THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1930 ?AGE THREE Public Utilities Commission Favors Sale of Gas Plant Here Definite Plans For Office Building Ordered by Local Utilities Board Last Night C. C. Stenhouse Retained as Architect and Tenders Will Be Called Soon After Plans Have been Com- pleted APPROVAL GIVEN BY ONTARIO HEP.C No Debentures Will Be Issued, and City's Debt Will Not Be Increased One Cent--Will Mean Much in More Efficient Opera- tion Definite plans for the conmstruc- tion of an office build»; were or- dered last night by the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission at {ts regular meeting. C. C. Stenhouse of this city has been retained as architect, and it is expected that as soon as the plans and specifications are completed, tenders will be call- The matter had been laid over at the last meeting of the commission, until approval of the plans was ou- tained from the Ontario Hydro- Electric Power Commission. This approval having been obtained, the local commission proceeded last night to take definite action to- wards the construction of a buila- ing. The building will be approxima- tely 50 by 75 feet in size, two sto- ries high with basement, and econ- structed of brick with artificial ste rim. It is to 'e erected on a coruer lot at coe and Met- calfe streets, being secured from the city. While the original estimate of the cost was $60,000, it was stat- ed last night by Chairman F. L. Mason that it may be possible to construct the building for as low as $40,000, According to members of the commission, some objection has been raised by ratepayers to doing this work at this time, and it was pointed out at the meeting last night that the work will not in- crease the civic debt one cent. No debentures will be issued to pay for the cost, and thus the city's dehen- ture debt will not be increased. It will be paid for out of the commis- gion's current funds. The reason "i was 'being constructed, was to ' consolidate the offices of the com- mission under one roof. They are now scattered in various parts of the city, and the commission is pay- ing rents, the saving of which will meet a considerable portion of the cost of the new building. It is con- sidered that it is a real investment and will mean a considerable sav- ing in efficient operation of the var- jous public utilities in the city.

In carrying out this plan the Legion will co-operate with the Christmas | Cheer Fund of the City which has given considerable consideration to this phase of Christmas activities. A large number of the members of the Legion expressed their willing- ness to volunteer for service for | this occasion, and a special com- | | mittee composed of Comrades (iladman, Jamieson, Childerhouse, | Carter, Kelly, Thomas aud Schem- ern as Superintendent of its In- dustrial Branch in Oshawa.

GANG FIGHTING ON RITSON ROAD ENDS IN POLICE COURT "Holdup Men of Tomor- row," Chief Friend Says of Youths The story of a gang of boys, de- scribed by Chief Friend as the hold- up men of tomorrow, was aired this morning in police court when Stan- ley Rogers, aged 17 of Verdun Road appeared before Magistrate T K. Creighton on a charge of assault arising out of a little trouble out- side the home of Herman Hall, on Ritson Road, According to the evidence a num- ber of boys were making a noise outside this home on the night of | November 15 about eleven o'clock. Hall had come out and told the boys to leave and had later come ott again and had evidently said something that raised the ire of the boys. Hall is alleged to have taken a pass at a brother of the accused and the latter had then engaged in a fistic tussle with Hall in which Hall had received two black eyes and a swollen face while the boy had only received a torn shirt. The Magistrate, in dismissing the ~harge, in view of the pass made by Hall, gave the whole gang a warn- ing as to their future conduct. "boys of your age," he said, "should be home znd in bed long before 11 o'clock. It is scrapes like this that lead te the police court in later life," his worship added, 'and if vou appear before me again on a charge of this nature you will not Le treated go leniently." Chief of Police Friend added a note of warning when he statea that these boys were members of a gang which was causing consider- able trouble in that section of the city. "Our men are trying to break up this gang," the Chief added, "for it is gangs of this type that are the hold up gangs of tomorrow." Alex Hall, local lawyer, who was in the court had compassion on the ac- cused who was not at first repre- sented and with the permission of the crown he took over the defense which brought dismissal of the case.

Greatest care will be tak. en to ensure that only bona-fide residents of Oshawa are included in the scheme, as otherwise there might be an influx of men from outside points. Further negotia- tions are to be carried on with the Christmas Cheer Fund officers with a view to completing the de- tails which will be worked out by the Legion's' committee. The meeting last night was a splendidly attended one, and five new membership applications were received. Comrade A. H. Power, secretary, reported that further contributions had increased the total of the Poppy Fund campaign to £1,056, which was considered to be very satisfactory. The financial statement of the treasurer was al. | and show- in so highly satisfactory, ed the branch finances to be a very 'healthy state.

TRUSTEE BOARD APPOINTED FOR NEW LEGION HALL Veterans Accept Generous Raglan Offer of City Council to Purchase Site At the regular meeting of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion last night, a resolution was passed unanimously accepting the generous offer made by the City Councll to provide the Legion with a sum of $2,000 for the purchase of a Jot on Centre St., opposite the Masonic Temple, for the purpose of building a Legion Hall, The chair- man, M. Mcintyre Hood, outlined the present position of the Hall proposition, and a board of trus- tees, composed of D. M. Douglas, A. H. 'Power, and M. Mcintyro Hood was appointed to act for the Legion in taking over the proper- ty, and making the necessary agreement with the city as to the terms on which it shall be held for the use of the Legion. A resolu- tion was also passed authorizing Comrade T. K. Creighton, second vice-president of the branch, to undertake tho -necessary legal for- malities in connection with the property. The property on which the Le- gion Hall is to be built measures fifty feet in width, with a depth of elghty-two and a half feet, and it is proposed to build a hall forty- five by seventy-five feet, which would have a seating capacity of approximately four hundred. This has been made necessary by the phenomenal growth of the mem- bership of the branch, wlhich now stands around four hundred, and with steady additions being made at each meeting.

OUTLINES BENEFIT ' OF SERVICE CLUBS TOA COMMUNITY | | I~ -- Kinsmen's Club Banquet | and Smoker One of the most enjoyable cven- | ings which the Oshawa Kinsmen's Club has experienced since its in- | ception, took the form of an ban- | quet and smoker which was held in the private dining hall of the Hotel Genosha, last night. Almost all members of the club were pre- sent, together with a number of guests, and all joined heartily in the spirit of the occasion. After dining on the sumptuous and well cooked fare which was spread be- fore them, pipes, cigarettes and cigars were called forth and as the fragrant smoke curled upward dull care was forgotten in the keen enjoyment of good fellowship, mu- sic and song. As President Leon Osler was un- avoidably detained, vice-president T. I. Wilson acted in his place and extended a cordial welcome to the guests of the evening. He also expressed appreciation for those who were assisting in the program. Benefit of Service Clubs The splendid and altogether worthwhile part which service clubs can play in the life of a com- munity was ably outlined by Gray- don M. Goodfellow, managing di- rector of the Mundy-Goodfellow Printing Company, who was speak- er for the evening. Pointing to the success of the drive for the Community Welfare fund, Mr. Goodellow expressed the belief that the efforts of the city's ser- vice clubs, accumulated through past years, played a large part in the generous response with which the appeal was received. Through the activities and work of these organizations he was convinced that the people of Oshawa had been educated to believe that they had a real responsibility to those less fortunate than themselves. The speaker took occasion to congratulate the Kinsmen's Club for the work which it has accomp- lished sinte its organization and for the future progress which it has made. He was certain that a bright future lay before it. A vote of thanks for Mr, Goodfellow's fine address was moved by Kinsman Alex White and was seconded by hearty applause. Much ldughter was occasioned by an amusing comedy talk given hv. Dr. Grant Berry on a French- Canadian's trip to Boston, where the naive woodsman was much startled by the sights of the big city. A baritone solo hy George Walsh was also greatly enjoyed. The club was fortunate in hav- ing as its guest last night Bert Johnston, the well known magi- cian, who nrovided a fine enter. tainment with hig amazing tricks of magic and sleight-of-hand. Interesting pictures mfwypetaoin Interesting motion pictures of a trip via Cunard Lines from New York city to England and return were shown to the club by Mr. Beasley, representing the Cunard Linos and Mr. Forrester, repre- senting the C.N.R.

North Oshawa, The agreement has already been signed by the East Whitby officials, and now becomes operative, The agreement provides for mains on 'Simcoe street to 166 feet north of Jones avenue, then on Jones avenue, Carnegie avenue and Hortop street, The township pays the cost of laying the mains, and guarantees the payment of all accounts from township residents. The rate to be charged the township residents, under the agree- ment, is at no time to be greater than double the rate for similar services in the city. Work has already started on laying these mains, and the North Oshawa residents will soon enjoy city water, | Mitchell. (1. M. G. SALES FOR THREE MONTHS ARE 311,813,249 Business Not Bad, Say En- thusiastic Dynamiters' Club Members Proof of the fact that at least some of the business recession which Canada has experienced gen- erally is entirely psychological, and that a reserve of buying power exists in the country, has been established by the Dynamiters' Club of General Motors of Canada, Limited. The club, composed of salesmen, dealers and service men of General Motors all over Canada, has just brought a spectacular sales cam- paign to a conclusion, and evidence that they succeeded in living up to their motto: "We're Out to Make Business Better," is seen in reports of sales volume rolled up. Between August and Otober 31 the volume of new and used cars sold by the club members reached a total of $11,815,249, This show- ing is considered most remarkable in view of all conditions, but the actual sales made are not looked upon as the greatest achievement of the club. The fact that the Dy- namiters have shown that business is not bad and that they have spread their views widely enough to create a changing outlook, is sidered their most commendable accomplishment, The Dynamiters' organization was started last August and has several thousand members pledged to improve business. Through their efforts they have become widely known in Canada. ---------------- DESIRE CLOSER BONDS OF EMPIRE Irish Free State Wishes Full Friendship With All Dominions Dublin, Nov. 28.--"We desire to establish elore bonds of friendship with all the peoples of the British Commonwealth," said President William T. Cosgrave of the Irish Free State, at a reception tendered to Prime Minister James H. Scullin of Australia. Since the establishment of the Irish Free State they had required a new relationship with Australia, cluded in the films Jub Congratulated Congratulations for the part which the Kinsmen had played in making the drive to raise funds for the Associated Welfare Societ- {es so successful, were conveyed to the club by W. M. Gilbert, cam- paign chairman. Collectively and individually the Kinsmen had done great deal, he said. A feature of the program Was the splendid music provided by an orchestra headed by Sam Collis, who played both the violin and the saxaphone. Other members of the orchestra included Bill Dennis, piano; Arnold Mock, drums; and F, Cox, banjo. A splendid duet, sung in Scot- tish dialect, was contributed by Thos. Young and D, Fowler. The evening was concluded by playing cards. Later the Kinsmen were given the privilege of playing on the Elite Miniature Golf Course ag the guests of the owners, is Made by any to Purchase Local Plant and Franchise Each Mcmber of the Come mission Present at Reg- ular Meeting Voices Ap- proval of Disposal of Business DESIRE COKING PLANT IN OSHAWA Harbor Facilities Here Con- sidered Favorable to Es- tablishment of Plant to Make Coke and Other Products, and Thus Re- duce Price of Gas The Oshawa Public Utilities Com mission is of the unanimous opinion that the local gas plant should be {disposed of if a purchaser could be | secured to buy it on suitable terms. : At the regular meeting of the Commission last night, the chair- man, F. L. Mason, reported that a tentative offer had been made to purchase the gas gystem in this city, and asked an informal expres- sion of the members, all of whom were present except Mayor T, B. Fach in turn stated that | he approved of the principle of sell- ing the tions. It was conceded that the present plant had seMed its best years ot usefulness, andMhat the method em= ployed in making gas was antiquat- ed and expensive. To bring the plant up-to-date would involve an expenditure of $180,000 to $200.- 000, and. he did not consider it ad- visable for the city to spend this amount of money, Chairman Ma- son remarked. On the other hand, if the plant were sold, it should be subject to a franchise definitely fix- ing a maximum price, The opinion was expressed hy Commissioner Stacey, and concur- red in bythe other members of the board, that if possible, any firm taking over the local gas plant should establish a coking plant in Oshawa in connection with it, ana make coke and other by-products in this eity. With the new harbor facilities, it was felt that transpor- tation of coal and coke to and from this city should be an economical matter. Every member of the commission present went on record that the installation of a modern gas plant hare, either by the commission or by private interests, was the only way in which the price of gas could be reduced to a reasonable level. This would be a benefit to both the domestic consumer and the manu- facturer, and might easily be an in- ducement to certain types of new industries, it was stated. RESENT EFFORT T0 LOWER PRICES Economic Party Withdraws Support of German Gov- ernment ant, with certain reserva- Berlin, Nov.' 28.--The eampaign of the Government, headed by Chancellor Bruening, to force down retail prices in conformity with wage reductions has resulted in withdrawal of the Economic Party from the ranks of Government sup- porters. Minister of Justice Johann Bredt, the party's representative in the Bruening Cabinet, resigned. For a while it was rumored that Presi- dent Hindenburg would request Bredt to remain, a rumor, however, which failed to materialize, The Economic Party is composed largely of middle-class tradesmen. From sources close to Chancellor Bruening it was learned that he is determined to push through his financial reform program without resorting to lengthy negotiations, ANCIENT ANIMAL PRESERVED IN ICE Cordova, Alaska, Nov. 27.--W.
