RakeOff Takings at Carnival at Lakeview Park--Those Op- posed to Latter Can Petition, Says Mayor Stacey, Replying to Criticism "Personally I would sooner see the Town Council grant the firemen $500 than give them permission to raise that sum in this way," emphatically declared Deputy Frank Mason at last night's Council meeting when the councillors were discussing the re- quest of the Firemen for permission for the "Canadian Allied Shows" to remain in Oshawa for a week during three days of which time the Fire- men's Convention will be in session in Oshawa. While this statement found strong backing in Councillor Trick a motion was finally passed which will allow the firemen to bring in certain mechanical concessions. The firemen may not have received all that they were after at last night's meeting but their request for this permission and Deputy Reeve Mason's statement paved the way for a grant of $500 for firemen's uni- forms which will be the property of the town. The discussion on carnivals was first opened by Councillor R. D. Pres- ton during the discussion on the wa- ter rate question and although May- or Stacey endeavored to head Coum- cillor Preston off he refused to be silenced. During the debate on the water rates Mr. Preston stated that the only way unanimity could be ob- tained in the government of Oshawa was by having the Town Council and the various bodies which help man- age the town working in unison. re- ferring in this manner to a proposed meeting between the Council and the Water Commissioners. "But within the past few weeks we have had a | clear case of the council and anoth- er body working differently to each LAKE RESIDENTS OPPOSE CARNIVAL Between 30 and 40 residents at Oshawa-on-the-lake have signed a petition asking that the agreement between the Board of Park Commissioners and the carnival company locat- ed at Lakeview Park be cancell- ed Last night, during a discuss- ion of carnivals at the Council meeting, Mayor Stacey declared that if people did not desire the carnival gt the lake they could petition against it. His Worship is getting his answer quickly, for while the petition was eir- culated prior to the Council meeting it was handed to a member of the Park Board this morning, The petition is thor- oughly representative of the lakeside residents. An effort will be made, it is likely, to have a special meeting of the Park Board held to con- sider the plaint of the residents, BOLSHIE THEORIES OF GOV'T MUST BE SHOWN AS FALSE Is Only Way to Solve The Problem of The Russian Empire STORIES CORRECTED Mr. Tom Skeyhill, Australian Soldier Poet, at Chautauqua Monday Night The only way to solve the problem of the Russian Empire, which has had a great deal to do with the col- lapse of the buying power of Europe and its interlacing effect on the Do- minion of Canada, is to prove by the force of example that her theories of government are false. "You can't do it by killing the leaders, for to martyr a cause is to perpetnate it al- ways. It must be dome by a mobili- other," declared Mr. Preston. "I am speaking of the Parks Board allow- | ing an amusement carmival to come | to the lake shore despite the fact | that the council last year went om | record as being opposed to such a | thing." Mayor-- "You are out of order." Councillor Preston--"1 am not out of order. I am endeavoring to show | you how the various governing bod: | fes should work together for the | good of the town." Firemen Want Carnival At this stage Councillor Johnston begged leave to introduce a delega- tion from the firemen which also had something to say regarding camni- vals. Chief A. C. Cameron was spokesman for the delegation. He stated that "The Canadian Allied Shows," which is now showing at Ot- tawa, wanted to show im Oshawa one of her most highly respected i in the death of William E. zation of moFal amd spiritual forces of the universe through the churches and schools and by moral ex- ample; by a returm by the world tc the old ideals of faith and right and | to a practical application of the teach- ings contained im the Sermom om the Mount." Such were some of the ex- pressed opinions of last might's speak- er in the Chantangua tent by Mr. Tom Skeyhill, the Australian Soldier poet, who necently spemt six momths in Russia, disguised 2s a Swedish Elect- rical engineer, after he had been pe- fused passports on three occasions by the oficial authorities. Mr. Skey hill is a speaker of simple words, enlivened with minute graphic wond pictures, with an earnest, impressive delivery, and a sincere, intelligent outlook. i He also woiced his opinion that a had government jis better tham mo government at all, and that the ower- throw of the Bolshevik regime in Russia would result in a terrible up- heaval of the country that would let loose mpon the world one hundred millions of starving, desperate people, "to create a wacumm in which Canada Misinformation He asserted that a wast amount of if | i i ; | I | | itself might be sucked down and des-| PLANS FOR SCHOOL INS. EAST SECTION AGCEPTED BY BOARD May Call for Tenders Within Week -- Specifications Ready Then SITE IS BEING BOUGHT Trustees Knight, Chappell and Storie Are Named as a Building Committee Realizing that the southeast sec- tion of the town is in greatest need of additional school accommodation, the Board of Education plans to have the school proposed for that district erected first. Plans for the eight room school to be built there, on a site for which negotations are now under way, were accepted by the Board of Education last night. It is likely that the architects, Hutton and Souter, of Hamilton, will have the specifications ready a week hence to enable tenders to be called for. On motion of Trustee Drew, Trus- tees Knight, Chappell and Storie were appointed as a building committee to be in direct charge of the work on the new school. They have author- ity to accept the specifications, when these are submitted. The sample plans submitted by the architects are to be retained by the building com- mittee. Trustee Nott, chairman of the Property Committee, intimated during the discussion that the pro- posal was that the building be erect- ed in 90 days, providing the contract- ors are pushed. Repairs At Schools. During the summer vacation the repair program to the various schools will be carried out. Last night the Property Committee's report covering this work was adopted. It recom- mended that the tenders for repairs be awarded as follows: -- "Plumbing at Albert Street school, W. E. Bramhall. "Fixing stairways at School, N. A. Campbell. "Additions at Albert Street School, N. A. Campbell. "Tinming ceiling at High School, R. H. Lockwood. "Wiring at Albert St. School, Mr. Gamble; at King St. School, Chas. Bowra; at Slamooe Street Scheel, L. F. Killoran; at High School, Purdy and Co.; and at Mary Street School, A. C. Cameron. "That we ask the Town Council to raise $110,000 by debentures as soon as possible, "That all work in conmection with the various repairs be paid whea O Kd. by the Property Committee and Chairman, and one other member of the Finance Committee." Trustee Nott also advised that the committee had decided a two pipe system was the best to heat (Continued on page 2) the High Such is Principal's Estissste for Board of Education--Rent Temporary Space?

Oshawa possesses, On Batur- Jay the Dominion Plate Glass Company of Toronto had picnic at the lake front, mo- toring down to Oshawa from the [Queen City in several large trucks, prominent among which: was one of the mam- moth sight seeing busses so familiar to Toronto residents and visitors, This is by no means the first Toronto organization that has taken advantage of the park to use it as a-plenic grounds and due to the fact that the Parks Commission has decid ed that the park will he free to whatever picnic parties care to use it hereafter, it is not likely that the Dominion Plate Glass will be the last concern to picnic here. The extent of the park, the numerous and well placed shade trees, boating and bathing facilities and the good motor and rail connee- tions with Oshawa's big neigh- bor to the west assure a bright future for Lakeview Park as a Playgrounds of Toronto.

Protestantism is the faith which gives complete emancipation from all human authority," declared Rev. E. T. Cotten, Ph.

Russell Co,, who are supplying the tile the town needs this year. Owing to the increase of business in Oshawa the Canadian Pacific Rail- way finds it necessary to construct an additional siding at their freight yard here. In a letter to Council last night, H. J. Main, superintendent, Toronto, states that owing to limit- od space at the disposal of the C.P. R. that the only suitable location is on the north side of their yard. This would necessitate encroaching om one corner of Station Avenue. Station Avenue is west of Ritson Road ond morth of the C.P.R. It is not a through street and ends at the easterly boundary of the C.P.R. prop- erty.

Councillor ©O. M. Alge waiced his belief that 0 per cent. on the people know mothing about the hill. He avowed that he didnt. Councillor Moffatt wanted to sor everybody in possession of the facts of the case before any action was takem by the council, while Council dor Preston thought that the council should meet with the Water Com missioners and discuss the matter Cowncillor Mason who, during the discussion stated that "the act isn' wonth the paper it is printed on," re marked that very few ave conversant with the hill and that if the council wanted te invoke the measuve they should doe se at the first of the com- ing year, not now.

This Year 4 Decision Reached After a Lengthy Discussion--Board of Works, With Chairman Trick Dissenting, Recom- mended Paving of That Por- tion of Street COURT STREET NOT TO BE PAVED THIS YEAR Coun, Preston Objects to Board of Works Recommending Things to be Done After They Have Already Been Done-- Ray St. Can't be Used as School Playground To pave or not to pave, that was the question, And to pave was the answer. The point under debate was as to whether or not Centre Street between Royal and Fairbanks streets was to be paved this year and the Town Council last night, sitting in committee of the whole on the re- port of the Board of Works, found it a bone of contention. The Board of Works recommend- ed that it be paved. Chairman Trick of the samé¢ Board was against the proposal and Messrs George Garrett, D. Minaker and J. Oshorne, property owners on Centre Street between Royal and Fairbanks streets peti- tioned against the paving. On the other hand Messrs A. Manning and George Arncld and the Schofield Woollen Mills through Mr. C. Scho- field, president, petitioned that Cen- tre Street he paved from Avenue Street to Royal. Councillor Trick in presenting the report of the Board of Works read Clause five recommending the pav- ing of Centre Street from Avenue | Street 10 Fairbanks Street and after the reading of the report moved that Council go into committee of the whele to discuss the report as he himself did mot favor clause five. Council went into committee with Councillor O. R. Burns in the chair. Won't Pave Court Street Clause three in the report recom- mended against the paving of Court Street this year and was the signal for an outburst of discussion, Count Street and district was well repre- sented by a delegation and chief among the speakers for that meigh- borhood were Messrs A. Love, R. W. Dixon, C. Gillard and F. D. Den- nis. After much discussion jit was finally decided to adopt the Board's repent im this matter. Coumcillor Trick assured the delegation that Court Street would be graded up and cinders placed on it this year and the recommendafliion that it he paved first thing next year, seat to the jin- coming council. Upon discussion opening up on the paving of Cenlre Street Councillor Trick stated that he didn't think that the pavement should extend to Fairbanks Street as there is no sami- tary sewer on Centre Street at the present time.
