E. Bowman in his inaugural address 5 at the statutory meeting of the Coun- eil on Monday. I'his policy, was heartily endorsed by the mayor's col- leagues on the Board, together with some suggestions for effective work for the good of the town and com- munity during the year. Mayor Bow- man suggested that owing to the fact that the town had a considerable de- ficit from last year to take care of this year, the question of grants should be carefully gone into, and all expenditures closely scruitinized. Daily Times The abolition of town hall rental re- bates and the placing of the hall on a self sustaining basis was advocated. Inter-City Luncheon Mayor Bowman urged that the | Town of Whitby should cultivate the spirit of friendship and good will be- tween the- town and neighboring municipalities. In this connection His Worship was pleased to note that arrangements are under way by the Chamber of Commerce for an in- ter-city luncheon, to which Oshawa officials are to be invited. Whitby, he stated, should work hand in hand with rural and urban municipalities. The mayor suggested that the har- bor question as investigated recently by the Minister of public works, should be followed up. Whitby had much to gain trom having a good harbor for large lake vessels, and lakeside industrial sites. The question of tax arrears was also touched on briefly, as was also the matter of curtailing expenditures as far as possible in order that the deficit may be taken care of and the tax rate kept as low as possible. Ev- ery committee was urged to keep within its estimates. - In closing the mayor expressed the hope that harmony would prevail, and that every member of Council would enjoy his work. His worship pledged co-operation with each mem- ber, and stated that he would only be too pleased to work with one and all for the good of the old town of Whitby. Following the mayor's address brief speeches were made by every mem- ber of Countil, and by ex-reeve J. M. Kenny. The councillors endorsed the mayor's suggestions and promis- ed to co-operate with him'in carry- ing them out. All pledged their best service to the ratepayers. Opened With Prayer | The meeting was opened with de- | votional exercises conducted by the Rev. A. L. Richards, B.D., pastor of the United Church, who read an ap- priate passage of scripture and in- voked divine guidance of the Coun- | cillors in their deliberations. Rev. Mr. Richards was tendered a | hearty vote of thanks by the council for his kindness. In reply the min- | ister wished the councillors every | success' during what he believed would be a most trying year, express- | should be | some | he would therefore carry on for ing the hope that conditions would soon right themselves and that the year 1931 would be a very happy one for the people of Whitby. COMMITTEES OF TOWN COUNCIL THE SAME AS IN 1930 Large Year's Oranization Is Intact--Auditors Are Appointed There is to be no change from last year in the standing committees of the Town Council. At the inaugural meeting on Monday this course was decided upon. Council endorsed a motion introduced by Coun. W. M. Pringle that in view of the fact that the same Council was elected by ac- clamation to serve this year, the saige committees as functioned in 1930 be retained. Mr. Pringle opined thas this might be the wish of the people who had placed their confid- ence in last years' administration by a return to power without a contest, and he feit that the town's interests would be well served if the same committees were retained. Mr. Prin- gle's motion was seconded by Reeve Jackson. The Committees The committees are as follows, the first named in each case being chair- man: Finance--W. M. Pringle, F. T. Rowe, James H, Ormiston. Town Property--F., T. Rowe, F. Landon, W. M. Pringle, . Fire and Light--Robert Reid, J. H. Ormiston, Fred Landon. Streets--W. * J. Davidson, F. T. Rowe, Robert Reid. Relief--Fred Landon, Robert Reid, W. J. Davidson. Application--James W. M. Pringle, W. J. Davidson. Councillor Landon, who was 1930 chairman of relief, told Council that inasmuch as he had ser ved in this capacity for one year, it given to another man. [He did not think that he should be ask- ed to take this committee the second year in succession. However, after considergtion, he had decided to comply witlf Council's' wishes and an- H. Ormiston, the the other year The council commended Mr. Lan- don on his spirit of sportsmanship. It was agreed that the relief chairman- ship was a difficult one and not the most desirable. Mr. Landon was as- sured by the mayor and reeve of ev- ery assistance in carrying out his du- ties. Mayor Bowman 'made a sugestion, which, found favor with Council, that the chairman of relief advertise that he will be at the town offices be- tween nine and ten every Saturday norning to deal with relief applica- tions for the following week. It was telt that if this was done the chair- man would not be bothered with peo- ple going to his place of business every day in the week, and at all hours. J Coun, Ormiston, chairman of the Committee on Applications, introduc- ed a bylaw to appoint auditors to au- dit the books of the Town treasurer, Board of Education, Public Utility Commission and Public Library Board for 1930. W. M. Jermyn znd C. A. Freeman of Whitby were up- pointed, It was decided to hold regular meetings of council on the first and third Monday evenings of each month, Bowmanville Daily Times Representatives Phone No. 53 BOWMANVILLE 1S FACING INCREASE INITS TAX RATE Higher Counties' ment Will Causes Raise of Four or Five Mills Urging that be the watchword of 'the 1931 Town Council Mayor Milton J. Elliott delivered his Inaugural address to the members of the council last evening, "We are faced with an unusual year," he stated, "and are also faced with unusual expendi- tures among them being the pay- ment for the relief work now un- der way and that which was under way before the close of 1930, The new county assessment will also be the means of Increasing the amount payable to the Counties Countjes by about $10,000, which would mean an increase of. four or five mills on the economy | year." The mayor also. considered a reassessment of town property necessary as many houses were as- sessed much too high while many others were assessed ridiculously low, He hoped for changeg at the cemetery whereby this department would be placed on a paying basis | instead of losing money each year and he also expressed the hope that householders who have not the . | C.P.R. Assess. ceeded with tax rate this { further sum sanitary conveniences in thelr homes when the sewer dnd water passes by should be made to instal them. He announced that most of the relief money obtained from the government had been spent and that it will probably be necessary to ask for a further grant. He ex- pected to see government works, such as the straightening of the bridge and a méw building at the Boys' Training School, pro- before very long to supply labor for some of the 142 men now on the roll as unemploy- ed in the town. In closing he again urged the council to watch every dollar to see that it is spent wise- ly and while practicing economy to not do it to the detriment of the town. Council in Brief Communication was read from the good roads association asking the town to send delegates to this association's convention in March. referred to next meeting. Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and the Muskoka Hos- pital for Consumptives asked for grants. Referred to Fiifince Com- mittee with power to act. The re- port of the fire chief was read and adopted, Announcement was made that a of $1,313 had been received by the town of Bowman- ville as its share of the profits on the McGill Building in Washington. Councillor Lockhart presented a report showing what had been done up to date to provide work for the unemployed. In his report he announced that the unemployed had grown from 61 in the early | winter to 142 at the present time Most of these had been given work at some time and he was making an endeavour to distribute the work as evenly as possible. He moved that a special .com- mittee consisting of the Relief Committee and the Finance Com- mittee be appointed to consider ways and means of relieving un- employment conditions in the town. Bylaws were passed providing for the borrowing of $75,000 to meet current expenditures, ap- pointing Dr. G. C. Bonnycastle again to the High School Board, and appointing Rev. J. W. Bunner to the Board of Health and Chief S. Venton, Sanitary Inspector. Reeve Carruthers reported on the advisability of collecting taxes twice a year instead of the once now in vogue, This will probably be taken up later in the year as it is too late to do it this year now. A. H. Bickle was appointed weed inspector of the town without sal- ary. Councillors LocRbart, Nelles, and Martyn were appointed a com- mittee to act in conjunction with the Rotary. Club with regard to Rosary Park. Council adjourned teen. at nine-fif- ST. JOHN'S Y.P.A.

JUNIORS PLAY IN | PORT HOPE TONIGHT | Bowmanville Juniors will play | in Port Hope tonight in the veturn | game with the Junior Ontarios. Bowmanville beat them last wéek by a score of 3 to 2 after ten minutes overtime and it should be a good game tonight. Many are going down with the boys to cheer them on and more and more in- terest is being taken in this team which is proving to be one of the smartestyyin the past few years, LAKEVIEW GARDENS BRIDGE IS AGAIN UNDER DISCUSSION (Continued from page 1) deal with the question, and he believ- ed his motion would saye time. Ald. Hyman made his maiden speech as an alderman, expressing his opinjon that it was only proper that this gnatter should be referred to the board of works. Right of Way Needed This view was supported by Ald. S. Jackson, chairman of the board of works, who termed Ald. Waterous' motion a toolish one. The first es- sential, he said, was to get a right] of way to build the bridge. "It is foolish having this question come up month after month," he said. "We cannot do anything till we get the deeds to the right of way." Ald. Edmund Jackson thought the special committee should be apponi- ed to go ahead and bring in a satis- factory report. The reports in the past had not been satisfactory, and he believed that the people concerned would the necessary deeds. Wants To Be Sure Ald. Morris opened with the re- mark, "We have started off in a lovely way." In all fairness to the board of works, he said, this matter should be referred to it, to see if it could bring in an intelligent report, because up to the present there had never been one, He was not prepar- ¢d to vote any of the city's money to build the bridge unless there were definite assurance that it would be al- lowed to stay there. "Let us get the documents signed and sealed," he * and then if the council sees fit we can Spend the money that is nec- essary." \ld. Boddy remarked that since | the bridge would have to be built un- | der the jurisdiction of the board of works, that was the proper body to leal with the whole question. Motion Withdrawn Ald. Waterous said he was willing to withdraw in favor of the amend- ment. "I am willing to do anything said, to get this thing started he said. "I don't care how it is hart'ed, het the people down in Lakeview Gardens | need something, so let the board of' works or a commit , down ari bring in a report of \ .nething defin- ite. I will be satisfied iff we can get action." The motion was then withdrawn and the matter allowed to go to the board of works for an investigation and report. LOCAL A.0.F.
