CEDARDALE FOLK WILL BENEFIT IF GAS PLANT SOLD (Continued from page 1) of great value to Oshawa and the ultimate establishment of a coking plant here, to sc-ve a wide territory to the cast, the west and the north, would be an important factor in this city's industrial growth. The citizens could not afford to vote against the sale of the plant, he said. Commissioner George C. Allclin supported the contentions of His Worship and pointed out the thor- ough-going study which the utilities commission had made of the whole subject. Opposition to the bylaws, on the ground that they authorized the sale of the gas plant to an American con- cern, was expressed hv Eddie Mc- Donald. Other propositions, he said, | had been submitted to the public util- ities commission and he did not see why the system could not be taken over by a Canadian or British firm, If a coking plant were to be establi- shed, he was convinced that the com- Dany would produce a great amount of gasclite and if under foreign con- he feared it would be a great menace in time of war. "fl am for anything one hundred per cent. British," Mr, McDonald concluded. Mr. McDonald's statement re the production of gasoline was corrected by Commissioner Allchin who pointed out that this was a relatively small byproduct and could not be manu- factured in commercial quantities.

L. Mason, who was chairman of the P. U. last year. called this a wonderful utility at one time," he stated, "But I certainly never have reierred to the gas plant as a wond- erful utility, Last year we lost $600 on its operation. In that same year the profits for the hydro departme; nt totalled $67,000 and people ask why Someone says that we WHITBY TOWNSHIP COUNGILLORS CUT we could not use some of this mopev | to improve the gas plant, but it is bevond our power to transfer re venues from ome devartment to the other. There are auditors checking tu on us all the time." Mr. much cred- ence to Eddie McDonald's contention Mason didnt give concerning the produetion of gasoline "Germany has spent large sums ( menting on ts and has found th-' gasoline produced from coke is wot a commercial proposition," The speaker admitted that a Mr. Yates had talked with the public ut- ihties commission about the gas busi- ness here but that beyoud submitting a usciul and interesting document on the value of a gas plant to a muni- cipality, he had placed no concrete proposition before the comfnission. there were others who had ap proached the commission but none had made a clear cut offer compar- ed with that submitted b- Ben 'late. f'rue, he said, a Mr. Milner, repre- senting a Toronto bond concern, had proposed to buy the plant, but want- ed to capitalize it by selling stock to local citizens, Over capitalization of an utility was costing one muni- cipality thousands of dollars and Osh- awa did not wish a similar experience. A picture of the development which is planned by the Utilities, Power and Light Corperation was painted by the speaker, 'I'he establishment ot a coking plant at the harbor, and the attraction thereby of other indus- tries, would be a great boon to this city, 'there were wonderful possib ilitics mmvolved, he said. He was con- vinced that aiter giving the question thorough consideration, the ratépay- ers would vote in favor of all three bylaws on March 21. Ald. Wm. Boddy Confidence in the considered opin- wi of the public utilities commission, was placed by Ald. Wm. Boddy, who believed that the sale of the plint would have a favorable effect upon the future prosperity of this city. Lhe city could ill aftord to spend suilicient money to place the plant on a paying basis especially in view of the fact that the debenture debt is already two high and it may be necessary to erect a new sewage disposal plant in the near future. Ald, Jackson, a member for Cedar- dle ward, also stated that he was m favor of the proposed sale. Cedardale ward will undoubted! benefit if the gas plant is sold, in the opinion of Ald. J. B. Waterous, also a member for Cedardale ward. "The company, he said, had secured an option on land at the * arbor and pro- posed ta establish the coking plant there. This would mean an import- ant development for Cedardale and would probably enhance propeity va'ues in the ward, A~~reciation on behalf of the rate- payers' association for the addresses which had been given was conveyed by Ald. Caunt to the various speak- ers, THEIR SALARIES Will Receive $15 Less This Year as Economy Measure.

Our young eople gave the program and the Zion people put on a splendid luncheon for the visitors which was thoroughly enjoyed. Why not interchange more meetings of this kind, as it has a real fellow feel- ing and will do no small amount of good to all concerned? Several of our young skaters at- tended the Whitby rink last Sat- urday night and enjoyed them- selves immensely. We were sorry to read in The Gazette paper last week that chicken thieves has come into the Mt. Zion settlement and bagged up their game, This seems to us to be the smallest kind of plunder on earth and should be stopped of business by very severe punish- ment. : We had the most severe storm of the season here Saturday night and Sunday, More snow fell than any time this winter, As far as we know there was no preaching service here last Sabbath owing to the weather conditions, One week from Sunday, March 22nd will be the annual W.
