(Continued from page 1) the rty involved was valuable. One Toronjo man, owning 35 lots had arrears amounting to $2284 listed against the property, His cheque for the amount was received shortly prior to the date of the sale. Twenty-seven of the lots which he owned were locat- ed on Drew street, six were on Stacey avenue and the remainder on Eldon avenue. An Oshawa realty company were $1,845 in arrears for three years, but they redeemed their property at the last moment, Twenty six lots located on Barrie and McKif streets, Ritson road, Stacey and Eulalie aven- ues were involved, Seventy. sight lots These will be sold at tax sale to be held on August 17 for whatever can be obtained, Such le was aut orized by coineil at ifs meet- ing held on Monday night. At the tax sale held this' week the varions parcels were sold for whatever was outstand- ing against them in taxes and costs nc more, no less, One man could bic against another though, by announcing himself as willing to pay the taxe: against the whole for a certain per centage of the land offered. Th smallest amount Aq was $9.61 whicl bought a lot of eet frontage, The largest deal put through at the tax sal was the sale of a parcel of fee: frontage for $211.83, Sixty foot front age sold for $201.80 in another cas: while a third Javcel 'of 39 feet frontag: went for $14093, Whether greate bargainst than these will be availabl at the adjourned tax sale remains tc be seen. ; It 1s worthy of note that althoug! 331 parcels of land were 'advertised for sale, the number of individual owner: represented was only 65, As it iv estimated that there are some 4,000 property owners iri Oshawa one car see that the percentage of taxpayers in arrears is comparatively very insigni- ficant. The land which eventually wen to sale represented the holdings of some 9 owners. The lots which were put up for sal were located on various streets, Thirty two of the Jots were situated on Drew street, 25 on Dean avenue, 23 on Lake: view avenue, 22 on Ritson road south 21 on Pard road, 20 on Beatty street 18 op Howard 'street, 13 each on Sta cey and Sterling avenues, 10 each on Oshawa boulevard and Russell avenue and thie rémainder scattered.

McLaugh, And so he told the automobile dealers a story of pioneering, of the pursuit of an ideal, of the growth of a business, that showed them the trae spirit that was behind the pro- uct they sold, He passed over half 'century and came to the time twenty-five years ago when an- other pioneer Oliver Hezslewood, drove the first motor car down the streets of Oshawa, And not only the fivet *car but the second, fog Mr. McLaughlin recalled that it was in Mr, Hezslewood's second car that he was persuaded to ride, Then the builder of buggles be- came a convert to the new means of transportation, With characteris- tie determination Mr, McLaughlin decided that his company was going to build motor cars--and build them from the ground up--in Osh- awa, An engineer was' engaged, ipecifications were made, and every- thing was in readiness to begin manufacturing of the cars in this ity, Then the engineer hecame ill, Mr, McLaughlin wired to Mr, Dur- int, president of the Buick Com- pany, asking him to suggest another :ngineer, From that telegram arose a conference which eventually end- ad with an arrangement by which Mr, McLaughlin and his associates agreed to build the Buick car in Canada, The contract signed then remained in force for fifteen years with minor changes, until the Me- Laughlin Company sold out to the General Motors Corporation, and became ap integral part of one of the greatest industrial corporations in the world, How great was this organization Mr. McLaughlin revealed when he mentioned the eighty units which comprise General Motors and ex- plained how this giant corporation ad grown up, It was the necessity of completeness in every detail that had resulted in the formation or acquisition of companies to manu- facture every possible need, Spark plugs, ignition systems, carburetors, every item of equipment was manu- factured by the. corporation--a fact which enabled General Motors deal- ors' to supply cars more completely equipped than any others. Perhaps one secret of the success of the cor- poration was that each of the as- sociated companies was a complete entity in business for itself and not dependent on any of the others, Yet large plants and great finan- cial strength did not make success for industrial concerns, said Mr. McLaughlin. Above everything else was the human element; and he stressed the fact that General Mot- ors had never omitted the personal touch. Dealers, factory employdes and all other servants of the com- pany were on (friendly relations with it. Despite its vast size the cor- poration had mever become a great machine, but had remained always consideration of the human ele- ment. It was a fact that many com- panies had failed simply because of the lack of this personal touch. The cheering and applause en- gendered by the speech of the popu- lar president of General Motors of Canada, whose relations with the dealers bore out the doctrine he preached, had scarcely subsided while the gathering tendered a tu- muitous welcome lo Gordon Lé§- febyre, general manager and vice- president of the corporation. *"'Ser- vice" was the keynote of Mr. Le- febvre's address. And if Mr. Me- Laughlin gave ome secret of the company's success, another was re- vealed by Mr. Lefebvre. He told how the dealer should endeavour to give complete satisfaction to the owner, through a good shop, train- ed mechanics, and the proper tools. The sale of a General Motors car, he said, was not completed un- til the owner had turped it into a General Motors dealer as part of the purchase price of another Gem- eral Motors product, after obtaining complete satisfaction from it. Be- tween buying the car and selling it again he should have cheerful ser- vice from the dealer. Cheerful ser- vice involve a clean efficient shop and courteous, well trained service men equipped with the tools which were suitable for the work. Mr. Lefebvre discussed the ex- pansion of the Oshawa plant, de- scribing the great building activity going at present as the initial step in a major expansion prostan. He explained that the new office b - ing now being erected was prompted largely by the necessity of having ROOM AND BOARD AT 25 pr 79 St. (159) quate quarters which to re- ceive the company's) dealers when inted out t the average SACRIFICE SARE OF LOTS, ROX- borough five minut, from G.M.C-Snly $309.

He content of all the cars made by General Motors of Cahada was now well over the fifty per cent required by the Government for cars pro- duced in Canada. The ultimate aim of the firm was to make the cars 1990 per cent. in Canada. This, how- ever, was an ambition which ecir- cumstances made impossible of achievement at present. It was being kept steadily as an ultimate goal. ' Mr. Lefebvre paid a remarkable tribute to Mr. Mclaughlin when he described him as a pioneer who was still a young pioneer, and who was the only one of the pioneers of the automobile world who was today the president of a great automotive concern. Following the inspirational ad- dresses of Mr. McLaughlin and Mr. Lefebvre, the convention delegates heard an intersting discussion on srvice and maintenance problems by CITY'S INDUSTRIAL BUILDING PROGRAN 4 (Continued from page 1) the Jackson-Lewis Co, Ltd,, Toron- to, in charge of the wark, Over # hundred men are employed now and some 60 more will be put on the job in a few days when work on the superstructure begins.

TLE RC EL LU EEE Some Members of Council * To Oppose Buying Butt Lands Certain Aldermen Will Fight Such Action and These Whe Opposed It in Council Say Members Who Were Absent Agree With Them Rumor has it that certain mem- bers of the city council will vigor- ously oppose ratification of the deal with H. A, Butt whose offer to sell twenty-five acres of land at $400 per acre plus other considerations was accepted at Monday evening's coun- cil meeting. These members, it is sald, propose to vote the agreement which may be arranged hetween Mr. Butt and the city when 1t comes be- fore the council for ratification and it they are mumerically strong enough the whole arrangement will fall through, : All members of the council were not present on Monday eyening when the decision to buy 25 acres from Mr, Butt according to his of- fer and according to certain provis- ions which couneil declared Mr. Butt should meet, Members who opposed the project at that meeting declare that most of the absentees agree with them and are of the opinion that they will be able to reverse council's decision, The councillors opposing the pro- ject assert that council in accepting the offer have chosen the path of least resistance in order to avoid a difficulty, One member who was opposed made the statement that even if it cost the city twice as much to put a sewer through the property. to refuse to buy the property and to pay whatever damages might be assessed, the city should pay rather than give the man who wished to force the property to the city, sat- Isfaction, It is said in opposition to the course which the council has adopted that there is no wisdom in buying 25 acres of land wher all that is needed to put through a sewer would be four or five acres, Members who favour the course adopted point out that in addition to buying the land needed for a sewer the city would also have to pay whatever damages might ibe assessed against the city for alleged pollution. Under the terms of the NEW SERVICE SCHOOL AT G.M.C. (Continued from page 1) dreds of an instructor, or watching him demonstrate some new tool or new piece of equipment. « But to The Times this morning, Mr. Smith explained the idea behind the "schools." We want to teach the whole idea of service to our em- ployees and the dealers' staffs," he said. "The course is psychological as well as mechanical. The com- mercial value of cleanliness is one thing we show them, The value of certain tools-- why they do a bet- ter job than other tools--is anoth- er," "The course lasts for two weeks. Each Monday a new class will en- ter, so that the students will, so to speak, overlap. Part of the stu- dent's time will be spent jn the maintenance garage and parg listen- ing to instructors or watching dem- onstrations, The students will he taught the principles of refinishing cars, they will learn to make body repairs and to trace down all the squeaks or rat- tles that, might appear in a car, The instructor in this department, which is entirely a new departure, is J. KE. B, Short, an authority on the suhjeect." An interesting fact ahout the first service school, which hegan on Mon- day is that the company is trying it on its own men, from entirely dis- tinct departments. For example, in the eight pupils there are two from the maintenance division, a repre- sentative of the gales department, one from the service department, an engineer and a new man who when he enrolled knew nothing about automobiles, The school in opera- tion here will he permanent, but in addition there will he at a later date two travelling schools, one in West- ern and one in Eastern Canada, During the two weeks the school lasts the men will receive a thor- ough instruction in two cars. If they wish to go into any of the oth- pyrchase, they point out, all claim to such damages and or to dam-| ages which might later arise through | the use of the land as a dump are to he renounced by Mr. Butt, The fact that the agreement will also prdvide rebate of tax arrears on the property which amount to approximately $500 is warmly crit- icized hy the- members opposed to the deal. They charge that it is poor husiness and they point out that the purchase of the land removes a source of cify income. One of the greatest arguments advanced in favour of the scheme favoured at Monday's counvil meet- ing was that the land in a few years will be valuable and that the city | for a longer period than the regu- | 2 It will have a permanent staff er cars they have simply to stay on lation two weeks. The school will officially open for dealers and their staffs on August of four instructors, and an adyisory and contributing staff of six or seven technical experts, No more than sixxteen pupils will he accepted in any one class. It is xpected that the new schools will make an in- teresting connecting link between the factory and the dealer organi- zation. will be able to sel it for the pres- ent purchase price.
