Traffic has become much heavi- er on the highways, it was reported today, and by the inclinations shown by the weather, Spring is not far off Whether March bounded in like a lion or whether it meekly came in like a lamb, it is hard to say.

Under the heading "Great Year in Store For This City" the article gives a total of $7,000,000 as the forecast for this year's building, and goes on to say; "Houses and apartments erected last year provided for B00 new families. Yet hundreds are still commuting to Oshawa from Toronto, Bowmanville and Whitby, These are yet to be provided for and houses built to take care of at least a thousand new families that are expected to come to Oshawa before the end of the year," "Business district expansion will also swell the year's total, according to observers. Several new blocks of stores are being planned and it is believed that this development will gather record-breaking headway before summer." "Oshawa's growth is making the problem of transit service acute. It is understood that a prominent Eastern Ontario Motor Bus operator may ask for a franchise from the city at an early date." "The incoming City Council will probably be asked to authorize the greatest program of street paving in the city's history. Nothing official is forthcoming in this re. gard, but the laying of an industrial four miles of pavement during 1928 is considered an imperative necessity by busi. ness men." "A new hotel, a third theatre, office buildings and the location of two new banks in Oshawa this year are among 1928's major possibilities." These extracts, as well as many more we might quote from the same and other sources, paint a colorful word picture of the great new that is coming.
