Steps looking toward the erection of a new building to house the police and fire .departments were taken at last night's regular meeting of the city council when a recommendation of the fire protection committee was approved authorizing it to engage a competent form of architects to pre- pare preliminary. drawings. The pro- sal is to *erect new buildings on agot street, However, when the architects are engaged the city coun- cil will be called on to pass upon plans and decide the type of building and its exact location among other details. Ts Alderman G. T. Morris in present- ing his report, emphasized the great need for accommodation and thought it' was high time when the city got down to business. Alderman S. G. Carnell supported the chairman in his arguments de- glaring that the present quarters were a disgrace to the city, The po- lice did not even have room to hang a coat while the firemen were even worse off. Alderman John Stacey moved that the clause be referred back until the entire council could meet as a com- mittee and discuss the proposition which would be in the course of a f¢w days. However, that alderman was assured that no action would be taken toward the erection of a build- idg until approved by the council, +The fire protection committee's re port was adopted in its entirety. An- pther important step was authority te bring the staff of the fire depart- ment up to sixteen men with the part tine men being released upon thirty days' notice, {Five hundred feet of 2): inch (Jutta Percha sose will be purchased te supplement the present supply, An additional sectional bookcase and typewriter desk will be purchased fgr the city clerk's department.

Mr. Campbell, "The Canadian Av- fation," will be informed that the City of Oshawa feels,very favorably towards any mover:ient for the es- tablishment of air ports and quite willing to co-operate in anything that would have a tendency to further the movement. The application of M. Jacobs to manufacture and sell peanut butter, tea and coffee on the market was not granted, Street lights will 'be. provided on Bloor street east three hundred fect apart commencing at the present easterly lights on the street. Estimates will be secured for wir- ing 'the buildings on the city farm.

Fire Chief W. R. Elliott states that open bonfires, for the disposal of rubbish, will be allowed during the week. The fires must be care- fuly guarded while burning, how- ever, and must be extinguished before the person in charge leaves them. No fires will be allowed af- ter dusk in tne evening. The proclamation of clean-up week is signed by Mayor Rovert D. Preston, Fire Chief Elliott, Dr. T. W. G. MeKay, M.O.H., and D. A. Hubbell, Sanitary Inspector. They urge that all citizens observe the requirement that all rubbish ana refuse be removed from yards and buildings. on or before Saturday. The most important interest of every citizen is to lovk to Health and Safety First, the proclamation continues, and it is felt thac the individual citizen will lend hearty co-operation. While the proclamation of Clean- Up Week is one made by the local municipality, as a request, it is also an instruction pursuant to a regu- lation of the Provincial Public Health Act, and if necessary will te enforced in Oshawa, we are in- ABOUT "PERSONS Well, anyway, the Supreme Court didn't dare hand down their judgment when the Liberal women Were meeting here & - REGULAR MEETING ST.

EXTENSION OLIVE AVENUE DISCUSSED Albert St, Church Delega- tion Ask if It is Planned-- To Erect Church A delegation, relative to the ex- tension of Olive avenue through to Simcoe street, 'was heard by the city council last night, It was head- ed hy Rev, R. A, Whattam, pastor of Albert Street. United Chureh, and, after he had presented the views of the delegation ,the matter was referred to the City Property committee, with power to confer with the Official Board of this church and other parties interested. Mr. Whattam said that the Board of his church had purchased prop- erty near their present church site, with the expectation of erecting a new and larger church, They would like to know, however, whether or not the council intended to produce Olive avenue westerly, as, if this was done, the street would prob- ably pass through the property of the 'church, If the extension of the street was to be proceeded with, the church board could co-operate by building their church outside the proposed street line, and thus co-operate with the city, "We are in a position to co-operate with you now," Mr, Whattam said, "but later it might he much more difficult," The matter was then referred to the City Property Committee, SANITARY NEEDS T0 BE PROVIDED In Queen Street District-- Question for Finance Committee The question of installing sani- tary conveniences in residences on Queen street and the elimination thereby of the nuisance caused by outhouses on the property, was last night once more discussed by the City Counci} ,and was referred to the finance committee with power to act. At its last meeting, the Board of Health again took up this matter, which has been discussed for some time past, and recommended to the council that action be taken. Ac- cording to the Propincial Public Health Act, the council bas power to install necessary sanitary con- veniences, and charge the cost to the property owners, with the Pro- vineial Department approving the scheme of finance. Alderman D. A. J. Swanson, Wao is also a member of the Board of Health, moved, seconded by Alder- man S. Carnell, that the city clerk write the Provincial Department of Health, asking the consent and approval of the Department that the conveniences be installed under the Public Health Act, and charge the cost to the property affected TORONTO STOCKS (Supplied by Stobie, Forlong & Co.)

"Residents of the neighborhood have been almost driven out of house and home by the stench, It destroys the value of adjacent property, and jt is time we quit fooling with the situation," he con- tinued. Alderman Morris thought that the matter shduld be referred to a committee for discussion for "after several years of the nuis- ance, two more weeks will not mat- ter. He moved an amendment that the matter he referred to the fin- ance committee, with power to act, whereupon Alderman Swanson 'withdrew his original motion and the amendment carried. Alderman Objects to "Seconding ithout His Consent; Done For 16 Years, Says Swanson Motion" A situation that has mot arisen "once in sixteen years", cropped up in city council last night, when Alderman D, Douglas objected to seconding a motion because he hadn't been asked fo do so. And. a few minutes later, Alderman Craw- ford changed his mind, and refused to second a motion that he had been previously asked to help along the smooth road of adoption. It all arose in this way: After many speeches, sallies and sharp words. all about the restrict- ed residential area by-law, Alder- man Swanson rose, and, "seconded by Alderman Douglas," moved the first reading of the bydaw. "But I wasn't asked," =aid Mr. Douglas, "and I object to seconding it." "Very well, I shall get someone that won't object. I did not think it was any harm, as it has been done without objection for 16 years," said Mr. Swanson, an- nouncing after hasty consultation that Alderman E. Jackson had come to his rescue. Then, when jt came to a second reading, Alderman Carnell moved, "seconded by Alderman Crawford" that the by-law be mot read. "[ was asked to second that, but I've changed my mind," said Alderman Crawford, whereupon Alderman Douglas again rose, aud, "with pleasure," seconded Mr. Carnell's motion. J. Rook, J, Russell, J.

Henchell, Gen- eral Sales Manager of the Truck 'land Coach Division of Gerenal Mo- tors, placed the first call over Osh- awa's five-thousandth telephone, installed in his new resdence on Park road north, On Octobér 22nd, 1922, the "Re- former" published the news of the installation of Oshawa's 2000th telephone. On February 14, 1927, appeared the announcement of the 4000th telephone here. In a .lit- tle over a year Oshawa has galied a thousand telephones, certain proof of growth and stability. Today each telephone is more useful, to judge by the traffic load. In October 1922 the operating staff handied an average of 11,700 calls per day. Today it takes a much larger stuff to complete 35, 000 local calls and 900 long dis- tance calls each day. The construction department is on the job constantly creating new facilities to serve the increasing number of subscribers. In fact a complete study of the telephone H. H.

GOWAN PROPERTY NOT DISCUSSED Matter of Submitting the By-law to People Not Reach- ed By Council The question of the purchase of the Cowan property failed to come before the city council last night, although it was on the agen da. It will probably be consider- ed, however, at the specidl meet- ing called Thursday night of this week. and a vote of the ratepayurs may be taken early in June. Providing the council had de- cided the restricted residential area by-law, two by-laws relafive to the purchase of the W, F. Cowan property were next in order. But, when the old town clock pointed perilously near to one in the morn- ing, they decided to adjpurn and resume the session Thursday even- ing. The two hy-laws were, first, authorizing the council to purchase the Cowan property for munici- pal purposes, and, second, a hy- law to take a vote on the Yowan property hy-law. A discussion regarding whe par chase of the gas plant from the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario, also slated for last night, was likewise shoved into the middle of the week. The couus cil hopes to he able to get to it Thursday night, or Friday morn- ing, City Clerk Hare announced to the press this morning that the adjourned council meeting on Thursday night has put a erimp in- to plans for at least two ctvie meetings, Notices had already been prepared, ready for mailing, for a meeting of the Parks Cu.un- mission on that gute. I1ue wvwner meeting was a session of the ceun- cil as committee of the whole, to discuss various civie problems. This has pow heen postponed sine ie. CENTRE TRACKS AS STREET IS PAVED Oshawa Railway to Move Tracks on Section South of Frank Street ------ At the meeting of the city coun- cil last night, a communication was received from H. W. Cooper, manager of the Oshawa Railway Co., stating that his company wes agreeable to moving their tracks to the centre of Simcoe street south of Frank street when this section Is to be paved, as authorized by council. This was requested by the city council at their last regular meeting, The Canadian National Railways also informed the council that they have no objection to Central Park Boulevard crossing the Toronto Eastern Railway right-of-way. They desire a stipulation, however, that the Rafjlway be under no expense for construction or permanent maintenance, The council unanimously accept- ed the invitation of Simcoe Street United Church, for the mayor and aldermen to attend the first ser- vice in connection with the church's Diamond Jubilee, on Sunday morn- ing, May 13, The resignation of W. K. Culling as life guard at Oshawa-on-the- Lake, to take effect on May 24, | was referred to the Finance Com- mittee, An application from the Alger Realty Co., for permission to in- stall a 1,000-gallon fuel oil tank under the sidewalk in front of their Traymore building on King street east, was referred to the Board of Works, A' further evidence of the growth of the business section of Oshawa was seen in the petition of several merchants that better light- ing facilities be installed on Simcoe street south, between John and Ash streets. The petition was re- ferred to the City Property Com- mittee, The application of H. E. Chap- man for the refund in full of his peddlar's license, granted in March, was granted, ALEX KOVACS The funeral was held yesterday afternoon of the late Alex Kovacs, 580 Front street, whose death oe- curred a few days ago in Weston Sapitarium. Mr. Kovacs was a member. of the Hungarian Presby- terian Mission of Oshawa. Rey. hed in Battle Over Gasoline Station Delegations, Petitions and Warm Debate Over Residential Area Bylaw After Council Battles Over Question for Hours With Decision Still Pending as to Whether Section of King Street East Shall Be Declared a Residential Area, Matter is Held Over Until Special Meeting on Thursday Night Because the city council could not decide, at an early hour this morning, whether they had or had not passed the second reading of the by-law creating part of King street east a residential area ,the question was left in status quo, and council adjourned until Thurs- day evening of this week, so that the legal opinion of the city soitei- tor might he obtained by members of the council in the meantime. The whole question hinged on Mayor Preston. Was he present or absent? There he was, large as life, sitting in the mayoralty chair but--was he present, or ahsent? That was the knotty problem with which the council had to deal. It arose after the yeas and nays haa been taken on the second reading of the residential area by-law. There were thirteen aldermen and the mayor, sitting around the council board, and the vote stood 9 for the by-law, and 4 against it, But there was a two-thirds major- ity necessary to carry the measure. If the vote for the byqdaw was computed on the basis of fourteen present, the by-law was lost hy a fraction of a vote, If thirteen as counted the total number present, the by-law carried by a fraction of a vote, Mayor an Interested Party Since the mayor was, in a cer- tain capacity, an interested party in the measure, the real estate deal involved in the particular case he- fore the council, going through his office, it was contended hy some of the aldermen that he should res tire from the chair, and thus be not counted. Others felt that he was mot disqualified from sitting in during the question, and when no decision could be reached on the point, it was suggested that the matter be left "in the air" as it were, and considered Thursday evening. The question of granting a le- ense to the British American Ofl Co,, to erect a service station on the south-west corner of King St. and Ritson road, and, wrapped up with fit, the question of creating King street from Ritson road to 150 feet west of Charles street a residential] area, which would au- tomatically refuse the permit for the service station, was left over until last night's meeting from the special meeting of the council on Thursday, April 26. In the mean- time, both the ratepavers in the vieinity of the proposed gas and oil station and representatives of the company, were busy preparing their sides of the case, and repre- :sentations from both of the inter- (Continued on page 8) A.

BECKEL The funeral service of the late Mrs. H. J. Beckel was held at the home of her brother-in-law, Mr. E. L. Vickery, on Monday, May 17, at 3 o'clock.. Rev. C. W. DeMille, pastor of King street United Church, was in charge of the ser- vice, assisted by Rev. Dr. Dougall Rev. Dr. Fletcher, Rev. F. J. Max- well, Rev. R. A. Whattam and Rev. J. Galt. During the service a duet was sung by Mrs. Friend and Mrs. Crozier. ¥ The floral tributes were many showing the esteem in which the deceased was held by those who knew her. The pall-bearers were six brothers-in-law, Messrs. Frank Burns, Bowmanville, William Beck- el, Taunton, Samuel NanceKwell, Brooklin, Levi Ellins, Columbus, and E. L. Vickery, Oshawa. There are many gasoline saving devices on the market, but a pair of comfortable shoes is the best of all. is Reduced With a view to making greater progress in promoting Oshawa's in- dustrial development D. A. J. Swan- son, of the Industrial Committee, re- commended to the city council last night the advisability of reducing ihe number of members on the commit- tee to three instead of seven as at present. The idea was approved and the mayor will namg the three mem- bers. The mayor will make the fourth member. These will act in conjunction with the industrial com- mittee of the city council. Alderman Swanson in support of Council Industrial Committee to Three Members his recommendation launched in an eulogy of the city. He referred to the statement of the last Sir Wilired Laurier to the effect that this was "Canada's Century." The alderman believed that this was *Oshawa's Century." He pointed out the difti- culties of such a large committee be- lieving that a smaller number of live, active workers could do much to keep Oshawa soaring above other ci- ties of the province. While actually the idea contained in the recommen- dation carried it was put through in the form of a motion. RESOLUTION ON GM.

Graves, was carried unanimously, complis menting both the executive and ems ployees of General Motors on the settlement of their difficulties, When the motion was introduced, a motion for adjournment had been made, and the question of the res stricted residential area hy-law was still before the chair. ¥n order that the resolution be passed, Alderman Swanson moved, and it was unani- mously carried, that the council revert to "motions" and leave in aheyance the business under dis- cussion, so that the motion of Als derman Alloway could be presents ed. Iollowing is the resolution: "This council heartily commands and congratulates the executive and emplovees of General Motors of Canada, Ltd.,, in arriving at an amitable adjustment of recent dif ficulties, and expresses the hope and expectation that the pleasant and cordial relations which have existed in the past will increasing ly continue in the future." -- Born GIBBS--At 584 Montrave Avenue, Tuesday, May 1, 1928, to Mr. and Mrs, James Gibbs, (Ethel M, Bell), a son, (108a) PIPHER--In Oshawa, Saturday, May 5, 1928, to Mr, and Mrs, E, I.

Some may think that we forget him When at times they see us smile But they little know the heartache That a smile hides all the whife. Sadly missed by Wife.
