THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1947 SL TSA PTS RT THE DAILY TIMES:GAZETTE . PAGE SEVEN Reynolds 'Wins Court Skirmish Toronto, May y 8--Bernard H. Pick- ard, Toronto agent, was "working for himself, for a big fish using small bait," Mr. Justice Tre- leaven stated in non-jury Assize Court yesterday, as he dismissed the $170,000 breach of contract ac- tion of Pickard against Milton Rey-. nolds, Chicago pen manufacturer. with costs. "I do not believe such an impor- tant contract as mentioned here would have been entered into in such a casual way," he continued stating that, "broadly speaking Pickard hoped to get a contract and went to considerable lengths to get it, but was not able to satisfy the defendant that he could supply the facilities or materials for the manu- facture of the pen in Canada." Pickard had claimed that he had entered into a contract with Rey- nolds to produce the Reynolds pen in Canada at an annual salary of $15,000 and for 25 per cent of the profits of the sales in this country He had added a further $5,000 for expenséds incurred in his prelimin- ary work on the venture and assess- ed his loss of profits at $150,000 on the 25 per cent basis which, he said was in the contract. Develop Harbor (Continued from Page 1) have reason to belleve, that there would be tonnage available before they would spend this huge amount of money on this development. The Chamber of Commerce realiz- ing the possibilities have been working with the City Council to try and interest marine tonnage." Unsightly Spot "The west side of the harbor be- tween the core wall and Simcoe Street, has long been®an unsightly spot. It is too low for industrial purposes being practically at water level and consequently, not easily marketable. However, in discussing this harbor development with oil companies, interest has been created to the point where we now have two new companies willing to locate in this western portion. They . agree to locate their tanks.and to landscape the surroundings, "thus it will not only be a profitable venture for the city but one that will clean up this area." Mr. Garner continued to point out that some might be of the opinion that there would be odor from these tanks. "That is defi- nitely not the case," he said, "and I have Mr. Clancy's, word of the Gulf Coast Oil Refining Company, who represents one of these firms to the effect that the moment that anyone can smell fumes, we be- come suspicious that we have a leak and we most certainly don't want a leak of this precious fuel." "Certainly," said Mr. Garaer, "since this point will not be used for refining purposes of any pnd, ut, simply as a storage base, I c reason in the world 8 Mrs, should be an odors, We want have this whole area cleaned up and turned into a revenue producing project. The point has been raised as to whether highway tankers would be loading on the street side of these tanks. This is not so, the highway tankers will be loading on the wharf side of the tanks. For the benefit of the citizens, I should like to point out that these tanks will in most cases be 65,000 barrel tanks. Think of it--tanks approxi- mately 75 feet in diameter--nicely painted with ground properly landscaped in an area that is now a mudhole and a mosquito nest," he sald. Another Company Possible "It is within the possibilities of the very near future that we may interest another company to locate on the north side of the harbor. If these deals go through, we, in the Chamber of Commerce feel confident that the government will then proceed with the definite development of the harbor. These leases are instrumgnts of worth to us because they mean marine ton- nage. In a letter in The Times- Gazette one night this week, I notfced one citizen suggested put- ting the tanks on the east side of the harbor. This is a good idea, but, we do not own the land on the east side of the harbor and 'there is no road at the present leading down to the east side of the harbor. Consequently, to ac- quire these lands and to build these roads, would take time. Time is important to us since these com- panies may not care to wait for that long a period." After all, the whole of OshAwa Harbor is an in- dustrial area as it is in any city. So let's take the view that it is an Industrial district and as the Chamber of Commerce /we are in- terested in developing it, since the time seems to be ripe to do so. I can assure those citizens who are perhaps thinking of Lakeview Park, that the erection of these oil depots at the harbor will in no way affect Lakeview Park, in fact, it will improve the approach to Lakeview Park as compared to what it is now. Ia fact, I might add, not wishing to be flippant, that anything done at the Oshawa Harbor now would be an improve- ment. . "I believe," said Mr. Garner, "that no stone should be left unturned to take full advantage of the oppor- tunity to develop Oshawa Harbor on all sides while the time is ripe. All this development is certainly in the interests of the city's' industrial development and industrial develop- ment is in the interests of the civic tax department and to our mer- cantile sales and to labor, to say + nothing of the general usefulness . of added industries to the com- munity."

Brazilian Communists Are Outlawed Rio de Janeiro, May 8 (AP) --The Brazilian government cracked down hard on the Communist party to- day, with federal police and troops padlocking 445 Communist clubs or. cells to enforce a decision by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal out- lawing the party in Brazil. The Tribunal approved, by a 3 to 2 vote last night, a government petition asking that the Brazilian Communist party--one of the larg- est in the Western Hemisphere--be declared illegal and closed. In the last election, in January, the party polled about 800,000 votes. It elected 17 deputies and one senator in the federal Congress, 18 members of this capital's 50- member city council, 60 members of various state legislatures and helped to elect the governors of eight Brazilian states. Senator Luis Carlos Prestes, secretary-general of the Brazilian Communist party, cabled all the party's branches immediately after yesterday's decision, ordering them to obey the verdict calmly. He said the decision would be appealed to the Brazilian Supreme Court. But even as the Tribunal's judg- ment was being announced - the Communists suffered another stiff blow. President Eurico Gaspar Dutra suspended the Communist supported Brazil Workers Confed- eration and all labor unions afili- ated with it for a period of six months. The Presidential decree accused the suspended unions of "provoking among the workers frictions and agitations which spread themselves harmfully to production centre, disturbing the workers' output and order." Westmount (Continued from Page 3) made on how to raise money and they were passed on to the commit tee who will meet next week.

Subdivision Plan Approved No opposition was raised to the application for approval of the plan of a new subdivision submitted by C. C, McGibbon. The subdivision borders on the Oshawa Creek south of Rossland Road and to the east of the creek. In the matter of the projection of Beverly Street, it was recom- mended that when the subdivision is laid out on *Beverly Street that the lots on the south 'side of the street be based on a depth of 140 feet. This implies that when, and if Colborne Street is extended from Central Park Boulevard to Cadillac Avenue North, that such extension be in a straight line with the pres- ent street. The Commission rejected the ap- plication of Mrs. Erma Karpovich 645 Burton Road, for permission tc operate a. store on her premises as the application was contrary to the zoning by-law. The same action was taken regarding an application from F. Holbenko for the erection of a shoe repair shop at the north- west corner of Nassau and John Streets. The application of W. H. Conner for permission to erect a modern ballroom on the north side of Rich- * | mond Street, west 'of Church Street was approved. Must Stay Back The Commission ruled that Peter Sabat, who proposed to erect a store at 176 Simcoe Street South, must not build out beyond the sev- en-foot set-back allowed by the zoning by-law, This action was taken in order to protect the street in the event of the need for widen- ing at a later date. Regarding the request of the Board of Trustees of Knox Presby- terian - Church for permission to erect a mission at the corner of Wilson Road North and Rogers Street, the Commission made no recommendation other, than to point out to City Council, which referred the application, the Coun- cil has a regulation prohibiting the sale of land which is not served by sewer or water. The application from Ferdinand Ruff of St. Catharines for permis- sion to locate a garage and service station on the east side of Drew Street, between First and Second Avenues, was refused, The Commission refused to en- tertain an application from M Rodesky for permission to erect a frame tool shed on land west of Wilson Road. It was pointed out that the land was city-owned and had been granted to the applicant for garden purposes only. Another application from Theo- TENTS, Tarpaulins REPAIRED...
