ORMISTON . ~ PAY-PART COST OF ~~ SUBWAY WIDENING | Buggested That Town, C.P. ~ R., and Prov. Government . Each Pay Third 5 he Town of Whitby has been asked to contribute one third of the 'cost of Sonktycting 3 2 in na n nel through the Pacific ! Ruliways subway on Dundas Street t, which street is-also a portion ph a Piovineial highway Jassitig ' the town, In order to widen the pavement under the sub- way, which has long been recognized as more of less of a death trap for ' motorists and pedestrians, the pres- ; ent sidewalk on the west side will have to be removed and replaced b cutting & tunnel, as already noted, through the subway. : For some time negotiations for the elimination of this death trap have © peen underway between the Council and the Provincial Department of Highways, and through the latter with the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was thought at first by the de- puty-minister, Mr. Smith, who con- ferred with Council some weeks ago, that the Dominion government, from the fund set aside for the elimina tion of level crossings, might con- tribute a portion of the. cost, but on Monday night at the Council meet- ing the clerk, John R. Frost, report- ed that he had been advised by the deputy-minister that as this fund was Jor level crossing elimination only, no help could be expected for the 'Whitby subway widening. It was puggested that if the town of Whit- Sho CART W LUMBER (0 by could §oniibute ohe third of the cost, the Provincial Government and the C.P.R, ht contribute a third each, e estimated cost is a figure which Coungil considered was away too high; and which would make the town's share three thous. Land dollars, : It was the opinion of Councillor Reid that inasmuch as the C.P.R. had built the subway, and created the nuisance, it should pay fifty per cent. Reeve Jackson pointed out, however, that the subway was built as it is now with the consent of both the town and the provincial high- ways Separtinent, phsreldre the town would have a hdrd job convincing the C.P.R. that it should pay more. Thé reeve pointed out further that so far as g GRR was concerned the subway bridge was satisfactory to them for the operation of their trains. Council was agreed that the sub- way in its present state was very dangerous and it was recalled that two years ago an Oshawa jury attri- buted the death of a motorist to the fact that the subway was too nar- row and, in their opinion, a menace to the public. Council felt also that sooner or,later a more serious acci- dent might occur at that point. After further discussion, it was decided to write the Provincial High- ways Department making another proposal provided the same, in the opinion of the town solicitor, is legal. Railway Closed Street Coun. Robert Reid called" Council's attention to the fact that on Sat. urday and Sunday evenings, when no operators were on duty for cértain hours at the Canadian National Railway station, there was no light for pedestrians obliged to cross the railway tracks to reach their homes in the south end of the town, and also that the crossing over the tracks was very rough on account of ballasting "the tracks. Coun. Reid thought that the town should either take this matter up with the CN.R. or have a light installed, Reeve Jackson recalled that years ago the Grand Trunk Railway, now the Canadian National, without per- mission from the town blocked Cen- tre Street by building right across that thoroughfare an addition to the station, such action being contrary to an agreement made with the town which included that a proper cross ing. would be provided. ; he clerk was instructed to write Travel The King's Highway DAILY COACH SERVICE OSHAWA - FA LEAVE OBHAWA AM.

FIREMEN GAVE A DEMONSTRATION OF FIRE FIGHTING Pumper Used With Four Lines of Hose--Speeches by Civic Officials : I In connection with Fire Preyven- tion Week, which is being observed in Whitby, the Fire Department on Monday evening gave a fire fighting demchstration on Bak Street South, between Dundas and Col- borne Streets. The motA® pumper, which delivers water at the rate of six -hundred imperial gallons per minute, was brought out, four lines of hose attached, and a splendid de- monstration given of how quickly a fire in the highest building in town could be attacked and subdued. A pressure of one hundred .and five pounds at the pump was maintained for some time, and the water was thrown twice as high as the tallest building in the town. In addition, the firemen demonstrate! how they can use the new long Jadders recent- ly purchased from the Oshawa Fire Department. The large number of citizens who gathered nn the streets were well pleased with the demons strations, Brief addresses wers given Ly His Worship Mayor Bowrian, Reeve Al- bert W. Jackson and Councillor J. H. Ormiston, in which the valve of fire prevention methods was stressed, the town's enviable record in the matter of exceeding low fire losses for. many years referred to, and the splendid work of the volunteer fire fighters lauded. An appeal was made for closer co-operation between the citizens and the fire department to prevent fire losses, and for a better realization of the splendid service being rendered to the town by the firemen, FORMER WHITBY PASTOR ACCEPTING NEW LABOR FIELD Rey. George A. Mclean, a former pastor of Whitby Baptist Church, and now at Danforth Avenue Church, Toronto, has resigned to become Field Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance for Western Ontario, For over a year the Alliance has been eager to secure the services of Mr, McLean, and at last he has accepted.

Bowmanville busy for a short space of time, was provided for by the Town Council at its regu- lar session in the council chamber, last evening, but it was rather dis- appointing to find that the council did not take the matter into hand really seriously. A large number of unemployed were present and care- fully followed the proceedings hop- ing for enough work to be provided to keep the wolf from the door for a considerable period. The real réason for the apparent lack of in- terest in providing work on any large scale appeared to be the fact that all committees except the Police Committee have over 'run this esti- mate for the year with the Roads and Streets Committee leading with some $292 over its estimate.

R, Morrison was treated in the same manner, Mrs, J. A. Tait gave notice to the council that she would claim payment of doctor's accounts in connection with an accident in which she was hurt when she tripped on a broken sidewalk, This was referred to the Globe Indemmity Company, with whom the town carries liability ine surance. The sidewalk west - of Trinity Church will be repaired in the near future when an understanding as to payment is made between the town and the Board of the Church. With relation to the harbour re- pairs for which the town has peti~ tioned the Federal Government, two letters were read, one {rom the Minister of Public Works stating that an engineer would be sent to Bowmanville to make an inspection and report, and another from Fred W. Bowen, Durham County's repre- sentatives at Ottawa stating that he hag taken the matter up with the Public Works department.

Welcome notice was received from the Managers of the McGill Estate that the town had been sent a check for $2718.60 as a further payment as their share of the profits on the McGill Building in Washington, D.C.

An-endeavour is being fhade to get the Federal Government to pay the bill as he is really not an indig- ent of Bowmanville, The Finance Committee presented its report and recommended pay- ment of soe $2052 which was adopted. / The Police Committee recommend- ed that the applicant from Dr. W F, Ward, Police Magistrate who is on six months leave of absence, that He be paid his salary in full during this period, was refused. He will be paid however up until Octo- ber 1st. Councillor Strike also a member of the legal profession stood staunchly beside his brother barris- ter and made a plea for the pay- ment of at least three months salary as Mr. Ward's illness which neces- sitated his absence was due to war service and as he had a family to keep, The council however were not in sympathy with Councillor Strike"s motion and it fell by the wayside, Reeve Carruthers, chairman of the Roads and Streets Committee) in stating the situation concerning kdo- ing any more work on his depart- ment this year made the statement that his department had already exceeded their estimates by some $292. However council granted him a supplementary sum of $800 to go ahead with, Mrs. Vanstone of King street who has several times in the past few years petitioned the couneil for a sewer to her home has at last been successful but only when she had decided to pay the entire cost of the installation herself, Deputy Reeve Rehder gave notice that nothing further could be done concerning the water tank equalizer at this meeting as the committee had to abide by the recommendations of the Fire Underwriters, A vote of thanks was moved to F, F. Morris for his kindly offer to furnish at no expense to the town the new rest room at the Bowman- ville Cemetery. Two plates will adorn the posts of the gates recently installed at the Cemetery and these will be inscribed with the legend," MeGill Memorial Gates, 1930 "as a memorial to Mr. McGill who left Bowmanville his property in Washington, Councillor W. Ross Strike was ap- pointed counsel for the town in the hearings of the appeal from the new equalized assessment for the United Counties which will be heard in Co- bourg before Judge L. V. O'Connor in the near future, At the last meeting of the council it was decided to get a new style of lamp standard for the Main street with a view of increasing the effec- tiveness of the lighting system and yet burning less electricity. An in- vestigation showed that the town did not own the light standards and that they were the property of the Hydro, thus making it necessary to co-operate in the matter, Four dif- ferent types now used in street light- ing will be tried out at the four corners and the council will select the most suitable and tha Hydro wil! then make an estimate of the cost of installation to the town. Other small items of business, in- cluding work at the cemetery, and the purchase of the flats as a part of the projected Rotary Park, were included in the evening's business and a few more important items are + ment in Oshawa.
