N, R. tracks at the Simcoe street south intersection will center public attention on a development that may well be termed vitally necessary to the city's expansion, As it is, the whole district south of the C. N, R, tracks is more effectively cut off from Oshawa in general than if an old time city wall interposed its stolid bulk in the way. The Canadian National Railway system is vitally in- terested and should, on decisive action by the city, co-operate to the fullest extent possible, The cost to the city would not be excessive. Estimates as low as $37,600 having been men- tioned at the recent Council session after allowing for the Railway's share and a Federal grant of some $25,000 for doing away with a level crossing, A large section of Oshawa's industrial population already lives in the district which the proposed subway would serve, There is ample room there for another ten thousand people, all of whom would be citizens and taxpayers, It is doubtful if there is any other scheme of city de- velopment to which the Council could commit itself with such sure promise of early and lasting benefit, Buy Hydro MISS ORCUTT LEADS ADA MACKENZIE (By Associated Press) Garden City, N.Y.
