He had been adjudged insane by medical authorities and on- ly yesterday was removed to the On- tario Hospital at Whitby. More com- plete - information was required, un- fortunately, and he was returned to his home. He committed the rash act about 8 o'clock. Missing from his home, a search was instituted for him and the search- ers were attracted to a hole in the ceiling of a garage on the Inch pro- perty. It was up through here that Inch had crawled to a small apart- ment to take his life by cutting his throat with* a razor. That he was caught in the nick of time is evident by the fact that he was in almost a dying condition when found. Drs. F. J. Rundle and Wilson were called and had the man removed to the Osh- awa General Hospital. After emergency treatment was re- sorted to, the pateient responded and 'was given an anaesthetic. An opera- | .tion was performed to dress the in-"} juries. His condition was grave, but after an hour or so he responded suf- ficiently to be removed to the On- tario Hospital at Whitby. The unfortunate man had been an employee of the construction depart- ment at the General Motors and he has been in Hh worried condition - for some time. e was given a thorough examination and yesterday was taken to the Ontario HoHspital. On exam- ination of the papers it was found that certain information relating to family history was fiot' filed in and the man was accordingly brought back to this city while the data was received, This, is to a certain extent similar to a case which arose in Hamilton. A man was adjudged insane in a hurry-up exam- ination by one doctor and taken to the institution where he was detained. In- formation and examination was "not complete and the young mah, who happened to be a lawyer, was let out. He later instituted heavy damage ac- tions against the institution. The re- sult is that the hospitals are taking very little chances and are now re- quiring complete history. In the local case, however, the man examined and judged insane by several doctors. Had he been kept at the institution yes- terday it is alleged the action would never have happened. This morning he was taken to the Ontario Hospital by Dr. Rundle, ac: companied by two nurses. Should he survive the sheck, it is believed he will regain his health, although he will have to be detained at the hos- pital indefinitely. Inch, a man in his fifties, is mar- ried, his wife and two grown up chil- dren residing in this city.

The increase in voters over the elections 'held on New Year's Day this year will run close to 2,000, it is estimated. Under uni- versal franchise in Ontario for Brit- ish subjects over 21 years of age-- whether man or woman---the vot- ing population of a city is usually placed at about 40 percent of the total of residents. Oshawa, however, may show as high a= 50 per cent. of the population total owing to the number of unmarried people em- ploved in Oshawa's industries. On 'that basis, 10,000 people would be entitled to go to polls on the day of the municipal election and cast their ballot for Council, mayor, «and Board of Education, Money by-laws are still left in the hands of the city's ratepayers who constitute a special class of each city's electorate.
