T_T socal Member Emphasizes Lack of Accommodation in Post Office and Customs lo Oshawa Buildings Dur- in Consideration of Esti. mates of Department of Public Works and Also Speaks on Expenditure For Governor - General's Residence in Quebec Dr. T. 'E. Kaiser, of this city, nember for South Ontario in the 'aderal House, drew the attention f the House of Commons to the nadequate accommodation of the Post, Office and Customs House in Dshawa, in the sitting of Thursday pf last week. The House at the time was sit- ng in committee of Supply, with stimates of the Department of Public Works under censideration. tems .of varying amounts for pub- ic buildings were being discussed, mong them one of $115,000 for mprovements and repairs to Do- pinion Public Buildings in Ontario. n speaking on this item, Dr, Kai- ser mentioned the conditions in Dshawa, and following is Hansard's eport of his comments, together th a reply of Hon, J. C, Elliott, Minister of Public Works: "Mr, KAISER: This is a genera! ote, but has the minister in mind ny particular places where he is going to expend this money? If so, should like to draw to his atten- fon the condition of the post office in the city of Oshawa, In the first place, let me say that the customs house accommodation in the city of Oshawa is entirely?inadequate to serve the needs of the people. A customs revenue of $12,000,000 ls collected annually in Oshawa, and the government has not pro- vided its officials with proper ac- commodation for carrying on their > ine PTR van.! 11MEd, wEUNESDAY, MAY 9, 1928 tenae agreeing for omce, and I rise to support them both, for this rea son. Like the member for La- belle, I promised some friends of line that at this session I would draw the "avtention of parliament and of the country to the condi- tion of the Louisburg ruins. I had the pl e of visiting that old work. The same is true of the post office. 1 have no doubt that the postmaster who has recently been appointed is endeavoring to do hig best, but under the conditions that obtain there it is impossible for the best service to be given, and there are bound to be difficulties all over the district where mails are distributed. I would respectfully urge upon the minister the neces. sity of affording relief and provid. ing the necessary accommodation and equipment there to serve that large district. "Mr. ELLIOTT: I am aware that the conditions in Oshawa are much as my hon. friend indicates. Busi- ness there has increased very great. ly, and I shall be glad to give con- sideration to the matter that he mentions. I might add that this amount is not allotted to any par- ticular place, but is used where repairs for buildings are found neec- essary. There has been spent in Ontario annaully for the last nim- ber .of years a sum running from $112,000 to $115,000 to keep the government buildings in a state of reasonable repair. . "Mr. KAISER: Will the minister look into the claim which the city of Oshawa has against the depart- ment for arrers of local improve- ment tax, amounting to $87.35? 1 see no reason why he should not attend to this gigantic matter and get it off our hands.

Instead I found the shaft had been placed there by the American Historical Society to perpetuate the colonial historic associations of Louisburg, Third, I saw an endeavor to restore some parts of the old fort, but I found that this work had been une dertaken by an American resident who, unfortunately, died before he was able to complete-his plans. I am in thorough accord with the view that we shoud maintain our historic landmarks, and if any of this money is to be spent on such restoration I am sure it will meet with the approval of the country as a whole; but I do not think we are in a position to spend a quarter of a million dollars just to make a summer residence for the governor general, : GUNPLAY AROLSES FALLS RESIDENTS Victim of Shooting on Sun- day is Likely to Die Niagara Falls, N.Y., May 7.-- Jacob D, Hanson, Secrelary of the Niagara Falls Lodge, B.P.O.E, who was wounded by two ununi- formed United States Coast Guardsmen near Lewiston, N.Y., early Sunday morning, is expected to live through the night, but not much longer, Hospital attend- ants report that Hanson, who has been unconscious since the shoot- ing, cannot survive much longer, unless unexpected changes occur. Should he live, blindhess and men- tal incapacity will be his lot. Two to Surrender The two Coast Guardsmen, Glen Jennings and Chris Dew, who have been held in Coast Guard quarters at Fort Niagara by Cap- tain Fred L, Beck, Coast Guard chief, will be surrendered to State authorities tomorrow, and will be arraigned on charge 4 second degree mssault tomorrow afternoon before Peace Justice Charles Fieldus, of Lewiston, This action was decided upon late to- night at a conference between Beck, United States District At- torney Richard Temple, Bufalo, and Raymond A. Xnowles, Dis- tain Beck had heretofore refused to surrender the men into State custody. The arraignment will not interfere with the Government's attempt to have the case transfer- red to the Federal Courts, City Council Protests Public feeling against the two Coast Guardsmen is running high. The City Council this afternoon adopted a resolution condemning the activities of "irresponsible Coast Guardsmen." The resgolu- tion directed against the Guards<men's current practice of searching automobiles at will, de- plored the shooting eof Hanson and called for thorough investiga- tion of strict justice to the Guards men, later was information shows at least three automobiles and very probably ethers were fired upon by Dew and Jennings refore they wounded Hanson. Edward that says that during the last e'ght weeks he and his wife have hesrd more than 500 shots from t"» di- rection where Hanson was wn nnd- ed. Threats of lynchings ha: made but no serious effort direction is anticipated. 17 n's fellow, Elks, holding a special meeting tonight, arranged to hold a public protest meeting Wednes- day, and denounced in the stronz- est terms the maladministration of the prohibition laws. OFFERS STATUES BUT WANTS AY Toronto Citizen Gives De- scription of Two Models-- Will Give Them For $20 (By Canadian Press) Toronto, 'May 9.--Offer of the statues of two queens to the schoo} management committee gave a mo- mentary thrill to that body the oth- er day. But it did not last. An east end citizen wrote that he had models of Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra at his home, and he suggested that it would be nice for the school board to take them off his hands (he really needed the room they were taking up) and he thought it would be fine idea to put the Victoria one in Queen Vie- toria school and the other in Queen Alexandra school. The trustees listened and smiled with benign approval as the letter was read. It went on to say that the models were life size and were made during the jubilee of Queen Victoria. So far so good. Then came the final touch. 'The models would be $10 each. "Fyled" said the trustees. And that was that, "ren in this trict Attorney, Niagara Falls, Cap- }; F.

It fis many years now since I read her life, but even she, I recollect, had to face calumny and apposition, though her whole life was conse- crated to freeing women from the slavery of their own and men's baser passions. She dared to chal- lenge the belief that any woman should be looked upén as a man's chattel, and ultimtaely secured the support mot only of other women, but all right-minded men as well. No one can have read the recent ar. ticles in "The Times" on the re- port of prostitution prepared by the League of Nations without nruch thanksgiving forthe progress that has been made, mor without thinking how much of that pro- gress is due to the influence of Josephine Butler and her helpers. I was struck by one remarkable sen- tence. A foreign traflicker in wo- men said in reply to an inquiry: "Englishwomen <~n't make good prostitutes, they ..s too independ- ant." Those of y »u who are per- haps inclined to laugh at the do- ings of the suffragettes and their kind would do well to remember that they fought and are still fight- ing for the independence--econom- ical, political and spiritual-- of women.

Fifty dollars? Yes. My PENSIONS FOR GAR. BAGEMEN, NEVER! (By Canadian Press) Toronto, May 9--A feminine cor- 'respondent of a local paper is ex- cited oVer a suggestion that gar- bage collectors need pensions. "Think of it--$28.80 per week of 53 days, at not more than 4 hours per any day's work, two weeks' hol- idays paid for each year at the taxpayers' expense, to say nothing of the other days off--Christmas two days, New Year's the same. Orangemen's day, etc., all paid for. If the garbage men are not satis- fied, let them step out. Any amount of men would be glad to take their places. I would suggest after this each citizen lift his or her ash cans into the waggon them- selves, while the garbage man looks on and smiles. If you think my views are exaggerated, just take a day off and visit any of the city dumps or stables, and see for your« self the state of affairs." At least one Toronto garbage man is satisfied, for he always whis- tles down the street.
