B. Mit- chell, Alderman George Hart, the Chairman of the Board of Works, and city engineer W. C, Smith, The hearing will be at Ottawa om Jan. 21. The city appealed for a rehear- ing of the judgment handed down by the Board of Railway Commis- sioners in November, 1928, which apportioned the cost of the sub- way as $100,000 against the Rail- way Grade Crossing Fund; $86,000 against the Canadian National Railways and the Oshawa Railway Company; and $64,000 against the ci*y. The ¢ 'ef poifit in the city's application for a rehearing was the division of cost of paving through the subway, entirely as- sessed against the city, which should, the city claims, be shared by the Oshiwa Railway. Other clauses in the judgment are also appealed against. In addition, tha city is seeking ar~urance that a now station wi'l be erected in Oshawa, It is under- stood that the C. N.

Richards of Port Perry, President, presiding. Rev. A, Floyd Smith of dt Church, Brampton, wave the opening address. Among the speak- ers who will address the school are: Rev. D.

( Kinnon, Perth, and others, $450,000 BORROWED. The council last night author- ized the borrowing «of amounts uy to $450,000, with interest at six per cent. to meet the current ex- penditures of the city until the first instalment of taxes is payable in June. Commenting to The '11:ues the situation, Alderman P. MacDonald, chairman of the fin- committee, remarked that there were still approximately $230,000 of the 1929 taxes not paid, and that if these taxes hada been paid, or were paid during the first part of this year, the borrow- ing of only about half of the $450,- 000 would be necessary, with a consequent big saving in interest payments that the town wonl Osh- the the the c I have to make, was able to float free. Dr, Barnes was called to Quebec by the Davie Shipbuilding com- pany, owners of the Champlain drydock, to try out the effect of his composition on the formation that ordinarily renders the dry- dock useless during the winter sea- son. Using a high-pressure pump and hose, Dr. Barnes sprayed surface of the approach to the ( ok and the surrounding waters, whie many people stood about to wit- ness the experiment. Within thro minutes after the spraying naa ceased the ice started to break up which | of assessable ! city, | y | tween R A | the question of the use of the new | | vocational addition to the Oshawa | Collegiate Institute and Vocational School, according to a decision 'of | | the' Board of Education at the in- | | augural meeting held last night. It ig the desire of the hoard that | the Minister give permission for the local school to arrange the | classes go that scholars of all three departments, including the aca- demic, commercial and technical will not have to be continually as- cending and descending stairs In | order to go to their various | | classes, Much Congestion The discussion on the subject was introduced by Trustee Annis | who pointed out that the officials of the Department of Education! had been firm in stating thar the new technical addition was to be used for vocational pupils alone otherwise the government | not pay the 50 per cent, grant for the construction and equipment of the addition, If the Department held to this attitude, the three de- partments would be divided in such a way that there would be much congestion on the stairs as | scholars moved from class room | to class room between periods. The board, Mr. Annis stated | had proposed that class rooms | In the academic department | downstairs be exchanged class rooms of the technical | department on the second floor. It was hoped that in this way the technical department could be ac- |. comodated entirely on the ground floor, the academic and commercial departments to occupy the second and third floors. This would then | remove much of the confusion and disturbance which might result be- periods if the board were forced to adopt the other system, Reasonable Request Although the board was fully aware that officials of the Depari- ment of Education had offered no | encouragement when the Bugges- tion was previously made, it w felt that the request was reason- | able and logical and that the Minister of Education would give a careful hearing to any delega- tion which might be sent. During the discussion it was ! made evident that the opening date | of the collegiate addition has not vet been decided upon. Premier 8S. Howard Ferguson, Minister of Education, will be invited to offi- ciate on this occasion, BEGGARS PROFIT IN OSHAWA CITY of a Pair of Alleged! Beggars Had Bought Liquor F reely One Duncan Gillies and Touras Cedar, | who appeared before Magistrate J.| [WV illis in city police court today, on | charges of vagrancy, evidently found | that begging mm Oshawa was a pro- fitable business. When the two men | were arrested it was found that Gil- lies had a liquor permit in his pos- session and had purchased a gallon of wine and six pints of beer yester- day. 'The pair have been in Oshawa for several days on the pretext that they were looking for work. They slept in the cells of the local police station and instead of spending their days searching for work, they occupied the time in begging, the police allege. Both Gillies and Cedar were re- manded in custody for eight days, thus allowing time for the police to investigate their characters. Other Cases The case of Bert Wood, who is charged with non-support of his wife was adjourned this morning until February 13. Col. J. F. Grierson is acting for the defence. John Osmok and Mike Drapak, youthful Ukranians, were remanded on bail of $500 each when they plead- ed not guilty to a charge of causing bodily harm to James McQuarrie. The incident otcurred at the Ritson xroad dump when the youths were | firing at tin cans with a .22 calibre rifle. A bullet went astray and is al- leged to have struck McQuarrie in | the leg. The parents of the lads re- oo bail and they will appear in court again on the 28th. ari -------- | Automobiles may be almost as dead-' {ly as war, but they don't make you | salute all day and scratch all night. --Publishers Syndicate. | Too Late To Classify | FUR 827 "NIC" iD FRAME with | | mittee { the time Board of Education Elects A.W.
