REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON Claim County Burdened With Highway Taxation; Committee Investigates County Council Debates Question of Government Taxa- + tion for Ex-Provincial Highways in Ontario County-- Claim Extensive Mileage, Greater Than 'in Other Counties, Is a Burden on the Taxpayers--Ask Govern- men to Assume Atherley Bridge (By Whitby Staff Writer) A special committee to investi- gate the whole question of Provin- cial highways as it effects the Coun- ty of Ontario, was hamed at the County Council in. Whitby Friday by Warden James Read. The com- 'mittee, composing ReeVe Jackson, Whitby; John Ross, East Whitby; @. L. Middleton, Pickering; Johu J. Morris, Rama, and W. E, Um- phrey, Brock. The committee was , instructed to report at this session if possible. The apointment of such a' com- mittee. was suggested, hy Reeve + Jackson, Whitby, following a decis- jon by council not to:adopt for the present a resolution introduced by Reeve Middleton, of Pickering, and seconded by Reeve Owen Davies, of Uxbridge Township, asking that the Provincial government be asked to pass special legislation to relieve t County, on account of its ex- tehsive provincial highway mileage, om paying the 20 per cent, cost, so that the government take over therley bridge. The resolution was as follows: "That whereas the extreme length of the County of On- tario, and also the close proximity of same to the industrial eity of | Torontq, creates a greater mileage of provincial highway within our | through it. borders then in other counties in the Province of Ontario, that the cost of construction and mainten- ance has become a hegvy burden on the ratepayers of our county, be it resolved that a deputation of mem- bers from Council, together with our county road superintendent, meet the honorable minister of highways at an early date to ask him to have legislation passed at the next session of Parliament to relieve the county of the payment of 20 per cent, of the cost on provin- cial highways, and also ask the De- partment to assume the Atherley bridge." With the decision of Council that a special committee be named to study this problem, the resolution was withdrawn, No Special Legislation Reeve Jackson, while not opposed to any move which might benefit the county, agreed that Ontario County could not expect to obtain special legislation from the govern- ment, He thought that this mat- ter was so important that it re- quired further consideration. Ward- en James Read stated that there was not another county in the pro- vince harder hit than Ontario witn two provincial highways running Mr, Chapman, Picker- | Farm For Sale One mile north of Thornton's Corners Recently occupied by Would consider selling land and barn separate from house Also consider exchange on City Property BRADLEY BROS. Sole Agent 29 Simcoe St. S. | ing, did not think that the govern- ment could legislate for the special benefit of any county. He suggest- ed that the county ask Tor a special grant in view of its peculiar posi- tion, He thought that the Depart- ment would consider such a request favorably. Mr. Middleton, sponsor of the res- olution, said that during a conver. sation recently with the minister of - Se SS highways, thee latter admitted that Ontario County was very hard hit on account of the extensive provin- cial highway mileage, and gave the impression that the County might look for some form of relief, Might Be Bankrupt Mr. Christie Reach, opined that if the government did not quit building paved highways the county would be bankrupt. The debenture debt was being increased at the rate of $100,000 while only about $20,000 was being paid off. It would take 30 years to pay off the present debt. Reeve Jackson, Whitby, did not agree with Mr, Christie. The coun- ty was assessed for $25,000,000 while the debenture debt was only a little over half a million. For every dollar spent on good roads by the government the county recely- ed $5.00 back in value. It it were poseible, he would like to see every road in the county paved at a twenty per cent. cost to the county. Mr. Jackson said that the Town of Whithy"s debenture debt was more than the county's but the Town con- sidered it good business for it had received value for every dollar ex- pended for water sawer light, shoals ete. Where would the county be if it had to revert back to the old order of things? The county would be overburdened with taxes, and people would be in the mire all the time on the roads with the county facing damage bills, He would like to see the government take over more roads. In his opinion, there was no danger of county bankruptcy even if the debt was increased more each year, because the county was getting better roads and more value for it money, Owen Davies, Uxbridge Township, thought it unfair that the county should be assessed for 50 per cent. of the cost of the pavement from Manchester to Port Perry. Reeve Jackson, Whitby, pointed out that the county the year before the pavement was laid expended $3,160 on this road, and got only mud holes back. It was good busi- ness for the county to pay 60 per cent. of the pavement cost, It was one of the best jobs done by the council. for many years. Adam Dobson, Cannington, stated that the county paid as much for gravelling the road as would take care of de- béntures on the pavement. It was hard to keep up a gravel road where trafic was heavy, Reeve Jackson, Whitby, thought it unfair that Oshawa should only he paying 25 per cent. on 9 miles of suburban road around the city while Whitby was paying large sums annually for good road from which it received no direct benefit, Oshawa and other cities' contribu- tions to county good roads should be increased he thought. The special committee went into session on Friday afternoon, Radio communications in Siam have increased nearly 600 per cent since 1928.

LEVEL GROSSING OF GPR AT RAGLAN HAY BE ABOLISHED County Council Votes to Make Application--Pey Part of Cost (By Whitby Staff Writer) After a lengthy discussion on Friday evening the County Coun- ci] sitting at Whitby adopted an amendment to a report of the County Roads Committee, spon- sored by Reeve Jackson, Whitby, that application be made by the Board of Rallway Commissioners and the C.P.R. for a high level crossing at Raglan, on County Road No. 2, East Whitby, to elimi- nate a dangerous level crossing at which it was contended, several deaths have occurred. The cost, estimatde at $35,000 by the County Road Superintendent, would be divided as follows: Dominion Grade Crossing Fund, 40 per cent, Provincial Department of High- ways, 30 per cent ; and the C.P.R. and County of Ontario 15 per cent, each. The gounty's share would be $5.250, There was considerable opposi- tion to this amendment, chiefly on the ground that the county's share would increase the County tax rate next year, a move which was not considered advisable in view of present high taxation and industrial depression. Supporters of the amendment argued that the County should adopt the policy of eliminating one level crossing a year; that it was the County's duty to protect as far as possible the public from death and accidgnts at an admittedly dangerous crossing, and that the work if proceeded with at once, would 'give employment to men at a time when work is scarce, Some members of Council, ad- vocated that it would be better to cut down on road estimates for a eu In the various muniel- ) es than to t y Snot dent. rm down the teeve John Ross, of Eas n by, strongly advocated the a tion of the crossing in question as = = he will appreciate your PHOTOGRAPH » Especially if it be one of those "living" '"'breath- ing" likenesses, for which our studio have become renowned, UR photographs are more than just portraits -- they reveal too, the very personality of the sub- ject. ...That is why Campbell's Studio Limited, long ago became Oshawa's recognized masters of portraiture "+...Make arrangements NOW for your Christmas photographs.

Bowmanville Over Two Hundred Couples Attend Dazzling Social Functions at Newcastle Newcastle Nov. 21.--Under a canopy of varied colored beloous, in a ballroom draped with a score of Uunion Jacks, over two hundred couples danced to the music of Stanley St. John's orchestra at the second Annual Durham Regimental Ball in Newcastle's magnificent Community Hall on Friday night, Hardly would it have been possible to have found a more fitting sett- ing for a ball of this kind than the community hall and certainly it would have been impossible to have accomodated the guests on a smaller dance floor, As one stood in the foyer when the guests began to arrive it might have been at a fashion show, Dril. Hantly gowned ladies accompanied by very correctly clad gentlemen passed by in an almost never end- ing stream. Every gown was dif- ferent and every one seemed a mas- terpiece of the designers are spec- fally made for {ts wearer. Con- trasting with the shaded gowns of the ladies were the brilliant uni. forms of the officers of the regiment the scarlet of the regimental bard and the khaki of the door atten- dants. Officers of the Regiment recelv- ed at the door of the ballroom which was brilliantly lighted for the occasion with colored spot lights sending their searching rays across the perfect dance floor. At the north end of the ballroom were seated the members of the Regi- mental Band who struck up with the Well known air "John Peel," and the dance then commenced. Led by the officer commanding the regi- ment, Lt. Col. P, H. Job, the guests paraded slowly around the ballroom as if in review. It was a brilliant spectacle and one seldom seen in this district. Following the supper dance sup- per was served in the basement where four long tables, each seating about a hundred, were laid out with decorations with the red, white and blue as the motif. The ball was a magnificent suec- cess and reflects the greatest credit on the committee in charge of the arrangements, The committee was composed of Major Wilbur J. Hoar, chairman, Captain A. H. Bounsall and- Lieutenant 8, Stewart. The Honorary Colonel of the Regiment, the Hon, Vincent Massey, was pat- ron 'of the ball but was unable to attend. Among the prominent mili- tary men noticed on the floor were, General W. B. Anderson, General Officer Commanding Military Dis- trict No. 3, of Kingston, Col. Job, of Oshawa, Col. Earchman, of Brighton, and Col. R, J, Gill, G.0.C, of the 9th Brigade. Officers of the Durham Regiment present were, Lt. Col. T. H. Jobb, Major W. J, Hoar, Major A, V. Thorne, Major B. 8.

ATTEND AWARDING OF FOOTBALL CUP Local Club Are Guests As George W. James Presents Cup to Solina Members of the Bowmanville Soccer Football Club were the guests of the Solina Club on Thursday evening last when the Darlington Football Asoclation held a social evening at Solina Hall for the purpese of presenting the Cup to Solina, winners of the league fop Oshawa No 12, was equally as dangerous, but the Department of Highways had not built an overhead bridge there, notwithstanding the very beavy traffic passing over it. Why then should the County advocate the elimination of a crossing on a county road, he asked. Asked to address Council, Coun- ty Eogineer D. J. Kean, strongly favored this crossing being elimi- nated, The cost to the County was small, whereas the benefit to the public would be great, Mr Kean .| sald that some of the preliminary work could be done this winter providing employment. Reeve Middleton, of Pickering, did not wish to see the County tax rate increased next year, His municipality would be willing to forego its road work of next year if the crossing was to be proceed- ed with, rather than increase the tax rate.

Everyone, he said, had entered the campaign with almost unbelievable enthusiasm and the result had more than exceeded fhe most optimistic expectations, Tt was a splendid demonstration of what could be done when the heart of the people of Oshawa was touched as it had been by the appeal, and he expressed the deepest thanks to every person who had taken part in the campaign in any way.

"The Associ- ated Welfare Societies will now be able to go ahead with the work planned, and this splendid fund, free- ly given by the citizens, will make it possible for our organization to do a much-needed work for the relief of distress in the city. We are all more grateful than we can express for the magnificent response which has been made, and which proves that the people of Oshawa are ever sympathetic to those of their fel- low citizens who are in need. Our board will be meeting next week, at which time a formal expression of our thanks to the service clubs and oiner workers, and to the citizens as a whole, will be passed, I can assure the people of Oshawa that the officers of the Associated Welfare Society, the Family Welfare Board, thie Christmas.
