| THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1929 PAGE THREE Condemnation Order Measles Epidemic Hits Oshawa, 358 Cases are Quarantined in March Number of Cases Grows Rapidly in Last Two Weeks, 218 Having De- veloped in Last 11 Days of the Month--Other Con- tagion Light EASTER HOLIDAYS MAY, REMEDY SITUATION Senior Public Health Nurse, Miss B. E. Harris States That the Vacation Will Probably Prove the Turn- ing Point in Checking the Epidemic An epidemic of measles has broken out in the city, 358 cases having been reported to the city health department during March, the Board of Health was informed fast night. . In the report of Sanitary Inspec- tor D. A. Hubbell, who has charge of quarantining cases of contagion in the city, he pointed out that the epidemic had intensified during the jast two weeks. During the last 11 days of March, 218 quarantine cards were put up and 158 houses released from quarantine, showing a definite increase in the total num- ber of cases existant over the city. The epidemic started in Febru- ary, in the northern end of the eity, but in March became generui and spread to all sections. It was stated yesterday by Miss B. E. Har- ris, senior public health nurse, that the Easter holiday vacation at the schools would no doubt prove the turning point in checking the epi- demic, as the children would not Pe in nearly so great contact win one another, and the disease would probably subside. None of the cases have been of a serious nature, and the type of measles found seems to be Light. e Report The monthly report of Sanitary Inspector Hubbell was. Placarded for contagion, 388; released from quarantine, 315; fu- migations, 5; plumbing permits, 2; plumbing inspections under wa- ter test, 3; final inspections, 27; (Continued on page 9) MEMBERS OF TRAIN CREW COMMITTED (Continued from Page 1) eourt today. The men are the sur- viving members of the northbound train No. 3, which failed to take the siding at Drocourt according to its orders and which met train No. 4 head-on % of a mile past the meeting place. Application for renewal of bail was made at once to District Judge ¥., C. Powell. The men were re- d on the same ball arrangea before $10,000 for Engineer Alex- ander and $5,000 each for Fireman Riley and Brakeman Gorrie. Further Evidence Geo. Reynolds, rule instructor of the Oanadian National Railways, said it was the duty of the entire train crew to see that a stop was made in accordance with the or- ders. Pressed by the crown to say whether there was any difference 4n the responsibilities of the mem- bers of the crew, he said, "trains are run under the direction of the conductor." He pointed out that the rules required the order to stop to be delivered to the conductor ana the engineer but that all members of the crew had to know tse con- tents of the orders. The conductor of the southbound No. 4 train, William Coomb, said he had no intimation of the possi- bility of a collision until the trains hit. He said the collision was the direct result of No. 3 failing to carry out the order delivered to it to stop at Drocourt. A telegraph operator at South Parry told of delivering the order to meet at Drocourt to Conductor Barstead of train No. 3 and an operator at Capreol told of deliv- ering the order to Conductor Coomb ot No. 4. ---------------- Four small steels mounted in a notched handle make up a new implement for sharpening carving knives.

JAPANESE CONSUL DEFENDS AGTION Vancouver, April 5.--A denial that the Japanese tariff promulgat- ed Saturday, will seriously atfect Pacific northwest lumber export- ers was made here by Hon. T. Fu- kuma, Japanese consul for Western Canada. He contends that the prin- cipal result of the new scale would be to regulate importation and star bilize Japanese lumber prices. The ultimate aim of the provision is to aid the Japanese forest industry out of its present "miserable con- dition," he said. It is understood that British Co- lumbia lumbermen are not serious- ly concerned over the tariff as very little manufactured lumber is ex- ported to Japan from here because of the sizes required by Japanese consumers. United States inter- ests, however, are reported as deeply concerned over the tariff changes and have suggested a re- taliatory tariff against Japanese tea.

J. Collacutt, this city, pro- prietor of the Collacutt Coach Lines, and Robert Bromley, Toronto owner of the Del-Ray Coach lines, Limited, denied to The Times today that the Toronto Transportation Commission had taken options on these bus lines. Both stated emphatically that there was nothing definite as yet in the negotiations between the transporta- iton and the two lines. According to a Toronto paper this morning, Manager Harvey of the Toronto Transportation Commission confirmed a report that negotiations were being made with these two lines, and with the Maple Leaf line from Toronto to Uxbridge and Stouffville, the Highway Queen line to Brampton, Orangeville and. Shel- burne, and a short route on the Dundas highway between Runnymede and Cooksville. The total cost is understood to be $300,000 to $400,000, of which the largest part would be for the Collacutt line if negotiations were completed. The acquisition of these lines would give the T.T.C. a practicai monopoly on all the im- portant bus lines in Central Ontario, According to the Toronto newspaper Manager Harvey said that "The Commission is not contemplating opergtiog beyond Oshawa to Belle- ville. According to a Toronto report, the negotiations have so far been con- ducted without the sanction of the Toronto city council, and the Board of Control is having a conference with the Commission to discuss the matter. : CHICAGO GRAIN .

Health Department Will Notify Residents on Rear of City Lots in "Garage Dwellings" That Sanitary Conveniences Must Be Installed ! ALTERNATIVE WILL BE TO CONDEMN HOMES Between 200 and 300 of This Type of House in the City--1,000 to 1,200 People Said to be Affected Some of the Dwellings Have Been Up Six Years Residents in garage dwellings in this city will be notified that they' must make application immediately for the installation of sanitary cone veniences, on pain of having their dwellings condemned as unfit for human habitation, the Board of Health decided at its meeting last night. This order will go out at once from the office of the Sanitary In- spector, D .A. Hubbell, to the 200 to 300 owners of garage dwellings in the city. Between 1,000 and 1,200 people are residing in this type of house at the present time within the city limits and will be affected by this order, according to an estimate of the assessment department this morning. The garage dwellings to which the Board of health is taking exception, are frame shacks erected on the rear of lots in the city, as garages, but intended to be occupied temporarily as homes until the owner could get a house erected on the front of the lot. Building permits were issued for them in this way, that they were garages to be used as temporary dwellings until a house was erected on the lot, under the understanding that the house was to be started within a year.
