ASKS QUESTIONS ON DEAL TO GIVE. | WATER FRANCHISE. Dr. Kaiser Doubts Authority of Council to Make Bargain The new Oakland Eight just an- nounced by General Motors is pow- ered with a sturdy, compact, Y0-de- gree, V-type eight cylinder motor employing many new but thoroughly proved principles of design, The 1930 Qakland is said to attain new perf- ormance standards in the field of moderate priced motor cars. The Features These are a few of the features which it is claimed distinguish the new Oakland Eight: Eighty-five brake horsepower from an engine of 251 cubic inches dis- placement, Hill-climbing ability far above av- crage, equalling or exceeding that ot many cars much higher in price. New self-energizing, mechanical brakes which bring the car to a dead stop in 16 fect at 20 miles per hour or in 53 feet at 35 miles per hour. Acceleration trom 10 to J35 miles per hour in 10 seconds. No vibration point within the dri- ving range. Develops one horsepower to every 37 pounds of car weight, Much Research The foregoing arc some of the re- sults achieved by Oakland's staff of veteran engincers, a group which in- cludes B. H. Anibal, F. M. Holden and Herman Schwarze, who worked together at Oakland in designing this new eight just as they did many years ago at the Cadillac Motor Car Company in designing the first V- type eight ever produced on this con- tinent. W. R. Milner, the same body engineer: who formerly teamed with this group at Cadillac, is responsible for the "sleek, Jower style of Oak- land's esven body models, Backed by "he inventive research and experimental resources oi Gen- eral Motors, these men with O, E. Summers and several other engin- eers toiled for three years to pro- duce the new Oakland Eight. Con- vinced of the many outstanding ad- vantages presented by the V-type en- gine, they built 12 distinct variants of this type, Which were subjected to more than 1,000,000 miles of road testing in 50 complete test cars be- fore a final decision was reached. The Power Plant The heart of the Oakland Eight is its power plant, in which the com- pactness, reliability and simplicity of the V-type engine are enhanced by a number of patentable features. The compactness of the V-type en- gine has been capitalized to the li- mit by adopting a "square" bore to stroke ratio. The bore of 37-16 inch- es and the stroke of 3 3-8 inches are practically equal. Cvlinder compres- To the Mayor and Council of the City of Oshawa. Dear Sirs: Having observed the terms of the recent purchase of land for sewer purposes from the Conant estate, may I ask you how, when, and where did the Council become authorized to grant a perpetual franchise for water in payment for land? All matters in regard to "water" have been delegated to the Utilities Commission; the Council as such have nothing to do with water. Brother, Daniel Gordon Conant, the bargain maker before the Council, and lawyer Gordon Daniel Conant of the Utilities Com- mission are not to be construed as being ohe 'and the same person. Just wait till this "perpetual fran- chige" comes before the Water Commission and we will then find out the public opinion of the law- yer in regard to the intrusion of the City Council upon the author- ity of other hodies, as well as of the prodigality of the bargain itself.
