These buildings are central, however, and if a new hotel were built they could be easily converted into stores. A new hotel will event- ually be built here and he thought the present hotel owners would build a fine new hotel if they got govern- ment backing. This hotel could be built on a lot which allow for addi- tioms in the future as needed. In conclusion Mr. Watson stated that it was quite true that some ac- tion must be taken regarding the ,camping sites for touring motorists, pointing out that this gipsy mode of touring is on the increase. The crux of the situation, he also remarked, lies in good roads, and Ontario won't get her full share of this traffic with- out good roads. He asked just be- fore the committee left, that if the Oshawa men should have any further suggestions to make that they for- ward them to the committee, Those present at the luncheon in- cluded Mr. M. Lang, M.P.P,, for Government (Continued from page 1) their own camping equipment and wanted to know what consideration had been given to these in the matter of providing suitable camping grounds, As for the hotel situation here, Mr, Mason sald it was difficult to get an investment in a hotel here as the over- head is too high. He thinks that the present hotel men are doing their best by the public and suggested that im- provement might follow if the govern- ment loaned money for improvements under a plan similar to the Housing Commission. He thinks that the pub- lic would support a credit scheme of that kind, if the support were given to the present hotels, This money might be loaned to the hotel men by the province at a low rate of interest, To Mr. Watson Mr. Mason said that this system could be justified due to the fact that main source of income to the hotel keepers has been cut off by the province. Col. Price asked Mr, Mason if the municipality would back the government in giving these bonds and Mr. Mason stated that he would certainly recommend it. Both Mr. Ma- son and Col. Price thought that a credit system, where the promoters, government and municipality each took one third of the cost, would work out, Col, Price stating that the gov- ernment would want to see its work supported locally. Hon, Nelson Parlia- ment, who was on his way to Whitby for the hospital opening, remarked that the government would want the first move to come from the municipal: ity where the hotel situation was to be improved, Councillor R. Moffatt pointed out the competition that the hotels receive from restaurants, licensed cigarette dealers, refreshment shops, etc. stat- ing that the hotel man has no conces- sion in his favor, He thought that the licenses to such places might be justi- fiably raised and perhaps the hotels could also be given the monopoly in the sale of light beers and wines, Mr. S. Clark mentioned the possible ex- emption from taxation for a term of years, of additions. Councillor Preston stated that the Toronto hotels put up with the same competition as the Oshawa ones, and they make the business pay. He stated that if Oshawa citizens would support a hotel proposition that the business firms of this town would back them. He thought that Oshawa woud see a 100 room hotel here in short order if the government backed capital expenditure. Councillor Johnston stated that the Oshawa hotelmen do not want to spend a great deal of money in build- ing additions for fear that a modern The Coolest Spot in Town NEW MARTIN THEATRE Thursday, Friday, Satur day Also the Big Laugh Comedy "We'll Get You Yet" would compared to the new one, hotel may be put up and then they would lose their investment as they become second class hotels, He thought, however, that local owners | Cochrane; Edgar Watson, M.P.P, for North Victoria; Sam Clarke, M.P.P. for Northumberland; Col.
