THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1931 PAGE THREE SA aa a . Bnd Company Spends $266,500 in Last Six Months COUNCIL IS CENSURED 'AT SOUTH-WEST WARD RATEPAYERS' MEETING Resolutions Passed Con- demning Method of Building Barn on City Farm, and Payment for Work by Relief Orders OPPOSITION TO COUNCIL CHANGES 'D. A. J. Swanson Strenu- ously Opposes Proposals to Reduce Size of Coun- cil and Have Aldermen Elected by General Vote of City The regular monthly meeting of the South-West Ward Ratepayers Association held last night in Cen- tre Street School was featured by heated discussion on a number of matters of paramount interest to the ratepayers of the city at large. A large number of the members of the association was present, to- gether with quite 2a number of vis- itors from the various ratepayers' associations in the city, all of whom took a great interest in the proceedings. The speaker of the evening was Ex-Alderman D. A. J. Swanson, who in his address sterenuously opposed the by-laws to reduce the number of alder- men and elect the council by gen- eral vote, which will be placed be- fore the electors at the next civic election. Council Censured Two important motions were passed by the members of the As- sociation with regard to the con- duet of the City Council in the last few months, The first of these wag to the effect that the South- West Ward Ratepayers Associa- tion censured the City Council in voting for the building of the barn on the city farm, without calling for tenders for the work. Mr. Clark, president of the as- sociation, who was appointed at the last meeting of the associa- tion in September to look into the type of lumber being used for the construction of a temporary barn and the condition of the walls of the barn that was consumed fin the fire, reported that he had found that No. 1 pine at the rate of $80 per thousand had beep used for sheeting, He said that he had found the walls to be in good rondition for the reconstruction of the barn. It was pointed out however that the contract for the new barn was given to the Pedlar People by the City Council, who, tontrary to promises made early In the year, had let the contract without calling for tenders. It was also pointed out that a econ- siderable part of the new barn 'was coming from a firm in Pres- ton, and that three Preston men were now working on the barn. Members of the association de- plored the faet that outside labor was being employed. Any action with regard to the type of lumber used was left in abeyance for the time being. Relief Payment Attacked The question of the action of the City Counefl in giving one day's pay and two days' pay in groceries to the men working on relief work was discussed at great length and resulted in a resolu- tion being passed asking that the motion establishing such a prac- tice be rescinded at once by the council. This resolution, it was understood, will be sent on to the Central Association, which will present it to council. Ex-Alderman Brown attacked the City Council, in no uncertain manner for {ts action in adopting the policy of giving groceries as two-third payment for the work done on relief measures. He stated, amiq loud applause, that they ought to have their heads read and be out of the city, He asserted that the practice was pauperizing the workingman and gpening the door for his deporta- on as by taking direct relief he was made liable to that, He main- tained that it was an insult to the housewives of the city that they could not be trusted to buy to the best advantage with the money that was brought to them.

Glare affects 'out of order, were cases, he said, where men had been working for a dollar an hour for years and were not now able to buy groceries. It was a de- plorable state of affairs, he assert- ed. AM. Explains . Adon Turty Kirby was ask- ed to give an explanation of how the measure was passed by the council, and explained the meas- ure was drafted by the special committee on relief and brought it to the finance committee. He asserted that the resolution was so worded that he with others took it innocently, and it was not until later that the real meaning contained in it was brought home to him, They were told, he said, that it was to the interest of the taxpayers as they were getting one-third more for the money ex- pended. With regard to the barn on the city farm, Mr. Kirby stated that he understood that local la- bor was to be used, while by giv- ing the ccntract to the Pedlar People it was thought that a home industry would benefit. . D. A. J. Swanson D. A. J. Swanson, in his re- marks, strenuously opposed any change in the distribution of rep- resentatives on the City Council as advocated in the by-laws that will be placed before the electors for their consideration at the civie elections, If a reduction were made, the business of the city would come under the influence of certain interests in the city, in- cluding the local newspaper, he said. He pleaded with the elector to go slow and not make any rash changes at a time such as this, even though there is a de- pression, and despite the fact that the paper in this city is biased. He asked that the voters vote to the hest of their own interests and the interests of the city at large. There was a feeling in the city, Mr. Swanson said, that the next council should be made up of THE WHIT BY subscriptions and Whithy Branch Office at Gasstte and Chronmicle.~Telophone 8.

The majority of the Associations in the Deanery were represented and the Rally was very successful in every way. Churches represented and the number of delegates were: All Saints', Whitby, 26; St. John's, Port Whitby, 16; Christ Church, Oshawa, 11; Port Perry, 10; Unionville, 3; St. Crispin's, Scar- boro Bluffs, Scarboro, 22; Plek- ering, 3; West Hill, Agincourt. Rectors of the churches named were among the delegates. To the A.Y.P.A. of All Saint's, Whitby, went the banner for having the largest attendance, | having 26 out of 30 members! present, This is a much coveted honor, and the Whitby Associa- tion was warmly commended on winning it. The special rally speaker was Rev. A. G. Emmett, of Port Hope, who delivered a timely and in- spiring message. Heroism and gallantry, the visiting rector told the Young People, were not to he associated with those who like the knichts of old went forth to tattle to win the ap- business men. But this was not a good move for a number of rea- matter if a man is a business man, a machinist or a plasterer when 'he asks you to elect him, if he hag the gift of public service?" asked Mr. Swanson. The primary factor to consider wag whether he had the gift of public service, or was going to sit and allow strings to be drawn. If the new measure were brought into force, there was the possibility that ong or two of the members would be from one sec- tion of the city and the others would be from ome district and would have no interest whatever In many cases (he men best fit- ted to serve might be defeated. The speaker feared that with the reduction in the number of mem- bers there might be the possibil- ity of the affairs of the city being run to suit a select few and there was too much of that already. Demands Cash I'ayment With regard to the position ot those men, who had accepted zro- ceries as part payment for their opinion that they were liable to deportation and asked that the members support any motion to pay the men cash In order to maintain for them their own par- ticular pride. Ex-Ald, Carnell Replies Ex-Alderman 8. A. Carnell, who was asked to speak in reply to Mr, Swanson, asserted that with the organization of ratepayers' asso- clations throughout the city there was little to fear from the cen- tring of power in the hands of a few, as the preponderance of pow- er, held by the ratepayers at the polls would alleviate such a condi- tion, He maintained that there was too much waste of time with a large council, such ag was now in power, Too Late to Classify WANTED -- JUNIOR CLERK, male, having shorthand and typewriting.

"What does it | work, Mr, Swanson expressed {lic | nlauge of their fellow men, nor were they to be found in the lives of parasites, men who | sought to get all {life and contributed nothing in return. These characteristies were found in men such as were mentioned in the 11th Chapter of Hebrew, who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, rtuffed the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sworll, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight armies of the aliens, and aecomplished other great things although enduing great hardships, suffering, pri- vations and even death, Rev, Mr, Emmett stressed the value of faith in all walks of life, more particularly in the life of the Christian.

The challenge of the hour, sald the speaker, was for young people to succeed where their elders had failed, and to go forth in faith, and fu Christ's name, to make the world better and ad- vance the cause of Christ by pre- cept and example. Herein was heroism, gallantry, service, per- haps not recognized by the world, but existing in every locality, The opportunities for service were greater in the smaller places, and in the common every day walks of life, Greetings from Board of Religions Education were brought to the rally by Rev. Mr. Scovell, of Agincourt, who commended the work of the A.Y,P.A. and wished the branch- es in this Deanery every success. The rally service was in charge of Rev. E. Ralph Adye, rector of All Saint's, assisted by visiting clergy. After the meeting in the church the local A.Y.P.A, served refresh- ments in the Parish Hall, MANY ENTRIES IN PLOWING MATCH Gather at Claremont on Wednesday The farm of ex-warden G.

BEING DEPORTED The Editor Oshawa Times Dear Sir-- Ex-Mayor T. B. Jiieneivs comments on city re- fef work payments are a little out of order. I have worked on this grading work and speak from. experience, In justice to the City Relief Committee who make these payments it must be said that they make a stipula- tion as to where these tickets should be cashed, with the excep- tion of course of the large chain stores, who are more able to af- ford the loss of business than the small independant grocer. Trusting you will find favor to grant this space jn your paper, I am yours truly, A WORKER. MARKED "DOUBTFUL" To the Editor Oshawa Daily Times Dear Sir--I noticed an article in the Oshawa Times about a man's slip being marked *Doubt- ful" which meant in politics. Everybody may know my hus- band's politics, but they don't know mine as I vote for the man or the jssue, not party. If 1 could be influenced towards any one party it would be the party which in turn considered the man looking for employment, not the party he stood for in politics, The party who shows fair play should count, and who divides the work, not favoring a few men and turning a capable man down, I am only a woman, a property owner in Oshawa, thus have a vote at all elections, If my hus- band can be marked "Not Doubt- ful" I am "Doubtful." In politics, if you count the man and you don't consider the wife behind the husband, who is not influ- enced by her husband's opinion, you don't know where you are at, ONLY A WOMAN, HEAVY POLLING IN GREAT BRITAIN London, Oct. 27.--Heavy poll-} ing was reported from all points in the British general elections ag the day progressed, despite fog and bad weather in London and Some parts of the country.

G. Purvis, for the de- portation of three families living in East Whitby. These families were being deported. Reeve Ross stated, entirely at their own re- qnest,' and not on the initiative of the township. In each case, circumgances had arisen which impelled the head of the family to ask that steps be taken to send them back to the old country, and the township authorities had act- ed on these requests, believing this action to be in the best in- terests of all concerned, COMING EVENTS 8 Cents per word each in. sertion.
