THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1929 PAGE THREE Rotary Club's A n and Damages Against City of Oshawa - ¢ Sought By Daniel Fudge Hearing of Interesting Case] Involving the City Dump on Ritson Road South, Has Been in Progress for Last Two Days OBJECTED TO ODORS AND FLIES FROM DUMP Case Adjourned Until Next Saturday When 'Argu- ment For Foth' Sides in Action Will Be Heard by Judge Thompson (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Yon 15--~An action for damages and an injuction restraining the city from continding operation of a dump on Ritson Road south; was heard in county civil court this week before Judge J. Thompson, the plain- tiff being Daniel Fudge, of 290 Kit- chener Avenue, Oshawa, and the de- fendants, the Municipal Corporation of the City of Oshawa. Evidence in the case lasted for two days and was only closed yesterday afternoon. Arguments by the counsels for the plaintiff and defendants will not be heard' until next Saturday morning, June 22, at 11 o'clock. J. P. Mangan appeared for Fudge while City Solic- itor J. F. Grierson acted on behalf of the corporation, Plaintiff's Claim The plaintiff attempted to prove that since the establishment of the city dump in 1926 on Ritson road south, his property, which is situated south and west of the dump, depre- ciated in value, The dump he con- tended was a nuisance, a breeder of flies and also the cause of many ob- noxious odors. He claimed that he purchased his property without know- ledge that the city ever intended locating a dump in the vicinity, He had intended to keep roomers but on account of the proximity of the dump and the obnoxious odors, no one wished to' occupy his rooms. Two witnesses testified that they had stayed at the Fudge home for a period but later left on account of the objectionable dump. Other residents of the vicinity in- cluding Joseph Sullivan, Mike Kawa- la and J. Thomas testified for the plaintiff that the dump was a nuis- ance and also a detriment in the sale "of their property. Plaintiff also claimed that the health of his wife and children had been affected by the odors from the dump. He contended that they often suf- fered from severe headaches whereas when they had lived away from the dump, they had not been subject to this type of ailment. Fudge told the court that it had cost him considerable money to pur- chase fly paper and fly tox in order to combat the flies which he claimed were bred in large numbers in the garbage and other refuse. The Defence Case Witnesses for the defence included City Engineer Smith and employees of the city disposal department. The defence attempted to establish' the fact that when the spot had been fill- ed in it would 'add to the value of the property owned by Fudge and others. It was shown that this could be accomplished within a year. Defense witnesses testified that proper methods were taken in dis- posal of the garbage and that there was little odor from the dump. The case was featured by several! sharp passages at arms between the counsels, and His Honor was called upon several times to decide upon points of procedure.

The Chevrolet Coach as First Prize, the Radio outfit as Secc- ond Prize, and the De Luxe Picnic outfit as Third Prize appeal to the taste of everyone.

At least classes are now terminated for those who passed on their term's work. Well over half of the students who have attended public school dur- ing the vear are now enjoying their first holidays and will not be required to again take up the scholl-bag until the fifth of September. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon these pupils who knuckled down to serious study during the school year walked out of school doors to "free- dom" as Some put it and they didn't mind the noise of the door as it closed behind them. For the lower classes, the routine of study is but a new venture which provides inter- esting exploration along new chan- nels, while to the older pupils avho have long ago been initiated into the secrets of division and multiplication, the end of the school term approaches altogether too slowly. Yes sir, pupils in general are happy that they may now get up when they feel inclined, loll around the swimming hole and obtain a magnificent brown over'their shoulders and arms and satisfy their thirst with cool water from the spring in the woods. a great satisfaction to those who yesterday left the old school, in knowing that when they do go back to classes in the Fall, they will be one grade higher than when they left them. Although there are still examinations to try for the ones who didn't pass on terms' work, they too will epjoy the holidays when it comes time for them to leave the school. And when these students too, leave the comparatively cramped quarters of a desk and an aisle and four walls, for the open fields and quict streams, there will remain behind them the solitary biuldings situated in different parts of the city where they labored during the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. Noiscless corridors, rooms no long- er re-echoing to the shuffling of children's feet, manual training benches, silent after months of the taps of hammer and buzz of the saw, pianos standing like solemn tribute to the God of Music, now beginning a term of incarceration following con- viction by pupils -- school is closed until September, There is QUICK ASSISTANGE HALTED TRAGEDY; VICTIMS RECOVER Sons and Neighbors of Mrs. Woolacott Gave Timely Aid Yesterday Mrs. Howard Woolacott and her sons Ross and Lawrence who yester- day morning were rendered uncon- scious from the effects of gas fumes whiclr circulated through their home at 253 Albert street about 7.45 &'clock, were stated this morning to have fully recovered from their terrible exper- ience. Yesterday noon the boys had come out of the stupor in splendid form but Mrs. Woolacott who has been ill for some tinte was slow to rally irom the deadly effects of the gas. Dr. Brown who attended the three used every effort to bring his patients around with plenty of fresh air, the cffect of the gas was soon overcome, The quick action of Ross Woolacott inopening the windows and closing the gas jets which had been turned on, and the ready response of neigh- bors, probably saved the lives of the three who were unconscious when Mrs. G. W. Wilson of 257 Albert street, a.neighbor, found them in Mrs. Woolacott's room. The gaseous vapor was quite thick in the room at the time. A Correction Mrs, Wilson had been summoned the home by Ross Woolacott, she realizing the circum- stances which were prevalent, quickly got in touch with Reginald Brown, Mrs. Woolacott's brother, who sum- moned a physician and removed the stricken ones to the fresh air. It was stated in yesterday's report of the occurance that Mrs, Wilson had in- tended doing some baking for Mrs. Woolacott. The name should have been Mrs. Woolacott, as it was she who had the intention of baking, be- cause her boys were going to the Albert Street School picnec held Although 1o C. KE.

The presence of mind of Ross and the assistance of Mrs. Wilson were probably responsible for averting a tragedy.

Every day sees some new feature added to the plans, all of which are directed towards making the enter- tainment features and attractions of the fair the greatest ever seen here, and towards making the fair itself a great success. Much has already been said regard- ing the worthy objects which are be- hind the holding of the street fair, of the work which the Rotary Club is doing on behalf of the crippled and under- priveleged children of the city, in maintaining the Red Cross Cottage at the Lake, and in providing a splen- did recreation and community centre for the people and children of the city in Rotary Hall and Park. All of these activities are financed by the Street Fair, and for this reason the Rotarians are working as never be- fore to leave no stone unturned ta ensure a great night and a highly successful fair from every stand- point, A New Stunt A new stunt, and one which should arouse much interest, has been ar- ranged by the publicity committee, This afternoon, at Alexandra Park, five hot air balloons are to be re- leased. These are large colored bal- loons, and they arc known to rise a great height and travel long dis- tances. Attached to each balloon will be an envelope and a message of ex- planation, telling their purpose, and also containing a bundle of ten tick- ets for the grand prize drawing in which a Chevrolet coach is to be giv- en as first prize. The stubs of these tickets will be placed in the box for the drawing by Judge Thompson, and the persons finding the balloons when' they land on the earth after their flight will have the privilege of keeping these tickets, and will thus have ten chances each on the automobile. They are requested, how- ever, to let the chairman of the pub- licity committee, M, McIntyre Hood, wishes to thank the Chairman of the local Commission for the report and expression of good will that accom- panies the cheque.
