"a ies, TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1928 PAGE THREE Purchase of Street Cleaning Equipment For City Authorized Council Lets Contract to Widen Dangerous Bridge Near the Lake T. B. Mothersill to Cony! Out Work -- Streets in Cedardale to Receive At- tention -- To Pave One Portion ---- Roads in Cedardale and Simcoe street south to the Lake received attention last night at the council meeting, A contract was let for the widening of the bridge near the Lake; construction of pavement from Erie to Frank street on Simcoe street was ordered, and council was advised that the Board of Works in- tends to gravel Gifford and Rowena streets. T. B. Mothersill and company re- ceive the contract for the abuttments and wing walls in connection with the widening of the bridge, their tender of $2,575 having been accept- ed. The opinion was expressed by several members of the council that this work should be done as quickly as possible, to have the bridge wid- ened before heavy summer traffic begins. The contract will be signed by the mayor and clerk at an early date, and work will, it is expected commence immediately, Negotiations have been proceeding with the Osh- awa Railway Company, who are assisting financially in the improve- ments to the bridge, and it is expect- ed that an agreement will be made with this company in the near future, The deck of the bridge will then be constructed. The Board of Works, in whose re- port these recommendations were contained, further advised paving of Simcoe street south, which was pass- ed. The part to be paved extends through the most thickly populated portion oi Cedardale, from Erie street to Frank street, The pave- ment will be 32 feet wide, with curh and gutter. The Oshawa Railway arc asked to. move their tracks in he centre line of the pavement, and pay for the extra cost of paving through- out the track grading and ballasting of Gifford and Rowena streets, in Cedardale, the council was advised by the Board of Works that "these streets will be given similar attention to other streets." A motion inquir- ing about these streets had been presented to the Board of Works at a previous council meeting, DEATH SUMMONS OSHAWA PIONEER (Continued from page 1) trict when Indians abounded here, and railways, automobiles and macadam roads were still unheard of in Canada, He witnessed the trangformation from a small centre to its present status, He took a stroke weeks ago, and never regained speech until his death yesterday morning.

G. S. Henry, of the Department of Highways, in con- nection with the gravel pit agree- ment made between this depart- ment and the gorporation concern- ing the right of the town to obtain gravel from the government pit sit- uated on the Heard farm, wniby township, at the rate of 5 cents per cubic yard. The pit has recently been sold to the township, which denies the validity of the agreement The town must either fight the township or make arrangements to procure gravel elsewhere. TO RENT TRACTOR FOR TOWN STREET If Whitby Decides to Buy It the Rent Will Be Deducted (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 17--The matter of purchasing or renting a tractor for use in pulling the street grader came up for discussion at the coun- cil meeting last night. A tractor suitable for this work would cost $2,235, while to rent a similar ma- chine it would cost $20 a day. Town Clerk Frost estima'ed that by sell- ing debentures at the present value of money this sum could be retired in five years with an approximate annual payment of $490. Town En- gineer Pringle stated that such a machine could also be used ex- tensively for clearing the streets of snow in the winter. Councillor Threadgold, chairman of the streets committee, consider- ed that it would be necessary to spend 45 days this year in grading and ditching unpaved streets, He opined that it would be practically impossible to have good gravel roads withont proper drainage. By renting a tractor it would cost $900 if it were used 45 days. One com- pany has offered to allow the town the use of a new tractor for 15 days as a tryout, At the end of this time if the town should of- fer to buy it, then the rent which would otherwise be charged would be deducted as payment on ine machine. Deputy Reeve Under- wood moved that the streets com- mittee be empowered to rent a tractor for 15 days on this basis. The motion was seconded by Reeve Jackson and carried, There is a prospect that the town might be able to rent its grading outfit for part of the year to the county. Word was received while the dis- cussion was going on that Oshawa had just purchased a caterpillar at a cost of $3,555. ROADS IMPROVED BY COLD SPELL (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 17.--The last cold spell, although disagreeable to the majority of people, has had the ef- fect of improving the unpaved roads of the district, which have been in bad shape this spring. Mo- torists are mow at Jeast able to drive ' over them; whereas two weeks ago in some places this was a practical impossibility. The pres- ence of deep mud holes was blamed upon heavily loaded trucks, and it is a known fact that the dirt roads of the whole province are damaged to a great extent by these heavy vehicles at this time every year.

A good newspaper is one of our greatest instruments of education and its memory should be long and uan- erring. Is the "Times" deficient in this respect? It would seem so. In your issue of yesterday state that the German i Z.R.3 was the first to make the At- lantic flight from East to West, which feat was accomplished in 1924. As a matter of fact a Britisn dirigible made the first Westerly crossing just nine ycars ago, arriving 4 safely in New York in' the spring of 1919 and aiter a few days stay returned to England, yon It is un-corrected articles of this kind which help to becloud histori- cal events. In this country there is not one person in a thousand (and in the country to the South per- haps not onc person du a million), who knows that the Atlantic was first crossed entirely by steam pow- cr, by a DBritish-Canadian vessel which sailed irom Qug¢bec under a Scotch captain from Nova Scotia, If you ask the first hundred peo- ple you meet on the street who was the first to fly over the ocean about 75 per cent will immediately answer "Lindbergh"--some of the wise ones arc not to be caught so easily and will knowingly tell you the first crossing was made by a fly- ing boats of the y. only will rem®mber that a plane flown by Alcock and Brown crossed the Atlantic in a single "hop" nearly tem ycars ago and landed in Ireland, In the interest of accuracy I point out that the German letter in the possession of the Oshawa gentleman-- while undoubtedly an interesting and valuable souvenir--was not properly desc ribed in your issue of Saturday, inasmuch "slow Old John Bull" British as dirigible | SIDNEY VENTON Newly appointed Chief of Police of Bowmanville who for many years was a valuable member of Osh- awa police force, had beaten out his rival by some- thing over five years, Yours very truly Ewart McL aughlin' Editor's Note: --We are indebted to Mr. Ewart McLaughlin for draw- ing our attention to this serious er- ror.

W. L. Mackenzie King, the Prime Min- ister, tonight. PROJECT IS INEVITABLE The Engineering and Advisory Boards of both' countries having agreed that the project is feasible and™ advisable, the statesmen, in the exchange of communicalions, indicate that the improvement is ineyitable. Te is true that Premier King and Hon. half of Canada, have proceeded cautiously, but Hon, Kellogg, Secretary of State of the United States, frankly admits that the waterway would prove of "tremenodus advantage," and de- clares without reservation . that "the United States will be prepar- ed to co-operate to the fullest ex- tent with the Canadian Govern- ment at any time for the purpose the improve- ment contemplated." Commission Suggested He even suggests that "the two countries proceed with the ap- pointment of Commissioners to discuss sointly the problems with a view to the formulation of a convention appropriate with the subject." Nor does he consider that the Dominion Government's consultation with the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec need de- lay negotiations. He agrees with the Canadian proposal to prohib- it the export of power, and makes it clear that the United States is prepared to remedy the situation created by reason of the Chicago diversion. The Government of Canada does not appear so eager to pro- ceed as the United States, and points out that the United States would benefit much more from the enlarged navigation facilities than Canada. In one of his letters Mr, Massey observes that "Canadian agricul- ture is more directly affected by the restrietions om the importa- tion of Canadian farm products Brandon Sun. which have been imposed by the Public Main Proposals of the Joint! or The Develop ment in Detail United States in recent years, with the object, it is understood, of as- sisting agriculture in those Wes- tern States whieh would share so largely in the benefits of the pro- posed St, Lawrence waterways. 'his situation and the effects upon the maritime sections of Canada of United States duties on the products of the fisheries, are among the factors which have | contributed to bringing it about | that public opinion in Canada has not so clearly, cdystallized In| favor of the waterway project as apnears to he the case in the United States." Questiontof Costs The Canadian Minister raises the question of financial obligations. attention to the findings of the | National Advisory Committee,' to the heavy expenditures made on the St. also | cost and He calls | Lawrence and on the Welland Ship "Canal, to the | burdens imposed by the war, to the railway oblirations arising out o fthe war, and that in the view of the National Advisory Com- mittee it would not he sound pol- | icy to assume heavy public obliga- | tions for the St. Lawrence project. | The Canadian Government, Bow- Vincent Massey, on be- | Frank K. | ever, asked the United States Gov- | ernment if it would be willing to | accept the Canadian Advisory Committee's report as a basis of negotiations. The reply was in | the affirmative with some reserva- | tions and it is interesting to note | that the division of cost of the project would entail a total of %400000,000 on the part of Cana- da and $383,000,000 for the United States. Fair Division Wanted Mr. Kellogg notes that in the view of the Canadian Advisory Committee the question of the ad- visability of the improvement at the present time depends upon the solution of a number of financial and economie difficulties and up- on the. further . consideration of certain engineering 'features, but le seems to consider it immater- ial on what section of the water- Way the United States expends its share of the total cost, provided there is 'a fair division of expense for a thorough deep seaway to the ocean. He feels that those who now or in the future profit by the power should bear their share of the expense, but leaves the de- tails to be determined by negotia- tions. The United States fully recognizes the right of the Do- minion of Canada to the owner- ship and use of the Canadian share of the power which may be developed in the international section of the waterway as well as to all the power developed in the national section, and it recog- nizes also that the disposition of the power is. purely a domestic question. already | DEFEAT BYLAW T0 ABOLISH FEES OF POLICE DEPARTM'T City Council Approves Buying a Grader and Tractor Costing $5,700 Council Holds Present Sys- tem in Best Interests of Whitby (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 17.--A bylaw to abolish the fee system in connec- tion with the local police introduc- ed by Counc. Ed. Bowman at the regular session of the town coun- cil, last night, was lost by the de- cisive vote of 8 to 1, the mover of the emasure being the only one to support it. After the vote had been taken Counc. Bowman stated that he was still firmly convinced that the fee system was inimical to the best interests of the town and he forecasted that in the not distant future Whitby would stand with other Central Ontario towns which had done away with it. The bylaw would be an amend- ment to bylaw 1267 .in as much as clause 12 would be struck and the following clause substituted in its place, "All fees paid by the county and province of Ontario for the services connected with the arrest and proseution of crim- inals and all fees payable by per- sons prosecuted for non-indictable offences or infractions of any by- laws of the town shall be payahle to the town of Whitby." The bylaw would also increase the salary of the chief of police from $1500 to $1700 for loss of fees. "Before I speak on the ques- tion," said Mr. Bowman in sup- porting his own motion, "allow me to say that 1 have nothing against the chief of police. When elected to this council 1 promised to do my duty and use my own judgment in all matters. This hy- law will save money to the town of Whitby. Practically every oth- er town in Central Ontario with the possible exception of Burling- ton has abolished the fee system. Is it not like bribery to pay a policeman a salary and then grant him a bonus for getting convie- tions?" The speaker claiming that motorist broke continued hy practically every the traffic laws occasionally and he asked if it would not be simple for a local police officer to augment his fees by standing at the main corners and grabbing off the numbers of cars as they sped by. He admit- ted that the chief was entitled to compensation for his work but believed that his principle duty should be to prevent crime, He then cited figures to show the salaries of the chiefs of police and the amount of revenue brought in by their departments in th towns and cities of Brampton, Oshawa, | Guelph, Oakville, Weston, Bow- | manville, Port Hope and Cobourg. Chief Gunson, who was present at the meeting, stated that his convictions from May to the 'end of March had totalled 301 and that his total income would aver- age between $1,900 and $2,000 a year, including salary and fees, He was opposed to Counc, Bow- man's suggestion, Deputy Reeve Underwood was the first to speak against the mo- tion. He lauded Chief Gunson for his good work in the past and was decidedly of the opinion that the council should not interfere. Counc, Mowat wondered why the thin had been broached at all, He agreed with what the deputy reeve had said. "We have not had as good po- lice service before, to my know- ledge, in the munieipality as we are receiving now," was the strong comment in favor of the chief from Reeve Jackson. i | believe Chief Gunson is doing his work well--fellows who might get «ay are afraid of their life to per- "orm." He thought that general- ly the people were content and advised leaving well enough alone, Counc. Ormiston who was Counc. Bowman's seconder, said that he did not intend to vote for the bylaw unless the chief might receive under straight salary as much as he receives now with fees. He complimented the chief for his work and advanced the theory that a large percentage of the convictions were againet out- giders who believed Whitby to be a"hick" town in which they could act at will. He regretted that it was necessary for Chief Gunson to work such long hours." Coun. Pringle: "I think it would be a mistake for us to in- Who at the inaugural vestry meet.

With epithets describing the methods of the Board of Works as "slip-shod," their report as an endeavor to "fool the public" and the committee as a "shining example of a house divided within itself," Alderman Swanson added his bit to the discussion, which prolonged well into the evening. Finally the debate quicted down to business, and the clauses relating to these machines was passed, an amendment of Mr, Swanson being defeated . Chairman John Stacey of the Board unwittingly started the long and heat- ed debate by raising a question on the Juschase of the tractor, recom- mended by his own committee. He stated in council that he himself thought another machine would have r purchase, although the recommended the heavy Alderman Swanson immediately moved for committee of the whole, and scored the report as a "most remarkable example of a house divid- ed within itself." He then proceeded to another angle, stating that the purchase of this road making mach- immery had not been included in the budget requirements of the Board of Works {ior the year. Declaring that he was absolutely opposed to the Board's "slipshod" methods of con- ducting their business, he demanded that not a dollar be voted to the Board of Works until they brought ir a budget for the year, setting forth what they intended to do in the way of public works. The city tax rate will surely go up next year, as a re= sult of thc overdraft which will be caused by the unexpected expendi- ture of the Board of Works in 1928, and he therefore moved an amend- ment that the matter be referred back to them for further consideration. Alderman Stacey protested that the machines were necded at once for road purposes this spring. Aldermen Douglas and Edwin Jackson support- ed their chairman, and Mr, Stacey continued that "a lot of Mr, Swan- son's speach did not amount to any- thing," for the machines would be paid for by debentures of $3,000 spread over a short term, with a bal- ance of only $2735 to be paid in cash this year. Alderman Morris, chairman of the Committee of the Whole, implored the aldermen to refrain ~ from per- sonalities, and "political burlesque," and get at the business. Alderman Alloway asked why, if the report was signed by all the members of the Board of Works, it was disagreed with and thrashed out over again in council? Discussion centered for a few minutes on a letter received from a tractor company whose tender had not been accepted, implications of which against City Engineer Smith wer@ branded as untrue by members of the council. Alderman Swanson's amendment was then voted on and lost, with only he and his seconder, Alderman MacDonald, favoring it, and the clauses in dispute in the re- port of the Board of Works, carried. The clause authorizing the purchase was passed as follows: -- "We recommend that an Adams No, 8B Grader, complete with scari- fier with extra set of teeth, be pur- chased from the J. D. Adams Co, of Toronto, for the sum of $2,180.00, and that a Caterpillar Tractor Model 30, with canopy top and standard dirt tracks, be purchased from the Ontario Tractor Co., of Toronto, for the sum of $3,555.00, all f.o.h, Oshawa and in- cluding taxes, Coming Events RATES 8 Cents per word each in- sertion.
