 29th, from 7 pm. to 10 p.m. and then from 10 am. to 10 p.m. daily and will continue to run thus until tomorrow, August 8th at 7 p.m., Sunday, August 4th excepted. ¢| Each employee who was on the pay- roll on April 2nd, 1929, and who is still in standing will be given a ballot on which he may state the number of miles he thinks the car has run. The employee guessing clo- sest to the actual mileage will re- ceive the car as prize. In case of a tie for the winning number of mules the car will be run for 20 minutes on the platform in Lakeview Park at 6 p.m, August 10th, and contest- ants will be required to make another guess, The winner of the car must be at car platform at 5 p.m.. August 10th, The committee points out that hal- fot boxes have been placed onc at each of the three watchman's huts at the Division street entrances, one at the Mary and Richmond street entrance, one at the paint shop en- trance, one at the Industrial Rela- tions Building entrance and one at the tent on ing street east. All boxes are protected by the company police and will be closed at 8 o'clock tomorrow night raffic Plans Arrangements have been made whereby two traffic officers, one from the city force and the other from the company, will patrol Simcoe street south leading to the park so that traffic congestion may be prevented. City and company police will also assist the traffic officers in the reg- ulation of traffic. All committee men are requested to be on the grounds in good time so that they may help keep the crowd at a safe distance from the fireworks, Free Tickets Free tickets are being issued to all children of employees entitling each one to four ice cream cones, one box of crackley nuts, one choco- late bar, a ride on the merry-go- round and a ride on the ferris whecl. Transportation is being provided through the Oshawa Street Railway. In summary it is no wild prophecy to state that there will be barrels of fun for everyone, parents, children young and old and almost half of Oshawa will be making merry at Lakeview Park next Saturday. So pack up the old lunch basket and , let's all go. : What Others Say i MUSIC IN THE PARKS The Editor, Sir: Would you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper, to reply to the article in last night's issue of The Times, regarding music in the Park, In the first place, he says it is an attempt to discredit the Salvation Army, on account of what Music Lov- er said, TI myself fail to see it. They were given a grant the same as we were only fifty dollars less, and we are playing the same number of con- certs as the Regimental Band for that money. All our Band are working men, and they also receive mo renums eration at all from this source, so his statement of going into the pockets is 'misleading in our case. Neither members of the Band or the Band- master has received one cent of re- numeration since our Band was or- ganized 3 years ago, as all the money we have received thus far, has gone to buy uniforms, music, and stands, etc, so our Bandsmen are donating their time and talent free of charge, the same as they are, practising from four to five hours each week, to help provide music in the parks of Oshawa during the summer. He said he would like Music Lover's opinion as to how long other bands would last, if they had to buy their own uniforms, and music. I may state that we have been doing this for nearly three years and we are still going strong, and the grant received helps us to buy these things, and up to the present time not one man in our Band has received one cent of renumeration of any kind, GREATEST 'CROOK ROMANCE OF ALL TIME! ; ny THURSDAY with LIONEL BARRYMORE KARL DANE ™ LEILA HYAMS Last Times 'TODAY: "Desert Song" * | last year, 43 were employees of Gen- for the grant received, : From one who has not received any money in his pocket from Band con- certs, Yours truly, ALFRED BEAL, Oshawa Citizen's Band, FIRE HALL TO BEREPAR (Continued from page 3) rates was under consideration, A report would be made at an early date on the rates, the commission stated, Mayor Mitchell reported on _ the meeting of the special Hydro Com- mittee of the council with the Hydro Electric Power Commission. It would not cost the city more than perhaps $1,000 to have the HE P.C. operate the local plants for the bal ance of the year, until the Public Utilities Commission of the city took it over, he said. To Make Survey The parks commission was request- ed to make a survey on the necessity of a park and children's playground i the College Hill section of the city, The Board of Works was requested to report at the next meeting on the request of the Oshawa Railway for pavement of streets leading to their car barns, ' Asks Relief From Floods H. J. Adams, of 619 Oxford street, appeared before the council asking relief from flooding conditions on his property after every heavy rain, De- spite repeated complaints to the city engineer, no action had been taken, he said, A ditch would remedy the situation, he said. Alderman R, D. Preston, chairman of the Board of Works, gave his personal guarantee that the condition would be remedied. Mr, Williams spoke to the council regarding an illustrated booklet of Oshawa which he contemplated pub- lishing. Council agreed to sit for a picture to be printed in the booklet. To Discuss Employment A motion was made by Aldermen Douglas and S. H. Jackson that the mayor and a committee of the coun- cil meet the executives of the Gen- eral Motors of Canada with regard to the periodical slump at the local factories and the care of the employ- ees' families, Of 88 families aided by the city between October and April eral Motors, he said, This year's estimate for relief has already been practically used up. Mayor Mitchell declared. The city would have to give relief in the way of work, and some scheme would have to be devised to give employment on city works, said Al- derman Carnell. He suggested that an adequate sewer program be con- sidered, The motion carried unanimously. Street Extension The Feldspar Glass Company re~ plied to the council's effort to secure land for the extension of Alice street east from. Ritson road that, since this would divide their land into two parcels, causing considerable damage to their property, they could not con- sider selling land to the city for this street, They suggested that the strip of 15 feet in width conveyed to the Hydro Commission at the north end of their property, and which was not owned by the city in taking over the local hydro systeni, be used as part of the width of a street, and offer- ed to give the city a few feet more along this strip to aid them in put- ting a street through at this point. The 'letter was referred to the city property committee. DAYLIGHT SAVING A resolution of the city of Strat- ford petitioning the Dominion gov- ernment to make daylight saving time general throughout the Dominion, was referred to the general purpose committee for consideration, Work On Bridge H. L. Pascoe, chairman, and D. J. Kean, engineer of the Suburban Roads Commission replied to the council's complaint regarding the slowness of the work and the unsat- isfactory temporary bridge around the Conlin's bridge, which is being reconstructed, They stated that the detour provided around by Five Points was only one mile longer than the road via Conlin's bridge, and de- clared that work on this bridge would be finished by August 15. Band Concerts The police commission informed the council that the commission had adopted the council's resolution to prohibit parking in the vicinity of arks during band concerts, which held up traffic and to prevent juven- iles from creating disturbances durs ing the concerts, and would take the necessary steps in this regard, Juvenile Court Salaries I. A. Humphries, acting deputy at- torney general, informed the council that salaries would have to be pro- vided by the council for the judge, chief probation officer and clerk of the juvenile court; who have now been functioning three months with- out salary. Should the council not take prompt action in this regard, the lieutenant-governor may make an order fixing salaries for these o1- ficials, he stated . Additional Deed for Street G. D. Conant presented the coun- cil with a deed for a strip of land 14 feet in width in front of the addi- tional one acre of land purchased by the Skinner Company from him, the council accepting it. This strip wl eventually be carried down to the lake, widening Simcoe street to 80 teet, . The request of McLaughlin Coal & Supplies that they be given a share of the city's cement business was re- ferred to the Board of . Works. Sidewalk Petitions Petitions for sidewalks on St. Ju- lien street, Athol street east, and Cadillac street, for sewers on Cad- illac street, Athol street east and Patricia street; and for sidewalks and the grading of the road on Oshawa street, were referred to the Board of Works. A petition for street lights on Oshawa street was referred to the city property committee. - More Street Lights Street lights were authorized as follows : 3 3 lights on Lauder road; 2 lights on Annis street, east of Douglas street; 1 light on Hall street, west of Centre street; 1 light en Hillcroft street, ncar the east end of the pres- Ds - pe Stocks are Added to With Superlative Values to Make August an Opportune Time to Save All Women's and Misses Bathing Suits Take a Deep Every available source of supply is searched in our efforts to secure for you worthy merchandise at worth while savings in seasonable lines. eager to clear their stocks right now.

Jail officials olaim that Schafer's dislike for the jail was because of the strictness in the enforcement of the rules concerning magazines of the type which the prisoner attemp- ted to bring in and 'tobacco, Gov- ernor Lucas is to be commended for the strict enforcement of the rules which in this case might have resulted in serious consequences. No Other Complaints As there has been a great deal of publicity about the condition of the county jail through Schafer's objec- tion in police court, Sheriff Paxton informed The Times that he made an inspection of the jail every two weeks and has always found it to be in good condition as to cleanliness and the treatment and food the pri- soners received to be excellent. The sheriff has always found the prison- ers to be well satisfied' with the con- ditions there and has received no complaints outside of Schafer's, It is expected that Schafer's re- quest to be moved to Guelph will be granted and the move made shortly. 3--DAYS--3 New Martin|| od 3 / Ji ' Farce Full of Hilar- ious 'Fun ~~ 7 Yellow Cab 38% CHAPTER 9 The Final Reckoning A ride for Life and Getting near the finish
