THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1928 PAGE THREH Queen Street Sanitary Problem Sent Back to Board An Additional Paving Program is Authorized Costing About $49,000 1 Will Consist of Laying 4,565 Feet of Paved Street -- Sidewalks Authorized at Cost of $6,000--Finance . of Board of Works Renew Verbal Battle Over Expen: diture : A paving program to cost in the neighborhood of $49,000, including one intersection and consisting of 4,565 feet, which it was explained was mainly made up of short sec- tions, was the subject for consid- erable controversy at the meeting of the council last night. A fur- ther recommendation that $6,000 be spent for concrete sidewalk con- struction, was included in the re- port of the Board of Works. Coun- cil went into committee of the whole with Alderman George Mor- ris in the chair. . Upon the reading of the seventh clause, dealing purely with the pavement of 13 sections of streets, Alderman Swanson raised objection which caused the mmatter to lapse into a lengthy discussion, the main participants being Ald. Swanson, the Chairman of the Board of Works, Alderman Stacey, and Al- derman Carnell. On the ground 'that a terrific program constituting the expendi- ture of an enormous sum was ust being completed, and that the year was very far spent, Alderman Swanson, Chairman of the Finance Committee upheld by Ald. Morris, declared emphatically that this ex- penditure was unwarranted. True, he stated, the recommendations as made by the Board of Works were thoroughly thought out and prob- ably needed the attention of the council in reemdying the conditions which exist, but the idea of spend- ing $55,000 on an extensive paving program at this time of the year was entirely out of the question in his regard. Alderman Stacey and Alderman . Carnell went considerably into de- tail to point out the advisability of going through with his program, a considerable number of instances being cited to warrant this action. It was learned that a number of the roads listed in the report were sit- uated in districts practically impas- sable in the Spring and Fall of the year. For a short time the discus- sion took the form of a war on words between Alderman Swanson and Stacey, the former being as firmly opposed to the program as Stacey was for having the thing completed. The conflict was, howe ever, foreseen, Alderman Swanson based his at- tack upon this clause in the report of the Board of Works on the fact that a never-ending expenditure was taking place, and that this would surely arouse consideraole comment from those people who make it a point to closely scrutinize doings of the different committees of the council. He went the lengin of his power by making a motion that the clause be struck out of the report. 'This re-opened the feud. City Engineer Smith rose to the occasion and pointed out to Alder- man Swanson the need for an . amendment at least to his motion, that there were certain streets * which should be left mot a parti- cle longer before being paved. Al- derman Swanson then demanded why the list had not been budget- ed, but hung to his motion that the clause be struck out. Naturally Alderman Swanson raised objection to Clause eight, for the sidewalks program. Upon a vote being taken, however, both clauses were passed. Storm sewers are to be con- structed on the following streets: Conant Street fromr Simeoe to Douglas St.; Annis Street from Margaret to Douglas St.; Albert Street from First Ave. to Albany St.; Eldon Avenue from Court St. to E. Limit of Plan 130; Gladstone Avenue from Colborne St. to North end of street; Colborne Street from Gladstone Avenue to Par) Road; Richmond Street from Me- Millan Drive to Mary St. ! The above sewers on Conant and Annis Streets are neecssary to properly drain the surrounding areas} the sewers on Albert St. and Eldon Ave. being necessary on ac- count of paving. and the sewers on Gladstone Ave. and Colborne St. being neecssary to remove the ex- isting storm drain from several private lots now required for build- ing purposes. The sewer on Rich- mond St. is neecssary to intercept storm waters from the North. A sanitary sewer will be laid on Wil- liam St. from Church St. to 50° West of Prince St. This sewer is necessary on account of paving the street. Asphaltic Concrefe Pavements are to be laid on the following streets: --Rowe Street from Athol St. to Arthur St.; Athol Street frome Yonge St. to 204' East; Arthur Street from Yonge St. to 202'6" East; Yonge Street from Athol St. to Arthur St.; Queen Street from King St. to Athol St.; Lauder Road from Mary St. to E.

RESERVE JUDGMENT IN ASSAULT CASE Russell Arnold Charged By Frank Kobernick in Court ------ Judgment was reserved in po- lice court this morning in the case of assault which is being brought against Russell Arnold by Frank Kobernick, following the hearing of the evidence before Magistrate Hind. The alleged offence occurred on the afternoon of the day Kob- ernick was allowed to return to Oshawa on parole. He was in his car in front of his house on Ritson road south when Arnold approach- ed him and threatened him with a stick three feet long and about an inch and a half in diameter, in an effort to make Kobernick pay $600 which Arnold told the court Kobernick owed %!m. In default of the payment of the $600, Arnold invited Kobernick to come out of his car so that he could take the money out of his hide. Kobernick telephoned the 'police, however, before any damage was done and laid a charge of common assault against Arnold. D. A. J. Swanson appeared for Kobernick while Arnold constructed his own de- fer ce. Petrified wood, fragments of car- borundum and blocks of grey por- phyry were used in the foundations of a school building in north-west Wyoming. The cornerstone is a large sistency and somewhat resembling black marble. Oshawa not only place charging 3 cents for TORONTO DAILIES Reports are being circulated around the city that Oshawa is the only place charging 3 cents for Toronto Dailies. For the information of the Public we wish to contradict the statement and point out that nearly all newsdealers in cities and towns outside of Toronto are charging 3 cents and in some places 5 cents. A. M. GERMOND GEO. ROBERTSHAW L L. RATZ FAILS TO APPEAR - INGOURT TODAY T0 GIVE EVIDENCE Norman Stein Was Held in Connection With Explosion When Norman Stein, held on $2,000 bail as a material witness in connection with the explosion in his home on Olive avenue, which occurred on August 8, fail- ed to appear in police court this morning to give evidence in the case of John Polinski, charged with arson, Magistrate Hind or- dered an investigation to be be: made in order to ascertain the reason for Stein's non-appearance. Stain is liable through his non- appearance this morning to for- feit his $2,000 bail Because Stein was not present, the case was adjourned until August 24, John Polinski's bail being renew" ed until that ime. Dalton Crawford was finally committed to trial at the next court of competent jurisdiction following his hearing before His Worship this morning. The case has been going on for some time but after only a short session this morning, in which no evidence was heard, the case was moved on to be taken before the fall as- sizes at Whitby. Crawford is charged with a serious offence. Following his plea of guilt on August 9, George Wilson, an el- derly man of unknown address was brought before the Mgistrate this morning and remanded indef- initely for sentence on his charge of vagrancy. J. O. McDermott on charges of fraud and false pre- tences was remanded again this morning until August 24, at the request of his counsel, J. P. Man- gan IS SENTENCED TO THREE MONTHS Philip Duncan Was Charged With Fifth and Sixth Offences Three months with hard labor in the County ail were meted out to Phillip Duncan in police court this morning after he pleaded guilty to charges brought against him for bsg intoxicated on July 30 and August . His offence of July 30 was his fifth while that on August , which occurred while he was out on bail for his former charge, constituted his sixth breach of the Liquor Control Act. D. A. J. Swanson appearing for Duncan, entered a strong plea for leniency to be shown his client in- asmuch as Duncan in ° other re- spects was an honest, law-abiding citizen, whose word was as good as his bond and who was a hard working individual at all times. Mr, Swanson stated that Duncan'es case was more of a medical mat- ter than a criminal case and Crown Attorney McGibbon, in his address to the court, bore Mr. Swanson out in this regard, stat- ing that he thought an instituion should be provided for such cases wherein otherwise very fine men were followed by this weakness throughout life. "From what I can make out, this is a case of two women arguing over their backyard fence. There is no woman living who can argue over a backyard fence and keep their house and -children clean at the same time. If you wo- men had been doing what you should have been doing, you wouldn't have been in police court this morning." Thus stated Magis- trate Hind in police court this morning after he had found Mary Toth, wife of Steve Toth, guilty of assaulting Mary Dzeneky on July 31. His Worship administered a severe lecture to both the Toth and Dzeneky families this morning on backyard arguments and culminat- ed the case with placing Mary Toth under suspended sentence ana binding Mr.. Dzeneky, Mrs. Toth and Mrs. Toth over on $200 for- feiture to keep the peace for one year. No evidence Mrs. Dzeneky through her counsel, was taken since pleaded guilty Col. J. F. bloci. of petrified wood of hard con- Grierson, but Colonel Grieson ex- plained the facts of the case to His Worship, whereupon Mrs. Dzeneky was let off with a suspended sen- tence. "We can't have a flourishing city if the neighbors in it are go- ing to be at loggerheads all the time. I want you people to go home the best of friends and re- main that way, and remember what I've told you dbout talking over your backyard fence," His Worship stated as the quartet left the court. The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it in turn will look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly, kind companion. --William Makepeace Thackeray.

REFUSE OFFER OF CITY FOR LAND Spring and Axle Company Say Sale Would Interfere With Plans The Gananoque Spring and Axle Company of this city has refused the offer of the city coun- cil to buy a portion of the com- pany's land with a view to open ing Colborne street east. In their communication to the coun- cil, the company stated that the sale of such lands would seriously interfere with plans that the com. pany had in view for future ex- tensions, towards the southerny end of their property. The matter was then referred to the Board of Works which will look into it and report again to the council. HINSHEN'S CLUB 10 AID ROTARY Are Staging Golf Tourney for Kinsmen Members Only Ways and means of assisting the Rotary Club in its annual street fair, to be 'held this coming Wed- nesday, were discussed by mem- bers of the Kinsmen's Club, at its regular meeting held in Welsh's Parlors, last evening. The Kins- men have always taken active part in the fair and their assist ance is welcome. At the present time the ¢lub is intersted in a golf tournament open for members only. Each en- trant is expected to play thirty- six holes, the prize being a valu: able cigarette case represnting in miniature a sandbox at the tee. Last night's meeting was well atended, the president, Dr. L. E. Hubbel, occupying the chair. PAST MISTRESS CLUB 'HOLDS GATHERING The monthly meeting of the Past Mistress Club of L.O.B.A. was held at the home of Mrs. E. Badgley, 244 Cromwell avenue, Wednesday, August 15, with. good attendance. ThTe guests of honor were Mrs, C. Snudden, Mrs, Clark, Mrs. M. Burke, Mrs. J. Flavell, Mrs. W. Badgley. The next meeting of the club will be held as a lawn social at the home of Mrs. H. Hurst, King street west on September 6. SHOW NEED FOR LARGE AIR FORCE London, Aug. 17.--While the Beaverbrook press is insisting that the British naval conmpromise with France includes secret clauses which ought forthwith to be pub- lished. London's experience in theory, many of the horrors of aer- fal warfare, which it is declared shows effectively that in future wars great cities cannot be defend- ed against. poison 'gas, hence the necessity for vastly increasing the British air force, which now costs $95,000,000 annually. To the opponents of armaments this would mean a new aerial race in armaments at a time when every Stock 2 p.m. 101% 191% 176 107 361% 207% 76 921, 37% 40% 44% 79% 42% 181% 129% 265 455 1% 62 32% 148% 47 214 184 18 1 33 SAYS TECHNICAL SCHOOL NEEDED (Continued from Page 1) just this summer completing a magnificent additton to its fine co1- legiate "and this addition is to be used for technical and commercial classes. The cities mentioned are none of them much, if any, larger than, Oshawa, and some are not as large as Oshawa. Not one of them, it may safely be said, is as prosperous or is growing as fast as Oshawa. They all have commer- cial classes such as there are here; but, besides, they have technical classes. And the list of cities which have all these facilities might easily be lengthened. More- over, all the cities referred to have much ~ finer collegiate . institute buildings than has Oshawa. What Oshawa needs is an up-to- date building equipped to take care of all three branches of sec- ondary education--academic, tech- nical and commercial. Then our young people will have the same opportunities as have those in cities of similar size. Principal O'Neill suggests how'a commence- ment may be made towards this ob- jective. An addition should at once be built at the back of the present school. This addition should be so comstructed that it will be suitable for technical and commercial work later on. Then the old building can be replaced by a modern collegiate institute or which Oshawa can be proud; and while this is being done, the new portion could be used and possibly the Toronto device known as "por- tables" might temporarily be util- ized. I have every confidence, Mr. Editor, and I_am sure my fellow citizens have also, that the Oshawa Board of Education will, without delay, assume the task, that lies before it and carry this task to a satisfactory completion. We eciti- zens cannot evade our responsi- bilities. Education costs a great deal but it is worth what it costs. And it dis doubtful whether we pay in school taxes as much as we spend on luxuries--on the things we want and will have but do not actuaully need. Yours very truly, A Citizen. Oshawa, Aug. 17th, 1928. INTEREST ROTARY FAIR GROWING (Continued from Page 1) the equipment, maxing the whole regalia a most complete affair. A full meeting of all the chair- men of the booths committee was held recently at which every de- tail of the coming Rotary cele- bration was outlined. No efforts are being spared to make this af- fair one of the most interesting nounced that their plans were well events to take place in Oshawa. The decoration committee an- under way, and that it would be no fault of theirs if the Four Cor- ners and the district which will be included in the Fair did no: present a striking "appearance on the gala evening. Locations of booths, their stocks, the masters of ceremony for each one have all been arranged and en- thusiasm among the Rotarians is reigning high just at this time, when operations for the day are drawing near and excitement is rislag to fever heat. As usual, there is one grand rush at four o'clock draws near on the day of the Fair. Promptly at the hour, every Rotarian leaves his daly work and rushes to the scene of activity, and there they make themselves as busy as mice, erect- ing booths, laying streamers, tack- ing up bunting. It's no use to in- terfere wth them on that day, for they have just so much time to do 20 much work, and they see that it's done. Then there is the fair itself, fol- lowing after all these preparations for the benefit of the town's child- ren itself. Waving banners, strik- ing g~ngs, rapid fire speakers bel- ling out their booths and what they have to sell. No wonder the whole town is at the Four Corners and vicinity that night. You will certainly laugh until the tears come to your eyes as you watch the booth-keepers in the persons of the mayor, and all the other prominent citizens stand- ing behind board railings coaxing you to spend a little so that the children of the city might enjoy themselves at Rotary Park. And what is more, you'll spend it too. These men have a way of convincing you that will make you sit up and take a glance at their work, Anyway, they're expecting you to be a booster and turn out in full force the night of their Fair. BRITAIN ASKS MMISSION TO INVESTIGATE OPIUM Geneva, Aug. 16.--The appoint- ment of a commission to investi- gate opium-smoking in the Far East was proposed to the League of Nations today by the British Government. The question has been added to the agenda of the next session of the Council of the League, which is to hear a Cang- dian report on the subjert. The next conference of powers having terri- tories in the Far East where opium 8 smoked takes place not later than 1929.

Purchase Assets, Capital Stock of Dundas Brewing Company DEAL CONSUMMATED Company Still Prepared to Build Here if City Sticks to Agreement The situation in regard to the Bud- weiser Brewing Company of Canada is evidently cleared up by the an- nouncement in the Hamilton papers of yesterday of the purchase by the above company of the entire assets and capital stock of the Dundas Brewing Company, of Dundas, On- tario. The plant will be located in the large building known as the old Cotton Mills, and The Times making enquiry has been informed by Wil- liam L. Doyle, General manager of the Budweiser Brewing Company that this sales agreement has been enter- ed into and ratified by the Budwei- ser Brewing Company, of Canada, Limited. It is the intention of this company to move their brewery equipment in whole from the United States and install it under the super- vision of their engincers at once. It is expected 'that this branch will be In operation in the course of three months time. Mr. Doyle also informed The Times that the Company which he repre- sents is still prepared to proceed with the agreement entered into with the city of Oshawa if conditions other- wise are satisfactory, Mr. Doyle was profuse in his ex- pression of the treatment received during the negotiations for the locat- ing of the plant here. Mr, Leon Fra- zer, Secretary of the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce, he said, had been tircless in his energetic efforts to complete the establishment of this industry in Oshawa, also those co- operating with him through the Chamber of Commerce and city coun- cil are entitled to every credit for their unselfish efforts to establish this industrwy in Oshawa. The article in extract appearing in the Hamilton Herald is as follows: For months rumors of a big brews- ery concern locating 'in Dundas have been rife, and hopes of seeing the old Cotton Mill utilized ta its capacity for manufacturing purposes have been raised, only to be dashed to the ground. The first rumcrs had their inception in an official newspaper no- tice«of {le incorporation of the Dun- das Brewing company, under a fcd- cral charter, and the purchase by them of the old cotton mill property. After long negotiaticns a deal has been consummated by which Cana- dian and American capitalists repre- senting the Budweiser Company of Canada, head offices in Toronto, capi- talized at hali a million dollars, and with Walter F. Mullen, president of the Delaware Avenue Realty Corpor- ation, of Buffalo, as provisional pre- sident has acquired-the charter and rights of the Dundas Brewing Co. and has obtained from the company its interest and equity in the cotton mill property formerly owned by Dr, Cald- well and his associates. Announcement was made this morning that the Budweiser Company with its head office in Dundas, will take immediate steps to develop the place they have made for the new Canadian Industrial enterprise which will include ~ the remodelling and equipment of the large property pre- paratory to commencing the manu- facture of beers and ales. They hope to be able to commence active opera- tions this fall and will employ about fifty men at the start which will create something of a realty boom in Dundas as the new staff will be chief- ly .men with a family, Apart from the local benefit from increased population and the building of new homes and - consequent in- crease in assessment, the new enter prise should bring financial benefit to the surrounding district in the pur- chase of grain and other supplies, The property secured by the new con- cern comprises some 4 acres of land and 4 story buildings with an aggre- gate of 70,000 square feet of floor space with exceptional facilities in the matter of water and electrical energy. ADVOCATES CITY SWIMMING POOL Citizen Believes He is Voic- ing Sentiments of Many People Here Editor Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir: I would like to make a request through the eolumns of your pop- ular paper, in regard to the build- ing of a swimming pool. Owing to the impossibility of swimming in the lake we feel an acute peed for a real good swimming pool. We don't' want one that we can just paddle in, we want a real deep pool with a good diving® board. n making this request I feel I am voicing the sentiments of a number of people in this city. Hoping you will find space to edit my request. of Ten rr , Authorize Health Authori- ties to "Take Such Steps as Necessary" -- Council Debates Ancient Matter at Some Length --Board's Only Course Will Likely Be to Declare Uninhabit- able and Close Them Up For the second time in reecnt months the city council last night refused to consider the installation of sanitary conveniences in the six houses on Queen and Bagot streets which were recently condenrned by the Board of Health, and for the second time council referred the matter back to the Board of Health to take such steps as neces- sary. What action the Board of Health will take to clear up the situation which was debated by both pubulic bodies last year for several months of this year, remains to be seen, but since health officials have con- demned the houses, it seems that the only course which they can take will be to order the tenants to vacate and definitely declare the buildings uninhabitable. Col. J. F. Grierson, city solicitor, attended last night's council ses- sion to enlighten the city fathers as to the legal entanglements which prevented the raising of money on the Hewston Estate to have the conveniences installed. Col. Grierson in presenting the situation branded the rumors as false that he had in any way ob- structed the Board of Health in taking any action that body wish- ed to execute. He explained that the Board of Health had taken the matter up with Mrs. Hewston, but financial conditions made it impos- gible for her to meet the cost. The tenants were anxious to remain in the houses and there was water in each house. When the board took drastic action, he had personally gone to see plumbers to obtain an estiamte of the cost. He found that it would mean an expenditure of approximately $1,000. 6 Per Cent Interest "Personally I don't care what the council does; I shall be glad to get rid of the case," he declar- ed. "If the city advances the mon- ey it would receive 6 per cent on the expenditure. Mayor Preston thought that a bad precedent would be establish- ed if this were done. Many others in the city would be in the cate- gory. Alderman Dan Douglas said he knew many caess of working men who would like to be helped in this way. He thought that all working men should be given the same treatment. Alderman Stacey wondered if the council knew how many houses and streets in the city had no sanitary sewers or conveniences. Alderman Jackson was of the opinion the houses were In good shape. He thought the tenants should be allowed to remain, If the council intended to take advan- tage of these people they should do the same with people all over the city. Alderman Swanson thought it was a sound duty for the council to perform. The Health Board had been struggling with the problem for a long time. The council's one object was to decide whether cer- tain conditions should be cured or allowed to continue. He was ready, he said, to make a positive resolu- tion and take a positive stand in the matter. 'There was a time when I favored putting in the sani- tary conveniences but I have chang- ed my opinion because I saw the houses. They are in a dilapidated condition and falling to pieces. I would like you gentlemen to see these houses. They are not fit for human habitation." . Ald. Swanson then moved that the Board of Health be notified that the council was not prepared to make any arrangements for the installation of sanitary convenienc- es and that he houses be condemn- ed as unfit for habitation and clos- ed up. Several aldermen spoke on the question. Ald.: Boddy stated that not only residents of Centre street were complaining of the nuisance but also people on the west side of Queen street. He was not In favor of the city spending one cent. Would Get Returns Mayor Preston pointed out that the city was spending $18,000 a vear in health work which brought in no revenue while if $1,000 were expended on sanitary conveniences in these houses, returns would be received. Ald. Swanson said he would vote for such a move if the houses could be made habitable, but these could not. It was a crime against the public in general to spend public money for such a purpose. Ald. 8S. H. Jackson argued In favor of the conveniences. The city, he said, had to have a certain number of cheap houses. Not every one could afford to pay a rental of $40 a month. He thought the money would be well spent. After further debate, Ald. Swanson's mo- tion, which was seconded my Alder- man Morris, was amended to refer AN OSHAWA RESIDENT.

[8 BREACH OF TRAFFIC ACT DRAWS FINE OF $20 AND COSTS Having shown his good faith by making restitution and paying all incidental expenses, Ross Har« bord when he appeared in police court this morning before Magise trate Hind was fined $20 an. costs although a = much heaviae punishment might have been ime posed for the breach of the High- ways Traffic Act to which he was found guilty * "I'll deal leniently with you but I don't wan this to be taken as a precedent You're a young man with wife and a child and you can settle down now and be a laws abiding citizen for the rest of your life, but remember if you ever drive a car again, make sure that your lights and especially your brakes are 'in perfect order," His Worship told Harbord. -- WOMAN IS FINED FOR INTOXICATION Pays $20 and Costs With the Alternative of Taking Thirty Days The unusual occurred in police court this morning when a wom- an was arraigned before Magis trate Hind on a charge of being intoxicated, for which she was found guilty and fined $20 and costs with an alternative of spend- ing the next thirty days in the County Jail in lieu of immediats payment. Mrs. Fred Rogers, Ver- dun road, was arrested following a telephone call put into the po!- ice station by her husband, who at that time was finding his wife too much to handle while she was un- der the influence of the intoxicant, Mrs. Rogers, who could not speak English, pleaded gullty to her offence, telling the court that she had only two glasses of home brew and that her husband had phoned the staion because she was mad at him and not drunk. Her condition when she was brought to the police station, how- ever, didn't indicate that she w only afflicted with a case of madness. She barely escaped further a%'. ficulties in court this Wurhing * through her talkativeness, She interrupted the court on several occasions to break into the hear- ing of other evidence and after she had been warned twice by His Worship, he gave her a final Warns ing that her next unealled for outburst would mean she would be fined for contempt of court-- the first time the Magistrate has: had to resort to this measure for some time. gi { in Memoriam * WARAM--In loving memory of Raymond, who departed this life, August 17, 1927, Ever remembered by } Mother, Father and Brother.
