The abolishment of the left-hand furn was made by "men who don't drive cars and don't know anything about it" was Alderman Swanson's comment, It was more dangerous to make the left hand turn on other corners, not protected by traffic lights than it was at King and Simcoe streets, in his opinion, In regard to the parking provision, he gontended that business men must have gars, and must have some place to park them, Another phase was that tourists passing through won't be able to stop long enough to even have a meal in this city, Mayor Preston stated that he opposed the abolishment of the left- hand turn, but favored the parking restrictions, as "it is sometimes neces- sary to protect the merchant against himself." The merchant, and others employed in the down-town section will drive their cars in front of a store, and soon the whole business district is crowded with parked cars, so that people wanting to trade at a certain store often have to park their car two or three blocks away. The 30-minute parking provision would not move traftic fast enough, in his inion, Alderman Alloway said that the left-hand turn at King and Simcde streets was not a sufficiently serious matter that it should be abolished. He thought that, if the former 30- minute parking provision had been enforced, it would be the fairest measure possible, If the ten-minute parking law was adhered to Oshawa would be a laughing-stock from Tor- onto to Montreal, APPROPRIATION OF $13,750,000 FOR - WELLAND CANAL (By Canadian Press) Ottawa, Jupe 5.--An appropria- tion of $13,750,000 for Welland Ship Canal Construction, p#ssed the House of Commons today, Hop.

The trawler "Loutchinsko," off Murman coast also reported hear- ing calls believed to be from the "Italia" but that she was undhle to pick up the actual com len tion because of atmospheric in- terference, Soviet authorities today ordered two ships, the "Jersey" and the "Taimir" to proceed as soon as possible to Franz Josef Land in a belief that the radio messages fe- celved hy amateurs yesterday were sent. out from the dirigible *Ital- ia."

The theory supported by Lieut. Holm, Norwegian flyer, who is now enroute to North Spitzbergen to take up the search by the air, is that the "Italia" descended on the Polar ice north of Spitzbergen and that there was very little chance she was blown to Franz Josef Land, The hobby with Lieut, Holm aboard was believed to have reach- ed Virgo Bay this afternoon and it was thought probable that the Nor- wegian would make reconnaisance since the weather was favorahle for flying, HAILSTORM VISITS CALGARY DISTRICT Calgary, June 5--Calgary district was, visited by slight hail storm late yesterday.

A by-law was to expropriate the lands for the ex- tension of Jobn street. The report of the Board of Works, recommending no go ate action on the extension of Alice and William streets east of Ritson Road, precipitated the discussiop. In connection with the extension of Alice street easterly through the Feldspar Glass Co, property, they reported that "the difficulties and considerations are too great to war- rant proceeding further with the project at the present time" and referred it back to the council for further consideration. They also recommended no action in opening William street from Ritson Road to TO CONDUCT SEARCH FOR NUNGESSER AND COLI, AVIATORS Quebec, June 5--Conyinced that Nungesser and Coli, French fliers, landed somewhere in the Labrador country, Dr. Louis Cusinier will con- duct a search party there this sum- mer, he stated yesterday on his ret- turn from Greenely Island, where he had gone to the rescue of the Bre- men Crew, Oshswa Boulevard, as "po strong petition has been received in the matter, and as it is our opinion that the prices asked for the necessary proporties seem to be too high to warrant the undertaking under the circumstances." The committee re- ported, however, that they are con- tinuing negotiations with the Cen- tral Spring Co. in an effort to open Colborne street from Ritson Road easterly. Mayor Preston asked Alderman Stacey, chairman of thé Board of Works, whether the Board had se- cured a price from Miss A. Wadge on her property with a view to effecting an exchange of that pro- perty for the property required. When Alderman Stacey stated that Miss Wadge had not proached on the subject, the Mayor expressed the opinion that this was the feasible way to undertake the extension of this street.
