STEWART (Continued from page 1) indicate that Oshawa might expect favorable consideration from the government at the next session of parliament for at least part of its program. " Inspection of Harbor The Hon. Mr. Stewart, who came to Oshawa on the. invitation of Dr, T. E Kaiser, former member of par- liament for the federal riding of On- tario, arrived in the city about eleven yelock on Saturday forenoon, after having visited Whitby and made an inspection of the harbor there, Ac- companied by Dr. Kaiser, Mayor Mitchell, B. J. McCormick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, G. W. McLaughlin, F. L. Mason, City En- gineer, W. C. Smith, and Alderman fart, Boddy and Knox, he made a thorough inspection of the harbor. The situation at the harbor was a most opportune one for such a visit, for practically every available foot of wharf space is at present filled with coal, to such an extent that, although there are four more cargoes of coal to arrive this season, there is no available space off which to unload it, Needs Explained B. J. McCormick, industrial com- missioner and secretary 'of the Chamber of Commerce, during the tour of inspection, explained the sali- ent features of the ultimate harbor development, showed the necessity of a new pier on the west side of the harbor entrance, and the need of about 1,000 feet of additional wharf- age space for the loading and unload- ing of vessels, Col. McCormick also explained the coal situation, saying that Oshawa used about 60,000. of soft coal each year, and that while only 12,000 tons, or one-fifth of the requirements, had been landed, so far, the available wharf space was already completely taken up. : Mr. Stewart was greatly impressed with his tour of inspection, and re- marked on the beautiful location, and on the soundness of the plan for ul- timate development. Commenting on the figures given him by Col. Mc- Cormick, he said, "Where you can show results like that you justify ex- penditures. This is a real develop- ment, and your plan shows great pos- sibilities. : Dr. Kaiser's Appeal While dt the harbor, Dr. Kaiser also 'made a strong appeal to the minis- ter, pointing "to the heavy tonnage of the materials required in the indus- tries of Oshawa. "In the last five years," said Dr. Kaiser, "the tonnage of freight coming into Oshawa has been greater than that of all the citics between Toronto and Mon- treal put together. In three months, we have handled more freight than these other harbors have handled in two years. And Oshawa stands fifth in the Dominion of Canada for the amount of customs sent to Oshawa every year. Yet we have been neg- lected by governments in the past, and have not been given the consid- eration we ought to have had" The Luncheon The luncheon party which assem- bled at the Hotel Genosha was com- posed of members of the city council, directors of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, and a number of promin- ent industrialists and business men of the city. Mayor T. B. Mitchell occupied the chair, and at the close of an enjoyable repast and a toast to The King, he lost no time in bring- ing. forward the main subject for dis- cussion, © He exterided to the Hon. Hugh A. Stewart a warm welcome as the first member of the new federal cabinet to visit the city of Oshawa, The city of Oshawa, he said, felt that it had a just claim on any govern- ment at Ottawa, He doubted if there were many cities in the pro- vince of Ontario which contributed as much to the coffers of the Domin- jon as the city of Oshawa, and he did not think it was out of place to say that Oshawa had been sadly neg- lected so far as the governments at | TIME TABLE | CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS Effective September 2th, 1930 (Standard Time) Daily, except Sunday.

Mayor Mitchell extended a welcome, also to the visitors from Whitby, who included Mayor Ed. Bowman, Reeve Albert Jackson, Councillor Rowe and Councillor Ormiston. wr» ick' B. J. McCormick, secretary of the Chamber of 'Commerce and industrial commissioner, was called upon to pre- sent 'the case for the city, "This is an age of miniature things," he said. "We have pee-wee golé courses, miniature automobiles, and Oshawa is showing how modern it is by hav- ing a 'Tom Thumb harbor." Col. Mc- Cormick related the steps taken by the city officials to have the hagbor put to use as soon as it was com- pleted, saying that the city took pos- session without authority or permis- sion and put the harbor to work, Us- ing the policy that competition was good for business, it had been pos- sible to secure competition between package freight companies and coal companies, and this had brought a great volume of traffic to the harbor. "You have given us 300 feet of wharfage, and since August, we have had applications from bona-fide ship- pers for 1200 feet of wharf space. The 300 feet of wharf has been used to one hundred per cent of its capa- city," he said, and he cited figures to show that in August 15 vessels had handled 253 tons of freight, in Sep- tember 14 vessels had handled 449 tons and in October 18 vessels had handled 11,556 tons of freight. At present, he said, the wharves were completely filled up with coal, and there were still four boats anxious to come in, but there was no place at which to unload them, Five Times Too Small "We point to that record with pride," said Col. McCormick, and we challenge any other young harbor on the great lakes to produce a like re- cord in three months. The harbor is just five times too small, Oshawa consumes 60,000 tons of soft coal a year. We now have 12,000 tons, or one-fifth of our requirements, landed, and every space is filled. We have 300 feet of wharfage, and we need 1500 feet, and our harbor basin is just five times too small, Oshawa is the third largest shipper in the province of Ontario, Toronto being first and Hamilton second, We have an as- surance that steel is to be shipped into Oshawa by water next year, It would have come in this fall, but we had no apparatus for unloading. This is to be provided in the spring, an we will have 20,000 tons of steel com- ing in, if you will give us a work- ing wharf, We now have a deal on with two companies to ship in by wa- ter 24,000 tons of core and foundry sand, but we have no space to un- | What the | load this sand this fall. Oshawa harbor needs," he said, in conclusion, "is 100 feet more wharf, a new pier and lighthouse, and a new and adequate warehouse 'for our pack- age freight trade" | Cormick, - and remarked F. L. Mason F. L. Mason emphasized the mean- ing of the figures quoted by Col. Mec- that they were conservative figures, which caused Mr. Stewart to reply, "Then they are good figures." The question involved, said Mr. Mason, was what was the best thing to do in the interest of the whole of Canada, He visualized the deep wa- terway on the St. Lawrence provid- ing more profitable outlets for the agricultural and industrial districts surrounding Oshawa, if proper har- bor facilities were provided here. "1 believe," said Mr. Mason, "that it is the sincere desire of the busincss men of Oshawa and district to have something done for the harbor in the immediate future. We would ask for a substantial appropriation in the next estimates to enable the city and district to enjoy some of the privi- leges which other cities enjoy at pre- sent through water transportation." Dr. T. E. Kaiser Dr. Kaiser, in introducing the Hon, Mr. Stewart to the gathering, said there were three problems he wished to place before the minister, The first, he said, was with reference to the government paying its share of the cost of the sidewalk in front of the post office, remarking, in jocular vein, that this item was causing the city treasurer much anxiety. Secondly, Dr. Kaiser said he wished to request that the harbor at Whitby, regarded as one of the finest harbors of refuge on Lake Ontario, be com- pleted, This project, he said, would not take a great deal of money, and it would provide a harbor which would be very easily accessible to crippled vessels in storms. The Oshawa harbor, said Dr. Kai- ser, was more than a local harbor. It served the Dominion of Canada more than it did the constituency in which it was located, and in the in- terests of Canada, the city required transportation facilities equal to the demands, The whole area surround- ing Oshawa, he said, would benefit directly from a proper harbor at Oshawa. The contribution made by the city to the federal treasury alone, he said, justified the expenditure, for Oshawa sent to Ottawa every month as much money as would be required to complete the harbor, Asks $500,000 "We are asking for half a million dollars to be spent on the Oshawa harber," asserted Dr, Kaiser, "We realize that when we ask you for that amount, we must make out a case larger than that of the needs of a particular constituency. So we are planning an "On with the Harbor" campaign to back up and justify the parliament of Canada. in meeting our demands. I warn the minister hat we are going to move forward with this request, to show that it is.justi- fiable, and that it will be money well spent; and will give adequate returns on the investment, fos we have shown you that Oshawa can make more use of a harbor 'than all the other lake ports between Toronto and Montreal put together. : Hon. Mr. Stewart In opening his address, the Ion, Mr, Stewart expressed his sincere ap- preciation of the hospitality and the warm reception tendered to him, "You are meeting here," he said, "In the discharge of what vou con- ceive to be your duty, I am here in that same spirit and in none other."

Stuart and child- advocacy, while a member of parlia- ment, of the claims and requirements of the city of Oshawa. He had re- ceived many requests to visit places all over Canada to inspect public works, but the first request had come from Dr, Kaiser, and so Oshawa was one of the first cities to be visited. Water transportation, he said, was a many places, particularly the mari- time provinces, were very insistent in their demands for improvements, Oshawa in Earnest "You have fairly and properly pre- sented the claims of your port," said ! Mr, Stewart, "1 am impressed with the fact that you are in earnest. | { do not believe you would ask for the | { expenditure of public money simply | for the sake of having it spent in this | constituency, as is the motive in some cases. I am convinced you believe in the merits of your position. I am | convinced that the results achieved in so short a time have justified the expenditure of public money spent on tHis port in the past. That is en- couraging. Not only are you in ear- nest in believing that the expenditure of money is justified, but you have shown your faith by spending your own money in promoting develop- ment around the harbor to build an area that will furnish traffic to jus- tify further expenditures of public money. "I am not here to make promises. A public man must be careful, and must consider the requirements of the country as a whole, When reve- nues are abundant, there is more money available for public works, and when revenues are down, there must be a shrinkage in the amount for such works. But I am sure the Cana- dian people have confidence in the future, and are people of great cour- age, and will justify the spending of money when and where necessary. Expresses Hope "Therefore I join you in expressing the hope that these two harbors of Whitby and.Oshawa will receive fair and favorable consideration at the hands of the government, As far as I am concerned you have impressed me with the need, the necessity and the desirability of the action which should be taken. That is as far as 1 can go. I can go back to Ot- tawa, view and study the plans, and understand them better than if I had not been here today. All I can say is ~carry on, do the best you can, and we will do our best to help you." Mr, Stewart's speech was greeted with the utmost enthusiasm by the gathering, which gave prolonged ap- plause as he resumed his seat, Mayor Bowman, of Whitby, in a brief address, thanked the minister for his visit to Whitby, and expressed the hope that its claims would be given consideration. George W. Mc- Laughlin also spoke briefly, stressing the value of the harbor to the future development of the city, and thank- ing the minister most sincerely for his undertaking to give consideration to the claims which had been out be- fore him. R. S. McLaughlin, Gordon D. Con- anteand F, W, Cowan also delivered brief addresses, in which they stressed the splendid spirit of team- work and co-operation which was animating all classes of citizens in their desire to promote the growth and development of the city of Osh- awa, and the harmony which existed between its public bodies in their de- sire to see the harbor project go ahead.
