N. R tracks at the Oshawa Junction sta- tion hy constructing a subway were again taken at lest night's session of the city council, A committee consisting of Aldermen D. A, J Swanson George T. Morris, H. P, Schell, Clifford Harman and City Engineer Smith were appointed to investigate, confer with the C, N, R. and report, The total cost of the proposed grade separation would be, it wes informally stated, ahout $125,000. The city, which would be asked to pay not more than half, would re- ceive a grant of $26,000 from the Federal Government for removing a level crossing. This would reduce its share of the cost to $37,600, and further reductions might be credit- ed against the account through in- creased assessment and Higher bus!- nes and residential taxes which would follow the opening up of the Cedardale district, All the aldermen appointed to the committee, including Mayor Preston who will enter into its deliberations by right of office, have been closely in touch with the proposed devel- opment for sometime past. It is considered probable that a report at the next Council session may for- ward the scheme to a point where a by-law may be framed for ratifica- tion at the next eivic election. Alderman Harman, whose pame was not mentioned for the com- itee by Ald. Bradile"'s motion, was added at the direct suggestion of Mayor Preston who pointed out that Mr. Harman bad been one of the Council's most earpest workers in getting the matter in shape for definite action.

It was referred back to the General Purpose Committee on motion of Ald, Swan- con, seconded by Ald, Harman, in order that the city solicitor may study the plans as regards the Oshawa Railway's franchise rights and the city's interest in its schedules and fares, It is probable, how- ever, that a special Council session will be called as soon as the eady to report, in order that the dvisable, by the date mentioned As pointed out by Mayor Preston, the proposed hus service will relieve the street car line which is, at present, forced to meet certain passenger trains, whether late or not, in order for the | company to retain its franchise.

The bus line, in addition, would provide a more elastic service betwen the business and hotel district the railway station. wd 4 Cooper, in his letter, stated: "It would be possible to operate a more regular and improved service to and from the station. It would be possible to operate a more regular and improved electric car service between Cedar Dale apd North Oshawa which is not pos- sible at the present time, due to train cars operating over the same single track as the local service, By using a bus, it is probable that a different route through the city may be used, thereby giving improved service for (Continued on Page 3) FOR TWO YOUNG MEN 9 end 7 Year Terms Meted Out in Port Hope--Two Charges CITY COUNCIL AIDS G.M.C.
