One of his first statements was made in reference to the opening of mew General Motors plants in Regina and Walkerville. It was only after careful and exhaustive study of the project that it was considered neces- sary to erect these new plants, The West being now one of the greatest users of the General Motors pro- ducts, and the large demand for trucks near the border cities was stated as being the prime reasons for the new move towards extensive xpansion, "Perhaps next winter there will not be so many employees at the General Motors Company here" he pointed put, "but we will commence our work arlier in the ycar, and maintain a steadier pace, so that work for those mployed at our plants will remain onstant." This statement was fol- wed by a rousing cheer. Referring to the fact that G. M, mployees are urged to become stockhclders, Mr. McLaughlin added bis own views on the subject. It is nteresting Lo note, he said that 8! per cent of the older service em- ployees haye taken advantage of this puportunity to invest their savings. e expressed a wish that all em- pioyees should become stockholder of the company, In brief the spcaker related his barly association with General Mo- ors, beginning at the time his father, the late Robert Mclaughlin carried bu a carriage factory. An amusing cicent occurred when Mr. Mc- ughlin produced two ledgers for- erly of the original carriage busi- ess and once the property of his father. Wages at that time were high at one dollar a day, which was paid to employees of the Mel Laugh- in Carriage mpany, and later the eneral Motors in its infancy, he id. id.

W. Hal- nes, collided with a taxi, driven by Roy Wainwright, at the corner of Bond and Mechanic streets shortly after six o'clock last night causing considerable damage to the taxi's front and rear mudguards, running board and rear®wheel on right hand side. WILL EXTEND WILLIAM STRE (Continued from page 1) The recommendation of the com- mittee read: "That the offers received from J. M. Broadhead of $1,000, for front half of lot 44, plan 150; Charles E. Wales, of $1,400, for rear half of lot 44 and Awelling thereon, and for approjimately 18% feet of lot 46, these properties being Albert H, Smith of $800, required for the opening of William street east to Oshawa Boulevard, be ac- cepted. And that the cost be di- vided equally between the city at large and the property owners bene- bitted and that the engineer be asked to bring in a report setting out the division of the cost among the property owners affected. And that a by-law be prepared unaer the provisions of the Local Im- provement Act, providing f the purchase price to be paid by assess. Ing onehalf against the city at large and the balance against the rate- payers in the immediate vicinity re- celving benefit therefrom." In moving the adoption of his committee's report Alderman Allo- way explained that, on the property heing purchased from Mr, Wales there was a frame house which eould be removed and sold, pos- sibly for about $350, which would reduce the cost of opening the street to helow $3,000, This portion of the street would he slightly narrower than the halance of William street, "If it had not hoon for the concession lines, there would be uo through streets in Osh- Ava at aL" remarked the alder- MAN If possible to Improve the He's position In regard to blind stinks, it should he done, He also referred to the Fae of Thes, Ad- mu, town planning expert, several LEnen ale, when Mr, Adams rather verely eritielged Oshawa for the number of blind streets and streets sonneeting with through nil reels Alderman Stacoy referred to the throes wirests that it wag proposed to open, He sald that it William sirent was extended there would he no hope of extending Colborne street, Just a couple of hundred feet to the north, He took the stand that it was not worth while opening both of them, and there was good hope of having Colborne | street opened at an early date. On William street there would be only two or three citizens to bear the Local Improvement burden, while there were more to divida it among in the Colborne street extension, Mayor Preston remavked that no action would leave a hatter monu- ment to the 1928 council than the opening of streets. The council should not waste time hagging over a few hundred dollars, Alderman Swanson favored the extensions, provided a reasonable porticn of the cost was paid under the Lueal Improvement Act, by citizen: bene- fitting. He hoped that soon the Board of Works would have a re- port on the opening of Colborne street, When the vote was called, Alder- man Stacey demanded the yeas and nays® om this "fool proposi- tion" and received the satisfaction of one supporter. Later in the eve- ning the council carried a motion of Alderman Macdonald apd Har- man calling for 2 report trom the Board of Works on the Colborne street extension at the next meet- ing of the council. RESIDENTIAL AREA BY-LAW DEFEATED BY 8 T0 6 VOTE Alderman Swanson Speaks Strongly in Support of By-law Alderman D. A, J. Swanson's by- law to make a portion of King street east a residential, streét was finally and definitely killed by the city council last night. When the yeas and nays were taken, six alder men supported the by-law while eight voted against it, 'The by-law Was given first read- ing.at last council meeting, as a matter of form, but when the mo- tion for second reading was maae the by-law was laid over until last night for "further consideration" on the part of the aldermen. "There has been more high diving ana dodging of the issue in respect to this question than anything that has been before this council in two years," declared Alderman Swan- son, "It was put off unti] tonight for 'consideration' when there is not a man in this councll with the mentality of a child of eight years but could understand it. The by- law 1s perfectly simple, and unless they are lacking in mentality, they must have delayed for the benefit of certain oil companies." Cries of several aldermen-- "Now, now, that is most unfair!" Alderman Swanson--*'I was charged with promising to furnish members of the council with copies of the by-law,~and not doing so. That promise was made in respect to the first by-law, which I with- draw, Then, it was rumored that I was absent from a certain coun- cil meeting, in which a permit was given the oil company, because T was afraid to meet the issue. I deny the right of this counefl to attack the by-law unfairly and de- lay the issue, when the reason giv- en for putting. it off would not hold water in a hody of men capable of coherent thought!" "Alderman Graves--*T want Mr, Swanson to remember that it was this present by-law of which he promised to submit capies to the council, the other one had been al- ready withdrawn. He failed to keep his promise. The passing of this by-law would not be in the best interests of the city, for, while I don't care a rap for the oil com- pany, I maintain that it is of no use calling it a restricted area when it is but semi-restricted." Alderman Alloway reminded the council that, at the last meeting the by-law had been introduced at a late hour, and "because of our 'im- mature minds' it was laid over un- til tonight for consideration." When the yeas and nays were called, Alderman Swanson, Morris, Maedonald, Harman, Stacey and Al- chin supported the hy-law, while Aldermen E, Jackson, Crawford, Boddy, Alloway, Graves, Douglas, Conant and Carnell opposed it, The by-law was then declared defeated. HYDRO SERVICE 1S INTERRUPTED Hydro ower was interrupted to- Hydro power was interrupted to- due to a defective transformer lo- cated on Bruce Street near Sim- coe street, An 'interruption from the same cause octurred for an hour last night, This morning the Hydro management decided to re- place the transformer and a c"ew of men set to work to remove it from the pole and put another in its place. As these transformers weigh nearly a ton each this was no light task: Incidentally, the power inter- ruption caused serious inconveni- ence to The Oshawa Daily Times. The night staff of 15 men 3 plunged in darkness both last night and again this morning, and the day staff on typesetting mach- ines could not commence work un- tii about 10.30 a.m., it requiring until that time for the metal to melt, The staff worked through noon hour to help make up for lost time, hut even at that some im- portant items of news may have te be left over until tomorrow. Fliers Unable to Sight Nobile 1 in Rescue By Air is » Difficult] Task -- Italian Alpine Pa- trols Start Across Ice in Search of Party {Cable Serviez to The Times by ress King's Bay, Spitzbergen, June 19-- After futile attempts of fliers to find General Umberto Nobile and his party of suryivors on the ice north of Northeast Land, it was felt here today that rescue by air was likely to prove a difficult task. Hope for im- mediate relief turned™to dog teams. A fast patrol of Italian Alpine the service of the company from 35 to 39 years, from 30 to 34 vears and 25 to 29 years took place in conse- cutive order. The service pins were gold, and for each ten years after the first five vears of service, a gold maple leaf was added on the face of the pin. (Continued on page 8) Two Attempts troops was making its way over the ise today toward Nobile's position. Another patrol was getting ready to start out in search of the three men who haye been missing ig they left the Nobile party on May 3( Twice, Sunday and ar. No- bile's hopes have been raised to a high point on secing seaplanes ap- proach him. Twice they have been dashed as they disappeared again without sighting him.

Swanson D Declares He Will Refuse to Be Respon- sible for Increased Debt of City -- Attacks Policy of Recommending Construc- tion Work Without Any Limit Declaring that .at the end of the year he would not be responsible for the increased debt of the city and that he would inform the ratepayers to that effect Alderman D. A. J. Swanson, chairman of the Finance Committee at last night's council meeting launched a bitter « attack dgainst the chairman of the Board of Works and his committee, for 'the "lackadaisical and haphazard man- ner" in which the committee, brought in its reports recommending the lay- those | veiled | ing of more pavements and sewers when no one knew where the meney was to come from. This attack followed the report of the Works Committee in which re- commendations were made for addi- tional pavements and sewers, Alder- man Stacey, chairman of the Board of Works, said the committee de- sired to do what was in the best in- terests of the city and thought there should be a limit to the construction work, but when the committee did Lring in the report alderman after alderman got up to recommend' other work which was adopted' without cven relerring it to the Board of Works. "There never had been a period when the affairs of the Board 'of Works have been conducted in such a lackadaisical way, Alderman Swanson asserted. "We ean't find cut how much our public works are going to cost. Tonight we have an- other haphazard report with more pavements and sewers being recom- mended, Ninty per cent of the work could be done by budgeting and necessary arrangements made for financing, The committee bring in a certain amount of work to he done one meeting and some more the next. If we could only know what our capital expenditure for the year will be, we would be shocked, The coun- cil "has passed a resolution to have the Board of Works prepare a buds get but this had not been done. We don't know where we stand at the present time. When the end of the year comes I refuse to accept the responsibility for lackadaisical and h aphazard manner in which the com- mittee's business has been conduct- ed," Alderman Swanson declared. Alderman Stacey syated that at the beginning of the year the committee had found $70,000" of last year's con- struction work * had not heen com- pleted. The council asked for a bud- get, but when the committee's report was submitted members of the coun- cil were on their feet wanting other improvements which passed without even being referred to committee. The Board of Works had gone care- fully into all construetion work. The only thing that should worry the chairman of the finance committee was the amount of money he could borrow from the bank. The less work done this year would mean more for next ycar, Alderman Stacey declared, "You can put all the blame on the chairman if you like, I've always been used to it anyway, ' Mr, Stacey added, The Board of Works' report was then adopted. It contained the fol- lowing clauses: "Further to our previous report re- commending that a pavement be laid on Simcoe street south from Frank street to Thomas street, we recom- mend that this pavement 'be con- structed at 'a width of cighteen fcet without curbs and gutters, and that the work be dome by the Standard Paving Ltd, who submitted the low- est tender, namely, $2.10 per sq. yd. for Concrete Pavement under the Ontario Department of Highways specific ations, with a slab thickness of 7 inches at the centre and 10 in- ches at the margins, and $2.20 per sq. yd. for a 4. Black Base with 1 inch Sheet Asphalt Top pavement, We recommend that the selection of the type of pavement to be laid, be left to the discretion of the City En-- gineer, who shall determine the type] of pavement, concrete or Black Base Asphalt, best suited to the subgrade material when the present road sur- face has been scarified and shaped to form the subgrade for the pave- ment.
