After Busincss Hours--Phone 358. 'REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON Whitby Electors to Vote on Gas Franchise By-law on Saturday, May 16 th The electors of Whitby will on Sat- urday, May 16th, go to the polls to vote on the question of granting Ben E, Tate and his associates of the newly incorporated Ontario Shore Gas Company, Limited, an exclusive franchise for the distribution and sale of gas in the town for a period of thirty-five years, This was decided by the Town Council on Monday even- ing when the gas franchise bylaw and attached agreement was given two readings and when a second bylaw was passed setting up the machinery for taking the vote of the.eclectors and naming the location of the poll- ing places and officers in charge. The gas franchise bylaw was intro- duced by Coun, Fred T. Rowe, chair- man of the Property Committee, and the bylaw to appoint polling places, deputy returning officers and poll clerks by Coun. J. H. Ormiston, chairman of the committee on appli« cations. Following a clear and concise an- alysis of franchise agreement by Gor- don D. Conant, counsel for Ben. E, Tate and the Lakeshore Gas Com- pany, and the hearing of representa- tions made by members of the Cham- ber of commerce special committee comprising President F, H. M. Irwin, Vice-president W. A. Holliday, and secretary-treasurer A. E. Kearney Council by a unanimous vote in com- mittee of the whole decided to take the vote of the electors on the bylaw and agreement. All Demands Met Mr. Conant stressed that all of the suggestions made by the council a- bout a month ago had been embodied in the revised agreement. These in- cluded the change from fifty to thir- ty-five years in the life of the fran- chise, the incorporation of a schedule showing the area in which the coms pany will lay gas mains in the town after construction work is commenc- ed here; a penalty cause as suggest ed by the town solicitor which fur- ther safeguards the town's interests, and a clause which sets forth that during construction of mains Whitby labor shall be employed, Touching on the price of gas to Whitby consumers, Mr. Conant pointed out that the company would have to expend a great deal of money, fifty thousand dollars alone in mains and other necessary equipment in 'Whitby before a foot of gas was sold. This amount did not include the cost of piping the gas to itby from Oshawa. Mr. Conant pointed out that in towns like Port Hope and Cobotirg where old plants were in operation under charters which" dated back to the days before Confederation, gas was being sold at over two dollars per thousand feet. The wonder 'was, he stated, that they had succeeded for so long in these towns with high prices prevailing. The question of competition with the Public Utility Commission was another point touched upon by Mg. Conant. Briefly he opined that +e Ontario Shore Gas Company could not possibly become a competitor with the P,U.C, unless it was able to THE SALVATION ARMY MUSICAL CRUSADERS A brigade of 20 officers from Toronto--all musicians --a brass octette--vocal party--- stringed orchestra--destric- tive dialogue--"The Beauti- ful City". Tonight----8 p.m. Silver Offering sell gas for cooking purposes at the low price Whitby was fortunate to be paying for electricity. Mr. Conant low price Whitby was fortunate in the rate it was paying for electricity. Mr. Conant pointed out that it cost a great deal more to instal an electric range, particularly where houses had to be rewired, than it did for a gas range. This fact curtailed sale of elec tric ranges. Mr. Conant thought that the introduction of gas for cooking purposes would mean a saving to '"e Public Utility Commission and its customers inasmuch as the peak load, caused by electric ranges principally during the noon hour, on which the town's payment to the Hydro f-r power was now based, would be con- siderably reduced. He was certain that gas would prove an asset to the town both from the standnoint of at- tracting manufacturers and residents, The fact that the town was not he- ing asked to put up a cent in connec- tion with the taking of the vote, or the installation of the plant, was stressed. If the people did not wish to use the gas after it was laid on the strects of the town the cas-~ay alone would be the loser. Mr. Conant, touching on. a point raised by Mr, W. A. Holliday, of the Chamber of Commerce, as to the pos- sibility of the Consumers' Gas Com- pany, 'of Toronto, a Canadian con- cern, which now proposed to extend its service to Pickering, serving the town of Whitby, Mr. Conant for sev- eral reasons thought that it was very remote. He pointed out that three years ago the conipany had declined to consider extending their service from Toronto with Oshawa on the end of the line, and during that per- iod the company had never opened negotiations looking totvard extend- ing their service to this extent. It was pointed out that a twenty-two mile extension would be necessary to serve Whitby, and the company would have to secure franchises and agreements in every municipality it passed through. Mr. Conant assured the council that the 'Ontario «Shore Gas Com- pany, Limited, would carry out to the letter all of its undertakings, Its directors were men of integrity, and the company by virtue of its exten- sive public utilities serving many places in the United States, Canada and Great Britain, employed men who know their business. Mr. Con- ant stated that he was able to give to the council this assuranec after a personal investigation, J: T. Milner, representing the On- tario Shore Gas Company, who ac- companied Mr, Conant, addressed the council, giving some valuable inform- ation and answering several ques- tions. Chamber of Commerce Speakers Members of the Chamber of Com- merce committee who addressed the Council confessed that Mr. Conant had given them a great deal of useful information, and had cleared up sev- eral points raised since the Bylaw was first discussed. Mayor Bowman, on behalf of the council, thanked the members of the Chamber of Commerce for the inter- est they had displayed in so import- ant a question, and for the valuable assistance they had been to the coun- cil. Thanks were also extended to Mr, Conant and Mr. Milner, At the sugegstion of Mr. Conant Mayor Bowman ramed a special committee of the reeve, deputy-reeve and Coun. Rowe to look over cer- tain advertising which it was propos- ed to insert in the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle dealing with the bylaw and agreement.

Marjorie Allin, Lewis Trull, and munity Hall--Joseph Wilson, D.R.O, PRESS, AUDIENCE EXCLUDED FROM COUNCIL CHAMBER (Continued from page 1) Donald, leader of the unemployed and candidate for the wmayoralty last year. It is reported that En- gineer Smith is taking legal action against McDonald. "No lawsuit has been brought against me,' 'McDonald informed The Times last night, "but I hope there will be. Then I will get a chance to say something." Vague Report It was a vague report which Ald. Hawkes submitted last night and which precipitated the exciting events that followed. As chairman of the committee of the whole he merely explained that the commit- tee could come to no agreament on a certain matter which had been referred to it and begged further orders from the council. "What matter do you refer to?" Ald, Macdonald demanded. Ald. Hawkes replied that his re- port had been necessarily vague as he did not know whether the com- mittee wished to have the question made public. He then explained, however, that the matter referred to three letters which made charges against certain civic officials, "We held three meetings and we could come to no agreement," he added. / "We must decide this thing and bring it to a climax," Ald. Macdonald stated. '""We want a di- rect investigation but nothing is done. Surely this city council is big enough to grapple with this thing. We should clean it up and I will move that the council go into committee of the whole on the matter right now." The motion was carried Mayor Marks then asked Hawkes to take the chair, Whispered - conversations fol- lowed on the part of the aldermen and all eyes were directed to the scribes at the reporters' desk. It was obvious that something was "In the air" and that the council was uneasy. 'The first question to decide," Ald. Hawkes announced, 'is wheth- er we wish the press to remain while the council is in committee." Immediately Ald. Macdonald jumped to his feet and demanded that the whole business be thrown open and the press allowed to re- main -for the discussion. "I hold no brief for the press," he continued, "but three meetings have already been held in camera and I think that this matter should be investigated publicly. Accord- ing to precedent the press has al- ways been present at meetings of the city couneil and has never been excluded from -eny regular moet- ing when the council went into committee of the whole. "If you exclude the press you must also exclude the audience." Some members suggested that the spectators would not necessar- ily be required to leave with the reporters, but the press promptly intimated that it would become part of the audience if equal treatment was not accorded to both. Ald. Cawker said that he would not object if the reporters sat with the spectators. Ald. Boddy: "This is a peculiar matter which we are dealing with and I do not think the committee meeting should be open to the press as the other meetings have all been closed meetings. Let the press get the report which the committee will present in the regu- lar manner." "There is a motion in the min- utes that the press be excluded from all committee meetings," Ald. Morris pointed out. Mayor Marks was in favor of having the meeting public and did not desire the reporters to be excluded. If the scribes retired the spectators would have to go also, he considered. and Ald, beginners at school holidays, Mrs. (Dr.) F. Teebilcock, Mrs. Blachford and family, Toronto, were Saturday visjtors with Miss L. Reeve. The many friends of Melinda Potter, Bowmanville, were sorry to Hear of her death. She resided since Easter Ald. Waterous and Ald. Luke then moved that the press be cx- cluded. Ald. Macdonald and Ald. Caunt moved an amendment that the press and audience be al- lowed to remain. The amendment was lost, Mayor Marks, Ald. Macdonald, Ald. Caunt, Ald. Puckett and Ald, Kir- by alone supporting it. Ald. Jack- son, Ald. Waterous, Ald. 'Luke, Ald. Knox, Ald. Hyman, Ald. Jack- son and Ald. Morris were opposed. The reporters and spectators then left 'the council chamber, leaving the aldermen to examine the skeleton in the closet alone. Ald. Macdonald announced that he would not be a party to any in- vestigations held in socret and, begging the permission of the chairman, he retired, followed lat- er by Ald. Cawker. No Action Recommended After spending three quarters of an hour wrestling with its prob- lem, the committee of the whole arose to present a report as' fol- lows: -- "Whereas certain charges and allegations have been made aaginst the city engineer and whereas the city council has carefully investi- gated all of the charges with' the following finding: "As to the charge that pave- ments constructed by the Stand- ard Paving Co., under the direction of thé city engineer were skimped and not constructed according to specifications, we have obtained an independent report from Messrs, R. W. Hurst Co., of Toronto, con- sulting engineers and their report shows quite conclusively that the pavements were satisfactory gand constructed fully up to specifica- tions. "As to the other charges, in view of the fact that the city en- gineer advises us that he has tak- en court action on the charges made against him, we recommend that teh matter in relation to these charges be deferred for the pres- ent." The report was adopted by the council by vote of ten to three, but not until after it had been severely attacked by Ald. Macdou- ald, who returned to his seat im- mediately after the committee had arisen. "We are no further than we were hefore," he sald, "I don't be- lieve that Engineer Smith has tak- en any legal action. Allegations have been made and if they have been made wrongly it is our duty to bring in a proper report. It is the duty of this council to take ac- tfon and not wait for the city en- gineer. If the council does not take action I will personally see fp it that something is done about it. Are these conditions going to drag on? There should be a judicial in- vestigation and the whole business should be referred to the county judge. This thing is still hanging on and we are getting nowhere." Ald. Hyman did not agree with the finance committee chairman. "We have learned,' he stated, "that the engineer has instructed his solicitor to take legal proceed- ings. These charges are against one man in particular and under the circumstances it would not be advisable to proceed until after legal action has been taken by that man. The committee has taken the right attitude and it is still open for us to take action." "I am not taking the city en- gineer's word on anything," Ald. Macdonald countered. "Mr. Eddie MeDonald has not received word that legal proceedings are being taken against him," "This report does not prevent the council from instituting action at a later date," Ald. Boddy point- ed out. "It allows us to proceed at any time. This is the right course. I am not sure that the city has been 'gypped' of any am- ount that would justify an investi- gation. Let us adopt the repert and await developmens." "The question will drag on an- other six months," Ald. Macdonald replied. "One of the parties im- plicated, the Standard ['aving Co., is still doing business in this city." Those who voted in favor of the report included Ald. S. Jackson, Ald. Waterous, Ald. Hawkes, Ald. Luke, Ald. Knox, Ald Keel, Ald. Caunt, Ald. Hyman, Ald. E. Jack- son and Ald. Boddy. Opposed were Ald. Macdonald, Ald, Puckett and Ald. Kirby. Ald. Cawkep did not vote while Ald. Morris had left the meeting before the motion was put. 2 or TR I tL --. Coming Events in Hampton at the home of Mrs. W. J.

I MAGISTRATE GIVES ADDRESS AT YOUNG PEOPLE'S HEETING Interesting Talk Given by Magistrate Creighton on Crime and Its Cause Crime was the subject on which Magistrate T. K. Creighton ud- dressed a largely attended meeting of the Simcoe St. United Church Young People's Society last night. Mr. Creighton stated that in the early days of civilization law and law enforcement were very prim- itive, -Under the Roman system, "Lex Talonis," the Romans prac- tised the old system, an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth. Other ancient nations when determining whether a man was guilty of a crime put the man in water. If he sank he was guilty," if he floated, he was not guilty, Mr. Creighton stated that crime was on the increase in Canada. Ie attributed this largély to the fact that modern civilization was more complex, owing to modern science and. invention, Statistics showed that crime was more prevalent in the larges cities, unmarried people and juveniles, between the ages of 16 and under 21, being the worst offenders. A ladies' quartette, Misses Gar- row and Keddie and Mesdames Nicoll and Hare, accompanied by Mrs. F. Hallit, sang two particu- larly pleasing numbers while a trio with Miss Latimer playing the piano, Miss Minaker the violin, and Mrs. Hoag the cello, rendered two enjoyable selections.

The final speaker of the season, Commander W. G. Carr, late of the Royal Navy, submarine division, who spoke yesterday was in keeping as a speaker with all those who preceeded him during the season. He told an intensely interesting story of submar- ine warfare during the late war ex- plaining in dctail the working of the submarine, the firing and storage of the torpedoes, and the general meth- od of warfare in the under the sca vessels. He described very vividly, illustrating his remarks with lantern slides, the story of some of the epic battles of the war on the sea. e desctibed the winning of the five Vice toria Crosses by members of the sub- marine flotilla and of the heroic deeds done by manyalthough not re- warded by this much coveted 'decor ation.

The Dumbells are apparently made of the stuff that thrives on adversity, for after a bad start and a short run on their eleventh season, they began their twelfth last fall by producing the best show of their careers, and have been playing to phenominal business continually since that time. ' The company which Captain Plunkett has retained and gather- ed together for 'Happy Days" pro- vides just the proper balance to make a satisfactory entertainment. There are Al. Plunkett, '"'Red" Newman, Pat Rafferty, Cameron Geddes, Audre Carline, .Charlie Jeeves, Curly Nixon, and a host cf others, as well as a dancing chorus of unusual charm and talent. The local engagement is an- nounced for Tuesday, April 28th at 11 p.m. when they will appear ¢# the Regent under the auspices the Oshawa Post, Canadian Ley MOURNING WARDROBE | "A death occurred in our family and I had to go in mourning. I could hardly afford to buy all black clothes so decided to dye what I had. T consulted our druggist and he advised Dyes. Everything came out beau- tifully; coats, wool dresses, stock- ings and all. I have since learned to appreciate the excellence of the black Diamond Dyes. I tried an- other black dye and the results were impossible. I had to get Diamond Dyes and do the work over. Recently I have tinted my curtains a beautiful raspberry shade and dyed a rug a lovely gar- net with Diamond Dyes. They are real money savers--the finest dyes money can buy--1I truly believe."
