The junior O.H.A. team has tho preference for the ice on Monday night, and will meet the Trenton Juniors here in a return O.H.A. game. In Tronton, the local boys won by 4 to 0, and should man- age to repeat tho dose here, But this will also be a grudge game, since the game at Trenton was something of a Donnybrook, and "there is mo love lost between the two teams.

Manager Dave Gill presented a vastly changed line-up in an effort to lift the Senators out of the slump which had tobogganed them into the battom herth in the standing and for the first two periods the play was dominated by the homesters. They shot a goal in each of these periods, Len Grosvenor and Bill Touhey doing the netting on passes from Art (Agne. From the opening whistle of the final frame, however, the Lears forc- ed a hot pace and in the space of five seconds wiped out their opponents' seemingly safe lead. Charlie Con- acher took Joe Primeau's reckless pass to net the first and then Har- vey Jackson tallied from the follow- ing face-off, also on a combination thrust with the slim Primeau, The game Was won by Jackson with five minutes of the game left on a lone dash. NO ACTION TAKEN FOR REDUCTION OF WATER RATES (Continued from page 1) contributions to the utilities' board cach year, Levying 30 percent of the total cost of the waterworks system oper- ation and debentures against the municipality, chargeable to fire pro- tection. This would amount to approximately $33,000, Levying 156 percent of the cost of waterworks operation against the city, with an additional 15 percent next year. This would mean $16.- 600 this year. : Levying 10 percent of the cost of operation against the city, which would make the figure $11,000, and Increasing to 20 percent next year and 30 percent in the third year, City's Position Commissioner Conant declarea that any action besides the proposed revisions in hydrant rentals, was not within the legal powers of the commission. "We have no right to 70 to the city council and say that it must bear an epyrcentage of our operating cost, but we cun charge the city any amount for hydrant rentals we see fit." He added that, in any case, any proposition to have the city bear a certain proportion of the operating costs would involve much dissension as to the amount on which the city should pay its per. centage. Chairman Stacey sald that the present system was not fair to the water users, in that they pald prac- tically the whole cost of fire pros tection. If the fire protection cost wag levied in taxes, it would fall more heavily on the large buildings, which benefited most from the fire protection service. The city was now paying about $12,000 in hyd- rant rentals, while it the engineer's recommendation was carried out and the municipality was charged with 30 per cent. of the cost of the waterworks system operation, this figure would be {increased to $53,000. This 1s approximately two mills on a dollar of the city's assessment, Not (loud Time to Change "The ratepayer will got a reduce tion in his rates by taking tne money from one pocket and putting it into the other," sald Mayor Marks. This year was not a good time to make any increase in hyd- rant rou he said, 'I don't see how we can reduce the water rates, even if we do fo. crease the hydrant rentals," sald Commissioner Mason. "The earn. ings of the system are now back to the 1027 level, when the receipts der present conditions, we do increase the hydrant this amount we could vot reduce bret ou ruts Tad rr © vi tor 1'would ike to see the conmin sion retain the polity of paylpg for capital expenditures. out of vey. GPORT SNAPSHOTQ . This Should Be a Good One Hockey enthusiasts should find tonight's O.H.A. intermediate game just the kind of meat they enjoy. The Port Hope team, while it was defeated by Oshawa in Port Hope, is a scrappy outfit, and, led by Ken, Ware, is liable to cause all kinds of trouble to any team« "Those who were in Port Hope when the teams played there would not miss tonight's game for a tarm, and the crowd should be one of the best of the season. And, incidentally, the intermediates need a crowd. * . . ™ The Juniors, Too That last sentence goes for the junior O.H.A. team as well The kids have been playing wonderful hockey, and beating all comers in a clean-cut fashiy, but the fans have overlooked them, and have been very laggard in their support. This should be remedied on Monday evening, when they play Trenton juniors, one of the smartest teams in the group. The fans:can be sure of seeing a good game from the juniors, and for once we would like to sce a good crowd to give the youngsters some encouragement, wo . \a * When Playoffs Become Farcical There are some situations which make one doubt the effectiveness of the group playoff system, and here is one of them. Ontario, in group No. 10 of the O.H.A,, there are seven teams, Out in Western Wood- stock and Hamilton Pats, are the pick of the group, the Wagon Town team having won eleven games in twelve starts, and the Pats, having won ten, tied one and lost one. Yet, out of the seven teams, six will participate in the playoff for the group title, Paris, in third place, qual- ify, and Kitchener, Preston and Brantford, tied in fourth place, have to battle it out in a series of three sudden death games to decide which will meet Paris to decide which will meet Hamilton or Woodstock to decide which will go on into the O.H.A, semi-finals, There tis. And all because, at thie beginning of the season, it was decided that the four top téams should participate in the group playoffs. So here we have, after a long season, with plenty of games, a playoff series of cight games in all to decide whether Hamilton or Woodstock, the two leading teams, which stand 'head and shoulders above the rest of the group, will go into the semi-finals, If that is a sensible idea of a playoff, they might as well start the group all over again . i J Tonight's Possibilities Today the Oshawa Pats, are tied for the cellar position in the On- tario League, Tonight, they can jump clean up into third place, All they have to do is to defeat the Kitchener Silverwoods on Kitchener fice, providing, ut the same time, the Niagara Falls Cataracts defeat Stratford. That' is how close the race is in the pro. league, and the tans would like to see the Pats, repeat their performance of Wednes- day night, and take that big jump up the league LJ LJ ® . A Surprise for the Curlers The Oshawa Curling Club had when rinks cape from Belleville, the first round of the District Cup competition, a surprise sprung on it yesterday Cobourg and Colborne to play in It was expected that these rinks would meet at Cobourg, on Monday, but Harvey Sproule though that was too long to delay the games, and ordered the rinks to meet here yesterday. And so they met, and the curlers from the little village of Colborne walked away with the honors, defeating Osh- awa in the final round by thrae shots, Oshawa hopes for the district cup. And that puts an end to the enue." Some Heated Comments Chairman Stacey: "That's bull! The city laid a gewer on Ritson road north the year You were mayor, and paid cash for it, and It was torn up next year." Commissioner Mason: "That's not right, There was never any sewer laid while I was mayor torn up for many years afterwards. There was a temporary water main laid and then taken up, but that {s being done every year." It" "od for aml mig! = be a pussage-. a Incident passed. A motion that the hydrant rentals be $76 per year and that the matter of nu reduction in water rates be de. ferred until after the April 1 bill ing was moved by Mr. Conant, but it was not seconded. A similar fate met a motion of Commissioner Allchin that 15 per cent of the cost of the waterworks system be charged agalust the city for fire protection, and that next year this figure be ralsed to 30 per cent., the matter of a rate reduction an if there us, but the to bo considered after the next bill- ing. In fact, the only motion that did get a seconder was that by Commis. sioner Conant and Mayor Marks that the discussion be adjourned to next meeting. $55,000 VOTED FOR NEW BUILDING (Continued from page 1) any time they become necessary. It will have a ceiling height of nine feet, thus complying with the De- partment of Labor regulations cov- ering basements used for office pur. poses. Three vaults will be install. ed In the building. Speaking briefly on the project last night Commissioner G. D. Con- ant said that now was the proper time to build. He woud like the building completed as goon as pos- sible.

Offer to Buy Out Senators For $100,000 Ottawa, Jan. 30.---An offer of $100,000 for the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club was reported made last night while Senators were engaged in a losing National Hockey Lea- gue tilt with Toronto Maple Leafs. Harold Code, Ottawa lawyer, stated he had made the offer for a cer: tain client or clients, but officers of the club did not confirm his statement. The price is the one which the present club-owners have indicated would meet thelr demands If the purchasers continue to operate the team here. If the offer is accepted which Is dependent on more or less minor details, it would means the team would remain in the capital. ONLY GOAL WINS Pittsburgh, Jan. 30.--~There was a single goal caged in last night's International Hockey League game Yetween Pittsburg and Buffalo and that lone tally gave victory to the Bisons, 1 to 0. It came with only 30 seconds left in the third period, the accomplishment of Martin, as- sisted by Lederman. And it was the fifth time this season--only a tie interrupting the streak---that the league leaders have taken the Yellow Jackets into camp. Chairman Stacey eoncurred in this view. The Commission had the money, he sald, and it was an opportune time to. build, for prices were now comparatively low. In addition, the electric and gas divis- fons would have to find new quar- ters in November, when their lease ran out, and the new building should be completed before that date to allow them to move into it. The motion of Commissioners Mason and Conant, which carried, wan! "That the commision appropriate on total sum not exceeding $65,000 for land, building, equipment and all expenses in the erection of a Puble Utilities building. "That this commission approves the plang dated January 20, 1931, asement head room to be nine feet. "That the chairman submit plans and proposals to the Hydro Elec tric Power Commission for approv- al forthwith; "That the archiect be instructed to proceed with working plans and specifications if and as soon as the H.E.P.C. approves." MORE LIGHT ON DISASTER St. John's, Nfld., Jan. 30.--Ex. ception to the opinions of those who saw the stranded hull of the schooner Warren M. Colp after the wreck at Burnt Point, Bay do Verde, and expressed the view that if her crew of six had remain- ed on board until the sea went down, four of thelr number would not have been lost, is taken by Captain John P. Horwood, veteran sulling master of St. John's. The Warren M. Colp was lost in Conception Bay ou December 15 and an the following day witnesses sald men could walk around her fu rubber boots, so low was the water. "Some men declare that if peo ple would stay by their vessels longer than they usually do in times of shipwreck. there would not be so many men lost," notes Captain Horwood in the Evening Telegram. "1 cannot substantiate such a statement, simply because I have known so many men lost who waited for a "better chance to get ahore in times of disaster. 1 wonder if tho master or crew of the Warren M, Colp knew the depth of water around Gull Island when the jumped from the bow. sprit to that island rock? Did they know whether there were three fa. thoms of twenty-three fathoms un der that cliff where sbe drifted in? If it were deep enough she would eventually sink out of sight, as many others did." Captain ,Horwood points to mavy wrecks as evidence bearing Oshawa Rinks Defeated In Final Round After Winning From Belleville . Cobourg, Belleville and Col- borne Rinks Were Order- ed to Come to Oshawa Yesterday to Play Off First "Round Games in District Cup Competition Ordered by tho powers that be to get their first round games in the District Club played off in a hurry, rinks from Cobourg, Col- borne and Belleville, landed at the Oshawa Curling rink last night, and, along with the Oshawa rinks, played off the round, with tho Col- borne rink coming out on top and qualifying to go to Toronto at a lator date to meet fifteen other clubs in the final playoffs for the cup. Play in the cup competition lasted all afternoon and evening and when the final stone had been laid, it found the two Oshawa rinks skipped by W. Holland and W. A. Haro just three shots behind tho Colborne players in the final game. In the first round, Oshawa had little difficulty in disposing of two rinks from Belleville, winning by twenty shots, while the two rinks from Colborne defeated {the Co- bourg rinks by nine shots. The final games between Oshawa and Colborne were watched by a large gallery of spectators and when it was seen that the result was going to bo closo, there wan keen excitement and every stone wad watched with much {interest as it made its way down Lhe ice W. A. Hare's rink went down by a score of 20 to 8 before that of Mr. Mayhew, bbut in the other «ame, W. Holland's rink nut a great fight against Mr, Edward's rink and just fell short of securing a big enough lead to win the round. The scores in the competi. tion were as follows: First Round Bellevyille Harden ... Pitney Oshawa W. A. Hare W. Holland .. 34 18 16 Cobourg Mitchell | . Lucas . Colborne Mayhew .... 24 Edwards ... 12 Final Colborne Mayhew Edwards .. Oshawa Haro ... «:s 8 Holland .... 20 Total 28 out his contention. When the Bonnie Lass struck at Pouch Cove four of his crew wera lost. The captain's brother and anotfier ron man jumped from the bow without delay and were saved. The schoon. or Hopewell way lost on Biseayan Island in 1875. One man jump- ed to a rock and was saved, the other seven going down with the vessel. The writer refers to many other sea tragedies of moro recent date, and referring to the Warren M. Colp asserts that "in my humble opinion these men were lost, like many others, because they were overtaken by a snowstorm and tried to get into Conception Bay for shelter, but were unacquainted with the bay." Captain Horwood points out that there is not a harbor on the north- west sido of the bay from Daca. leu to Carbonear, a distance of 26 miles of coast, exposed to rough weather, Nor is there a haven from Cape St. Francis to Holyrood, 28 miles, on the southeast side. "Be it far from mo," ho con. cludes, 'to make any statement as to what time master mariners should abandon ship, when all sensible men know that that de pends on the surrounding ecircume- stances in time of trouble." Presentation Made Trenton.--~At the annual congre- gational meeting of King Street United Church, at Trenton, Mr. Ar. nold Campbell was presented with a writing desk by the official bourd of the church, An address was read by Mr. D.
