The 'matter is still in the hands of the committee, who were instructed to report at the next council meeting. Mayor Preston opened the discus- sion by stating that members of the council had met a representative of the Hydro Electric Power Cimmis- sion a few days age, and discussed the 'purchase of the local gas plant. The Commission are asking $225,000, and the mayor thought that the coun- cil should get a valuation from an independent firm of engineers, "We have played with this ques- tion long enough. Lect us take off our coats and get into it" said 'Alder- man Conant, who thought that the committee should be empowered to engage the expert assistance neces- sary or advisable to value the gas plant property, But, evén if it could be bought for a reasonable figure, he deubted if it could be made an econ- omic possibility without the proper maghinery to handle its operation. Council should first decide whether or not they would buy the plant, then appoint a Public Utilities Commis- sion, or other body, to supervise gas, water and electric distribution within the city, By consolidating the opera- tion of all three units, they could all be operated more cconomically than at present. : "The reason municipalities are not satisfied when they meet with the Hydro Commission, is that they ap proach them in the spirit of criticism, rather than co-operation, I am not too sure that we are approaching this question from the right angle," said Alderman Swanson. Most municipali- tics were controlled by men opposed | to the HLE.P.C,, and they were repre- sented in the past by known advo- cates of private ownership as against public ownership . He believed that this was the reasen for the difficulties this part of the province has had in their relations to Hydro, We are contributors to the Hydro Commis= sion, each citizen is a member of Hydro, and we should not fear that they would De unfair, We should proceed carefully in the purchase of the gas plant, and Mr. Swanson con- tinued, he would oppose any motion to spend money, on experts or other- wise, until the eouncil decided on buying the plant. He moved that the committec report to the council at the next mecing which was carried. Alderman Stacey said that, the report of the Hydro on the plant was complete in every detail, and had at~ tached a statement of carning penditures and profits. He did not consider expert advice desirable, the report contained everything neces Mayor Preston int erposed a ques- tion as to whethey the Eastern On- tario Power Assofiation had ever re- ceived an answer to their query to Premier Ferguson. Alderman Conant replied that, while the: Premier had neyer yet issued a reply, the cxecu- tive of the Association had met last week and devised ways and means to get the answer as soon as possible. The committee that is considering the gas plant purchase is composed of Alderman Stacey, Conant, Swan son, Boddy and S Lson.

Bap- com, chairman, and Dr. C. F. Mc- Gillivray, secfetary treasurer, were appointed at the rezular montaly meeting, of the Board of Educa- tion, held in the town clerk's office, Wednesday night, to interview the couneil at its next regular session and on behalf of the board request an additional grant for the purpose of providing a new and suitable building to house the agricultural department of the A motion io this etiect Will Ask Council For Grant to Erect Building For Agriculture Dep't ; was made by F. L. Beecroft, sec- onded by John Larkin and ear- ried. Every member of the board is expected to be present when the delegation is received by the coun- eil. The present quarters occupied by the agriculture department are deemed unsatisfactory and the board has been advised by the De- partment of Education that unless a proper building and proper eqtup- ment be obtained the schoo! may lose certain government grants which it is now receiving to carry on this course. Although several members expressed .ueir gesne to co-operate wit) the town council in its endeavor to keep expendi- tures this year at a minimum they were of the opinion that the muni- cipality would be "penny wise and pound foolish' if, for the sake of Whitby High | economy it should refuse to fol- low at the suggestion of the De- partment of Education and thus forego these zrants. \ 3 Rev.

G. D. Conant, who represented oo government, pointed out that the defendants had received warning late®last No- vember to forward their income re- ports to the proper authorities but in spite of this warning had failed to do so. However, the govern- ment was only asking the minimum penalty ef $25 for one day in which the to negilgent taxpayers had been in arrears. He pointed out that according to law.the.govern- ment could request a minimum fine of $25 a day during the five years in which the defendants had failed to pay any income tax. Chief of Police Friend computed that fines of $45,625 would have to he registered in each ¢ase. Unless the government kad shown this leniency, Magistrate Hind would have had no option but to enforce this colossal penalty. ' The case rather an unusual one for the local court, although Mr. Conant stated that he had been informed by the income tax de- partment that a number of local people had failed to make returns and he urged that they take warn. ing. The defendants, he claimed, had been given ample opportunity to make out their reports for the past five years. In passing sent- ence Magistrate Hind | instructed both Muholland and Sturlock to make complete returns hy May 26, otherwise they will he ealled back to conrt. The plea of the defend- ants was "that they paid income taxes to the city and found the task of filling out the government fin- come forms beyond their ability, His Worship adyised that there were income tax experts the city whom they might "This is a foolish Magistrate Hind, to the defend- ants, "People must obey the law: how could the government carry on if no taxes were paid? If fined what the Jaw states you would each be liable to $45,625." As it was the two citizens esecap~ ed $25 and costs apiece and have been allowed until May 26 to trace out back incomes for the past five years Harry Crosby who was arrested on Simcoe street south yesterday afternoon pleaded" guilty to a charge of being intoxicated and was assessed $20 and costs or 30 days at hard labor in the county jail, Esther Godfrey appeared before His Worship to face a trespass count, the complainant being a neighbor, Walter Stapely, who re- sides at 304 Nassau street, Ap- parently Mrs. Godfrey had been warned by a letter from Crown At- torney MecGibbon to keep away from the Stapely family as Mr. Stapely was accusing her of causing estrangement between himself and his wife. Mrs, Godfrey had not interpreted the letter correctly but on advice of her counsel, Mr. Stan- ley Douglas, she pleaded guilty and was let off without costs, Hitherto she is to leave the Stap- leys strictly alone unless invited to their home by letter, COUNCIL AWARDS PAVING CONTRACT Towland Company's Tender is Accepted By Bowmanville is in employ, thing," said Boymanville, May 10. -- The Towland Construétion Company of Guelph, Canada, was awarded the paving contract for the town of Bowmanville at a spe-ial meet- ing of the council tonight. There were a large number of applica- tions sent in to the committee, and before the contract could be let, The paving for the town con- sists of 'about six streets or per tions of streets which, when laid. will paretically have the main roads of the town in concrete. The costs will probably run in neigh- borhood of $70,000, it is thought, and the work is to be completed as 'soon as possible. This year's operations are the largest that has been attempted in the town at one time, and the completion of the work will make the town one of the most up-to- date Plases on the nighway.

Over Question of Restrict. ing Area on King Street East -- Ald. Swanson Again Challenges Right of Mayor Preston to Preside Over Discussion -- Legal Points Threshed Out and Then Motion is With. drawn The by-law to restrict to a resi- dential area that portion of King street east from Ritson road to west of Charles street, was last night withdrawn by its sponsor, Alderman D. A. J. Swanson, and. at the same time, the city .council passed a motion refusing, for the considerable discussion took place' present, the permit asked by the British American Oil Co. to erect a gasoline service station at Rit- son road and King street. Mr. Swanson intimated that he would introduce a modified by-law, which will go, before the Railway and | Municipal Board for final passing, at the next meeting of the eouncil, Discussion on the question start. ed within a minute after the coun- cil came to order. Mayor Preston galled for the first order of busi- ness, communications, whereupon Alderman Swanson' objected, say- ing this was an adjourned meet- ing, theb usiness should proceed where it stopped when adjourn- ment was made at the last meet- ing, that a decision should be handed down on the by-law vote. If it was desired to revert back to communications, a motion should be passed to that effect, He again challgngéd the right of Mayor Preston to preside over discussion of the question, since he was, through his office, interest- ed in the matter personally, It was the mayor's duty, Mr. Swan- son contended, to retire from the chair. is fl he said that, if the he would retire, Alderman A, J. Graves couldn't agree that the mavor was in any way disqualified from sitting in at the discussion of the matter, "It was not the permit for the gaso- line station that was being dis- cussed, but*a by-law to create a residential district, and he moved that a vote of the council be taken as an expression of opinion. Al- derman Swanson objected to a point of order, saying that the mo- tion of the second reading of the restricted area by-law was still be- fore the council, and that no other motion could he presented. As soon as the meeting SHOULD OSHAWA BE COUNTY SEAT? Mayor Preston council wished, once Matter Pro and Con--What is Your Opinion? East Whitby, May 11, 1928 Daily Times. Fdifor, The Oshawa Dear Sir; During the past winter some of my neighbe rs would occasionally gather in the evening and talk over County and Township matters, One "night discussion arose as to the best place for the County town and the talk grew very animated. To give you all that was said would take too much space. There were only two places mentioned, one being its present situation, Whitby, and the other Osh- awa. I will just give you the prin- cipal points urged by each side in favor of its town. Personally, the writer is divided in his views and would like to hear from others in the County how they feel in the matter. Those who favored the present place said that the public had been going there "for four gencrations, that the town of Whitby had grown up around the buildings and were largely dependent on the existing ar- rangement; 'that the fact that the town was quiet was in 4ts favor as giving the County legislators a pro- per atmosphere for thought and de- liberation. The large cost in making the change was also spoken of. Those favoring Oshawa pointed out that a large proportion of the Divi- sion Court cases originated in that city and that it was a hardship to those concerned to be compelled to do so much extra travelling unneces- sarily: that the size and importance of Oshawa would lend a, dignity to the County seat which it facks in its present location. It was also said that there is only one other case in Ontario where the County town is not the largest town in the County. I have been wondering since whe- her Oshawa's withdrawal from the County for certain' purposes wouid prejudice its claim in this respect. If it chanced that Oshawa should be chosen for this purpose, what a splen- did site the Cowan property would be for the purpose'. ay Hoping that - this "communication may result in some cxpressions of opinion of this important subject, I am Since rely vOUrs, ONTARION. Ald. Swanson Withdraws Will Bring in Another Modified more came to order, Alderman Swanson exploded the bombshell by requesting leave, with the come sent of his seconder, to withdraw the motion, This was carried. Alderman Stacey moved to have the by-law re-introduced. Alderman Swanson then informe ed the council that he had with drawn the by-law because there was 'a difference in the views of. various legal men of the city in respect to the action of the coun« cil, and 'where lawyers qaiffer even lawyers tremble." It was wise to let the matter stand at present, as he would introduce a niodified by-law, probably at the next meeting of the couneil. Mr. Swanson then moved the ape plication of the British-American Oil Co., for a service station at Ritson road and King street, be not granted at the present time, East Whitby Readers Discuss | The motion carried. | Notice of motion was then given (by Alderman Swanson that, at the | next meeting of the council, either regular or special, he would intro- | duce a by-law to declare a certain [portion of King street, west of the | Ritson road, a residential area, | subject to permission to erect stores and apartment houses of a certain type, and, that after it has received first and second: reading by the council it should be placed before the Railway and Municipal Board for ratification. He added that, as soon as the by-law has been drafted, a copy would be, sent to each member of the coun< cil. Two further petitions relating to the proposed restricting of this part of King street as a residential |area, were received, One, signed by eight property owners, was the same in wording as the one pre« sented at the last council meeting, {praying that the restriction be im- posed, Another petition, signed by [twelve property owners, asked that no restrictions he placed on their respective properties, as they cone sidered them adjacent to the busi ness area.
