THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1928 ife Police Chief Thrown F ISCUSSES NATTER "OF PURCHASING * LOGAL GAS PLANT "Why Deal Has Not Been Concluded ditor Oshawa Daily Times. . * Dear Sir:--Beiyg a free lance in this matter, unattached to committee glique, or class I apply for the usual rmit to express my views in this tter. * At the outset let me state I am §nd always have been a staunch sup- porter of the principle of public own- ership or control of all public utili- ties ; whether hydro, gas or water-- and I could name the control of one ther utility just as important to the ublic as the above three, and in use s long as water, " Personally I am at a loss to see why--on the face of published facts Hi figures the special committee of the council; have not been able by now to have concluded a deal and recommended something to council. Possibly a few "sparks" may ignite the gas in their gasometers and cre- te action, : The published figures of the hydro for the Oshawa gas plant are pur- chase price $225,000.00, and to aid the city the hydro are prepared to accept 30 year city debentures at 5) per cent, That means an annual payment of $15,481.21 extending over the period of 30 years until the debt is wiped off. The audited gross surplus stated to he $33,707.18 leaves a net surplus of $18,225.97. ; : Now, assuming--and no evidence has appeared to the contrary--that the hydro figures are correctly based as to net surplus of $18,225.97 per annum, and which would of course represent the city's revenue, then the city would be getting 8 per cent on its investment, on a permanent basis --and if any financial expert £a rove to me that a capital invest- roy of $225,000 yielding $18,225.97 per annum' is not an 8 per cent in- vestment then I am "in Dutch. It must or should be considered whether the hydro have made or written off the full allowance or de- ductions for overhead and depreci- ations before arriving at the above net surplus of $18,225.97. 1 think, however, he would be a bold man to assume in face of all known facts that proper care has not heen taken by the hydro in this respect, : Now there may be those who will say or think this is not the correct method to pursue in arriving at its value; but that land, structures, gas- ometers, etc, should be separately measured, and computed, etc, to ar- rive at a fair selling price or value, 1f so, I am not in agreement. My stand is that this is a going concern producing a profit, with an undoubted potential value, Any business veteran knows too well, 'that all canny Scotchmen will always say "There's no sentiment in business, gentlemen." This is a busi- ness proposition and not a sentimen- tal one, We have "the stand," whether you call it a 2 by 4 stand or not, It is turning out the goods and if you Oshawa people handle it, and de- velop it as you should it can produce "fruit. a hundred fold." That is the position today. I have remarked in your paper, and I note a recent circular repeats it that, "we must look ahead and plan ahead." The logical location for such a plant is not an uptown location, but adjacent to the harbour for future indisstrial development. Watch the move of the Hamilton By-Products Coke Ovens, Ltd, ne- gotiating a competing and monop- olizing service to all municipalities from Hamilton to Oakville, Is there no faith in this direction for our future and greater Oshawa to give a similar seryice east and west of us. . In view of all things who will at- tempt to minimize its potentialities, Would not the citizens prefer to have control of their own rates, as well as the opportunities of the vari- ous subsidiary industries that might and should follow with a completed harbour and consequent industrial harbour development. Are all the federal subsidies taken up for cooking plants, or may any future ones be granted. I believe it highly probable, jealous eyes of large corporations are just waiting to jump in for the chance. would you pay for your gas for house heating, refrigeration, garbage incin- eration, etc, to say nothing of losing our comptrollership of new and need- ed industries where coal and gas are concerned. There are wheels within wheels, 'and many little cogs in each wheel. Consider: Is it not better whilst the 'chance is ours to control the big wheel, rather than for each one of us 'to be just a little cog, to be priced and controlled at the will of the big - wheel. Beware. Watch the strategist and + satalite. What did Oshawa lose when it failed to purchase the Oshawa Street ' Railway for a song. : ! Thanking you for so intruding on your space and trusting my sparks 'are mot too hot, but always in ser- | vice. S. G. CARNELL.

FIRMS Carpet Manufacturers Invade American Field--Linked With Three Others With the announcement that the Barrymore Seamless Wilton Co. of Philadelphia, a subsidiary of the Toronto Carpet Co., has joined with three of the largest manufacturers of floor eover- ings in the United States to mar- ket its products through W. and J. Sloan and Co, of New York, another stage in the invasion of the United States manufacturing field hy a Canadian firm ha* been reached. The Barrymore Co., pioneers in the weaving of seamless Wilton carpets, was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1821, Since that time two plants, one in Phil- adelphia and another in Holmes- burg, employing over 600 hands# have heen opened. Up until the present, this com- pany has distributed 'ts products through its own selling organiza- tion, with offices in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, Tt was recently approached by WA and J. Sloane and Co. of New York, who wished to obtain the sole selling rights of Barrymore prod- uucts in conjunction with the goods of the Alexander Smith Co., manufacturers of Axminster carpets ,the output of the C. H. Masland Co., manufacturers of tapestry, rugs and ecarpeis, and the output of W. and J. Sloan' and Co., makers of linoleums an? felt base. Negotiations were for the Sloane Co,, the merchandising of the entire Barrymore output from Novem- her 1, 1928, None of th2 com- panies in the deal have changed hands in any way. They are all independent. but will work to: gether, The output Company will still be through offices in Montreal, ronto and Vancouver, It was mot until the seamless Wilton carpet looms were per- focted at the Toronto Carpet Co,. plant that the American branch of the firm was opened. The looms, originally brought from Germany after the war, were improved by men here in Toronto, with «the result that a machine was evolved capable of .roducing a product which filled a long-felt need. The Toronto Carpet Co. was founded by ¥. B. Hayes, who is still presidept of the company. in 1891. The story of its develop ment, during the founder's life- time, is one of the romances of big business. completed to take over Canadian marketed To- of , the REMANDED ON ASSAULT CHARGE John Poulos was arraigned in police court this morning before Magistrate Hind on a charge of assaulting Victor Kay Ivenaugh.

A, | { SUBSTANTIAL GAIN SHOWN IN REPORT AT CAMP MEETING Adventists Gave $44,854.95 to Missions in Past Two Years Elder M. V. Ca..pbell, the Presi- dent of the Ontario Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists, gave his report of work accomplished dur- ing the past biennial term which showed advance steps in every phase of denominational work. The conference reached a per capita gift to missions of 60 cents per week or a total sum for the past two years of $44,854.95 a gain over the previous term of $11,217.55. For the home work a tithe was paid the treasury of $54,576.35 showing an increase of $4,717.25. The membership of the confer- ence gained a net increase and the the sales of ltierature took a pump of $9,696.70 reaching the encour- aging amount of total sales $53,- 250.38. At the forenoon Bible Study Elder L. A. Hensen of the General Conference Medical Department stressed the importance of making religion practical, The speaker pictured the life of Christ as a pattern for men today emphasiz- ing that before He had performed a single miracle prior to His pub- lic ministry His life among the men that frequented the carpenter shop called forth from God the words "This is my son in whom I am well pleased." At the afternoon Bible Study, Pastor W. W, Kastman of Wash- ington, D.C. laid before his hearers the importance of the words of Christ, "Man shall not ive by bead alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" urging the importance of daily Bible Study. The various committees such as Nomination, Plans, Credentials, Baptism, and Pastoral were ap- pointed, who will soon bring in reports of their deliberations. The day closed by an address to a full tabernacle on "S'gns of Our Times" by the President of the On- tario Conference, Pastor W, V. Campbell, The much mooted question "When Will Jesus Return" showed a conviction in the minds of men brought about by the daily happen- ings around us. Jor example, on the question of 'famine,' 3,000,- 000 are starving in the Shantung Province of China. The ominous fact that Italy has turned the 'efforts of several op- tical factories" towass production of "s'ght lenses' for military pur- paises and the product of some clothing factories was already con- tracted for the next two years to make military uniforms, speaks to the observant and reading men of today, Mir, Campbell closed his remarks with a vivid picture of the trans- formation of the old lumbering "tank" used so effectively in the Great War with their output of Britain's factories today, fitted with Rolls Royce engines tavelling at 30 miles per hour, brushing aside every obstruction, all said the speaker, are not preparations for peace; and earnestly prayed that the noble men who are de- voted to the maintainence of peace may receive an unction that will bless and prosper their efforts, Pastor R. A. Hubley, late of In- dia, wlil speak tonight. SPEND DOMINION DAY AT PORT HOPE The citizens of Port Hope are again celebrating Dominion Day on July 2 this year.

Mrs. Gun- son and two children were occupy- ing the rear seat of the car when the fire was noticed directly un- derneath. The chief was en- deavoring to pull over ta the side of the road when a puff of smoke compelled him to come to such a sudden stop that the occupants were jerked out of their seats and Mrs. Gunson who had the door open fell out to the pavement. The fire is thought to have been caused by the .woodwork of the rear seat coming in contact with the heated exhaust pipe. The incident happened on the highway, near Scarhoro, yester- day morning, as. the chief was returning from Mimico where he had taken an insane woman, Mrs. Gunson, acting as matron. She Had opened the ear door in order to make a quick escape for her- self and two children from the flames. Fortunately the fire dia little damage as the chief was able to extinguish it by prompt action. Other than a severe shaking up, Mrs. @Gunson suffered no injury. MANY EXPEDITIONS PLANNED IN NORTH S.S. Beothic Preparing for Its Annual Arctic Trip Ont, June 23.--The 1928 summer season will be one of great activity in the Northwest Territories of Canada. In the vast regions "north of Sixty" administered by the De- | partment of the Interior exploratory | and investigatory surveys will be | carried an by officials of the North | West Territories and Yukon Branch, and the annual patrol will he made | by the S.S. Beothic. The members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice stationed in the North will carry on overland patrols in their work of maintaining law and order, Preparations are now under way in the North West Territories and Yukon Branch for the annual trip of the 8.5, Beothic to the = police posts in the Arctic archipelago, The ship will sail from North Sydney, Nova Scotia, on July 18, It is ex- pected that the ports of call during the northward trip will be Godhayn, Greenland; Pond Inlet, Baffin [s- land; Dundas Harbor, Devon Island; and Craig Harbor and Bache Pen- insula, Ellesmere Island, The return trip from Bache Peninsula, the far- thest north post, will begin sometime during the first week in August. The ship will again touch at Craig Har- bor, Dundas Harbor and Pond In- let, and then move on to Pangnir- tung and Lake Harbor, Baffin Is- land. Circumstances will determine whether or not the expedition will sail to points in Hudson Strait far- ther west than Lake Harbor. George P. Mackenzie will again be the officer in charge. Dr. Living- stone will go north this year to Pang- nirtung where he will remain for a year carrying out medical, patrols among the natives on Baffin Island. In the districts of Mackenzie and Keewatin many important investiga tions will be conducted. Major L. T. Burwash, exploratory engincer of the North West Territories and Yu- kon Branch, left Ottawa early 'in June for Edmonton en route to Akla- vik in the mouth of the Mackenzie | river. From the latter point he will begin his patrol eastward along the Arctic coast, The principal investiga- tion to be carried on by Major Bur- wash will be a further search around King William Island for record and relics of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition of 1845; a survey of na- vigation conditions in Franklin's strait and Peel Sound; an examina- tion of a proposed tractor-train route from Wager Bay on the west coast of Hudson Bay to Cockburn Bay south of King William Island; and a visit to the magnetic pole on Boothia Peninsula. It is expected that Major Burwash will complete his work in the autumn of 1929. A patrol of the musk-ox sanctuary lying "on the Hudson and Thelon Rivers cast of Great Slave Lake was undertaken early in the year and this work will be continued during the summer. H. B. Hoare left Ot- tawa in January for Edmonton. From that city he travelled by train go the end of steel at Waterways, where he began an 800 mile journey by dog team to his base camp on the site of Fort Reliance, at the cast end of Great Slave Lake and about 35 miles Ottawa, ery!--Kingston Whig-Standard. southwest of the westermost corner of the 15,000 square mile game Sanc- \ Are Applied tuary. He is accompanied by a ward- en from Fort Smith and his investi- gations will not be completed until the summer or fall of 1929. Investigations to determine what areas in the Northwest Territories are most suited for grazing of herds of reindeer will be continued this summer in the north of Grea: Bear Lake. Messrs A. E. and R. T. Por- sild, who have been engaged in this work since 1926, have reported on their biological investigations in the area lying east of the Mackenzie ri- ver delta and inland from the Arc- tic coast and the results appear to be very satisfactory. The problem of securing for the native population of Canada's far northern regions: a source of food and glothing to sup- plement that provided by the dimin- ishing wild life is a pressing one and the introduction of reindeer herds is looked upon by the Government as a possible solution. Patrol work forms an important stationed along Canada's northern coast and on the islands of the Arc- tic archipelago. In the western Arb tic Sub-District, the completion of their new auxiliary schooner, the construction 'of which was begun last' summer, will greatly lessen the difficulties under which<the polite work in this administrative area. The new schooner will operate from Herschel, the most westerly post of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on the Arctic coast, and will vidit at regular intervals the posts of Bail- lie Island, Bernard Harbor, and Cambridge Bay to the east. The boat has been specially strengthened and equipped so that her complement of thirteen officers and men may, whan necessary, serve as a floating de- tachment at any place on her pa- trol, FIND MAIN STREET IN CORINTH, CLOSED FOR 1,600 YEARS New York, June 21.--Dr. T. Les- lie Shear, Professor of Classical Archaeolozy at Lrinceton Univer: sity, returned vesterday from (1eece, wnere he has spent four years excava'ing the ruins of an- etent Corinth. He brought Lack! the news that tha "Main street," which ran from the market place to the theatre, has been found af- ter thousands of tons of earth! which covered it for rearly 1,600 years had been removed. Dr. Shear said it was the same street described in the chronicles of Pausanias, who was the Bae- deker of Greece, in A.D. 160, and had heen lost to sight since A.D. 396, when Alaric the Goth invad- ed the country and devastated Corinth, A Roomy Theatre After uncovering the theatre which had seats for 20,- 000 persons, Dr. Shear said he devoted his time to finding the famous 'Main street" of ancient Corinth, "I have always heen curious ahout this street," said Dr. Shear. "It is so. definitely named and described by Pausanias, While 1 wanted to locate the street, it was still more important to find the temples of Zeus and Aescuapius, which Pausanias said were a lit- tle to the north of Main street! Now that I have unearthed that thoroughfare I will devote my time next year to discovering the ruins of these two temples." Ruins Were Spared Dr. Shear said the street is 12 feet wide, with sidewalks eight inches above the level of the roadway, and three feet wide. The material used in the construetion of the street was a pinkish lime- stone, and it is still in a good state of preservation, he added, Dr. Shear said the earthquake which shook down many of the houses of modern Corinth last April did not damage the ruins ex- cavated on the site of the ancient city, LIFEGUARD SAVES BOY ENTANGLED IN WEEDS Windsor, June 22.--Diving into a mass of weeds at the civic bathing beach, at the foot of Bridge Avenue, this afternoon, James Farmer, life. guard at the beach, rescued .an unidentified boy who had become entangled in the weeds. The boy was struggling in.12 feet of water, when Farmer seized him by the hair, and dragged him to shore. The boy said his name was Francis. A SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSES EXCITEMENT Considerable excitement was 1m evidence this morning about eleven o'clock when the mew fire siren began to blow furiously. It was at first thought that a repetition of last Thursday's conflagration was taking place, and a large number of people began comgregating around the fire hall. However, upon inves- tigation, # was learned that Cnief Elliott was testing the siren, with the aim of repairing it. ancient A pedestrian could get his name in. the papers by walking over a moterist.--Brandon Sun. part of the dutics of the members of ! the Royal Canadian Mounted Police || i sideration Mrs. Ontario.
