After os Hours--Phone 358 'REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON Gas Concern Said to be Seeking Franchise in The Town of Whitby Representatives Visited Whitby Recently and Approached Town Officials--Would Lay Gas Mains on Local Streets and Employ Local Labor -- Expected That Company Will Interview Town Council at an Early Date Representatives of a large gas manufacturing and distributing con- cern, with headquarters in the United States, recently paid a visit to Whitby and talked with some members of the Council regarding the securing of a franchise to lay mains on the streets and sell gas for lighting and cooking purposes, The who were accompanied by Mz. Frank L. Mason, of Oshawa, a mem- ber of the Public Utility Commis. gion of that city, are said to have been connected with the company which is' now seeking to.purchase the gas plant at Oshawa. Employ Local Labor Although the proposal of the gas concern has not come officially be- fore the Council, it is learned that the men promised to employ only lo- cal labor while gas mains were be- ing laid on local streets, also to ex- pend several thousand dollars in the town while the mains were being laid. They would be extended from Oshawa, it was learned, Something was said about the establishment of a coke plant in Oshawa, from which, it was pointed out, Whitby might benefit, If the gas com urposes seek- ing a franchise fs Whitby, it is im- probable that anything will be done until the Yelohayors of Oshawa on March 21 decide if they want to sell the Hlant there now being eperated by the Public Utility Commission, and Sorshased by that body from the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission. Compete With P, U. C. While a great many citizens be- lieve that gas would be an asset to the town in more ways than one, there are others who think that the company would be a strong com- petitor of the Publie Utility Come mission in the matter of power sup- ply for lighting and cooking. There are many electric ranges In the town, and the bringing of gas to Whitby would open u a sale for gas ranges and cooking plates, which might take revenue from the local Commission. Some years ago another Ameri- can Corgpany approached the town with a view to getting a franchise, but while negotiations were under- taken with the Council nothing came of the proposition. Plant for Bowmanville Down in Bowmanville the Utili- ties Power and Light Corporation of Chicago is seeking a franchise for the establishment of a gas plant in that town. The company's represent. atives will meet the Town Couneil on March 2nd. The eompany is one of the largest of its kind in the world, and 18 an international utilities cor- poration operat: electric, water and gas plants in Great Britain and the United States. The mpd Jrosise to expend thousands of dol- ars in the town, and to employ men permanently in the operation of their plant. The proposition is looks ed upon with much favor in Bow. manville, RELIEF BILLS IN JANUARY WERE LESS THAN IN 1930 Relief Organization of Valu- able Assistance to the Council The amount of money expended by the' Town of Whitby, through the Relief Committee of the Council, during the month of January, 1081, was considerably less than in the same month last year, according to figures obtained in the town clerk's office. The town will therefore be unable to collect anything from the government for excgss relief. Pres- ent indications are that the month of February will show similar re- sults, as the number of applicants for relief is not so great. Last win- ter the town expended as high as $300 a month on relief. There + are several contributing factors to the lower Council relief bills this year. One is that local re- lief organizations are giving atten- tion to more calls than ever before. These include the Whitby Post of the Canadian Legion, Christmas Cheer and Welfare Fund, Samaritan Committee of the V.O.N,, and vari- ous church and fraternal organiza. tions. Most men will go to one or all of these organizations rather than apply to the town. Another factor is the amount of work provided by the town for needy men. Fhe average man out of work, it hag been found, prefers a job to a dole, It is expected, however, that with work slowing up, the demands for relief on the town will become reater, As a matter of fact they Pho become greater during the past ten days.

E. Berry, directors of the Sanitary Engineering Division, will be on hand to speak and give any necessary information, The Whitby Board of Health, as previously pointed out in these col- umns, has recommended through the M.O.H. that a bylaw be passed by the council compelling all milk ven- dors in Whitby to sell only a pas- teurized product. At present 75 per cent, of milk delivered in the town is pasteurized, and the Board. feci that it should be general owing to the increasing danger from contamiii- ution through disease in cattle herds As the question is a very important cne, Council feels that before any ae tion is taken it should get all the tacts, The Board of Health can only recommend the bylaw, the Council alone can pass it, Representatives from the city of Belleville, where the question is also a live one, are coming up to WTithy on Friday night to attend the meet. ing, 4s they too are seeking informa tion which the government officials are able to give BIBLE SOCIETY ANNUAL WFETING Will Be Held on March 4th in All Saints' Church Next Wednesday evening, March 4th, in All Saints' Church, the an- nual meeting of the Whitby Branch of the Bible Society will be held, at 8 o'clock.

BUTCHERS STILL LEADING IN THE TOWN HOCKEY LEAGUE The Butchers still retain the su premacy in the Whitby Town Hoc key League, with the Tuxis run- ning for second place, Thera are only a few games now to be played before the championship fs docid- ed. On Tuesday night the ice was #0 soft at Burn's Arena that two scheduled games could not be played. JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM OFFICIAL DESERVES CREDIT Tho financing of the Junior Hockey team which played in the O.H.A. for Whithy this year has been no easy task. It never was, The team this year received very little support, the attendance at the games being discouraging to the team managers. To Jack J, King, gocrotary-treasurer and managor, is due much credit for piloting the team out of its fl nancial difficulties. Old bills have been pald op and new expenditures nearly all met. Mr. King takes a great deal of Interest in junior hockey and it is largely due to his efforts that the team this year f the support given junior hockey this year is any criterion of the future, the team management might as well shut up shop, WHITBY CRIBBAGE CLUB HAS OVER FORTY MEMBERS The game of cribbage is popular in Whitby.
