Mayor Bal- harrie was on his way 'back to Ot- tawa after having visited several cities making preliminary arrange- ments in connection with the big celebration of the Ottawa City Cen- tenary which takes place there August®16. A formal invitation to the City of Oshawa to participate in this celébration will be forwarded in due course.

Dr. Farewell explained that the sole object of having this conference' was to avoid law costs in the event of an action now before the Courts, proceeding to trial, He contended that the County had not dealt fairly with the Township and that the legal solicitors was that the County could be made repay the amount unlaw- fully retained. Dr. Farewell characterized the ar- bitration proceedings between the opinion of Oshawa and East Whitby | | Just Arrived city of Oshawa and the County and Township as a bungling mess that had cost the Township of East Whit- by thousands of dollars that it never should have had to pay. Reeve Ross, Thorah, statee¢ that he noted first in the press that East Whitby had entered an action in the courts against Oshawa to recover the amount alleged .to be due to them, while later he noted that the County of Ontario had been enjoin- ed in the issue as a co-defendant. This seemed to him to be a strange proceeding. : I Dr. Farewell explained that it was found that the action must be enter- ed in this way, as the County had ceivad the money after the Village of Cedar Dale had been incérporated within the limits of Oshawa. Was Assessment Accepted? In a general discussion the gen- eral opinion of Council was that in- asmuch as the County Solicitor, A. BE, Christian, had given it as his opinion; after looking up the law that the County was not liable as claimed by East Whitby, the ques- tion should go to the Coutts for a decision. It was further contended that inasmuch as the representatives of East Whitby, without protest, had accepted the Township assessmen for 1924 as contained in a report | adopted by the Council, they could !not now claim money back from the { County which had been collected and| have paid a much larger sum than |thority gone on and advertised the 40 per cent. of the cost. It was un- Dr, Farewell and Reeve Warren| fortunate, also, that the government ; sold it had they obtained the right Dearborn, on the other hand, con- haq refused to assume responsibility price. He did not question the com- tended that the 1924 assessment was, gor the centre pivot of the bridge, illegal, as the government had set | assuming only the swing portion and | simply wanted to see the Council's the assessment for a period of five the cost of operation, the power to vears.

After a few sharp exchanges be- tween 'Reeves Jackson and Ross, the Council passd a motion, submitted by the former, giving the committee authority to dispose of the Atherley bridge at the highest figure, a report of the sale to be made to the Coun- cil. An amendment submitted by tion from Ontario and Simcoe Coun- ties that they would pay 40 per cent. of the total cost of the Atherley bridge and maintain and operate the structure. Reeve Jackson, Whitby, pointed out that in view of the government's intimation not to assume responsi- bility for the under portion of the Atherley bridge the two counties were faced with a serious situation. While he had no doubt that prom- ises made by the government would be kept, he thought that the com- mittee should have asked that the promises made be put in writing, so that the government would have something definite to go by.

Mr. Coleman first referred to his pleas- ant association with Ontario County officials daring the erection of the bridge, and. conveyed on behalf of his county expressions of good will and good feeling such as should al- ways exist between municipalities, In noting the discussion to which he had listened during the afternoon, Mr. Co'eman stated that it 'was the duty of every municipality repre- sentative to express his opinion, no matter if he was alone on any one question, because after all, such an effort was not always lost. With regard to the new bridge, he stated that it was a monument to the commjttee in charge, and he hoped that every member of Ontario Coun- ty Council would endeavor to be pres- lent at the official opening.

La Clerk A. E.

Mr. Cole- man thought that this matter could be adjusted with Mr. Squire when al! the facts were placed before him, also that the committee felt justi- fied in its action, which, he be- lieved, would be approved of by Council when the committee's re- port was tabled. Mr. Coleman also stated that tenders were invited for the old bridge, but that the highest tender was $1050, which the commit- tee did not think was enough, There was a possibility of disposing of the bridge to the Provincial Government. while the Village of Cannington had asked for one span. Committee's Rights Questioned: Reeve Jackson (Whitby) ques- tioned the right of the Roads and Bridges Committee to advertise and sell old bridges without the consent of the Council, Byron Stiver (Scott) stated that he understood that such consent was given at the Januhry session. Warden Sweetman expressed the opinion that the committee nad such power. Reeve Ross (Thorah) stated that when the Council authorized a com- mittee to build a bridge it was un- derstood that they were to dispose of the old structure. This had always been done in the past, If the Coun- cil did not have confidence in ihe committee then they should take from them the work.
