WOULD INSTAL A GASOLINE TANK A police matron who will handle police work in connection with women and girls was appointed to the Osh- awa Police Force by the Town Council sin regular session last night. Mrs. A. Walker, 154 Celina St, received the appointment and will act without salary. After Council had dealt with various communications and other small matters Councillor A, W. Brown moved, seconded hy Deputy Reeve J. V. Hill, that Mrs. Walker be appoint- ed to the Police force in the capacity of Police Matron, The resolution carried unanimously. Councillor Brown pointed out how there had been some demand in the past for such an official in Oshawa but the town had not thought that it could support a Police Matron, He was pleased to state that there was living in Oshawa a retired Salvation Army officer who was willing to take over the work without any remunera- tion and mentioned Mrs. Walker's name, Mrs, Walker at the present time is Superintendent of the Salva- tion Army Sunday School, has raised a family and is well experienced for this kind of work. Place Light on Street On motion of Councillors Hawkes and .Hubbell a light will be placed on Agnes Street East, as requested by the residents of that neighbor- hood. A request addressed to the Councillors by some one in the audi- ence as to whether it would be re- commended by the Board of Works that Court Street be paved this year, was met with the answer that the Board might deal with the matter at a later date. ling, who is residing at Oshawa-on-the lake, has been instrumental in rescu- ing three young men who had got into difficulties on the lake, The letter was received and filed.

Opposition to the measure was fathered by Councillor Brown, who not only wanted the present weekly system maintained but wanted the men to be paid in cash, instead of by check. His mo- tion was supported by Deputy Reeve: Hill. Chairman Trick, in supporting his ! report, stated that this new method of paying would save considerable work in the Engineer's office and that in his opinion it would not work any hardship on any man, as stated by Councillor Brown. He pointed out that all the factories in Oshawa pay every two weeks, and that this action was favored, not because the companies wanted to hold the money, but because it saved work for the cost } departments. He stated that if the new system of payment should work any hardship that the town could re- vert to the old system at any time. Mr. Hill, in supporting Councillor Brown's anfendment that this reco- mendation of the Board be struck out and a clause inserted that the men ' be paid in cash once a week. Stat- ed that he did so chiefly out of sympathy for the few men whom the town hires as a matter of relief work and who need the money once a week. In a short verbal battle over the . question of whether or not to pay ~ by check, Counetllor Trick icalled { payment in cash "all bosh", pointing out how the other method saved work for the town Engineer and did not work any hardship. Mr. Mason stated that the method of paying by heck had been adopted as a matter of protection as it was dangerous on a big job to carry a week's pay to a large number of men, as the pay would be large and there would be temptation for somebody to commit rime. Councillor Brown's amend- iment was lost and the report ad- opted as read. The report read: -- Your Board of Works begs leave to report as follows: (Continued on page 5) {of which Councillor Cost Town $81 To Feed "Hikers" It cost the municipality of Oshawa the tidy sum of $81.10 to feed "General" McDonald's Army of unemployed veterans when they passed through this town in May on their long trek to Ottawa. This item was one of many contained in the Fin- ance Committee's report to Council last night and covered the cost of a supper and break- fast for each of the hikers. Besides this expense, there must be considered the housing which was accorded to the men in the armories, for which no charge was made by the Dom- inion Government against eith- er the town or the marchers.

Dr. T. W. G. McKay, who performed the operation, am- putating three fingers, was the only witness to give evidence, and hig statements largely corroborated those of Dr. McKibbon, the main witness of Tuesday evening. Coroner Dr. Rundle, in summing up the evidence, merely reviewed the statements made by witnesses. He pointed out that the deceased had the trek were small, hut added together they would make a good-sized total, IN GETTING BETTER (ITY MAIL SERVICE Should Have One or Two Additional Mails To Toronto WOULD HELP BUSINESS Request of Reformer Endorsed By Councillor Johnston-- Referred to Committee "I don't think there is any doubt FINDING OF JURY Two Pussies Interred With Full Ceremony With their eighteen lives things of the past and with ad- mission gained to that Valhalla where the moon shines every night and cat fights are not in- terrupted in the slightest, two felines of the town of Oshawa departed this life during the month of June, The matter was not reported to the public through the Vital Statistics but was drawn to the attention of the town by an item in the Fin- ance Committee's report to Council last night:-- "James Lundy, $2, for remov- ing and interring two dead cats." : The poet who wrote from the hottom of his heart: "I would not enter on my list of friends, Though polished with fine manners and high sense That man who needlessly sets foot upon a worm," would have been willing to make friends with all the mem- hers of the Oshawa Town Council last night, after view- ing the pardonable pride they took in such a simple service as the interment of two "poor pussies.' been injured by a machine in the plant of the Pedlar People, and the evidence went to show that precau- tions were taken to prevent accid- ents. The man was then removed to the hospital. The patient arrived at the hospi- tal at 7.28 and the operation was commenced at 8.30. He had been given a chance to recover from the initial shock and the evidence show- ed it was necessary to perform the operation at that time, the Coroner continued. Some other matter had been attended to but no extra anes- thetic had been required for the work. The patient yas removed from the operating room and returned to the ward at 10,30. This was no doubt a great length of time but in this case it was not considered to be out of the way. Dr. McKibbon's evidence shoyed that precautions had been taken by the use of a pneumonia jacket and apparently all conditions had been met in a proper way.

This amount of money the government of Ontario has been holding for the Housing Commission, and are anxious to get their account with the town cleared. The Commission has sold 18 out of the 20 houses that have been auth- but that every business man in Osh- [gas was out of commission and thel| o., 5 2nq does not anticipate any awa realizes there should be another mail train hetween here and Toronto. If mail cannot be transported on the 4.44 am. I am at least certain that local business men want to see mail taken west out of Oshawa not later than 10.17 a.m.," declared Councillor D. F. Johnston in Council meeting last night when a letter regarding the Toronto-Oshawa mail service had been read by town clerk Hare. Mr. A. R. Alloway, Assistant Manager of The Reformer Printing and Publish- ing Company, has just taken the matter up with the Post Office De- partment and forwarded a copy of the letter to the Council, enquiring if. they saw fit to support the request for more adequate mail service in this direction. Mr. Johnston suggested that the Councillors should get their shoul- ders to the wheel and see what could be done. The matter was referred to the License and Printing committee, Johnston is chairman. Mr. Alloway's letter to the Deputy Postmaster General is as follows: "There is room for considerable improvement in the mail service from Oshawa to Toronto, and we thought perhaps you would appreci- ate having the matter brought to your attention. "The mail service from Toronto to Oshawa is very satisfactory, but the mail service from Oshawa to Toronto is far from being so.

Mr. Gibson was awarded the contract on the expira- tion of the contract of the Oshawa Street Railway on June 30. He en- tered upon his new duties Saturday morning. At present not all of the mail is being 'handled by motor truck, but the new contractor is procuring mo- tor equippment for the work and will be using automobiles in a short time. Mr. Gibson is an experienced trans- fer man and for many years past has handled the Toronto papers as they came to Oshawa on the even- ing train, for the uptown book stores. Mr. Gibson tendered for the work on a two year basis but the papers that came to Oshawa to be signed were for a four year contract. Post- master Tamblyn has forwarded the contract to Ottawa, therefore, for alterations. The Oshawa Street Rail- way was paid $1,000 a year for this work, but Mr. Gibson will derive $1,200 a year due to the increased amount of work involved. It is un- derstood that Mr. Gibson purposes introducing a baggage transfer sys- tem in connection with his transfer {of the mails, parts were not kept in stock on ac- count of the machine being an Am- erican make. Dr. McKay, for the information of the jury, stated that it was an uncommon thing for the parts to get out of order as they had at this time. Coroner Rundle pointed out the unfavorable condi- tious under which the operation had to be carried out. The deceased had eaten breakfast a short time be- fore and the stomach was overload- ed, which would in any case cause vomiting, .and he had suffered from shock. Lungs Always Tested, Robt. Preston stated there was no evidence of what caused death from (Continued on page 8) trouble in disposing of the two or three houses which may be built in uging up this surplus. The matter was referred to the finance committee with power to act. Councillor Brown wanted to know why it was that a returned soldier, a resident of Oshawa and a working man was unable to get a loan from th Commission to build a house on a lot which the soldier owned him- self. Deputy Reeve Mason pointed out that the loan could not be ad- vanced because the lot was not sit- uated wher it had both sewer and water connections, but only the latter. : Bosses are often bossed by bosses. | The Housing Commission, Dr. Me- Kay pointed out, had taken up build- ing because of the scarcity of houses with a view also that people could buy the houses and eventually own the Homes. They had done much good and they had accepted a block plan, which had worked out all right in regard to cost, but the de- signer had invented a recess just large enough in which to instal a sink. Some houses had been built this way and the Board was trying to stop it, They had obtained the con- sent of the plumbers to alter the lo- cation of the sink but because of the layout it would not be possible for | the sink to be placed under the kit- {chen window, in which case, the window would have to he made smaller and therefore the light in the room would not he as great; be- sides the sink would be too low, Should Teach Good Building, One of the contractors, Dr. Me- Kay stated, was so filled with the idea that the recess was the proper place that he wanted it carried out 'hut the plumbers, knowing the ob- jections, came to the Board before installing sinks in order to avoid friction later on, and permits had been granted for general installa tion but not to be placed in the re- cesses. There is no law, averred Dr. McKay, "which allows us to act and we can only inspect stacks, typ« of connections and plumbing, bu' our interpretation of the Act is the privilege of doing what is known ar best practice. The block plan meets with the approval of those wanting that class of house and there is like- ly to be many more of them built. For that reason, it being a Commis- sion authorized by the Government, we feel that the Government should be trying to teach the elements of good building."

Engineer Smith recommend- sewer from Eulalie Avenue, as far north of King Street as necessary to trouble appeared to be, he pointed out, that the basements were flood- ed by surface water, which at the present time was unable to find proper outlet. The storm sewer proposed for Rit- son Road would relieve the trouble in part but to properly take care of the entire district a sewer should be constructed along the north side of King Street East. The Board - of regard to the sewer so he could not state anything as to the probability of its being built.

TRULL FAMILY HOLD RE-UNION About 100 Descendants of John Trull Gather at Lake on Holiday 59,000.00 ' At Oshawa-on-the-Lake Friday af- ternoon, the twenty-first annual re- union of the Trull family, descend- ants of the late John Trull, Sr, 2 United Empire Loyalist and pioneer settler of Durham county, was held, about 100 persons being present. The feature of the gathering was the presence of four generations, the old- est member being Casey Trull, aged 76, grandson of the original John Trull, #nd the youngest member Gladys Louise Trull, aged seventeen months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Lorenzo Trull, Hampton. Those present came principally from around Durham county and a few from Osh- awa, Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Trull and family, Division Street, being in- clyded in the gathering. John Trull, Sr., the ancestor of those present residents of Durham county, was born on the Isle of Wight, in 1746, and served on 2a man-of-war at the age of 13. Later in life he settled in New York state and married Miss Lydia Casey, daughter of a Dr. Casey, whose de- scendants are now living mear Nap- anee. In 1782 three children were born to them, in the United States, and six were born after they landed in Canada. The first child born on Canadian soil was John Casey Trull, who was born in 1795, and was the first white child born in Durham county. The family landed mear Port Darlington, October, 1794, where they settled and took up farming, He served in the war of 1812. Own- ing a large boat at that time, the Government commandeered it to carry prisoners from Toronto to Kingston. He died at the age of 82 years, and was buried in the Trull burying ground in the Township of Darlington. In 1894 the descendants celebrated the centennial of the landing of these pioneers. During the afternoon an impromp- tu program was given in the pavil- ion, among the numbers being solos by Mr. O. Gamsby, of Orono, and an exhibition of Scotch dancing by Miss Dixon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Dixon, alse of Orono. Supper was served in the pavilion, after which many of those present indulged im dancing. The Cox Family Orchestra was in attendance throughout the afternoon and evening. All who are cuckeo are not housed in clocks.
