THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1931 PAGE THREE City to Start Work at Once on Bond Street Bridge SPECIAL MEETING TO DISCUSS THE CONTRACT FOR FILTRATION PLANT City Council Has Debate on Criticisms of Action Tak- en on Contract by Public TO MEET JOINTLY TO DISCUSS MATTER Alderman Kirby Voices Criticism of Attitude of Mayor Marks and Mayor Makes Spirited Reply All communications addressed to the City Council, in which irregular- ities on the part of the Public Utili- ties Commission in the letting of contracts for the construction of the filtration plant have been charged, will be considered by council at a special meeting in committee of the whole at which the.members of the Public' Utilities Commission will be invited to be present together with the City Solicitor, This action was decided upon-at fast night's meeting of counciy on the motion of Ald, Boddy seconded by Ald. Knox, after the letters from Messrs Bathe and McLellan and the Summerville Construction Co, Ltd, as published in this paper, to- gether with" the formal resolution of the South West Ward and Cen- tral Council of Ratepayers had been received and tabled, Ald. Caunt opened the discussion on this matter by asking Mayor Marks if the Utilities Commission had offered any explanation of their actions, the Mayor's reply being "yes. 1 see the chairman has had statements in the press." Should Not Stampede Ald, Hyman stated "I think the members of this council should take care that they are not stampeded into any action just because there is an election coming on, This is not, and should not be a matter for this council, It is as I see it purely a matter for the Public Utilities Com- mission. It is quite true that the Municipal Act states that this coun- cil has the right and the power, to as': for a judicial enquiry into the actions of a commission elected by the neople. That does not mean that we should rush into this thing, and spend money." Ald. Hyman referred to a move- ment some time ago for an investi~ gation into the City Engineer's De- partment which was not gone ahead with owing to the cost, and ex- ressed himself as opposed to any nvestigation made on the authority of council into the present question. "Bathe and McLellan say in their fetter that this action was 'a serious violation of trust', then they say later that they are 'not complain- ing' " said Ald. Hyman. "I con- tend that we, as a council, have nothing to investigate, If there was some charge of graft, or something like that, then I would say investi- gate by all means. hat Judge Would Do "All a judge would do if we asked for an investigation would be to say the contract should have been dealt with in such and such a man- ner. If these parties wanted to take some means of setting aside the ac- tion of the Commission then their proper step would have been to move for an injunction in court. A judicial enquiry will do nothing. he Judge will sit, and we will pay him so much a day, together with counsel's Yees, Then the Judge will send his findings--what are we go- ing to do with them? In my opinion the complainants are not taking the right steps." VISION & COMFORT" Eyesight Service C. H. TUCK, Opt.

F. Armstrong & Son Proprietors Ald, Waterous, -- "I believe that this council is interested to the ex- tent that if this city gets the repu- tation of awarding tenders irregul- arly then we will find a difficulty in obtaining tenders at all. "I have only heard one side of this question, but to me it does not look right that bids should close and then the low man's bid be boos- ted, "It might be a good thing for this council to get at the bottom of this matter, and see that in future there is no irregularity.--if there has been one in this case. On the face of it, it appears to me that the whole thing is irregular and we might do well to get the opinion of the City Solicitor," Mayor On "The Trail" Ald. Kirby, -- "I think that this council is interested in this matter, Our Mayor is a member of the Commission. and your skirts, Sir, are being dragged across the dirty trail." 4 Mayor Marks--"l beg your par- don, Ald. Kirby. You cannot drag me across any trail" (laughter), Ald, Kirby, -- "Perhaps if you moved about the streets, Sir, as some of us do, you would hear criticisms--.' Mayor Marks,--"I have heard no criticisms of myself, You must have seen by the paper that I took a firm stand in this thing." Much Gossip Ald, Kirby, ~~ "There has been gossip. At one meeting you were reported as expressing yourself of the opinion that the matter should be brought by the Commission to the Central Ratepayers Association, Then Mr. Mason said something nasty about the association to the effect that only one in ten men knew what they were talking about, Then you turned round and seemed to side with Commissioner Mason, If our Times is not worthy of re- porting a meeting in an upright manner then it should be barred, "l am going to move, Mr, Mayor, that we refer this letter to the City Solicitor for his opinion as to what action should be taken," said Ald, Kirby, this motion being seconded by Ald, Waterous, Ald. MacDonald,--"I cannot see what the City Solicitor could do." Ald. Kirby,~""The City Solicitor will obtain all the information. If he advises there is nothing wrong then we will have our report." Ald. Boddy, seconded by Ald, Knox, moved in amendment that the whole matter be referred to council in committee of the whole, and that the Public Utilities Commission be invited to attend the meeting, and also the City Solicitor, "Then we will get both sides of the question and we all, I hope, will understand the situation," said Ald, Boddy. Ald, Hyman supported this resolu- tion, stating "and we should ask the Utilities: Commission squarely if they -are going to have an investi- gation." Ald, Kirby withdrew his motion and the resolution of Ald." Boddy was carried without a dissenting vote, T0 RAISE MONEY FOR NEW PLANT Council Approves of Re: quest Made by Utilities Commission The request of the"Public Util- itles Commission, as tabled at last night's meeting of the City Council, that a sum of $135,000 be raised for construction pur- poses on the filtration plant was approved by council without dis- cussion, The motion acceding to this re- quest was sponsored hy Ald. P. A, MacDonald, chairman of the Fi- nance Committee, being to the effect that the communication {rom the Utilities Commission be received and filed, and that the City Treasurer be instructed to make the necessary arrangements to meet the request of the Com- mission, The request of the Commission was forwarded to council, it is understood, as a result of a con- ference held between Chairman John Stacey, City Treasurer P, E. Flackburn, and the City Solicitor, when it was decided that Jhls manner of raising the necessary funds was the logical and most simple one-to adopt, irrespective of whether the Commission has the right to raise funds itself or not under the Municipal Act.

MUCH BUSINESS IS TRANACTED BY EDUCATION BODY (Continued from page 1) month was not granted in view of the cost entailed. The association, however, will be permitted the use of a suitable room in North Simcoe Street School for this purpose, New ans sses A petition .was received from a number of new Canadians who are attending evening classes at the Vo- cational School for the study of English, requesting that this class be removed to South Simcoe Street Public' School, the latter location being more convenient for those who attend. This request also was not favorably considered on the ground of expense and "loss of control." The Board was of the op- inion that a bad precedent would be established by the separation of an individual class from the whole Vocational Institute, and also that the added cost or opening a room in South Simcoe Street School would offset any benefit derived from such action. Use of Hall Granted The request of the Oshawa branch of the Canadian Legion for the use of the Auditorium in the Collegiate Institute, for the purpose of staging a play to raise funds for their proposed club house, was granted by the Board, details and final arrangements to be entered in- to between officers of the Legion and the Business Administrator of the Board. The Board, in granting this request, took the stand that the erection of the Legion Club nouse was "a. community service" within the meaning of the regula- tions governing such matters, A complete report was also tabled as received from Dr, I, W, G, Mec- Kav, the Medical Officer of Health, showing the activities of his De- partment in the schools for the month of October. Lhe report proved over 4,000 pupils to have re- ceived medical examination, Rinks at Schools A large number of requisitions for supplies were approved by 'the Board, including several for mater- ial necessary for the establishment of skating rinks in the playgrounds of the several schools under their jurisdiction. According to the pol- icy of the Board there will be rinks in practically every playground in the city during the coming winter. la connection with these rinks a communication was also received irom the Home and School Club of North Simcoe Street School in which permission was requested to erect a rink building at the school, the material used being ribvea mets al, and having a concrete floor. The Home and School Club being ready to 'defray the costs of this building permission was granted for its erec- tion, The Board formally appointed LeRoy Gibbon as teacher of indus- tria; Science at the Vocational In- stitute, his appointment to date from January 1, 1932, Mr. Gibbon is at present employed in a similar capacity at the Windsor-Walker- ville Technical School, and comes to Oshawa with excellent creden- tials and a strong recommendation from the Department of Education, {is appointment will fill the vacan- cy created by the resignation of E. L. Earl; who is at present on leave of absénce, MEN GOING NORTH FROM WHITBY AND BOWNANVILLE Ten Men From Each Town To Be Sent to Camps Word was received this morn- ing by Major George Hamilton, superintendent of the Govern- ment Employment Bureau, that the towns of Whitby and Bow- manville would each be required to provide a quota of ten men for construction work under unem- plecyment relief plans. on the highways. Major Hamilton, who has jur- isdiction over this district, goes to Whithy on Thursday after- noon and to Bowmanville on Fri- day. in order to arrange for the medical examination of the men selected to go, and issue them with their instructions, No date has yet been set for these parties to leave and it is expected that, in all probability, they are required for work on the provincial highway in North Ontario, rather than on the larger Trans-Canada project, g Both Bowmanville and Whitby have approximately one hundred men registered as applicants for this class of work. HENRY E. WOOD After a lingering illness of five months, Henry E. Wood, died at his late residence, 22 Albany St., or. Monday evening, November the thirtieth. The late Mr, Wood wag born in England but he has heen a resident of Oshawa since 1906 and for the past twenty years he has been employed by the Hogg & Lytle Company of this city, He leaves to mourn Mm his widow and two sous, Harry, of Lakeview Gardens, Osh- awa, and Bert, at home; also a hrother, Thomas Wood, of this city, Two other sons were killed cverseas in the Great War, The deceased was a member of St. Cieorge"s Anglican Church in which church the funeral service will he held on Wednesday at two-thirty o'clock, Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No, 53 HOCKEY MEETING ENTHUSIASTIC Officials and Players Are Looking Forward to Good Season Junior hockey enthusiasts met in the council room last night and discussed the program for the coming season, The Club is entered in the O.H.A, series and although the weather has not given any hope of ice for some time to come the boys are going to start in training immediately and be ready when the weather- man choose to bring seasonable weather, This time last year there was skating at the rink, Orme Gamsby was present and team in the O.H.A, series this year and would throw his sup- port with Bowmanville, This brought a round of applause from the audience that assured Orme that his aid would be welcome, Bowmanville will also have the services of some of the Orono stars of last year, As the OH.A, are meeting to- day to decide conveners and groupings nothing much could be done but a petition has been sent, signed by the managers of the Port Hope, Cobourg, Bow- manville and Whitby teams ask- ing that the eity of Oshawa Jun- iors be transferred to another grouping, It is understood that that team is willing to be trans- ferred for their own benefit, The reason for ssking for this trans- fer is the very plain reason that Oshawa is a city as large as the four other towns put together and therefore has to pick one team where the others have to pick four from the same popula- tion. In addition the Oshawa teams has a paid coach which the others cannot afford and also they have the artificial ice and are in mid season shape when the other four teams are just starting out on the ice. It is un- derstood that Oshawa would be better off also if they were matched against Toronto teams stated that he could not run a, as they would be practically as- sured of larger gate receipts, The Business Men's Association have adopted the Juniors and it is expected that Gordon Chart- van will be the coach this year. A manager has yet to be select- ed, Run in a business like man- ner with the hearty support of the business men in providing transportation to out of town games there is no reason why the season cannot become a suc- cess both literally and financially Last night's spécial meeting of the council was held behind closed doors the Mayor explain- ing that it was a committee meet ing of the whole and that if any- thing definite was decided upon he would issue a statement to that effect, Members of the Cana- dian Canner company were pres- ent to decide wimt aid they would kive to ensure their plant a bet- ter water supply during the rush weeks in the summer, SCOTTISH CON( ERT The 'annual Scottish concert was held last night in St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church when a large audience turned out for the splendid program in celebra- tion of St. Andrew's night, Local people of Scotch birth and descent took part in the program amd these were assisted by; Miss Roy, the Misses McNab and Mr, Geo. 8. Roy of Oshawa, Scotch re- freshments were served at the close of the entertainment and Rev. W, J. Todd, the minister acted as chairman, TYRONE BOY ELECTED By a majority of 03 Bill Phillips, of Tyrone won the Older Boys' Parliament election on Saturday, the results of which were released this morning by re- turning officer Alex. McGregor. There was a fairly heavy vote and a feature of the vote was that Newcastle voted 100% for their own candidate Fred Cowan. Apparently however Bill Phillips made a splendid impression dur- ing his campaign and although he was practically unknown in Bowmanville before his nomina tion he pulled a heavy vote here SPLENDID FIRE RECORD During the month of November Oshawa established a fine record iu not having any fire loss, There have been several false alarms and several other calls, five In all, but there has been no dam- 28 to property during the month, It. speaks well for the care the citizens of the city have exercised, as particularly at this time of the yeur with the starting of stoves and furnaces for the winter there have been no fires, Much credit is also due to Fire Chief W. R, Elliott for the instruction tant he has been instrumental in giving to the people of the city. CAR STOLEN Frank E, Ladd, ©0508 Front Street, reported to the police last night that his car, a Chevrolet 1928 sedan, which he had left on Bagot Street, had disappeared, A search has been made by the po- lice department but no trace had beer found of the car this morn- ing.

TINHARE' BILL IS REJECTED BY Thompson, NEW SOUTH WALES Government Not Favo-able to Introduction of Mechanical Races Svdney, N. 8. W.---Th> South Wales government has re- jected tin hares, and the pro- posal, given wide support in cer- tain quarters, to swell the s0V- ernment's revenues by the initia- tion of mechanical racing has died a natural death, Mechanical racing vas not turned down, however, without tormy discussion in the legisla- tive council and the deciding vote was 1 to 26, indicating that even in the final stages of the legisla- tive fight the movement had ubstantial backing, Opponents of the tin hare rac- ing system pointed out that fit had been banned in every state of Australia, and that the pres- ent was no time to en:ourage gambling, It was pointed out that mechanical racing had taken pounds and pennies from thous- ands of women and children as well as from men who probably could afford the luxury of spec- ulation. The New South Wales govern- ment has lezalized state lotter- fes, and this fact was ased as an argument in favor of the legali- zation of tin hares, but members of the government felt that the prospective revenues from this form of gambling would be dis- pensed with, Supporters of the tin i sald that last year 17:000,608 persons attended the mechanical hare racing in England, where . occupied a high position in sport They described the pastime as the cleanest, fairest and most natural of sports, New NOVA SC S( NOV 'OTTA RUGS Saint John, N.B. 3 5Jvem rugs are bringing Nova Scotia valuable publicity in the United States, according to ga report made to the New Brunswick Au- tomobile Association by Secretary J. Charlton Berrie after his re- turn from a trip to the States. I have noticed quite frequent- ly the large advertisements in New York papers which help ex plain why Nova Scotia is better known than our New Brunswick," sald Mr, Berrie, giving the fols lowing examples: "Genuine home made hooked rugs, made in Nova Scotia," and "Genuine hooked rags made in Homes in Nova Sco- tia, Canada." "A great many rugs go from here to the States," Mr, Berrie commented, "but such an ad for New Brunswick does not seem to appear." A control arrangement has been invented with which different radio stations ire automatically tuned in at designated times, picking up their nrograms through an entire even- ings GovERNENT AID BEING UTIL Report Shows Council Us- ing Nearly All Its Allotment Ald. 8. H. Jackson, chairman of the city's Board of Works, hae provided The Times with some in- teresting figures which, presum- ably show the amount of money which has already been spent or definitely allocated for certain work, under the unemployment relief program, and appropriated from the grant of $200,000 made to the city by the Dominion and Provincial Governments: --- Sewers and general work, $1,- 013, 6%; down-town sewer, $2.- 491.60; Lundy sewer, $886.45; -ea-wall, $5,000.00; grading. $2,- 866.15; inlet sewer to sewage dis- posal plant, $35,000.00; Gibb St. works, $1,000.00; Bond Street Bridge, $17,000.00; Bloor Street sewer, $45,000.00; outlet sewer, $35,000.00: filtration plant, to Public Utilities, $42,500.00. Total--$187,757.88. From these figures made public hy Ald, Jackson it will be seen that the total program of work to which the Board of Worke con- siders itself definitely committed, will use up" practically the whole sum granted for relief purposes by the government, leaving a resi- due of only $12,242.12.

Only four months ago talking pictures were first introduced in the theatres of Shanghai. They have met with amazing success. "China has in the past been han- dicapped by isolation and ignorancé cf the masses, but this drawhack is being removed by the talkies," said Mr, Chan, "The talkies are proving a great unifying force." Mr. Chan admitted that the many dialects of China would be a stumbl- ing block, as there are 12,000 dia- lects in Canton alone. But with the Mandarin or Peiping dialect used as a standard for the production of talking. films, he said, the great ma- jority of the Chinese would be able to understand the story. The first talkie produced in China "The Singing Peony," spoken in the Mandarin dialect, was released about four months ago, and its success was instantaneous, The second talkie, "Romance of the Opera," had been similarly popular, According to Mr. Chan, there are five moving picture studios operating in Shanghai a present, and all are equipped with modern cameras, lighting effects and sound apparatus. In the talkies. so far released all the characters have been Chinese. Most of ther are tabloids of the much longer stage plays which for many generations have been pro- duced in China. Modern picture au- diences in China grow weary of the almost endless sequences of stage plays and the short-length talkies wre regarded with relief, says Mr. Chan, Admission That Sewage - = Disposal Plant Scheme Is Being Held Up Leads Council to Decide to Build Bridge Now COUNCIL WILL HAVE | GOVERNMENT HELP Ald. Boddy Expresses View: That Estimate of Cost of Bridge Is Too High -- Oshawa Labor Must Be Used While considerable discussion centred on the report of the coun- cil in committee of the whole, as submitted by Ald. Hawkes at last mght s meeting to the effect that "the Engineer be authorized to start work on the Bond Street Bridge at once," this report was eventually adopted with Aldermen MacDonald, Hyman, Boddy and Knox aissenting fiom the majority. Opening the discussion on this report Ald, Hyman stated "It may be true that this bridge is very ne- cessary, It may also be true that we require to put on as many men at work as possible to relieve un- employment. It is also true, how- ever, that we are dennitely: commit ted to the construction of a sewage disposal plant and that being so all monies should be conserved for that purpose alone, "Wwe may be told that the sewage disposal plant cannot Le construct- ed this winter, nevertheless we have a large program that we can get on with and we should curtail our ex= penditures in other directions and concentrate on the sewers for the main plant. I am looking at this thing from purely a financial view= point," said Ald. Hyman, Estimate Too High Ald. Boddy expressed himself as opposed to this bridge work, "It is quite true that we possibly need the Bond Street Bridge", said Ald. Boddy, "as it opens an artery out of the city, but it is only out of the city not into the city that the artery is opencd. Further, I think the estimate of the cost, $35,000, as giv= en to at the last mecting in come mittee by the City Engineer, is bee yond all bounds as to what a bridge would cost if constructed under contract, I think that we should vend all our efforts towards the pro= ject started in the south end of the city." At the request of Mayor Marks the City Engineer submitted a fre vised estimated cost of this bridge, explaining that the figures had been gone into more thoroughly since the resolution of council in committee of the whole. Mr. Goedike gave his estimate, under contract, as $20,000, and added another $8,000 for the use of relief labour, bringing his tota; estimate to $28,000, sixtv per cent of which would be spent on labour alone, He estimated further that about $12,600 would be spent in labour on this work during the present fall in this constriction of the necessary abutments. Ald. Morris,--~" We certainly are not ready to go ahead with the sew= age disposal plant. This bridge is very necessary and it was only on the understanding that Bond Street would be opened that the land sas given to us by the Canadian Na- tional Railways." sal Aldermen Cawker and Sam. Jack= sori both expressed themselves as supporting the report, Ald. Jacks emphasizing the fact that there was not enough work to go around among the unemployed. 4 Plenty of M oH "Ald. Hawkes stated "The ef Committee has gone back to the. three-day shift system... As I understand it we get $200, the Government ; $42,500 goes to the Utilities Commission leaving $155, 000. The estimate for the sewer is $90,000, half of. which cemes from the Government; Bloor Street sew= er $75,000, of which we get halt' from the Government,--That leaves us a considerable amount of anek Then this bridge at $35,000 even, which we get half, still leaves us with money. : "Let's get this thing started and ~~+ the men to work," said Al Hawkes. i Ald. MacDonald, -- $28,000 is 2 ? very high higure for this bridge, it i an expensive proposition, em conserve our expenditures and t is far too much money. I wo support the construction of this bridge if it was by contract, with a clause about Oshawa labour." : © Ald, Waterous,--""We segm to. have lost track of the fact t we have advertised for plans for a age disposal plant, to be in January 4. It will be five or weeks at the carliest before could start the plant, and we shi start on this bridge right away. Mayor Marks.--~""My idea is h are like a ship without a rudder, sails all right but we don't know v' wm we are going on the rocks, We won't get anywhere till we aps point an engineer for the sewage disposal plant." : ; On the motion for the adoption of 'the report being put it was cars ried as previously stated. fay pi ins, Features of roulette are in are included in a new miniature game, Balle iriven ito 5 ning aroun stopping on bers as does the smaller one in roulette outfit, ;
