On September 13, 1759, the British forces dis- embarked at what is now known as Wolfe's Cove, to capture Quebec.

This new traffic link, which is being completed by the company at a cost of some $2,000,000, will eliminate the present journey through Que- bec's terminals and materially shorten the running time from the ship's side to all important Cana- dian and American centres. concrete Suay.wail, 4,300 feet in length, with 40 feet of water at low tide, will provide perthing apace for the new giantess and her sister "White Empresses'", and five rail- way tracks, converging into one at the end of the wharl and thence turning into the new tunnel, will serve to transfer the bosom of the A | their respective destinations. embarkation will be effected through a two-storey shed, with leading down to the trains.

One of the reasons why the public utilities commission and city council decided to sell the plant was the necessity of making large capital ex penditures immediately. The pur chaser also realizes this necessity, and incorporated in the agreement | a clause by which he agrees to spend not less than $100,000 in the improve- ment and development of the gas plant and distribution system within one year of April 1, 1931, at the rate of not less than £25000 every tl Further the purchaser that in the provement, d velopment and extension of the tem he shall at all times and for all purposes when obtainable, This is worthy of con sideration under present condition in Oshawa since it means more em ployment for the working men of the city at a tite en it is greatly And it should he noted that t, while it not less | : loes not tie the purchater down to spending | that amount only, but leaves him free to «pend as he may see fit in excess of that amount, Coking Plant for Oshawa One of the important parts of the agreement is that the purchaser con- templates the establishment and erection of a coking plant within the city limits of Oshawa, when the time has arrived for such a development In this agreement lies the founda- tion for another new and important industry for Oshawa. The funda mental prosperity of a community i« | the importation and distribution of new capital within that community This is provided for by the proposed establishment of a coking plant, and, Iree agrees employ Oshawa labor must he Looking Qut of the Window What a comfort it is to look out of the window during a severe storm and realize that even then you are not cut off from the world about you in case of neces. sity or emergency.

Nec apen | pre contin 1 ent, of course, on the purchase new payroll and pay- Negotiating for Site frions have already been ir a site for this coking plant being sanctioned by the voters, and other negotiations have been opened swith. the Hon. Hugh A. Stewart, minister of public works, for suitable dredging and dock 'facilities, with a «| minimum of 300 feet of wharfage tg accommodate large vessels. Engin. cers: of the department of public works have already visited the site, and have made a preliminary report to the minister in reference to this application. So 'not only will the coking plant provide new capital and employment, but the provision of the necessary facilities will provide for further harbor development, and for more employment in the con- struction of such facilities, Addition to Tax Roll At the present time, on account of the gas plant and distribution sys. tem being owned by the municipality, it is not assessable for taxation. Un- der the agreement, the assessment chargeable against the plant and sys- tem to the purchaser is to be fixed at $84,000 for a period of ten years. It is the usual practice, when an en- terprise of this character enters a city, to grant a fixed assessment for a period of years, to permit of de- velopment, The amount which is fixed in this instance, $84,000, has been adopted as fair and reasonable to the purchaser and the city, It repr new t, a new source of revenue paid into the city treasury to help relieve the burden on the taxpayers. At the present tax rate, the revenue from this assess. ment will mean a minimum of a quarter of a mill on the dollar, Thus instead of being a liability, the plant immediately becomes an asset to the city, paving taxes of a substantial amount into the treasury, in accord- ance with the tax rate as fixed from year to year. The fixed assessment, however, applies only to the gencral rates, and not to school taxes, whi shall be based on the regular assess- ment on the whole property, includ- ing all additions, extensions and im- provements, nor to local improve- ment rates, which shall be paid by the purchaser at the same rate as any other property-owner, This fixed assessment, it is interesting to note, is the equivalent to the taxable value of eighty-four working men's homes assessed at $1,000 each, and will bring as much revenue as these to the city, Future Development The ancstion of the future develop- ment of the plant is an important one. There is a vast difference be- tween an electrical utility and a gas utility, Production and transmis- sion of clectricity are standardized and methods are changing but little. These might well be regarded as staple, and a municipality can own its electrical distribution utility know- ing that it will not become obsolete on account of new methods of gen- eration and transmission, In tlic gas business, however, it is different, Large gas companies maintain staffs of research workers, who are constantly employed in the study of new methods of gas produc- tion and new outlets for gas con- sumption, This is made possible be- cause large concerns, like the Utili- ties, Light and Power Corporation, which owns and maintains many gas utilities in Great Britain, Canada and now owned by the city, United States, maintain laboratories Women's Dresses : New Styles, New Colors, Sizes 14 to 46 Smart, seasonable Dresses, of good quality Celan- ese Flat Crepe and printed fabrics. in stock, Come early for a good choice. 95 '3. THE ARCADE & Misses Everyone new and rescarch workers. A municipa- lity like Oshawa cannot maintain such facilities and must, of necessity, face the danger of having its plant become obsolete at any time, and ready for the scrap-heap. Munici palities cannot afford to keep pace with changes, new discoveries and new methods which are being intro- duced by modern science, The city of Oshawa might establish a plant which would be obsolete in ten years time. This brings an element of haz- ard into the gas business which does not exist in an electrical utility, and the ratepayers must be prepared to accept these hazards if they wish to retain the gas plant and distribution system. A large corporation, how ever, with -ample financial and rec search resources at its disposal, can constantly keep up with the march of scientific progress, and can pro- vide the city with all the latest de- velopments which make the gas industry of greater ser vice to its consumers, H.E.P.C. Not Gas Utility In the electrical department, public utilities commission assistance of all the technical knows ledge and experience of the Hydro- Electric Power Commission, In the gas department, however, there is no such recourse to expert knowledge without engaging high-priced ex- perts. The Hydro-Electric Power Commission engineers are not gas en- gineers and experts, and it would be impossible for the Oshawa commis- sion to maintain its own ecngincers and technical advisers for a small local unit. This, however, is quite possible for a large corporation which the is the are produced to | is operating hundreds of units, These facts being apparent, there is no principle of public ownership at stake, The city will undoubtedly continue to own its electrical utility as a municipal enterprise, and in a profitable way. It is adapted to such ownership. But in a gas utility, sub ject to changes and fluctuations in accordance with scientific discoveries, there is not the same standardiza- tion nor specialization, and for this reason a gas utility does not lend it- self so casily to development as public or municipal enterprise, (To be continued in Tomorrow's Article) Catarrhal Deafness May Be Overcome It you have catarrhal deafness or head nolses, go to your drug. gist und get 1 oz. of Parmint (double strength) and'add to it 3% pint of hot water and a little sugar.
