Among some of the advances dur- ing the year in the civic arena, arc noted the improvements to the har, bor, the purchase of the local elec trical and f plants, which are now under the control of the city, and the establishment of an indus- trial area. During the year, the city experienced an increase in population of 1,376 and in assessment of over $800,000, and jumped from 13th to 9th place among the cities of Ontario. A large auxiliary pump, powered by one of the largest gasoline engines ever built for this purpose in the world, was installed at the pump house, bringing the equipment at the pumping station up to a high stand- ard. The vear saw decreases in both electrical and water rates, the estab- lishment of a 10-minute street car service, the inauguration of a juvenile the building of a technical school, a hockey arena and the new Children's She and the prelimin= ary opening of the Genosha Hotel. Industrial Progress In the industrial field, many inter- esting events are noted. General Motors of Canada secured the export trade for Chevrolets to Spain, Egypt and New Zealand, brought out two new cars, the Viking and the Mar- quette, established a new all-time | monthly production record, and erect- | ed the Parts and Service building and a big concrete tunnel. The Williams Piano Co. ente red the manufacture of outboard motor boats, and establish- ced a new i production record. The Duplate Saiety Glass Co., a sub- sidiary of the W, E, Phillips Co. Exd., started quantity production, The Skinner Co. located in Oshawa. Gale & Trick of this city expanded and purchased 7,000 acres of spruce tim- ber in British Columbia. The Oshawa Industrial Foundation Limited was formed to encourage the establish- ment of new industries, In another field the Oshawa dis- trict did not have an enviable re~ cord, however, There were 40 sud- den deaths that took 14ace here, or occurred to Oshawa people elsewhere. A large number of these occurred in the immediate vicinity of Oshawa, many were due to motor accidents near Bowmanville, and several' in other districts immediately adjacent to this city. The big storm of last April, in which four lost their lives, and the tragic drowning fatality in Lake Ontario, in which four more were killed, were the two major items in 'one of the longest lists of sudden death experienced in 'this city in years.
