Council to Give Industries Locating All Facilities: Immediately As an encouragement to industry in Oshawa, the city council took two definite steps last night. They first passed a motion incorporating as part of the city's policy the imme- diate extension of facilities, such as water mains, etc, to any firm estab- lishing a factory or Mot estab- lished in this city; and secondly, they decided to close Oshawa street, from First to Third avenue, to enable the W. E. Phillips Co, Ltd, to extend castward over the present right-of- way of this street, _ In commenting on his first motion, in regard to the city's policy, Alder- man GD; Conant reminded the council that the joint Industrial Com- mittee comprised of three members of the council and three members of the council and three members of the Chamber of Commerce, were starting on a publicity campaign invelving the expenditure of $3,000 to advertise this city. This would be done by means of large illuminated signs, on the highway entrances to the city and at the CN.R, and C.P.R. sta- tions, and in national advertising in Canadian and United States publica- 'tions, The committee needed some such declaration of policy on which to work, The motion of Aldermen Conant and Graves was then passed, as fol- ws "This council of the city of Oshawa adopts and establishes as part of the city's policy to encourage the indus- trial development ei the city, that this city will promptly and on fair and reasonable terms extend all necessary facilities and conveniences fo industries in or locating in the City of Oskawa." In the second matter, closing Osh- awa street for the benefit of the W. E. Phillips Co., on motion of Alder- men Conant and Harman the city solicitor was instructed to promptly take steps to close Oshawa street from First to Third avenues, to sell the land affected to the W, E. Phil- lips Co., and to open a crossing over the Oshawa Railway's right-of-way at Third avenue. The city's first care Alderman Con- and said, was to take care of the industries at present in the city. There was no building within 500 feet of the lands affected on Oshawa stiecet. This action would demon- strate to industries in the city, who were somewhat skeptical that the council was willing to help them in any way possible, SECOND ACCIDENT VICTIM DIES James Marsland, 70, Injured With Wife, Who Died Fol- lowing Accident St. Thomas, Ont, May 22--James Marsland, aged 70, who was injured i nan auto accident o the St. Thomas-London highway on May 13 when his wife was instantly killed, died in the Memorial Hospital this. morning.

ALDERMAN OFFERS STRIP OF LAND TO MAKE STREET WIDER G: D. Conant Forecasts Traf- fic too Heavy for the Present Street (Cable 'Service Ca OFFER 1S ACCEPTED Lands of Other Property Owners Condemned to . Continue Strip Appreciation of Alderman G. D. Conant's offer of a strip of land along Simcoe street south in or- der that the street may be widen- ed at some future date, was voie- ed unanimously by the city coun- cil last night, on motion of Alder- men A. R. alloway and A, J. Graves. The offer was accepted, and lands of other property own- ors will be condemned so that the strip can he continued for the whole length of the street, Alderman Conant's offer was made during the discussion of the paving of Simcoe street south for the largest part of the distance to the Lake. Mr. Conant contended that the increasing traffic would necessitate widening the street to' the width of an avenue. He prephegied' that the traffic to Lakeview Park would be increased materially within the next five years and if the properties affoct- ed are condemned now, they can be purchased by the city at any time within this period. The property owners would be re- strained from building upon them fo the meantime, and the price would be that prevailing now. Alderman Alloway stated that the city should grasp the oppor- tunity of Mr, Conant's offer, for at a later date when it might want the land, the city might have to deal with property owners not so willing to deal with the city as Alderman Conant. He therefore moved: "That with regard to the offer of Alderman G. D. Conant to the council to transfer to the corpora- tion of the city of Oshawa a strip of land along the frontage own- ed by him on the east side of Sim- coe street south, for the purpose of widening the said . street, this council hereby expresses its appre- ciation of this offer and instructs the City Property Committee and the City Solicitor to take the nec- essary steps in co-operation with Alderman Conant, to effect the said transfer to the eity. ' "Further, that the Decessary steps be taken to provide a simi- lar strip of land for public high- way purposes from the city farm. "And further, that the neces- sary legal steps be taken to con- demn the frontage, to the same depth, of any other properties on, the east side .of Simeoe street south between Albert street and the Lake. "And further, that the deter- mination of the width of the said strip and a detailed consideraion of the whole matter be referred to the city property committee to report back to this council." This motion then carried unanimous- 1y. WEATHER Moderate winds, mostly fair tonight and Wednesday, not much change in temperature. 4 Says Trans-Atlantic Flights.

Mr. McMurray explained that he had been elected in 1921 from North Winnipeg which was half the foreign born. Many of these poeple wished to bring relatives to Canada, 'I assisted them but I never charged them a cent." The numbers had become so great that later on he had charged them telegraph costs and such things, Then, he had turned them away.

GOOD PROGRESS ON LAKE BRIGGE Traffic Will Not Be Inter- rupted -- To Cost : $2,575 Construction is well under way for the completion in record time of the Lake bridge about two miles south of the city.

SAYS CITY SHOULD PAY HALF COST OF SUBWAY Council Instructs Counsel to Take All Necessary Steps for Hearing At last night's meeting of the city council a letter was read from the Canadian "National Railways, outlining their position in regard to the construetion of a subway at the Simeoe street south crossing, On motion of Aldermen Conant and Boddy, the city solicitor and Mr, A, W. Greene, Ottawa, who has been retained by the city in this matter, were instructed to take all necessary steps to pro- ceed with the application of the city before the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada. The letter of the C,N.R, review- ed the negotiations which have been under way between the city and the railway since 1923, In 1924 the railway made an offer whereby the city was to pay ap- proximately 26 percent of the cost of paving in addition, Howev- er, no agreement had been reach- ed. Now the railway felt that the city should pay at least 50 per- cent of the cost, exclusive of pav- ing, and other extra expenditures. The railway estimated that the cost would be $250,000 for the construction of a subway with a 17-foot clearance and 60-foot width, sufficient to double-track the Oshawa Railway tracks through the subway. As far as the railway was con- cerned, the matter would have to be left to a later date, as they had no provision in this year's budget to cover any part of the cost of the work. Alderman Conant said that this was' merely a "stall" on the part of the railway. 'The city has no right to stand for such impertin- ence," he declared. The railway is using the crossing at Simcoe street as part of their yards, and it is an outrage to the community. The city had never asked for more than.a 14-foot clearance; they never even suggested a 60-foot width and the double-tracking of the Oshawa Railway; and, as far as the railway having no money was concerned, that was only a bluff. The work would not cost over half of the $250,000 suggest- ed by the railway. The city should proceed with the applica- tion, and "ascertain a fair estimate of the cost. His motion to this effect then carried, ATHENIAN GOV'T RESIGNS AFTER ONLY SHORT RUN (Cable Service to the Times by the Canadian Press) Athens, May 22.--The Coalition Government of Premier Zaimis re- signed today after a brief life of somewhat more than three months.

L. W. McCallum, manager of the Shipping Federation of Canada, to a Senate Committee on the waterways today with respect- to the St, Lawrence project. Mr, Me- Callum assured the committee that his organization was concerned only with ocean shipping and that it was not welded to any partieu- lar port or ports in Canada, It felt, however, that the immense expenditure on such a scheme as the St. Lawrence Waterways could only be justified if it was proven that the benefits would be large, The Federation has given special consideration to the matter and it+had come to the conclusion that the expenditure at present was not warranted. i AYLANTIC FLIERS VISIT MONTREAL First Official Trip to Canada Made By German-Irish - Aviators «+ E- 3 (By Canadian Press) !
