The coun- cil is also waiting to hear whether the highways department has noti- fied the county of its obligation to the town in the return of a 50 per cent. of the amount levied on the town by the county since 1926. The meeting last night was oceu- pled with matters of comparative- ly minor importance and the ses- slon was adjourned at 10.80 o'clock. A communication was ree from the public utility commis requesting the council to apportion $2,600 for sanitary sewers this year. As the council is endeavor- ing to spare all estimates to a mini- mum several members thou ht that the commission might get along with less money for sewage pur- poses and no action was 'aken, the matter being referred to the finance committee, A second communication from the Dundas council read caused ence to it Engineer Pringle claim- ed that the town had a population [of 4,600 people not including the | Ontario Hospital, Dundas is asking | jall towns of four thousand or more | population to join with it in op- posing the proposed provincial | government bill to license all hawkers and peddlers through the ycounties leaving communities in- | corporated with the counties no (power in the matter, Reeve Jack- ison asked the present population | of Whitby; Engineer Pringle reply- |ing that it was 4,600.

Howard Annes who has been doing a great deal of private and personal work in connection with the attempt to have the Camp Borden alr camp located here, addressed the council regard- ing the progress being made in this direction, Mr. Annes felt that the present position of the town was tremendously fortunate as it had the backing of the neighboring city of Oshawa and could probably gain Toronto's support by favoring a second lakeshore highway from that city to the Quebec boundary which is desired by the provincial capital. He admitted that Toronto was anxious for the air camp Itself but he thought that if a meeting could be arranged between repre- sentatives of Toronto, Oshawa and Whitby the three municipalities might come to an understanding. Proposed Alrpost Councillor Ormiston expressed the opinion that Mr, Annes should! be congratulated upon the interest he had taken in this project and he cited figures to show that the establishment of Camp Borden here would mean much to Whithy. Reeve Jackson also thought the council was indebted to Mr, Annes for his activity and suggested that the least it could do was to name a committee which might arrange to meet siimlar committees repre- senting Toronto and Oshawa, Mayor Bateman, then appointed Reeve Jackson, Deputy Reeve Un- derwood, Councillor Ormiston and Engineer Pringle as the local com- mittee, with, of course, His Wor- ship included, One Family For Relief Counc, Ormiston reported that there was but one family now re- ceiving relief from' the town to which Mayor Bateman replied that | this committee was very fortunate | to have so few on its hands. Counc. Bowman for the fire and light committee recommended a street | light on John street between Brock and Perry streets, Counc, Brough- ton thought that there were many other places in town needing a street light just as much, but upon motion of Counc. Bowman, second- ed by Deputy Reeve Underwood, the recommendation was approved, Counc, Broughton alone voting against it. Reeve Jackson took time to ex- plain the success of the delegation to the highways department at To- ronto in connection with the cor- poration's endeavor to secure a 650 percent, refund of the amount levied by the county from Whitby in the past two years. He outlined the reason upon which the county based its contention for not paying this sum and he praised Engineer | Pringle for discovering in the | municipal act a clause upon which the town could act to secure the refund. He also thanked Deputy Reeve Underwood for the support he bad given him when the matter was broached in county council. Councillor Bowman supplemented the reeve's remarks by compliment- ing him for the energy he had dis- played in bringing Whitby's posi- tion to the attention of the depart- ment and in securing a ruling upon which the corporation and county could abide. Routine Business Other items of business included the passing of several small ac- counts chargeable to finance, streets, fire and light, town prop- erty and relief totalling $152.98, two of these accounts being sub- ject to correction. Accounts which bad been previously paid and were passed last night totalled $16.87. Upon motion of Counc. Pringle, seconded by Counc. Ormiston the time of the return of the assessor's roll was extended until Monday, April 15. Town Clerk Frost's re- guest that the town purchase the statutes revised to 1927 was grant- ed upon motion of Counc. Mulock, seconded by Counc. Bowman.

Taylor Will Plead Not Guilty--Case Remanded TROUBLE IN CAFE Accused is Alleged to Have Had Liquor in Public Place (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 20. -- Upon re- quest of T. K. Creighton, of Osha- wa, counsel for the defendant in the case against H. L. Taylor, of Whitby, was adjourned by Magis- trate Willis, in police court yes- terday afternoon until Friday, March 23, at 2 o'clock. The charge against Taylor is of having liquor in a place other than a pri- vate dwelling contrary to the Li- quor Control Act and the alleged offense is supposed to have taken place in a local Chinese restaur- ant early last Wednesday morn- ing. Mr. Creighton took objec- tion to the information as laid by Chief Gunson on the grounds that it did not enclose any specific offense. The defense counsel also moved for dismissal contending that there was no section in the L.C.A. covering such a charge. He pointed out that under certain circumstances a man holding a permit could have liquor in other than a private dwelling where, for | instance, he was conveying it from one residence to another. Crown Attorney MecGibbon cone sidered that section 90 covered the particular case and Magistrate Willis ruled out the motion for dismissal as he considered that it was for the defense to prove whether the accused was not vio- lating the law, Taylor is plead- ing not gullty, Evidence of the interest being taken in the trial was shown by the large attendance at the cot yesterday, practically every seat being taken. It is alleged that following an argument in the cafe a fistic encounter ensued between himself and the chief. Previous to the incident Chief Gunson and Constable Thémas were diverting westbound traffic on the Kings: ton highway at the corner of Dun- dah and Brock streets on account of the overflowing of Duffin's creek at Pickering.
