THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1921 PAGE THREE Ratepayers to Vote on Proposed New Civic Buildings Council is Unanimous in Supporting Erection New Technical School 4 Bylaw to Be Submitted at Next Meeting Authofizing Issuance of Debentures for $261,500 -- Board of Ed ucation Commended for Steps Taken -- Grant of $111,000 Expected from the Federal Government Unanimous support of the Proposed erection of an Oshawa technical school was given by the city colincil last night, when the Board of Edu- gation's request for $261,500 to build the school was granted. A by-law will be submitted at the next meet- ing of the council authorizing the is- suance of debentures for this améunt, ! § Many aldermen spoke on the ques- tion, cach one of them commending the Board of Education for the steps it has taken and pointing out the necessity of a technical school in Dshawa. A grant of $111,000, ex- ected from the Federal Government if the proposition materializes before the end of the year, was also a strong factor in the council's decision for speedy action, A motion "that the application of the Board of Education for $261,500 net for the erection of a technical school be granted, and that a by-law be presented to the council for the raising of this amount by an issuance of debentures," was made by Alder- man D. A. J. Swanson and G. T, Morris, and carried unanimously, A delegation from the Board of Education comprising Chairman of the Board, T, B. Mitchell, Trustees A. W. Bell, chairman of the Advisory Vocational Committee and chairman of the technical school bullding com- mittee, and A, F, Annis, a member of the building committee, and Prin- cipal A. E. O'Neill, of the Oshawa Collegiate, was heard. Trustee Mit- hell pointed out that, a few years sgo, when $250,000 was spent on an pddition to the Collegiate Institute, it was considered that this addition would be ample for the needs of sec- ondary education in Oshawa for some time, but now the school was handicapped by a condition so cramp- ed that classrooms had been impro- vised in the basement. Another ad- dition to the Collegiate, at a cost of thout $100,000, was imperative, and by an expenditure of $150,000 as the city's share of thé cost of a technical school, a much better school and one that would last for many years, would be obtained, Wants Council's Vie While this was the first ¥ormal presentation of the matter to the city council, Mr. Mitchell said that no doubt the members of the coun- cil had followed the situgtion closely, as it had been well presented to the citizens by The Oshawa Daily Times. He asked for an expression of opinion by the council at that meeting, for, in order to get the government grant, the question must be settled before the end of this year. It was impera- tive, 100, so that an advertisement could be made for tenders, and that work could be commenced early in the year and finished by next Sep- tember 1. Trustee A, W. Bell 'supplemented Chairman Mitchell's remarks by say- ing that, as chairman of the advis- ory vocational committee of the Board of Education, he felt the great need of a technical school. The Col- legiate Institute was at present woe- ully inadequate, and extensions were essential immediately. If a technical school is erected, and plans approved by the Department of Education be- fore the end of the year, a liberal grant would be made to the city, and the Board of Education was 100 per cent in favor of taking this step, Gets Support Speaking to his motion to grant the application, Alderman Swanson said that, from the standpoint of the city, it would be a shame to lose the op- portunity to build a technical school now and take advantage of the large grant. Oshawa is an industrial centre, where vocational training is necessary. The Board of Education had taken a Step in the right direc- tion, he declared. Alderman A. R. Alloway commend- ed the Board of Education for its wise move. The city would be spend- ing only $50,000 more than an acad- emic addition would cost and would get a larger and better equipped building than simply an addition to the Collegiate. Then, too, while 1t was perhaps a minor matter, the new front provided by the technical school would greatly improve the appear- ance or the Collegiate building, as the drawing appearing in The Osh- awa Times showed. The plan to combine the technical school with the Collegiate was a sound and econ- omical one. Location The necessity of a technical school was stressed by Alderman S. G. Carnell, who congratulated the Board of Education on its move in the matter, Alderman 1). Douglas also approved the erection of the school which would provide a training which would give the boy a start in life. No doubt every working man would support the proposal. Alderman J. Stacey raised the question of location, stating that, in| OLD NAN WINTER HAS DEVELOPED A MEAN DISPOSITION Oshawa Expects Attack To- night By the Cohorts of the Ice King Winter has been kind to Oshawa this year--but there aré indica- tions today that the "Old Man" has suffered a change in disposition. Already, it is rumored, his co- horts are in order for immediate possession of the eity. While the Western Provinees, during the past few days, have been enduring zero weather Osh- awa, the Motor City of Canada, has been "sitting pretty" under a tem- perature well above freezing, Shanges His Mind But the Ice King apparently has decided that balmy autumn days have been lingering long enough. Christmas is less than three weeks awav and manv neonle have heen thinking that there wouldn't he much of a winter anvwav. So the Frost King has stirred in- to action, Today he is makine a snrvev of the sreen natehes in the eitv, not- ine the light avercoats and making vn his mind for a chanve, The preliminary attack of the wintry hattalians is evneeted to- nicht--Thev havajalreadv defeated tha simmer hreezes in tha West. arn Provinces and the latter are heating a hasty retreat esstward hefare tha advaneine hosts, Tn contrast with vesterdav's temneratnre of A§ tn 40 deeovees ahava zera, Nehawa today ig nram- icad enlder weathey and gnaw fine. lag and fair and enld weather an Thursday, and a Aecidadly. enld move for the following few days. his opinion, the school should he nearer the centre of the city, Most of the working men lived south of King street, and the Collegiate was a long way north from them. Chairman Mitchell stated that the Board had gone thoroughly into this phase of the situation, Land alonc for the building of a technical school near Centre street school; as Alder- man Stacey suggested, would cost between $40,000 and $75,000. Then, too, a heating equipment adequate to take care of the proposed technical school had been placed in the Col- legiate when the last addition was built; and, thirdly, the Collegiate was in close approximity to Alexandra Park, which was used extensively for school athletics and was in reality a part of the school campus. The mo- tion then carried unanimously. GROUP SCHEDULE JUNIOR GROUP OF | NUMBER 2, O. H.

After many sessions of debate and discussion, the agreement between the city and J. Arnold Thomson, who has been chosen architect of the pro- posed city hall and fire and police buildings, was adopted by the coun- cil last night, and a by-law passed authorizing the mayor and clerk to sign the agreement. The architect has already practically completed plans necessary before the question 1s: submitted to a vote of the elec- torate, and it is expected that the question of the building of one or both of these units will be submitted to the ratepayers at the municipal elections on January 7. Almost every lawver in the city has been consulted with regard to the wording of the agreement, owing to the numerous questions raised by members of the council on details of the various clauses.
