ASPHALT NOW BEING PLACED KING STREET Detour Between Ritson Road and the City Limits is Necessary MUCH WIDER Street Now is Thirty Feet Wide at the Narrowest Part ---- The top layer of asphalt is being laid on the pavement on King street, east, between Ritson road and the city limits, Motorists have to detour a block south of the highway until the pavement is na- ished, but when it is completed there will be a wider and smootn surfaced road vastly different from the previous easterly approach to Oshawa. . Under their contract with the city, the Standard Paving Co. have widened this roadway from twenty to thirty feet, adding five feet to each side, The old concrete base was then re-conditioned and made ready for the three-inch asphalt surface coat, which is now bemg laid, The distance covered is 2,712 feet, and the approximate cost of this work, including the laying of curb and gutter, is $32,600, una work was done under the supervy sion of City Engineer W, C, Smith, The new concrete mixer authoriz- ed at the last meeting of the city council, has heen purchased by City Engineer Smith, and arrived in the city this morning. It is a London Non-Tilt type of mixer, made in London, Ontario, and has & caps: ty of 12 cubic feet of comerete in each batch. It will be put to work immediately on sidewalk con- struction on Ritson Road south, where the same sidewalk gang is now working, City Engineer Smith says that this is the latest work in concrete mixers, there heing only nine of this type in operation so far. It will turn out 100 cubic yards of concrete per day with ease, on ev- ery day sidewalk construction, and can handle 140 yards with a big- ger gang taking care of the out- put. It takes only nine seconds to load the mixer, seven seconds to discharge, and one minute to mix each batch. Pavement, sidewalk and sewer construction throughout the city is proceeding rapidly, says City Ep- gineer Smith, about one-third of the conerete base for the pave- ments authorized this year, being already laid. As soon as the con- crete base is laid, asphalt surface will be placed with rapidity throughout the eity. Work on the bridge on Simcoe street south, just north of Lake- view Park, is completed, and the structure is a hundred per cent improvement over thé old one, Whereas formerly oply one auto- mobile could crawl across the bridge at a time, now three cars can, If necessary, cross at once, With the road approach on either side considerably widened, the bridge now provides considerably greater convenience and a much higher degree of safety. The road- way of the bridge is of three-inch pine planks, on staunch steel beams and brackets that will withstand much more than the maximum or weight that will probably ever cross the structure. The railing on the south side of the road is pot yet quite finished, but will be in the course of a few days. 22 Pound Fish Caught in Waters of Rice Lake Talk about fish stores! this one is real.

Copies of a questionnaire have been sent to these firms, with the request that they keep a record of their inter- ~city 'calls, not requiring the calling of "long distance," from July 9 to 14 inclusive, stating the number of calls in which connection was established immediately, and the number in which delays were experienced with the time. The Chamber of Commerce will then cempile a report, based on 'the ex- perience of these fifty business hou- ses, Leon Frazer, secretary of the Chamber, states that complaints have been received regarding delays, and that the Chamber wished to ascer- tain definitely whether these com- plaints were well founded.

Lund- borg who was marooned on the ice off Foyne Island with five Italia survivors for five days, says that all were suffering from fever and most of them showed signs of mental aberration. Little hope is held out for their immediate rescue. Their morale is low. Other details coming from Spitz- bergen conflict with reports of the disastar given out by General Um- berto Nobile. All telegrams from. the base ship "Citta De Milano," where Nobile is, having accepted the rescue first, are being censored. It was learned, however, that No- bile now says that the radio was a right from the first minute after the dirigible crashed on May 25. No- body can explain how the Citta Di Milano and other stations were. un- able to pick it up until June 9 when the base ship first announced that it had a ned communication with survivors. General Nobile's mysterious state- ment about the unexpected fall of the Italia and that the crew was not prepared appeared to conflict with the fact that there were 500 pounds of provisions in the navigating cabin for six people. This was held to in- dicate that measures had heen taken for a forced landing, otherwise the stores would have been kept in the dirigible's interior, Oslo, July 11.--On the ability of the ice breaker Krassin to reach the marooned members of the No- bile party under Lieut. Violiera, near Foyn Island, hangs the fate of the only men of the expedition known to be still alive, Latest reports indicate that they are in bad physical condition and that speed is necessary If they are not to perish. Seemingly, the only other pos- sibility of saving them is through the effort of the steamer Bragan- za, which is steaming northward from King's Bay in an attempt to reach them by another route, Krassin at last accounts was only 25 miles from the stranded group, but was still struggling with bad ice conditions. Higher summer temperatures have caused soft ice surfaces, preventing fur- ther landing of planes equipped with skis. These conditions make impossible help from the air ex- cept in the way of provisions. All accounts coming out of the Arctic indicate that the position of the remaining men is decidedly desperate. They are reported to be in a fevrish- condition and af- fected mentally, with their morale fast giving away before the ap- parent impossibility of bringing them to land and aggravated be- yond expression by knowing thatv succor is so near and yet so far. Anxiety over their position is in- creased by the fact that there has been no radio communication from them in the past two days.

Taken Aback By Chinese Awakening to Vast Possibilities The Japanese have achieved great things in Manchuria, but in the be- ginning, when they inherited the Rus- sian position in the south, they took considerable risks by investing large sums in railway and other enterprises whose prospects were uncertain, At that time it was reasonable that Ja- pan sought to protect the S.M.R. from future competition by obtaining as- surances as regards parallel lines, and to facilitate future development by obtaining the right to build feeder lines. The Chinese now find these commitments irksome, and have been trying to ignore them, much to the disturbance of their relations with Japan, writes the Peking correspon- dent of the London Times. Japan -in endeavoring to stand up for her rights is handicapped in sev- eral ways. Her former having of ag- gression towards China § yield- op Co the Chin- ed, since the W; ares. to a conciliatory ese have taken advantage of the ea- sier relations to put their own inter- pretation on Agreements, When it was r in Tokyo that the Chi- nese were serious ® Progress railway constr: the interests EF om the S.

Wien the Japanese Goy- aka the other day took another stand, the Chinese were indignant and took mo s to conceal it. They warned the United States that the lending of money to Japan for the purposes of development in Manchu- ria would be resented by the whole Chinese nation, with the result that negotiations well advanced were boas meg much to the disappointment of Japan. eanwhile negotiations between Japan and the Mukden authorities for a settlement of Manchurian ques- tions are suspended, but construction of the line from Hailung- cheng to Kirin, for which the carth- work is mearly complete, has ceased as a result of Japanese opposition. The anomalous position, therefore, exists that Japan and China, already partners in extensive railway devel- opment. hi have broken asunder because WINDSOR MAN DIES IN FIRE UNDER TRUCK Louis Niello Was Trapped Under Car Following : Accident COUSIN RESCUED ® Were Returning to Winds sor from Niagara Falls With Heavy Load 'N (By Canadian Press) Windsor, July 10.--Pinned be- neath his overturned truck on the Provincial road a mile south of the Old Castle, Louis Alello, of Wind- sor, was burned to death early to- day, His cousin, Mile Mario, was rescued by passing motorists after he had heen seriously burned.
