This means no in- crease or decrease from the rate en- forced last year. The estimate for town property was raised from. $1,- 300 to $2000 as it was found that the former amount would hardly cover fixed charges, The council al- so allowed the public utility commis- sion $2,500 for sewer maintenance in- stead of $2,300 as had been previ- ously suggested. The commission contended that it could do for no less as this sum is practically made up of wages. The appropriation for streets will be $5,000 while the town is called upon to pay $63,348.57 for debenture payments. Education comes next with $21,200 required while the third largest amount, $8,- 955.00 is for wages. The motion for the adoption of a 38.75 mill rate was made by Councillor Pringle, second- ed by Councillor Ormiston, and was unanimously passed. The question of the gravel pit, for- merly owned by the provincial gov. ernment and recently purchased by the township was again introduced and the council was informed that it would have to make representa- tion to the township concerning its right to draw gravel from the pit for municipal purposes at a set charge of five cents per cubic yard, Reeve Jackson then introduced a motion, seconded by Councillor Bow- man, that the matter of the gravel pit be referred to the standing com- mittee on streets. It will be the duty of this committee to ascertain the opinion of the town solicitor con- cerning what action the corporation should take to insure its right of drawing gravel, F. L. Beecroft addressed the coun- cil concerning the condition of Pine street and the council promised to look into the mattter, An application from Wm, J, Corner for a line fence was referred to the housing commis- sion and the meeting was adjourned shortly before ten o'clock, All mem- bers of the council were present in- cluding Mayor Bateman, Reeve Jack- son, Deputy Reeve Underwood, Councillors Pringle, Broughton, Or- miston, Mowat, = Threadgold and Bowman, also Town Clerk Frost and Engineer Pringle. WHITBY STARTS STREET CLEANING Pavements on Brock and Dundas Streets Being Cleared of Muck (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 27. -- Street Foreman E. Vanstone had a num- ber of men and a team at work yesterday engaged in cleaning the Brock ad Dundas street pave- ments. These important thor- oughfares are now comparatively free of muck and mud but the con- ditions on other streets are less favorable. Rain and warm weath- er with the frost out of the ground have combined to make them channels of mud, while in certain places ruts are found one and even two feet deep. They form a bane to motorists and in- sure. a rough passage for any wishing to use them. However, with the continuance of normal spring temperatures the situation should rapidly be righted. TRIP 10 WHITBY COSTLY AFFAR Four Oshawa Young Men Contribute $160 in Fines (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar. 27.--A joy ride to Whitby with liquor in their posses- sion proved very expensive enter- tainment to four Oshawa young men who were. arrested by the local po- lice last night and were forced 10 pay fines totalling $160 for 'their in- discretion. The four were first seen on the Ontario Hospital grounds and it is claimed that they were acting in a disorderly manner. Chief Gun- son was informed and he requested Thos. Crouch, the hospital constable to follow them. Packed in a little coupe the celebrators motored up Brock street following, it is said, a zigzag course. Near the town hall they were stopped by the chief and all were arrested while several bot- tles of beer were seized, Later they appeared before Magistrate Willis and all pleaded guilty to the charges against them. Coffey and J. Ragan were cach assessed $20 and costs for being drunk'in a public place, while Joe Torbey, driver and owner of the car, contributed $20 and costs for reckless driving. Gene Downey paid $100 and costs for hav- ing liquor in a place other than a private dwelling, this being the minimum penalty. The beer had been purchased by him on permit but according to the Liquor Control Act no one may have liquor in a car unless he be transporting it to his lawful residence or from one resi- dence to another in the case where a man might have two residences. All avowed that in future they would seek less expensive forms of recrea- | tion. STORM CRIPPLES WHITBY HYDRO Lightning Strikes Transfor. mer in Southern Part of Town (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar, 27.--Lightning strik- ing a transformer on Brock street south crippled the hydro service to the southern part of the town for several hours last night. After an effort on the part of the public utility employees the services were resumed but the Times was informed by Su- perintendant Geo, Every today that high tension troubles developed this morning again disrupting the servi- ces in certain sections, KING WINTER BACK FOR BRIEF VISIT Whitby, March 27.--From spring thunder storm to winter blizzard in twelve hours was the record es- tablished by March 1028 in this dis- trict last night. As a quick change artist this month holds the big club over the remaining eleven and its vagaries cause apprehension to both man-and beast, Folks who went about yesterday with the idea that they were suffering from spring fever are laboring under no such impression today. Overcoats feel by no means heavy and there is no objection to warm footwear.

It would seem that those who wish to save their pets from a similar fate will have to keep them on their own premises. PERSONALS Whitby, Mar. 27. -- Mr. Frank C.

There are six youth- ful songsters with the party, which numbers fifteen, and includ- ing Edwin Brazier and Douglas Bartrip, esteemed as among the finest sole boys to be found in the Old Country. The training of these boys is of such a nature, and extends over such a long period, that they are really experienced professional voe- alists, Most cathedral choirs in Great Britain have no less than fourteen services per week, and of- ten with daily rehearsals, so it is no wonder that such an extraordin- ary pitch of excellence is reached in these young choristers. In the Westnrinster Glee Singers will be found six of these youngsters who, for beauty of voice, artlessness and purity of expression, could not be excelled anywhere in the world, They are reminiscent of a beauti- ful phase of English musical cul- ture, The adult artists include, in ad- dition to Edward Branscombe, the director, Donald Reid, solo alto, »t. Paul's Cathedral; Wilfred Kearton, originally tenor singer at Westmin- ster Abbey, and later receiving the appointment of soloist at St, George's Chapel, Windsor; and oth- er famous vocalists selected from Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Ca- thedral, and other famous cathed- rals of London.

FIFTY UKRAINIANS EXECUTED, WARSAW PRESS DECLARES Berlin, March 26.--Fifty of the Ukraine's intelligentsia have been executed, and scores arrested, in Southern and Central Ukraine, ue- cording to unconfirmed despatches from Warsaw tonight. , National- Ukraine propaganda against the So- viet Government is given as the cause of the activities of 0.G.P.U., aided by Government troops. Among those shot were Profess- or Sftymonowitch and Dr. Chykal- enko, both writers; Dr. Petrenik and Madame Surowcowa, two well- known members of the Socialist party of Ukraine. Warsaw papers fail to give the source of their news, and also state that it has not been confirmed. SAYS WHITBY MUD NOT IN IT WITH OSHAWA (By Stal ) Whitby, March 27--"Talk about your mud in Whitby", stated Dep- uty Reeve Underwood at the Whit- by council meeting last might, "it has nothing on what is to be found on Oshawa streets." The deputy reeve then explained that Monday afternoon he had oc- i lo be motoring through the Motor City im kis sedan when the machine became so mired in mud that he had to employ a team of horses to haul it out. WARNING ISSUED 10 BEWARE OF SHALLPOX HERE Girl Leaves City Who is Alleged to Have the Disease "HELD IN TORONTO That a large number of people in Oshawa and East Whitby town- ship have been exposed to small- pox, is the statement that Dr. F. J. Rundle, M.O.H. for East Whitby, made to The Oshawa Daily Times today. The source of the danger was from a grocery store at 84 Park road south, and all who have entered this store during the past two weeks are to consider them- selves exposed to quarantine, says a notice which is being issued to- day. The disease, says Dr. Dundle, was being spread by a Miss Shaw, a girl clerking in the the store and handling all manner of foodstuffs for human consumption. In fact, she continued her occupation even while the symptoms were plainly visible. The matter came to the attention of the Board of Health of the city and township a day or two ago, and Miss Shaw took a train to Toronto. The health au- thorities of that city were tele. graphed and she was placed unger detention upon her arrival there. It is not known how many peo- ple have been exposed to the di- sease through entering the store and handling groceries which have come from it. The store has heen placed under quarantine, and the co-operation of all citizens who have been in any way exposed is asked by health authorities, so that an epidemic may be prevented as far as possible. All contacts are strongly urged to he vaccinated at once. This will be done either by the family physician or by the Boards of Health of Oshawa and East Whitby township for their re- spective residents, The pupils of Westmount public school were vac- cinated this morning. The rigk of contracting the disease from these footdstuffs is sald by Dr. Rundle to he very great." SEEK CAUSE OF KINKEAD'S DEATH London, March 26, -- Analysis of the blood organs of Flight Lieutenant Kinkead, who was killled during an attempt to make a world's speed record in a Bri- tish seaplane, showed no trace of poisoning by carbon gas or tetroethyl hydroxide from the exhaust of gas or petrol fumes, it was revealed at the resumed inquest today, and a Government pathologist said that he did not think it was possible that Kinkead suffered ill effects from either. The Coroner sought to know whether compressed air in front of Kinkead's seaplane caused the sudden uncontrollable dive, ana adjourned to enable the Air Min- ' istry to determine whether the wreckage showed the cause of the | accident. STRIKERS AND G. M. EXECUTIVE CONFER (Continued from page 1) its capacity, and men were stand- ing in the aisles and in the bal- cony. It was 8 quiet gathering of its kind and the men listened patiently to the speakers. All the speakers exhorted them to remain fast in their demands. The views of the Chevrolet and Pontiac lines, the trimmers, and all other divisions who feel that they are affected by the strike were also given. The ultimatum of the corpora- tion was read to the men, the an- nouncement stating that the com- pany did not wish to incomveni- ence men who had homes and families in the city, and that it would deal individually with the men. Questions were fired at the speakers from every part of the house, and although some of the questioners seemed to think that there was dissatisfaction in other parts of the plant, the meeting decided that they would only pre- sent the demands as a delegation, that they had already outlined. At last night's meeting the sit- uation was reviewed from the out- set, and the trimmers stated their case, and also heard representa- tives of he Chevrolet and Pontiac assembly lines. The wage of the Cheyrolet assembly line met with strong symptoms of disapproval and the men expressed the feeling that if the trimmers took the cut offered, that their wage might be further reduced, in the future. The Employees' Association was thought mot to be im sympathy with the trimmers, as weir de- mands had met with little response from the executives of the Em- ployees' Association. The men stated that they would remain out today, and said that there would be close to two thousand men, who would not ap. ear at their places this morning. With the great profits of General Motors, stated to be $210.000.000 las. year, the men thought that they should be entitled to better wages than they were at present receiving. monoxide | BILL TO PROTECT GAME FISH PASSED Inventory of All Forest Lands to Be Provided For Quebec, Mar. 27.--Disciples of Isaac Walton have been given a last moment present in the shape of a measure which Hon. J. E. Per- rault, Minister of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries, put through the House Wednesday. This bill allows the Government to decree by Order in Council that the sale of fish may be prohibited. There is a question that the province may not have such power, as the matter of commerce is in- volved, hence the permissive qual- ity of the legislation. The minis. ter said his purpose is to prevent the sale of trout. Due to the use of dynamite the trout is disappear- ing in some sections of the prov- ince. For the present year the Order-in-Couneil will prohibit the sale of trout captured in the sec- tion north of Montreal, but the minister said if this does not prove sufficient the following year he will make it general for the province, and for the entire trout season. This year the prohibition will be from August 15, when the fish are on the beds. The penalty for infringement will be $25 up to $50, at the discretion of the jus- tice of the peace, and $50 to $1uv for a subsequent offence or threw months in jail in default of pay- ment, Hon. Honore Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests, put through his bill providing for the inven- tory of all forests covered hy tim- ber leases. The clause restricting the annual cut on such concessions to 80 per cent of the growth was dropped. The minister will issue special regulations to allow of any exploi- tatios beyond that provided for nn- der the general rvegulations, hnt these will he granted only when 'here is a report showin the plan which must be based on the inven- tory earried out on directions of the minister. Fhe inventory work will be done by forestry engineers, but under direct control of the en- gineers of the department. CABINET NAMES DIRECTOR-GENERAL Victor Dore Takes Tempor- ary Post as Head of School Corporation Quebec, Mar. 27.--Victor Dore, Comptroller of the Montreal Catholic School Commission, was appointed director-general, pro- tem, of the Montreal Catholic | School Corporation, established hy | legislation passed during the course of the session which closed on Thursday. Announcement to this effect was made by Hon. L. A. David, Pro- vineial | Secretary, following a meeting of the Cabinet held at noon, it being explained that the appointment held good until July 1, 1928, when the whole of the new organization will be put into effect. The idea of the temporary | appointment is to maintain a lial- son between the existing -and pro- jected school administration sys- tems. Mr. Dore, who is well known in scholastie circles, will. therefore occupy the post as one of the five members of the new body to be named by the Lieutenant-Govern- or-in-Council. The total number of members of the administrative commission, which is part of the corporation, with the pedagogic commission, is 19; five named by the Government, five by the Arch- bishop of Montreal, five by the Montreal City Council, and four by the Committee of Study of the University of Montreal. - The Post of director-generp! of the corpora- tion carries an annual salary of $14,000.

At 1.30 the water was pouring over Wal- ton street bridge on the main street in torrents and the fire bell was rung to get assistance to save the stock in many of the stores. Cavan St, was blocked with ice and water and was impassable for traffic while the Barret street bridge was under water. Ontario street suffered most, the water backing up at the railway bridge and covering the neighborhood. The Ontario hotel close to the riv- er, was the worst sufferer, the lower floods being three feet deep in water while chairs and tables were floating around the dining room, All the stores along the street suffered, as the water tore its way down Ontario street to Walton street in a five foot wide strip and came down Walton to Queen and to Mill street. This morning huge chunks of ice cover Cavan, Ontario, Mill and Walton streets, Store keepers on Ontario street, Walton street from John on the north side to Mill Street are the heaviest sufferers, as the water found its way into the basements, and in most of them water is standing ahout three' feet deep. Stiens' pool room, which is in a basement on Walton street, was four feet deep in water this morn- ing and his damage is said to be | considerable. It is fortunate that | the flood on Saturday night broke away much of the fce, as far more serious damage is sure to have re- sulted. Reports from the coune try districts are that many bridges have gone and many of the roads are quite impassable. The Peter- boro-Port Hope highway in cer- tain sections is covered with ter, and to the gravel part of this highway deep fissures have been cut through water cutting its way throygh.
