---------- = rn er rt. || ert -~ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 29, 1927 rr -- RIT -------- --n -- ---- Oshawa Man Is Arrested F * Discuss Civic Problems At Public Meeting Here Members of 1927 Council dnd in With Matters of Vital In- "terest Optimism for Oshawa's future diowth, coupled with sane sugges- s to bring it about, pervaded the meeting of citizens last night in the council chambers. This meeting was called by Mayor Preston to hear re- jorts of the stewardship of members of e 1927 council, and to give can- didates for this year an opportunity to announce their platforms. The two .items which received the most prom- inent discussion were. the necessary sewage disposal plant and subway under 'the C.N.R, tracks at Simcoe street south, Mayor Robert D, Preston, in com- menting upon the smallness of the crowd attending the meeting, thought this could be explained by the fact that the ratepayers of the city were satisfied with the work of the 1927 council. Mayor Preston declared himself sorry that suth men as Al- dermen Hart, Bradley and Schell were leaving the council, and expres- sed himself as being of the opinion that the citizens could not elect men who would do the work next year as well as the retiring members had done theirs in the closing one. Mr, Preston also said he thought no man in the city of Oshawa was paying too much taxes. Alderman D. A, J. Swanson, who is seeking re-election in the south east ward, took exception to the last re- mark of the Mayor, saying that the fact that there was such a large sur- plus over this year, was proof that the citizens were paying too much taxes. It was the contention of Mr, Swanson that the ooe mill could have been taken from the rate and that money was taken from the pockets of the workingman this year that should not have been taken, and he said he would rather see a thousand dollar deficit as a result of too low a tax rate than that there should be such a large surplus, Mr, Swanson, in his address, advor cated a new sewage disposal plant, the immediate building of a subway under the CN.R, tracks, a public lavatory in the business section, a chamber of commerce which would represent the average man, and the paying of street cleaning and oiling out of th4general revenue, George Hart, who is withdrawing from the council this year, said that the council deserved no credit for the surplus which had accumulated but that it had arisen on account of unexpected revenues, He said, how- ever, that the per capita tax in the city was the same in the past year as it was during the past five years, He thanked the mayor and members of the council for the courtesy shown him during the year, Alderman S, H, Jackson, who was returned by acclamation from Ced- ardale, thought that the lack of a subway at the C.N.R. tracks, cutting off as it did the ward of Cedardale from the city, was a disgrace and that it should be quickly remedied, T, B. Mitchell, chairman of the Board of Education, agreed with Al- derman Swanson that it was poor judgment. on the part of the council to have such a great surplus, and he said he would have liked to have seen a smaller surplus with a smal- ler tax rate. Ex-mayor John Stacey, who is running for alderman, pointed out, in congratulating Mayor Preston on his unopposed election, that he had a similar experience after serving the city as iis chief magistrate for two years. He said he would strive for a lower tax rate, stating that during his regime the rate was 37 mills, He added that councils at the beginning of the year have a tendency to do "a whole lot and then do nothing, but rather wait and expect to do it next year, I think the council should plan to do a reasonable amount of work sand then go ahead "and do it," he concluded. Dan Douglas, president of the local post of the Canadian Legion, agreed that more modern sewage disposal was absolutely necessary. He also advocated a public lavatory for the i { and supported the subway. . R. Alloway, elected by acclama- tion as alderman for the north-west ward, said that he would endeavour to work for the city as a whole ra- ther than one ward . He favours the election of aldermen from the city at e, rather than the ward system. the reduction of the number of councillors for the city. In a forceful address, John Craw- ford, candidate in the north-east ward stated that the small attendance at this meeting showed a deplorable state of legarthy in citizens regard- jog municipal affairs, He stated his intention to not only represent the north: st ward, if elected, bul to work re whole of the city. He supported the Chamber of Commerce movement to bring industries to the city, and pointed out the necessity in mind, of assessment revision, uid the annexation of Westmount and other suburbs into the city pre- *E D.

CHRISTMAS TREE Montreal, Dec. 29--Doris Me- Donald, twenty-year-old wife of George McDonald, sentenced with her husband to be hanged on March 23 for the murder of Adelard Bou- chard, Lachine taxi man, warmed her heart about a Christmas tree all her own in her cell at the Ful- lum street jail over the holiday. With the scaffold just three months away, the pretty young wo- man abandoned herself like a little child to the Christmas spirit drawn round her by the kindly nuns who have charge of the institution. Ottawa may dispense the official mercy asked for the woman in the jury's verdict ten days ago at Val- leyfield ,but Doris seemed indiffer- ent to the outcome, authorities re- ported. She was elated at the Christmas greetings she received in the mail from her condemned hus- band, who occupied the death-cell at Montreal jail, which held Giu- seppe Serafini, one of the four Hochelaga bank bandits who paid the supreme penalty three years 2go. Mrs. McDonald received no gifts on Christmas day, aside from those offered her by the sisters who at- tend her. Yesterday, however, a young man whose identity was not revealed, brought to the jail a par- cel of magazines which he asked to be handed to Doris. Subject to the scrutiny of the authorities, the parcel was accepted for her. In addition to the amply decora- ted Christmas tree given Doris by Money isn't everything, but it is very useful! in paying bills.--King- ston Whig-Standard. voting | or Burglary In Toronte Is Caught By After Wild Chase; Recover Stolen Mone Man Giving Name as R NOW OGGUPYING NEG.
