THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 1928 AGE THREE Little Theatre Will Present Plays of the Standard Authors Council Takes the View Rossland Bridge is Not Within Contract Terms Roads' and Bridges' Com: mittee of County Council and City Aldermen Find Deck of Structure Four Inch-s Below the Drain. age Level--Recommenda. tion of Board of Works Referred Back to 'That Body The Oslawa city council has re- fused to accept the Rossland road city-county bridge, and has referr- ed back to the Board of Works a recommendation of the Board that the bridge be accepted as being within the terms of the contract. A number of Aldermen of the eity and the roads' and bridges' mmittee of the county council met at the bridge Saturday when it was found that there were certain un- pleasant features about the appear- ance of the work, and that the deck is three or four inches below the drainage level, thus leaving a pocket in which water could col- lect and in time do great harm to the concrete. Mayor Preston de- clared. Tt would cost about $600 to put an asphalt surface on the deck to bring it up to a proper lev- el, he stated. Alderman Swanson said that, while he was of the opinion thay the work on the bridge was nos what it should have been, the eity engineer said that it was substan tially according to the terms of the contract, and that when the city engineer makes this statement the council will have to accept the bridge and pay its share, or the contractor can sue the munieipal- ity and collect the money. He mov- ed that the city enzineer address pe council on the question, Mayor Preston objected, saying that if it was a legal question the city solicitor should advise the council. Alderman Alloway also said that it would not be wise to have the city engineer give ' opinion on the bridge and have # placed on record at the present time. The matter was then referred back to the Board of Works for further consideration and it may be further considered at the special meeting of the council Friday evening. Now 44 Years Since Women Admitted to University College Toronto, Ont.,, Nov. 7.--The re- cords of University Colleze show that it is now 44 years since wo- men have been admitted. Prof. Malcolm Wallace addressing the University Women's Club, pointed out there were grave fears and doubts as to the advisability of ad- mitting women to university. In the intervening years, however, women had established their status as stu- dents and more than justified their admission into university life. Per- sonally, he thought, perhaps the intellectual instinct was stronger in women even than in men, and that women would often make greater sacrifices to obtain higher educa- tion, STREET FOR BABIES Islington, Ont, Nov. 7.--In one long, but thinly-populated strect in this village there are seven hauscs and seven babies were born there since January 26 last.
