HOLDEN : ys DOOOOE S$ WHITBY AND OSHAWA TO JOIN IN AIRPORT OFFICER FROM OT- TAWA PAYS VISIT TO WHITBY Makes Complete Survey of Possibilities for Air- port Here If the Town of Whitby wishes {to establish a municipal airport, the best and .10tt e Jmomic move would be to co-operate with the city of Oshawa, which now has such a project in view, so that both muniecipalitira could use the rame airport, and beth derive ben- efit therefrom. g Such is the opinion of an of- ficer from the Department of Na- tional Defrnsse rt Ottawa who visited Whitby on Friday after- noon and, in company with mem- bers of the Town Council and Town officials, made an inspec- tion of Whitby Harbor and the lands adjoining which have been declared as most suital's for. the establishment of an air camp of the"Camp Borden type. The visiting officer whe is em- ployed by the Department at Oc tawa to give advice to municipal- ities seeking Information regard- ing the establishment of municipal airports, came to Whitby on the invitation of the Town Council. He arrived in a DeHavilland moth plane, and. as he landed in a field on Mr. Robert Sleep's farm bord- ering on the lake, he was met by Mayor Dudley, Reeve, Kenny, Couns, R. TI. Deverel', Jamc Ormiston, Robe.t Reid and Town Engineer ~~ L. Prinzle Inspected Harbor In automobiles a visit was first made to the Harbor, the officer being much impressed 1 ith sama. A survey was then mede of adjoin- ing lands on two or three farms included in the map prepared when Whitby was trving to land the Camp Borden project. The officer expressed the opin- fon that while Whitby possessed ideal facilities for an airport, it would cost the town many thou- sands of dollars to embark upon a municipal airport scheme---an ex- penditure which he did not think the town would be able to should: er. Much would be required in the | senting of smaller prizes. "DODD'S "KIDNEY way of dredging, (filling in of marsh lands, and ground levelling, The officer was of the opinion, however, that Whitby would be an ideal place for the establish- ment of a government airport both for aeroplanes and hydroplanes. Both Might Benefit Referring to the move in Osh- awa to establish an airport, the officer stated that the land there wag very suitable although a great expenditure would be required, He thought that Whitby, if it did not wish to undertake the cost of an airport, might co-operate with Oshawa in this respect, as places were so clog together, Whitby, he stated, might benefit to some extent from an airport at Oshawa Before leaving Whitby for Tor- onto, Mayor Dudley on behalf of the council thanked the officer for his kindness in coming to Whitby, and for the observations he had made. He took Engineer Pringle for a trip over the town and countryside before starting fcr Toronto, PRIZES FIXED FOR THE STREET FAIR Further Plans Made For Band and Legion Carnival A radio, a chesterfield suite, 3 tons of coal and a load of hardwood are to be the prizes offered for the prizt draw to be held in connec- tion with the street fair which is to take place on Thursday evening, October 31, under the auspices of the Whitby Legion and the Citi- zen's Band. The decision was made at a meeting last night, of the exe- cutive, elected to conduct the fair. Considerable discussion took place as to the advisability of offering a car again this year, or the pre- In mak- ing the decision the executive comn- sidered that it would cost at least $800 to put up a car while the tic- kets would have to be sold at a dol- lar apiece, whereas with the other prizes the total cost would not ex- ceed $500, and the tickets could be offered at H0c apiece.

M BUILDING LEFT TO BOWMANVILLE 15 T0 BE SOLD | TOWN WILL RECEIVE 59 | PER CENT. OF THE PROCEEDS Action on McGill Bequest of Washington Building Is Likely Soon Mauy residents are wondering when Bowmanville is going to hear more of the bequest that was left the town which after 20 years of fighting in the courts was finally awarded the town early this year. The property is a 7 storey office building in Washington, D.C., which was bequeathed to Bowmanville on the death of James McGill, a foru- er resident. Owing to a law in ex- istence in the United States, no alien can hold property in the dis- trict of Columbia and this will make it necessary to sell the build- ing to realize anything on the be- suest. Although the will stated that the proceeds derived from the sale of the building were to go to the town entirely, an agreement was reached in 1912 that the surviving brothers of the late James McGill should al- so share in the legacy. Bowman< ville will now receive 59 per cent and the others entitled will receive the remainder. The Times was told on good authority that the es- tate is now waiting on the selling of the building before final distri- bution. As soon as the building is sold and the other heirs paid oft Bowmanville will receive its share. While there are no new develop- ments in the case of recent date the building has been placed on sale and some action is expected in the near future. . During the summer, owing to so many away on vacation, Washing ton city real estate business is not very brisk, but with the coming of rall it will pick and it is tnought that the property which is valuable will soon be sold. The estimated value of the bequest is in the neigh- borhood of $300,000 but John Me- Gil laged 70, of 32 St. Marys St., Toronto, a brother of the deceased will receive 233% per cent and Mrs. W. H. Cluxton of Chicago, a niece of James McGill will receive 173% per cent. The remainder going to Bowmanville through the agree- ment reached several years ago will amount it is thought to $160,000, out of which will have to come the expenses of the proceedings that have been necessary to hold the town's rights.
