Every Municipality In York and Ontario Counties Rep- resented At Highland Creek ~Minister Of Public Works and Highways Is Given Congratulations IS IMPORTANT LINK IN HIGHWAY CHAIN Despite the fact that the weather was of a threatening nature, rain falling at intervals, close to 500 spectators on Thursday afternoon journeyed to the new viaduct over Highland Creek to witness the of- ficial opening by the Hon. F. C Biggs, Provincial Minister of Public Works, The attendance was at once a per- sonal tribute to the Hon, Mr. Biggs and, the vigorous good roads policy which he has pursued since attaining office in the fall of 1919. Accompanying the Hon, Mr, Biggs were W. A, McLean, Deputy Minister of Public Works, and Hon, J. L. Per- ron, Provincial Minister of Public Works of the Province of Quehee, When the Hon, Mr. Biggs find party arrived at the viaduct there was no doubt that they were very agreeably surprised at the whole- hearted reception accorded them. As their motor car was driven on the bridge a cheer went up and the enthusiastic crowd surged around the Minister while friends and acquaintances pressed eagerly forward to grasp the hand of the man who---even his most ardent critics will admit--has the courage of his convictions, as once having decided upon an undertaking he car- ries it out despite all opposition. Every municipality in York and Ontario counties was represented officially, In addition hundreds of business men from Oshawa and ad- jacent towns and villages were on hand. Over 100 automobiles were Thunderstruck b Growth of Oshawa Proposing the toast to the municipalities, Mayor Brun- ton, of York county, said that it was difficult to understand the change in the complexion of men's minds which had oe- curred during the last 25 years, 'When [ was a young man I was almost mobhhed by a number of irate citizens, when I dared to advocate a scheme for procur- biles while not a single horse drawn vehicle was seen, "Do you know," said Major Brunton, "that when I arrived in Oshawa today that' I was thunderstruck at the remark- able growth of and improve- ment in the town during the past few years, Your business men are splendid ones, your store fronts are heautiful and in addition Oshawa is the cen- tre of the Canadian automo- bile industry, The town should develop into a great city," DEALER GLAIMS HE WAS GIVEN Claims Council counted at:the scene of the cele- | bration, i Owing to the fact that the Warden | of York County was a little late in | arriving Warden F. H. Richardson, | of Ontario County, was called upon to introduce the Hon. Mr. Biggs and | the Hon. Mr. Perron. The bridge] itself is in York County but the fact | that Ontario County will equally benefit by it was shown by the large number of people who were in at-| tendance from this county. Warden's Address In a brief address Warden Rich- ardson explained the objects of the gathering at the viaduet. In open- ing he humorously remarked that the people of the two counties would receive the benefit of the bridge aie the government would have fthe pleasure of paying for it. He {expressed his thanks to the Minister of Public Works for the despatch in which the bridge has been erected. He was glad that such a handsome een built. He char- a eredit to both the , the province and the Dominion The viaduct is 650 feet long and 100 feet high at its apex. Following the Warden's address of introduction Hon. Mr. Biggs de- clared the viaduet officially open to traffic to all who desired to use it. In a brief address he stated that the viaduct eliminated one of the most dangerous hills between Toronto aad Montreal. He expressed his pleasure at .the wonderful turnout and remarked on the contrast at some other openings, saying that at some of them people had not turned out at all. He stated that before his depart- ment had decided to erect this bridge the officials had been con- stantly approached by Warden Rich- ardson who each time advocated that a viaduct be erected here. "Finally," said Hom. Mr. Bigger. "for the sake of peace wel decided to go ahead with the work. (Laughter). And last March when Mr. Richard- son again walked into my office I drew the plans and specifications out of a drawer and confronted him with them. And this viaduct is the re- sult. We advertised the work for one month and then let two con- tracts in May. And now on the 14th day of November it is open to traf- fic, which I think is a creditable performance, ' (applause). Continu- ing Mr. Biggs said: "I am glad to add this, another link, in the great highway system of the province. It is merely a repetition of what is going ou in other sections of On- tario. We hope to have the road from Oshawa to Toronto completed early next year." c Hon. J. L. Perron, Provincial Mini- ster of Public Works of Quebec, was then introduced to the crowd. He congratulated the Hon. Mr. Biggs on the fine structure that had been erected. "When the Trans-Contin- ental highway is constructed the people of the two great provinces will e¢ross this bridge many times," he said.

W. Dixon, of Dixon and Son. states that he bas been given authority by the couneil's fuel com- mittee to buy coal and sell it as cheaply as he can, the price he men- fixed by the commissioner, Councillor W. J. Trick, chairman of the fuel committee, stated defin- itely to The Reformer today that no such permission had been granted Mr. Dixon or any other dealer and that any dealer selling above the price set by Commissioner Ellis would do so at his own responsibil- ity. Questioned as to what action the committee would take were the deal- ers to violate the commissioner's rul- ing, Mr. Trick stated that he was not prepared to say. In the meantime, he said, the committee would con- tinue to buy coal for the citizens of Oshawa. | According to the statement issued yesterday afternoon by Mr. Dixon, the cost of line company coal laid down in Oshawa is $15.85 per ton and independent coal $17.25 per ton. Up to the present time he had received only two cars of line coal although he had been promised 350 tons per month. Will Fill Orders The orders which he had taken to be filled at $16 per ton would be filled at that price from .shipments of line coal as they came in, he said, but added that all coal sold at $16 was at a loss, and that after the or- ders he had taken at that price were filled at that price he would be com- pelled to charge $18 per ton. While he would still lose money on inde- pendent coal, he would be able to make up that loss on line coal. While line coal cost $8.15 a ton at the mines, the freight to Oswego brought the price up to $10.65 per net ton. The expense of holding the boat there for seven days was $1.50 per ton, brimging the boat to Co- bourg increased the cost by $2 a ton, unloading cost 35 cents a ton and the freight to Oshawa was $1.35 a ton. These figures, Mr. Dixon stated, were absolutely correct. - ent eoal at the mines cost $14. The freight rates from Cobourg to Osh- awa were much too high, he aver- red, stating that by rail the freight charge from Charlotte to Cobourg was $1.15. : "I have nine cars of coal on the way from Cobourg »t the present time, and the boat has returned to Oswego for another cargo," Mr. Dix- on said. "This coal is costing $15.85 to land it in Oshawa." gatherings ever held in this section of the province. En ran high all evening.

Bak- er, College Avenue, College Hill, be- came overheated yesterday after- noon, wood which had heen piled directly underneath them became ignited, and for a time threatened to result in a serious fire. Mrs. Baker, however, noticing the danger before the wood burst into flame, immedi- ately sent in a call for the fire bri- gade. The fireman arrived at the residence in a few minutes and were able to prevent amy damage being one. MANY CONTINUE 70 JOIN CLASSES The number of students taking advantage of the industrial night classes which are now .in progres: has almost reached the two hundred mark. Last night quite a number were enrolled and some more are e tonight. The English class which is being conducted by Miss G. L.

"Whatever may he the cost," said the speaker in opening, "I am one of those who helieves that the two great metropolitan cities of Toron- to and Montreal should he conneet- ed with a fine highway.

This was a personal tribute to Mayor John Stacey, of Osh- lawa, who acted as toastmaster and {to Warden FP. H. Richardson, of On- itario -county,. and Deputy Reeve 'Frank L.

The festivities marked the offieial lopening of the Highland Creek. via- duct on Tuesday afternoon by Hon, Mr. Biggs. This viaduct removes {the last serious obstacle to traffic between Toronto and Montreal.
