STACEY ATTACKS RELIEF METHODS ~+ (Continued from page 1) families are stealing and tearing build- ings down and it is caused through the fines. - Spotters don't go to a house where there is a little money because they would mighty soon be kicked out, but they impose on the foreigner with a large family. The fines are not being paid by those fined but by friends and they are under a heavy obligation to pay it back while the families must suffer, and the children are jibed at school ahowt their father being in jail. 1 would say jail them all, but the relief officer should go and investigate the conditions under which they are living. Although Mr. Brown has heen a faithful officer he has been too severe and saved the town money, when the town should not be shield- ed," stated Mr. Stacey. Mayor Preston said it was a vexious question and if they attempted to care for those who got into jail there would be 200 get into jail so they could be cared for. He believed there should be propaganda issued that the city would give no relief next winter. "There is no use telling them that we won't provide for them as we have got to provide for them according to the statutes,' stated Alderman Hart, Alderman McLeese moved, seconde! by Alderman Whattam that the mat- ter be referred to the Finance Com- mittee for some consideration. In seconding the motion, Alderman Whattam said that the matter should have the deepest consideration of the Council, The town is not suffering irom the amount of relief it is giv- ing, he said. HEAVY DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY FIRE (Continued from page 1) burning films madé the task a difficult one, Police Constalle Arthur Jubb turn- ed in the alarm, Standing at King and Simcoe streets the officer heard the report and saw glass flying across the street and crash on the pavement The windows in the third storey were completly blown out. The firemen responded in the brief space of a few seconds and had it not been for their promptness the flames would have gained greater headway and it is like- ly that the adjoining buildings would have suffered. While the origin of the fire is un- certain, Fire Chief A. C, Cameron is of the opinion that it was caused from the chimney. In the room in which the explosion occurred a stove pipe hole was uncovered and a spark may have ignited the films. The studio was badly burned while the cameras and other equipment are ruined bhe- yond repair. The fire centered in this part of the building and eat its way into the partitions. The gas from the films also aided the flames and at one moment they would disappear and then flare out furiously. Four lines of hose only two were used. satisfactory, enabling the firemen to do good work. Ladders were used for scaling the building and one line of hose was taken to the top of the Tod building from which point the fire- were laid but The pressure was Phone your drug needs to THOMPSON'S DRUG STORE Phones 22--265 ALDSWORTH OSHAWA TELEPHONE S49 C.F.

On first entering, the ordin- ary lanterns were of no use, the lights heing extinguished but electric flash lights + were pressed into service. Smoke helmets were of little use Quick action was nceesasry and the helmets would have been a handicap rather than a help Hundreds of spectators stood wateh- ing the brigade fight the fire and could also see the water pouring down in the Woolworth store, Little of the tire could he from. King street but from the rear where the expldsion occurred the flames could be seen cating their way along the walls, How ever when the hose were directed at this pomt the flames were short lived, It was at first feared that the fire would spread to. Welsh's parlors but it was checked quickly and the heavy brick partition between the buildings prevented disaster in this regard, Some water penetrated the ball roo.n of Welsh's but only along the wall and did practically no damage. The Woolworth stock carried in- surance while the equipment and sup- plies of Mr. Runnal lwere partially covered. Loss to Mrs. Thompson will be small due to the fact that the fire- men were able to salvage the piano and furniture. seen The building which was owned by | Mr. Ed. Henry was also covered by | msurance. The daniage to the struc ture is great, the walls and partitions to the rear being badly burned. The firemen were obliged to cut into the partition at the north-west corner where the flames chiefly centred. As soon as an. opening had been made the fire was finally extinguished.

He also declared that he would en- is force the law that all open chim: evs in the. city such as in this building must be plastered up and thus afford a greater protection against loss. Mrs. Thompson who the apartments there since early in December was loathe to leave her home but was persuaded to do so by the firemen. She had been gone just a few minutes when the rooms were completely filled with a dense smoke. has occupied The Fire Chief states that handling this fire was the 'most difficul} with which they have had to Sitienn in a long tie and gives great credit to the firemen for their seryices. Hg also is appreciative for the co-opera- tion of the police. Mx. _Runnalls had been in the studio up 0 a half an hour before the ex- plosion and was in the barber shop across the street when it occurred. He could not account ior the occur- rence but said that either a short cir- cuit in wiring or wire had ignited the films which he uses instead of glass plates.

COUNGIL ABOLISHES CITY COMMISSIONER (Continued ~ from page 1) the recommendation of his committee said they felt the action they had taken was quite in accord with what they should do. Oshawa's assessment has been more or less neglected, remarked Mayor Preston, in charging that 100 much time had been used in the spending de- partments and not enough in the producing department. "I do- hope the Council will do something to strengthen up the de- partment. We all know of rank dis- crepancies which have not been prop- erly explained," stated his worship. If Oshawa is to grow industrially the. small taxpayer must be taken care oi. Alderman Clark stated that if the recommendation was passed by the Council that he wished to go-on record as being opposed to abolishing the position of Assessment Commissioner and cutting the salary of Mr. James 200, Alderman Johnston said he .did not altogether agree with the motion be- cause when you reduce a man's sal- ary it is evidence that there is inef- ficiency and it was also a question whether you would get the same re- sults from the assessment department. There were reasons, however, he said for eriticism. "The motion leaves no head in the department and suggests that Mr. Luke assist Mr. James in his work, but how do you define his work, Per- onally I would be rather loathe to vote for that motion, remarked Alder- man' Johnston, Aldgrman Hart was of the opinion that it was a move in the right direc- tion. The weak spot has heen in the income assessment and he believed Mr, Luke could bring it up to where it should be Alderman Whagtam said it was easy to raise objection hut if you had noth- ing constructive to say there was no use of saving anything, He believed the move was in the interests of the rate payers, To this Alderman Clarke replied, "You must think the Assessor weak in some point or you wouldn't be in favor of cutting the man's salary." Alderman Hart moved, seconded hy Alderman Whattam that the report he adopted, Alderman Johnston said he believed the matter required more discussion. He moved that hte matter he referred back to the Committee for further discussion. We have had it under consideration since January, stated Alderman Brad- ley City Clerk Hare asked who was to be responsible for the rolls, and this prompted the change making Mr. James assessor, in order that he would be responsible for the return of the rolls " A GAME BIRD FARM California has a new game farm, where Chinese pheasants and other fine game birds will be bred and 'ater released into forests and fields | for hunting.
