- 'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1928 'May Reach Sett lement With O in John S Fine Barn on Meadowbrook Farm Destroyed by Fire Building Owned By W. Gor- don Falls Prey to Flames But All Livestock is Sav- ed -- Whitby Fire Pump- er Responds to Call (By Staff Reporter) Whitbby, June 28.--Fire last night destroyed the fine large barn of W. Gordon, on Meadowbrook Farm, which is situated. on the town line, approximately one mile north of the Kingston highway. The conflagration is thought to have originated in the hay loft, and when it was discovered shortly be- fore 5 o'clock (Standard time), the flames had already made rapid headway and efforts to confine their spread proved futile. With the assistance of neighbors all the live- stock was saved, but although the chemical truck of the Whitby fire brigade responded promptly to a call sent in, little could be done to save the huge building from the roaring inferno, and, feeding on beams and flooring, the flames soon licked up through the roof and enveloped the walls, The extent of the loss has not been ascertained, but it is undér- stood that the barn was partially covered by insurance.

Pre-election promises were not kept regarding the effects of "temperance" legislation--bootlegging was going on just the same, In many places conditions were just as bad as under the old license sys- tem.

We would espec- ially emphasize the order, "speak to the chair and not to your neighbor." Addition: That all officers be elected according to Constitution, Censorship of Reading Matter Whereas so much undesirable read- ing matter is in circulation, we therefore heartily endorse the action taken on the part of some local Un- fons to keep in touch with our lib- rary boards and to co-operate with the, censorship of magazines and pa- pers sold at our news stands; and approve the recent action of our Fed- eral Government in endeavouring to exclude from our country a large number of magazines. Resolved that, "believing that in- toxicated drivers should have licenses cancelled, that we agitate that mag- istrates take the course in dealing with persons who violate the law in this respect."

SILENCE COMPETITION ON . The British House of Commons has a competition of claims for si- lence-period records that has aroused interest similar to that stimulated by flagpole sitters. Sir James Agg- Gardner, who at 82 is the oldest M, P., was supposed to have the record with only one speech in 25 years, until it was disclosed that as Chair- man of the Kitchen' Committee he frequently was compelled to answer questions. J. Hope now claims the Sphinx-record of 20 years in the House without taking part in a de- bate, It is even said that the rumor that he once so far forgot himself as to interject "Hear, hear," is an ex- aggeration. : ALL WET Who will be the first American lady to swim the Atlantic?

Mrs. William Pugsley spoke again and her encouraging address was much appreciated. Rh COMPLETING PLANS FOR THE MAMMOTH PICNIC JULY 21 Hon. R. B. Bennett and Hon. John S.

The idea took, and as the heavy motor traffic on the highway has made the Foads so badly worn that bus riding has be- come decidedly uncomfortable the government line is securing nearly all of the business, 650 SCOTS AT TEA FUR 300 Fondness for, tea on the part of Australian Scotchmen caused em- barrassment to officials of the city of Glasgow, Scotland, recently, The 500 touring Scots had been officially in- vited to visit Glasgow for tea, the city being "dry," and when assured that only about half of them would appear, for a mere "cookie shine," the thrifty city officials provided liq- uid for only 300. Contrary to expec- tations, all of the visitors appeared, and brought their friends with them. The result was that the officials had to quench the thirst of 650 guests with tea sufficient for less than half that number. ZAGE THREE en a & treet Extension City Solicitor Says | Court Action May Not be a Necessary Move Col. J. F. Grierson, K.C, Outlined Action of City in Authorizing Expropria. tion Proceedings and Ex- pects Mr. Hinds, Owner of Property, Will Make a Favorable Offer Hope that a settlement may be reached without resorting to court action in the expropriation proceed- ings whereby the city is obtaining possession of lands to extend John street to Nassau streeet, was ex- pressed this morning by Col. J. F. Grierson, - K.C., city solicitor, to a representative of The Oshawa Daily Times. Col. Grierson stated that Thomas F. Hinds, who owns the lands af- fected, and who lives in Califor- nia, is away from his home city in that state, and that it would be impossible to obtain a reply from himr on the question for a couple of weeks, as he will not have re- turned to his office until July 7. Mr. Grierson, in a letter*addressed to Mr. Hinds, has outlined the ac- tion which the city couneil took, expropriating the land necessary to extend John street to a width of 66 feet, west from its present lim- its, south of Centre street school. He also invited Mr. Hinds to make the city an offer? and have the set- tlement as to cost made without recourse to further legal action. The city solicitor feels that it is quite probalile that Mr. Hinds will make the city of Oshawa an offer that will be acceptable to the eity, although it may be necessary to make an appointment whereby Mr, Hinds will meet the city solicitor and representatives of the city in conference here, to come to an agreement on the price to he puid for the property. If this cannot be agreed upon, Col, Grierson states, it will be necessary for hoth par- ties to appear before the county court judge at Whitby, with witnes- ses, and have the judge decide the price and costs to be paid by the city.
