EUGENE LANG WAS ROTARY SPEAKER (Continued from page 1) gave some of his impressions of a tour of properties operated by Mr. Lang's company, and said that Osh- awa would be fortunate to have the Utilities Power and Light Corpora- tion establish a plant here. Mayor Ernie Marks introduced the speaker of the day, outlining his position as the chief engineer- ing adviser of the Utilities Power and Light Corporation, and stress- ing the importance of the gas plant yy-laws to the city. 1In opening his address, Mr. Lang said that the public utilities com- mission and city council had seen fit to recommend to the people of Oshawa the proposals made by Ben, E. Tate, representing the Utilities Power and Light Corporation, and that doubtless the people of Osh- awa were interested in knowing all about the corporation and what fit proposed to do. The Utilities Power and Light Corporation, he said, was no new- comer to Canada, and he outlined its operations in operating gas, elec- tricity and tramway services in Moncton, N.B., and an electric sys- tem at Amherst and other munieci- palities in Nova Scotia, through Canadian companies. The holdings of the corpoxation in Great Britain, he said, were valued at over $50,- 000,000, and served over 400 towns and cities with electricity in Eng- land and Wales. It was true the main properties were in fifteen of the states of the United States but it was an International corporation, {with shareholders in all parts of ¥ (the world. The Utilities Power and 'Light Corporation, he been operating for over 15 years i said, had and now owned and rroned perties valued at over $500,000,- 000. During the current year, the Canadiaft and United States com- panies would be spending over $14,. 000,000 for materials alone for their various operations, and this did not include the costs of labor, Able to Carry On "I am citing these facts," said Mr. Lang, "to dispel any dobut there may be as to the ability of the company to carry out the pro- visions by which it is required to spend at least $1,000,000 on the lo- cal system within one year from April 1, 1931." While the Utilities Power and Light Corporation was a holding company, said Mr. Lang, it operated through operating companies, which had their own officers and boards of directors, with the common or voting stock held by the parent company. It was the policy of the U.P. and L. to shape the policies of the holding company to suit the community in which the operating company was giving service, and make it a co-partner of the com- munity it served. Staff of Experts "Our corporation maintains a staff of experts," said Mr. Lang, trained in the utility business, to work out the engineering problems of the operating companies, just as the engineers of the Hydro-Elec- tric Power Commission of Ontario are in the habit of doing for the municipalities, But the H.E.P.C. has not this service to offer to gas plants as it has to electrical utili- ties. If the by-laws carry, it will be very little time before we have a staff of engineers here to study needs of the system, and very soon we should be able to start construf- tion work to put the system in a condition to adequately serve the community. "Your local gas utility," continu- ed Mr. Lang, 'is not an attractive proposition for anyone. I doubt if it could earn sufficient returns on the present price and the amount necessary to put it in condition for some years to come. But it is not only this that interests us. It is due to my own knowledge of the rovince of Ontario. I was not anadian born, but my father was born in what was then the town ot Berlin, and Ontario has been my homing-ground, so I have great faith in the future of this part of the province. '"The plan we have in mind is to make Oshawa the centre of a gas distribution system stretching from Whitby as far east as Belleville and extending back several miles from the lake. This can only be accom- plished with the co-operation of the adjoining communities and the con- struction of a new and modern gas- making plant. Your harbor facill- ties are ideal for the location of a by-product coking plant. There are other places with harbors which would like to have it, but that is out of the question, because we are definitely committed to build our coking plant in Oshawa. © We have the plans and specifications ready, and have secured estimates on this plant, and you may rest assvred that {f the by-laws are carried ft will only be a short time before it is established hera, rates, there are some who think the rates should he. lower," said Mr. Lang.

"Regarding the question of gas | ers, and this can only be done when the volume of consumption is in- creased. We propose to muke a strong effort to sell gas for industri- al purposes, and we cannot hope to do this at the rates set in the by- law, It is an economic problem, and to get this business it will be neces- sary to bring the price down to compete With other fuels. If we can increase gas consumption by this means, then we get domestic gas prices down to a lower figure than we have fixed. Regarding the criticism that the gas would compete with the muni- cipally owned electric system, Mr. Lang pointed out that the electric system was handicapped by having to pay for its power on the basis of the peak load between 11.30 a.m. and 12.30 p.m., daily, the load caused by cooking with electric ranges. "It is costing Oshawa $30, 000 each year to reserve this power for your peak load use, and you do not secure sufficient revenue from it to meet this extra expense, That peak load is detrimental to your electric system in Oshawa, and if we can reduce it by the use of gas, we will be helping you. There is no other place in which gas can dis- place electricity, so our success de- pends on how good salesmen we are and how quickly we can get the price of gas down." In closing, Mr. Lang expressed the hope that the bylaws would reccive favorable consideration, from the voters on Saturday. John Stacey John Stacey, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, ex- pressed the conviction that the com- mission, in accepting the proposals of Mr. Tate, had secured the best bargain it was possible to get. Thorough investigations had been made, and the commission was also convineed that the company was well able to carry out all it under- took to do. In reaching its decision, the commissfon had to take into consideration the fact that the pre- sent plant was obsolete, that fit would take a considerable amount to renew it, and then it would pro- hably go in the hole farther than ever. Mr, Stacey. gaid he was satis- fied that the whole gas business of the country was undergoing a change, and that it was necessary to handle gas systems in a large way. In this connection, Oshawa was fortunate in belng chosen as the location for the coking plant which would have to be built to supply the large system intended, and Mr. Stacey stated his intention of using every effort to ensure the bylaws beinz carried on Saturday, since if the bylaws were defeated, the eoking plant would probably be located elsewhere.

Mason, member of the Osh. | awa Public Utilitie Commission assured Reeve Jackson thot all the | information a abl2 world be| placed before the peorta of Whithy when the proper time came, The question of selling the Oshawa gas plant, he sald, had been carefully congidered, and after much consid- eration, the commission had con- cluded that the only thing to do was to accept the proposals offered. In the month of January, 1931, he said, the gas system had lost $1,800 and it was impossible to operate it in its present state at a profit. Mr. Mason stressed the fact that the prospective purchasers were fin- anclally and physically capable of handling the deal, since they not only had ample finances, but were also actual plant operators. He also pointed out that tha HvArn-Electric Power Commission had the bew electrical engineers in the world to help the municipalities, but made no such provision for gas plants. The value of a coking plant in re- ducing the cost of fuel ti the citi- zens was also pointed out, and Mr. Mason urged that no citizen take a selfish view of the question since if would result in a considerable saving in the cost of living for th citizens of the community, ! "We recommend for your approv- al all three bylaws," he said, "be- cause if one is defeated all are de- feated." Warden Ross, reeve of East Whit- by, spoke briefly, said that since East Whitby was a close neighbour of Oshawa, what was a good thing for the city was good for the town- ship. The vote of thanks, proposed hy M. McIntyre Hood, brought an in- teresting and instructive meeting to a close. BETTER ON MACHINES London, March 17.--~A woman is not altogether suitable to be a bank manager, but women are more satisfactory than men on the modern machines used in banks." This opinion was given to the Roy- al Commission on the Civil Service by Frederick Hyde, General Man- ager of the Midland Bank, which employs 2,000 women out of a to- tal of 11,000 of its clerical staff. "Women retire 10 years earlier than men," said Mr. Hyde, "be- cause they become a little difficult to manage as they get older. We discovered that when we had a few women as managers during the war there was a good deal of re- luctance by customers to discuss business with them." he Great Britain has a new political party, which is to be known as the "New Party" Saskatchewan has a new party, too.

Evans, president of the college, and D. W. Beau- bier, M.P., being present. Besides, the Mayor, President of the Board of Trade, H. L. McNeil, and the president of the college have had an interview with Hon. R. A. Hoey, Minister of Education, in an endeavor to obtain the Manitoba Government's assistance in keep- ing the college open, It has been proposed that the Provincial Covernment should make a grant of $12,500 annually for five years, that Brandon city should grant a similar amount on a vote of the ratepayers, and that a syndicate which has offered to help, should guarantee $22,600, thus providing a total of $47,000 a year--regarded as sufficient to keep the college going. The Minis- ter of Education has promised that the Government will seriously con- sider the matter of helping the col- lege out of its presedt difficulties. Brandon college dates back to 1899, when the Baptist Conven- tion took over Brandon Academy, a private high school that haa been opened in 1890 by Dr. 8. J. McKee. In the following year, the college was {incorporated with a board of 21 directors, and in 1901 a handsome new brick building of four storeys, 100 feet in length and 70 in depth, was opened. This, with the addition of Clark Hall, a residence for women students and the first unit of a projected science | buflding, forms the college as it stands today. Shortly after incorporation, a department of arts was organized and later a department of music and expression. In 1910, the col- lege was affiliated with the Mc- Master university and'became a junior college with power to con- fer degrees. As the years passed, the demand for high school and matriculation courses decreased, and there was a great increase in the demand for university courses, until today the great majority of the students are taking the arts courses and small classes in Grade IT and matriculation are all left of the high school programme. Though the college by the Baptist church it is non- sectarian, There are almost 200 studnets at the college and the staff num- bers 21, of whom nine are Wwo- men. For many years the college was maintained by the Baptist church. AN ERRONEOUS IDEA Durban, South Africa, March 17. --South Africa seems to have an erroneous idea as to just what the matriculation course means, ace cording to Dr. C. T. Loram, sup- erintendent of Education, Natal, who emphasizes the point that {it Is not, and never has been, in- tended to be vocational, as so many people think, The matricula- tion course, Dr. Loram stated re- cently, was primarily intended to sift out those students who were fit for a university examination, and it was a great pity that South Africa had come to regard it as a secondary schools leaving certifi- cate examination.
