BAR OF JAIL WINDOW SAWN Very elaborate plans for the escape from the County Gaol in Whitby of some thirty prisoners ten of them awaiting trial on serious criminal charges, one being indicted for murder, were frustrated on No- vember 22nd, when Governor Hugh Lucas, found a saw carefully conceal- ed in a military legging worn by a prisoner, John R. Party, of Whitby, awaiting trial on an incest charge, and another saw and a file concealed in the jail bathroom. Governor Lucas also made the startling discovery that a flat bar of a window in the gaol bathroom had been almost sawn through, and that according to the plans revealed to the Governor by a prisoner, an es- cape 'of 28 prisoners had been planned for three o'clock on Thursday morn- ing. At this hour a large car pulled up near the gaol, and gave several sig- nals. Governor Lucas, who was in the gaol corridor, went outside in the hope of getting the car's number, but it was pulling away when he reached the scene. He followed it to the street 'but it had gone beyond recognition. The governor believes that the gaol delivery had been postponed "until Thursda; 'evening or early Friday I as the bar had 'not been cut whereby all but two men, it is said, were to jump from the window in the bathroom after the bars had been sawn. --m----()O-- _ ONTARIO COUNTY COUNCIL The Ontario County Council met last week at Whitby, with Warden Dobson in the chair, A new face on the Council board was that of Allan Lavis, deputy reeve of East Whitby, who was elected to the place of Major R. B. Smith, who resigned, Monday's session was taken up| mostly with reading correspondence "and accounts. The question of the payment of the county's share of the Atherley bridge was again brought before the council. It-is a rare session that the Atherley Bridge does not come up for discus- sion for like "Banco's Ghost" it seems to have become part of every session. The county's share of the total cost amounts to $28,000 anda knotty point of procedure is involved as to whether the county should pay this by issuing debentures as it is understood that the bridge is to be presently taken over by he provincial government as part of the provincial road system, County Clerk Christian was of the opinion that a special session of the council would be necessary to pass the by-law aythorising the issue of debentures. Deputy-Reeve Levis, East Whitby, was appointed to the education com- mittee and the agricultural committee. Ontario County Council will per- sist in endeavouring to have a change made 'in the proposed reforestation agreement whereby the county and thé provinee bear 50 per cent each of the reforestation project now unter way inthe township of Uxbridge and share equally in the ownership of the reforested area it was decided, when the cduncil adopted a report of the reforestation committee. The lands in question consist .of ten thousand acres in the township of Uxbridge which were purchased at the price of $10,000. Under the terms of the proposed agreement the pro- vincial government looks after the re- forestation of this land for a period of thirty years at the end of which time the county can pay the government for the amount it has expended, with- out interest, and assume the full own- ership of the property and the stand of timber or it can bear 50 per cent. of the expenditure and share equally with the province in the ownership of the land and timber. council that under the latter part of the agreement the county would not receive credit for the amount which it had paid for the land ar in other words that the province would share in the ownership of property for which it had contributed nothing. Steps are being taken by the re- forestation committee to get a new agreement with the province. An important resolution was passed by the County Council Friday night, asking the Department of Highways to consider the creation of a pro- vincial highway commencing at Man- chester, and extending to Port Perry, thence across the Scugog and Cart- wright roadway, thence éarterly to the Bowmanville road, thence northerly and easterly past Nestleton Station and Yelverton to intersection with the provincial highway from Port Hope to Peterboro, which it was stressed, would be of great service to the com- munity through which it passes and be an attractive route for tourists: It was pointed out in the resolution that there is a large section of country between the Kingston Highway and the northerly portion of Highway 7, which is not served by any provincial highway. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the clerk of Durham and Northumberland Counties and to Hon. n| GS. Henry, Minister of Highways. It might be noted that this proposed new thoroughfare would greatly re- . Hieve traffic on the Kingston Highway. | The total amount expended on { County Roads: from January 1st to Kot, ors, 356 and B06: It was pointed out in last year's| 'two pleasing anthems, governor learned more of the plans county rceive a partion of this money iraraa | 1969297 Scott 4365.44 2476.76 8686.16 BARA raran rear Renan Seugog ..,... ... Rama . The town of Whitby received the sum of $2,605.42 as fifty per cent. of road tax for 1928, Under by-law the village of Port Perry got $1326.86, and the town 'of Uxbridge the same amount. The total amount for urban roads was $6,253.14. When a by-law to appeal by-law 1046, providing for the taking over by the county on a fifty-fifty basis of the White bridge, 7th concession, Whitby 'township, was introduced, it was vigorously opposed by Reeve Croxall, This by-law was passed in 1923, and the purpose of appealing it was to turn the bridge back to the township. The bridge in question now requires [ to be renewed. If the township re- builds it, the provincial government as | grant for permnanent work will be thirty per-cent. of the total cost. On the other hand, if the county builds it, "there will be no grant as the transfer of the bridge was not approved by the Department, On a vote the by-law was repealed, and now the bridge passes to the township. The Atherley Bridge matter was finally left over until the January session of the Council, A clause in a report of the County Property and Gaol Management Com- mittee presented by chairman J. M. Kenny, recommending that equipment for the new addition to the Registry Office, costing $2,100 be purchased from the Office Specialty Company was objected to by Reeve Forsyth, of Pickering, on the ground that tenders had not been called for. Reeve Kenny explained that the other equipment in the office was standard and was purchased from the Office Specialty Company. It in- cluded a counter worth $1,000, which, if it could not be added to, would have to be discarded: Mr. 'Forsyth's amendment that the Committee secure tenders on the new equipment with power to purchase same, was carried.
