C. Smith declared that incineration was the proper method for the dis- posal of garbage, and recommended that an incinerator be built with four cells of capacity of ten tons each. This would cost about $39, 000, and if only three cells were placed in the initial installation, about $35,000. The annual cost of disposal of garbage would be then about $18,500 per year, or about $6,600 more than at the present time, the report said. The report was as follows: To his worship the Mayor, and Aldermen of 'the city council of Oshawa, Pursuant to your request for a report on the disposal of garbage by : incineration, the following is submitted. In order 'to arrive at an inteln gent figure for the cost of incinera- tion, it has been necessary to as- sume a location for the plant. This has been taken as on the west bank of the small creek running through the valley on the property belong- ing to the city, and about 500 feet south of Kitchener avenue, where the city dump is now situated. The city now has a population of about 25,000 people, and an av- erage daily garbage collection, ex- clusive of ashes, etc., of about 15 tons per day, with periodical peaks of considerably more. It would therefore be essenial to provide for at least two 10-ton comblstion cells with provision for duplicating the capacity of the plant, which means the provision of space in the build- ing for four 10-ton cells with stack and major auxiliary plant to suit such a capacity. In view of the rapid development of the city, I would recommend that the plant be built to accommo- date four 10-ton cells, three to be built in initial installation. Such a plant complete with building cap- able of accommodating four cells, including stack 1265 feet high, tim- ber ramp to charging level. motor and blower, regeneration chamber, office and lavatory accommodation for operators, and other incidental equipment, would cost about $35,~ 000. A similar plant with only two cells installed, would reduce the initial cost by about $4,000, and the additional installation of the fourth cell would add about $4,000 to the cost. The fixed charges on such a plant would be about $3,500 per year on the basis of 5 per cent, 16-year debentures. The repairs and renewals to the plant would amount to about $500 per year. Wages for operating. the plant would amount to $2,200 per year. Power and light, fuel, etc.. would amount to $300 per year. aking an annual total of fixed charges of $3,600 and annual operating costs of $3,000, or a total annual cost of $6,500. Reducing the above costs to a tonnage basis, assuming an average destruction of 15 tons of garbage per day or 4500 tons per year, a cost of $1.45 per ton is indicated. In addition to the above costs there is, of course, the cost of col- lecting separately the garbage and wastes' suitable for handling through the destructor, and also the ashes and other unburnable wastes from dhe city. This col- lection at the present time. costs Kiwanis Club Will Sponsor Junior Farmers Section of Oshawa Fall Exhibition Many New Classes Opened For Competition by Boys Up to 16 Years in Pickering, Whitby, East Whitby and Darlington Townships--Short Course at O.A.C, d Silver Trophy Offered as Special Prizes -- Livest Judging Competition to Be Held A new section of the Oshawa Fall Fair, for junior farmers, will be es- tablished this year by the co-opera- tion with the South Ontario Agri- cultural Society of the Oshawa Ki- wanis Club, it was announced today by A.

Will Open Large Branch Here About April 1 of Next Year ANOTHER LITTLE AD BRINGS RESULTS Mark Hill, of 318 Ritson road north, yesterday had demonstrated to him the ef- fectiveness of classified ad- vertising in The Oshawa Daily Times. Yesterday morning, he gave orders that a small ad- vertisement, announcing that he had a McLaughlin Touring Car for sale, to be inserted in The Timeg for three consecu- 'tive days. This morning he again called to ask that tha second and third insertions be cancélled. The first little ad had done the trick, for last night, within a very short time of the publication of the paper, thdBear was sold. This is just another {instance to show that classified advertis- ing in The Times brings re- sults.

M. Germond, D. J. Brown, and R. B. Reed Will Be Converted Into One Large Store Early in 1930 The Metropolitan Stores Limited of Canada, large chain variety store organization, with branches in practically every city of the Dos minion will locate in Oshawa in the near future, having leased the ground floor and basement of a three-storey building situated on King street west, immediately ad- joining the Dominion Bank bulld- ing, and owned by Corinthian Lodge, Independent Order of Odd- fellows. Thus another large mer- cantile corporation has shown its faith in the future of the city; both as an Industrial centre and retail distributing point, For some time it had been rum- ored that the Metropolitan Stores were negotiating to locate a branch here but the lease is now register~d ed in the county registry office at Whity and it appears that nego- tiations have been brought to a head. The company rents the ground floor and basement, the lease being dated from April 1, 1930, to Aprft 1, 1940, and is subject to a renewal for a further ten year period. Local trustees of Corinthian Lodge admit the lease has been made but decline to make any statement.
