ORMISTON FIRE LOS WIL * BEABDUTS4.000 Whitby Man Had Some In- : surance on Buildings After checking up his loss sus- tained through the destruction by tive of his chicken house and large shed early Tuesday morning, Mr. Isaac Stein believes that it will be | fn the neighborhood of $4,000. Both the chicken house and shed 'were tilled with wood, ready for ship- | ment. There was a little insurance on the two buildings but none on the wood. It was a fierce fire while ft raged, and Mr. Stein is thankful that there was no wind at the time, otherwise his losses might have been much greater. * The origin of the fire is unknown. There was no sign of fire when Mr, Stein retired for the night. The puildings are not far from the rail. way tracks of the C.N.R. on Hick- ory Street. and these days not a few men pass up and down. Stein speaks highly of the good work of the fire brigade which answered a call al- most instantly. The equipment was all in good working order. COUNCIL WILL NOT CALL MEETING TO DISCUSS BYLAW Public Meeting Called By "Gas Co. Open to All Is Stand In view of the fact that the On- tario Shore Gas Company, which is seeking from the electors of Whit- by ratification of an agreement to sell gas in the town for a period of 35 years, has called a public meeting on May 12th, for a free and open discussion of the agree- ment, the Town Council will not all another meeting. A sugges- tion from the Executive of the Chamber of Commerce that such a meeting be called, was discussed at some length on Monday night by the Council, but the majority opinion was that the two meetings grranged by the gas concern, would furnish the electors with ample op- portunity to discuss the franchise agreement from every angle and get all the necessary information. It was pointed out that at the meeting to be held next Tuesday night Mayor Bowman would be chairman and all citiezns no matter what their opinion was on the agreement would be welcome and would be free to ask questions. - Meetings Open to All ' © Reeve Jackson stated that the meeting called by the gas concern would be widely advertised and invitations sent to all electors to sttend. -' When it was suggested by Coun- eillors Ormiston and Landon that it the meetings were called by the gas company some members of attend, this having been intimated 1in certain quarters, Reeve Jackson stated that those who were oppos- ed to the franchise agreement and would not attend the meeing were making a grave mistake, and in- dicating by their actions that they had a weak case. The reeve sated that he felt sure that the gas com- pany was very anxious to lay all its cards on the table and give the electors all the facts in connec- tion with the franchise agreement and that at the meeting arguments for and against the bylaw would be invited. The fact that Mayor Bowman would preside at the Tuesday meeting should guarantee to the citizens that the question would be openly and freely dis- cussc® The Town clerk had previously reported that the gas company had engaged the town hall for May 12th and had forwarded a cheque for the rent. Deputy-reeve Deverell ventured the opinion that the gas company would be perfectly willing to take back their hall rental fee and al- low the Council and Chamber of Commerce to call the public meei- ing for next Tuesday night. It did not matter to the company who called the meeting as the sole ob- ject of it was to enlighten the electors on the various clauses of the agreement. Coun, Ormiston was of a similar opinion. He felt that the company invited the freest and fullest dis- cussion of the bylaw and at 'each meeting would be glad to answer any questions, Coun. Ormiston, however, was- willing to support a motion for a public meeting under Council auspices if Council so de- sired, and he suggested May 11th and 13th as possible dates. He had promised the Chamber of Com- merce Executive that he would bring this matter up. Coun. Reid took the stand that if those who were opposed to the agreement did not wish to attend the public meetings called by the gas company, it was their lookont. Reeve Jackson pointed out that the Chamber of Commerce had not as a body taken any Uefinite stacd on the gas franchise bylaw, al- though it was true that some mem- bers were opposed to it. Mayor C. E. Bowman stated that the same could be said of the Council, some of whose members were also opposed. What the Council had done was to consider the agreement, get the best terms possible from the gas company and then submit if to the electors. Contrary to the belief of some, however, the Council as a body had taken no definite stand.

JOHN'S CHURCH Special Committee at Work ~--Church Has Unique History A special committee appointed last week by the Vestry, is now making plans for the 85th anniver- sary. of St. John's Anglican Church Port Whitby, of which Rev. D. B. Landford, Rural Deal of East York, is rector. The historic church is one of the town's most familiar landmarks, and one of the oldest in the county. It was founded by pioneers of this town and district, many of whom now sleep their last sleep in the plc- turesque cemetery, just beyond the church door. Celebration plans include the ap- prearance in the pulpit of some of the most outstanding Anglican clergy in Canada today who were students once in the little Bay church, and who from time to time have cose back to visit the scene of their early labors. The celebration will last two days, June 14 and 15, with special services on the Sunday and a social gathering in the even- ing on Monday. St. John's Church is a house of memorials. All of the windows, tha chancel equipment and flooring. the communion table and several other interior fittings are memorials, do, nated to the church by relatives and friends of early worshippers. The church, despite its age, is in splen- | did condition, a tribute to past and | present congregations.

GAS BYLAW WAS DISCUSSED AT PUBLIC MEETING Lang of Chicago Were the Chief Speakers At a mecting which last night filled the council chamber in the town hall to overflowing, a great mass of facts and figures regarding the gas fran- chise bylaw was presented to the el- ectors of Bowmanville. The meeting was notable for the appearance of Ben E. Tate, vice-president of the Utilities Power and Light Corpora- tion, and president of the Ontario Shore Gas Company, and Eugene C. Lang, chief engineer of the Utilities Power and Light Corporation. These gentlemen were the chief speakers at the meeting, and were ably supported by Councillor Ross Strike, Reeve W. H. Carruthers, F, L, Mason and Gor- don D. Conant, all of whom brought out salient points showing the ben- efits which would accrue to Bowman- ville by the passing of the bylaw. Mayor Elliott presided over the meeting, and strongly urged every elector to vote in favor of the bylaw, and thus take advantage of the great opportunity for future development that was being offered to the town. Ben E. Tate, in his remarks, refer red to the widespread operations of the Utilities Power and Light Cor~ poration in Canada and Great Britain, as well as in the United States, and fulfilling the obligations contained in the agreement. Gas, he said, was the poor man's utility, and he was con- fident that there would be a great gas development throughout Central Ontario should the gas franchises now. being sought be granted, He wanted to see Bowmanville part of the Ontario Shore Gas Company, and the company part of the town. Mr. Tate said, in reply to questions, that it would be possible to have gas ser- vices operating in Bowmanville with- in four months if the bylaw passed. He also referred to the development of coke fuel in the district as an im- portant factor which would help to reduce the cost of living, and said that the securing of the franchises now being sought would greatly ex- pedite the day when coke would be distribtued from a plant in Oshawa, modern and cheap fuel. Eugene C. Lang, after dealing with the history of the negotiations for the development of a gas system. in Daily Times Phone No. 53 economical method of distributing gas was by the establishment of a central generating system, and the laying of long pipe lines.! This has been prov- en by experience, and was the basis of the proposed operations in Central Ontario. The installation of the sys- . tem in Bowmanville would give from 90 days to four months employment to considerable number of men, as the system would have to be complet- ed 'before the snow flies. Councillor Ross Strike, Reeve Car- ruthers, and T. A. Dustan, president of the Business Men's Association, all spoke strongly in favor of the by- aw. Frank L. Mason and Gordon D, Conant dealt very largely with the value of the gas installation from an industrial standpoint, and stressed the fact that it would not seriously com- pete with the electrical system. ' Mayor Elliott, in bringing the meeting to a close, reminded the au- dience that all municipal electors were entitled to vote on the bylaw, and urged that they turn out and make sure of its passing.
