Cutting down hills on Bloor street, Willingdon ave., and Hill- croft street, y Construction of main storm sewer from Kitchener Ave. to Bloor street, Manufacture of approximately 5,000 feet of concrete tile by hand labor, Construction of a clear well at the pumping station, Construction of various links of 12 inch water main on Howard and Drew streets.

To Cost $200,000 ; The cost of the above works is estimated at $200,000 should it be possible td carry them out to com- pletion, The federal and provin- cial governments will only pay their proportions of the cost of relief work in the ratio of dollar for dol- lar with the city's expenditure and it is thus readily seen that this pro- gram will necessitate a. heavy drain on the city's resources, { The chairman of the board, Mr. Ellis, made it. plain that the gov- ernment favored contributions to- ward the providing of work rather than direct relief. : Incidentally Oshawa is said to be the first city in Ontario which has presented to the government a clear cut program for the solution of #ts unemployment problem.
