'Ald. Jackson could not state last night whether or not he would | be a candidate for the city council of 1931. ; The city of Oshawa has passed through a difficult period during the last twelve months, Ald. P. A. Mac: | donald, chairman of the finance com- | mittee, declared. The council had | been faced with many problems of a | serlous nature and in his opinion | Mayor Mitchell had given excellent { leadership. Ald. Macdonald was can did In stating that he would be a | candidate for next year's council and | admitted that he was considering y | contesting the mayoralty, Suggests Office Ald, George Hart, chairman of the board of works, added a sincere word of praise to that wich had al ready been said to the credit of Mayor Mitchell. He believed tliat the services of the retiring chief magistrate would be sorely missed by the city. Ald, Hart again confirmed the fact that he was seeking elec- tion to the mayor's chair but said that he would not be worried over the outcome of the election. The need for an office at which the mayor of Oshawa could receive visitors at cer- tain fixed hours was stressed by the speaker, It was a shame that a mayor should be bothered at any hour of the day or the night on tri- vial matters, Another warm tribute to the work of Mayor Mitchell was paid by Ald. Wm. Boddy who also took occasion to praise the civic officials for the service which they have rendered the city during the year, He made no announcement with regard to his candidature, Appreciation for the helpful atti | tude which the council of 1930 adopt: ed toward his department, was ex pressed by Chief of Police Owen D. | Friend. The calibre of Oshawa's citi- zenry was excellent, Chief Friend de- clared, and he pointed out that in spite of the unemployment situation there has been much less' crime in the city than a year ago. Announcement that he would seek a second term as alderman for Ce dardale was made by Ald, J. B. Wa terous, He regretted the retirement of Mr. Mitchell and said that as a 'new member of the council he had been shown every kindness by His Worship. Co-operation between his own de partment and the city council had made his work a pleasure to him, Fire Chief W, E. Elliott stated. He had always found Mayor Mitchell and members of the council most reason | able. ; Over 31; to 4 Ms. .. 5 7] 1 creamery. prints, | . & creamery prints, | 1530, | ™ "I am not going to declare my in tentions concerning the election to night," Ald. Thos. Knox commented He considered that under the leader ship of the mayor the council of 1930 had worked in close harmony together. The friendliness which existed be- tween all departments of the eity was stressed by City Engineer W., C. Smith, who sald that ft made for the more efficient conduct of the city's business, He hoped that the members of the present couneil would offer themselves for re-election next year and while expressing regret for the retirement of the mayor he trust- ed that his services would not entire ly be lost to the city and that he would give the community the bene- fit of his experience and mature Judgment by associating himself with some other public body. f Mayor Mitchell Speaks After acknowledging the many kind things which had been said about him, Mayor Mitchell said that he knew he would greatly miss his work in the council, "Outside of my business interests I am always thinking about the city," he said, "and unless I happen to be reading a paper or book my thoughts are continually reverting jo the affairs of Oshawa, It was one of my ambitions to be elected | | mayor and after many years it has | { been realized, but I do not believe | that any man should hold this office | | for more than two years." M | Briefly and in humorous vein he re | | ferred to the many duties which be | come the lot of the city's chief mag | | istrate, who, whether he wishes it or | not, seems to be at the .beck and | | call of everyone. | | "The year past has been full of | Pleasant associations for me in rela f ten to the city council.

E., Hare who con | sidered that the business of the city had been conducted in a capable man ner in what he believed to have beer | the hardest year in the past twe de | cades. He regretted that Mr, Mitchel | was retiring and expressed the hop: | that members of the council would | seek re-election, "We are still faced with seriour | problems," he commented, "and wc | need experienced men on the coun | } cil." Although some weeks ago he h timated that he would not seek thier term as alderman, Ald. Ia | man said last night that he hac | changed his mind and might run for council again. He, too, was sqry { that Mayor Mitchell was retiring. | Praise for the mayor's leadership | was voiced by Ald, W. J. Sulley. Th« | serious unemployment situation had | been handled very well this year, he | | considered, | Ald. Geo. Gummow had nothing de | finite to announce about his candi: | | dature but joined with other mem-| | bers of the council in praising the | work of the retiring mayor, | Wants Bridge Finished | Ald. Ed. Jackson, who has been | | seriously considering ending his! | lengthy service in the council this year, stated last night that he would | | likely again be a cgpdidate in the | Cedardale ward and would make it] { his aim to see to it that the Lake | | view Gardens bridge was pushed to | | completion, He congratulated Mayor | Mitchell for his success during his | term of" office and also praised the | | yor en | | | | | work of the civic officials. |.

His retirement from the council | was announced by Ald. Robert Me Donald who said that ill health hac) largely determined his aetion, An opinion that all municipalitie | were suffering alike with regard t« difficulties in assessment and the col lection of taxes was ventured by C G. Luke, city assessor, In speaking again Mayor Mitchell sald that two things were most de | sireable in a council member--hon esty and common sense, These two qualities were manifest to a high de gree in the members of the council of 1930, he considered, and he stated that it was the "nicest" council he had ever "sat with, He urged all the members to seek re-election for next year. | Appreciation for the courtesy and | i | ne | the city council and all public ofl cials have extended to the press dur ing the past year wus expressed hy Times editorial staff.

The site which leads to the flats has the making of a real fine pirk and citizens should make note of the improvements already made under the direction of Arthur Bak- er, landscape gardener, This work is being done under the Unemploy- ment Relief Fund grant and is sup- plying a few men with a day or two of work every week. Single men work two days each week, making the sum of $5.60 and mar- ried men work four days each week earning just double that amount, This may be little to live on but with so many out of employment the authorities caunot see any oth- er means of providing work for all. The other work under the reliaf plan is well under way also. Un- der the gupervision of Town Engin- eer, James Kennedy, the excava- tions at the new water tank at Salem are nearly completed. T. E. Flaxman has been awarded the contract at $7,000 for the erection of the concrete tank and work is likely to be started on this in the near future, Work is also pro- ceeding on the renovations at the old Salvation Army citadel which is bleng made over {nto a badmin- club with four courts. This when completed Will also be used as a kind of community hall and periodical dances will be held there. The first of these dances will be given by the Badminton Club on Friday next, January 2 and will be an invitation affair, Advertising, subscriptions News About Town Dutch Tries Out Dutch Osborne, well known local boy who played professional hockey last season with the Bost- on Tigers, left town yesterday for Kitchener, where he will try out with the Kitchener professionals. Dutch has been hard at work get- ting into shape and is sure he can make a place on the team. Any way his fellow townsmen wish hin all the luck up west. No Word Yet No word has yet been received from Mayor Elliott regarding his plans for the future and it is not known whether he will again con- test the mayoralty or not, It is believed that he will have opposi- tion if he dogs. Very few other councillors have as yet stated their intentions and no word ig heard of new candidates entering the field.

He was succeeded by Sir Charles Tupper, 1884-1895, Then ame the long tenure of Lord Strath- ona, which lasted until 1914. Upon the death of Lord Strathcona, Hon, G. H. Perley, then minister without portiolio in the Borden government, ame to London with the intention of remaining here a few months and onducting an inquiry into the state of the high commissioner's office. I'he war broke out soon after his ar- rival and in consequence Sir George Perley, (he was knighted in 1914), remained for eight ears. He for a time overseas minister of mils itia, and towards the close was ap- pointed high commissioner, Hon.

Sir Wilfred Laurier was strongly dispos- ed towards securing the Grand Ho- tel, facing 'Arafalgar Square. Lord Strathcona, though, was unwilling ¢ leave the modest official habitation in Victoria street. The late Earl Grey, it will be remembered, had an ambi- tious idea for the Dominions all to be | established on what is known as th Aldwyich Site, 4 large tract upor which the London County Cour had demolished a lot of unsavor property, Australia did establish it- self here, in a building which is cer- tainly mpressive and is also believed to have proved highly expensive to the commonwealth. After Mr. Lar- kins arrival the lease of the offices in Victoria street were given up and the Canadian High Commissioner es- tablished himself for 12 months in Pall. Mall Jast, Meanwhile Canada secured a Crown lease of the Union Club in Trafalgar Sqdare, This build- mg was originally designed in 1820 by Sir Robert Smirke, It was entire- ly reconditioned and much enlarged on behalf of the Canadian govern ment by Septimus Warwick, and was opened by the King, her Majesty, Queen also attending, in July 192 Although it is exactly h since the first high commi Canada was appointed, one has to back uch further to esiablishment of a « an representative The government tia had an agent-genc Lower Canada in 1812, and Columbia in 1857, Edward Jenk M.P., author of a book "Ginx's Baby in Lon f Nova Sco- which had a great popularity, was the | : : | Antarctic, first representative appointed by the Dominion government. He came here in 1874, and was styled agent-general for Canada. It is interesting to note that the first high c er Galt, was appointed in 1880 Jar because of certain difficulties gard to the transport of settlers, The | Canadian Pacific Railway was then only in the course of construction. Emigrants had to go through the Un ted States, and many of them wer intercepted enroute. Sir Galt was accompanied tp England by J. C. Colmer who was eventually ap- pointed secretary to t high com- nissioner's office. After some years Colmer became a partner in a vell-known firm of London stock- rokers. He is still met at dinners f the Canada Club. He was suc- eded as secretary by W. L. who is now living in retirement Kent. Lucien Pacaud became Sec- | etary on Mr. Larkin's arrival.
