The offer of Mr. Hinds, who is at present residing in California, was nccompanied by one of $1,900 for the land, approximately 1 1-4 acres, ne- cessary to extend John street west rom Centre street to Nassau street, he council has for some time been endeavoring to acquire this land and had a few months ago taken expro- priation proceedings. Since the price guoted by Mr, Hinds was consider- ed excessive for this land, which is of a low-lying nature, the council decided to ignore the offer and allow the matter to proceed to the arbitra- tion court, which will be held to- morrow morning at 10.30 in the city council chambers, to fix a fair price for the land. Life-Saver Appointed H. Barnhart was appointed life- saver at Oshawa-on- Meta; with an honorarium for the season of $100. Mrs. W. K. Culling was retain- ed as first-aid nurse at the lake, with an honorarium for the season of $50. This settled the question debated at some length at the last council meet- ing, when a recommendation' to have Mr. Barnhart appointed to look after both life saving and first aid work was referred back to "the finance committee, The city property committee and the Parks Commission were instruct- ed to make the necessary arrange- ments to accomodate the bands at Memorial, Alexandra and Lakeview Parks, in accordance with the sche- Sdlerdrawn up for band concerts dur- the season. Considerable dissat- is action had been expressed by some of the bands giving weekly band con- certs because, when they arrived at the band stands, no seats were placed for them and other preparations had not been made, as apparently fio one had the responsibility of seeing that this was done, Drainage Conference Pursuant to their request that a 'conference be held to consider the improvement of the drainage on Park road, the boundary between the city and East 'Whitby Township, the East Whitby Township councillors were invited to mcet the Board of Works of the city council at the Board's next meeting. eed Received G.

Fredericks pleaded guilty to his charge but the evid- ence was too much against him. DRIVING WHILE DRUNK William Fairhead appeared on a charge of driving a car while in an intoxicated condition. He plead- ed guilty and. was sentenced to fourteen days in the common gaol with hard labour. Magistrate Hinds intimated that he will show no leniency to any person appear- ing on a similar charge, owing to its serious nature, CHARGED WITH ASSAULT Mary and Annie Romanchuk ap- peared on a charge of assault caus- ing bodily harm.

SMITH Deputy-Resve of East Whitby, has been appointed clerk of the new Division Court. which has been ciated for Oshawa and East Whitby. COMMITTEE NAMED T0 INTERVIEW THE HYDRO COMMISSION To Seek Information As To Terms of Operating System MOTION DEFEATED Alderman Proposed That Councill Committee Should Take Charge An attempt of Alderman P. A. Macdonald to have the council's pre- vious decision to ask the Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission to operate the local gas and electric plants for the balance of the year until a Pub- lic Utilities Commission is named, quashed, and a committee of the council named to administer the util- ities, was frustrated by the council last night, The council, however, appointed a committee including Aldermen Mac- donald, Hart, Preston and Morris and Mayoy Mitchell to interview the Hydro Electric Power Commission to arrange the final details in connection with the taking over of these plants by the city and to obtain all possible information about the operating of the plants including the amount of the fee, if any, which the Hydro El- ectric Power Commission will charge to administer the local systems for the balance of the year, he Resolution Alerman P. A. Macdonald introdu ced the question by moving, seconded by: Alderman Preston, that the mo- tion passed on June 17, asking the Hydro Electric Power Commission to administer the local electric and gas systems for the balance of the ycar, be rescinded and that the mayor ap- point a special committee of four to administer it, Alderman Macdonald said that the H.E.P.C. 'would doubtless make a charge for administering the sys- tem, He added that some men in the city should take - charge of the sys- tem which the city now owns, and a rate reduction could probably be put into effect, It would cost as much to pay four inexperienced men to operate it as to pay the nominal fee the H.E.P.C, would charge. It would be wise to leave the matter the way it was, said Alderman Hart. Alderman Perry said that no ac- tion should be taken until the HE, P.C. informed- the council what fee they would charge to operate the system, Alderman Morris supported Alder- motion, An Election Hint Appointing four men now would simply give them a lead on any other men that would care to run for elec- tion to the public utilitics commission next aJnuary, said Alderman Mason Alderman Macdonald amended his motion that a committee be appoint- ed to interview the Hydro Commis- sion and obtain information on the operation of the system. Alderman Douglas contended that a committee should be appointed to obtain all the information possible un the question, The city should not spend any great amount of money in having the H.E.P.C. operate the systems, said the mayor. If this was to be the case, a committee of the council should be named to operate the sys- tem, he declared, Alderman Macdonald's amended motion carried and Aldermen P. A. Macdonald, Hart, Preston and Mor- fis were named the committee to interview the H.E.P.C. and arrange all final details in connection with the taking over of the local electric and gas plants, ASK FOR ACTION 10 REPAIR BRIDGE The Suburban Roads Commis- sion was reqested by the city council last night to take, action immediately in having a temporary bridge constructed to allow traffic to pass around Conlin's Bridge, on the Columbus road north of this city, and to have the work on this bridge speeded up. An open letter from G. W. Mec- aughlin to Mayor Mitchell, which wag published in The Times last week, was presented to the council and precipitated this action. At the present time, there is a long detour necessary in order to pass around the bridge 'newly made friends C. M. Mundy, president of the Mundy Printing Company, Who, with Mrs. Mundy, is with a party of Canadian newspaper men now touring Great Britain and Europe, was highly honored on July 6, when he was chosen as one of the twelve members of the party to meet the Prince of Wales. In a note sent to friends in the city, Mr. Mundy tells of his visit to York House, the residence of the prince, and of other incidents of the trip through Britain, as follows: "I was one of a party who were received by the Prince of Wales aut his home, York House, this morn- ing. We shdok hands with him, and had a very fine, informal, half- hour chat with him. He is a very ordinary, but charming and very friendly young man. 'Before parliament opened this morning we were shown all through the parliament buildings by two members, Hon. Samuel Chapman and James Hughes. This was a special honor to we Canadi- ans, Yesterday we were at Wind- sor and all through the castle, at Stoke Poges and in the churchyard where Gray wrote his "Elegy in a Country Churchyard. We were also at Eton College, where all the small boys wear silk hats. We were entertained at tea by Lady Nancy Astor, who personally walk- ed and chatted most delightfully with us all through her marve}lous grounds at Clevidon." .

The Streets In a letter written to friemds in Oshawa, Mrs. C. M., Mundy, who is accompanying her husband on a tour of Great Britain and Europe with a party of Canadian news- papermen and their wives, gives some highly interesting details of part of the trip, the biggest thriil noted being a sight of the King and Queen returning to Bucking- ham Palace. The letter was writ- ten from the Hotel Cecil, London, on Dominion Day, which was a day of special celebration for the mem- bers of the party, and, in part, is as follows: "We arrived in London this morning about ten o'clock, and so much hag transpired already that I feel as if we had been here for a week. You no doubt have read or heard something of the letter I wrote from Berlin, Our enter- tainment there was very fine, We found flowers in our rooms when we arrived, and when we left our were there with arms full of roses to see us off, Saw Historic Places "In Brussels we were also well received and given an interesting time. I took morning off there, missing a sight-seeing trip to the spot where Edith Cavell was shot, and the Congo exhibit. We enjoy- ed our trip down the Rhine so much, past spots famous in his- tory and legend. For instance, we passed the Mouse Tower, Binghen, Bonn, the birthplace of Beethoven, the Corelli Rock, etc. We arrived in the beautiful city of Cologne about seven, and through some error 2 functions have been staged for us, so in spite of the fact that we were desperately tired, we had to go to two places and eat two dinners. The latter was given at a fine restaurant on the opposite side of the Rhine, from which we had the most wonderful view of the Cathedral, illuminated by flood light from a tower, just for our benefit. I shall never forget the sight as the light played on those exquisite old windows and towers. It is so large that it over-tops everything in the city. At The Hague "Our next visit was to the Hague, Holland. I cannot tell you of the changing panorama of coun- try through which we passed, as time will not permit. We. were driven right out to Scgevinengen on the sea, to the Grand Hote], for the night, and passed dozens of Mrs C.M. Mundy Thrilled by Sight of King and Queen on of Old London Dutch people in their quaint, na- tive costumes. We were guests at a dance hall where we saw the smartest people in all our travels, probably mostly Americans or English tourists. I had the honor to sit with the mayor and his wife at tea at the Chateau at the Hague yesterday. They are very important personages, appointed by the crown. At luncheon on Sunday, my partner 'was a young Dutchman who spoke faultless English, and who 'was, by the way, minister of foreign affairs. We had an inter- esting time and a wonderful meal. We then went for a drive and saw through the Peace Palace, one of the finest buildings of modern times. The woodwork and the mar- ble staircase were unusually fine features, We then went to tlie Art Gallery, where we saw a fine col- lection of Dutch paintings. After tea at an old Chateau, we went back to the hotel for dinner, and left from the Hook of Holland at midnight. Our passage across the channel was not so bad as expect- ed, and I was not a bit sick. We arrived at Harwich at 6.00 a.m. and at London at 10.30." The Greatest Thrill "Then came 'one of our most thrilling experiences. We saw the King and Queen. The king was ve- turning to Buckingham Palace. A party of us set out hot-foot from Hotel Cecil, where we are staying, down to Pall Mall and on to St. James' Square, where we stood and saw them pass. It sounds easy and casual, but it was really an experi- ence, I tried to cheer, but somehow or other ¢ouldn't find my voice. They both looked just as I had pie- tured them. "We walked back, and oh, weren't we tired and hungry? We had lunch, then unpacked and dressed for a reception at the residence of the Hon. P, C. Lar- kin, Canada's Commissioner in London, He and his wife are al- ways at home to Canadians on July 1, and we saw a number of people we knew; among others, Miss Mc- Leod, Mrs. Heszelwood"s friend, and Isabel Thomas, who was phy- sical instructor at the O.C.I. "This is a wonderful hotel, a whole city in itself. Tonight is the Caledonian Ball, ~ one of the big events of the year. The Prince of Wales is to be there, and other members of the Royal Family, -so we may see them. All is excitement and great preparation." CHARLES M. MUNDY President of the Mundy Printing Company, was one of a party of twelve Ca men to be received by the Prince of Wales at York House on July 5. COUNCIL PASSES STREET PAVEMENT PROGRAM FOR YEAR Bulk of Work To Be Done This Season Passed Upon by Council COST IS $105,000 Since $125,000 Is Limit for the Year It Is Unlikely More Will Be Authorized The street paving program for the year, including 1 3-4 miles of pave- ment at a cost of approximately $105,000, was passed by the city coun- cil last night, The council had pre- viously set a limit of$125,000 on ex- penditures for street pasing this year, so that it is unlikely that a great deal of additional paving will be au- thorized this year. The contract for this work has been let to the Stand- rd Paving Company 2 The in the Board of Works report recommending the construc- tion of street pavements was as fol- lows: "That pavements be constructed as Jocal improvements on the following streets: "Rosedale avenue from Mary strect to Jarvis street; Brock strect, from Church street to 300 feet west; Osh- awa boulevard, from Elgin street to Alice street; Bloor street from Al- bert street to Howard street; Mid- land avenue, from Buckingham av- enue to McLaughlin boulevard; Buckingham avenue, from Midland avenue to approximately 300 fect west; Connaught street, from Mary street to east limit of lot 50, plan 307; Alexandra street, from Simcoe street to approximately 900 feet west of Golf street; Eulalie avenue, from Ritson road to Verdun road; Mec- Gregor strect, from Simcoe street to Centre street. ; "The above pavements along with pavements previously recommended on Simcoe street, Whiting avenue and Ontario street constitute a total length of approximately 9,750 lin. feet or 1 3-4 miles of pavement which would represent a total cost of approximately $105,000." When the report was presented, council went in to committee of the whole on motion of Aldermen Har. man and S. Jackson, On the clause recommending the construction of pavements, Aldér- man Perry asked why the Board of Works had attempted to overrule the council by recommending the paving of Bloor street only from Albert street to Howard street, when the council at its last meeting had pass- ed pavement on Bloor street from Albert street to Ritson road. Afderman Preston, chairman of the Board of Works, explained that, if Bloor street were paved to Ritson road, it would push the expenditure over the $I 25000 mark set by the council for paving this year, The paving of Midland avenue was questioned by Alderman Disney, but it was explained that this link con- nected ends of pavements on four streets, Aldermen Perry and Harman mov- ed in amendment that Bloor street be paved from Albert street to Rite son road. The amendment was lost, only Aldermen Harman, Perry and Disney supporting it. Alderman Harman moved an am- endment that the paving of Annis street from Margaret street to Doug- las street be added to the report. This was ruled out of order as the council was sitting in committee of the whole. Alderman S. H. Jackson moved, seconded by Alderman Disney that the clause be referred back to the Board of Works for further consid- eration, It was lost, only Aldermen S. H. Jackson and Disney support- ing it. The committee's report was then adopted without amendment, Aldermen Harman and E. Jackson moved subsequently in the council meeting that Annis street be paved from Margaret street to Douglas street. This was referred to the Board of Works. Two girls Recaptured Toronto.--Held for escaping from the 'Alexandra Industrial school a short time ago, Margaret Williams, Queen street west, and Betty Fitch, Nooistonk, each 7 years old, were ested in a King street west home yesterday and locked up in Court with escaping lawful custody. Both were short-term prisoners, GENERAL MOTORS | OFFICIALS GO ON (00D WILL TOUR WILL TOUR EASTERN CANADA IN LUXURIOUS BUS R. S. McLaughlin and J. H. Beaton To Be in the Party R. 8. McLaughlin, president of General Motors of Canada, Ltd., H. A. Brown, vice president and gen- eral manager, J. H. Beaton, gen- eral sales manager and H. H. Hen- chel, general sales manager of General Motors Products (Truck & Coach Division), Ltd., will start out on a good will tour of eastern Canada on or about July 20th, The trip will be unique for two reasons! First because it is primar- ily a good will tour in which the high ranking officials of General Motors of Canada, Ltd., will visit villages and cities to get first hand information on buginess conditions and buying habits, and secondly because the trip will be made in a luxurious bus, the Bonne, Entente II, General Motors official car which presages what may be a pop- ular mode of travel for business and pleasure tours. A similar trip was made last year in a similar bus but this year a larger bus has been manufac- tured which is considered the last word in de luxe transportation. There are sleeping compartments for six persons in addition to com- plete cooking equipment, refriger- ation, heating and radio. During the trip last year, a tremendous amount of public interest was shown in the bus during all of its stops. Because so many requests are being made by various communi- ties to have their towns included in the itinerary, the final schedule of visits has not as yet been made out. It is planned to include as many towns and cities as possible, particularly those who have made request for such a visit. "Such a trip enables us to get very close to the pepole of our various Canadian communities," explained Mr. Henchel, "and the trip serves as immensely useful purpose in guiding us in manufac- turing and sales policies." Ble MASKINONGE CAUGHT ON FRIDAY IN TRENT RIVER Splendid Specimen Weighed Twenty and One Half Pounds (By Staff Reporter) Trent Bridge, July 15.--John Harroff, of Cleveland, Ohio, caught another large fish in the Trent River here on Friday, this being a maskinonge weighing 201% pounds. The fish was brought to the Sedg- wick House in the presence of sev- eral of the tourists, who were all greatly interested in the big catch. This is the fourth big maskinonge to be caught, exceeding {wenty pounds in weight, in the last ten days. Residents here state that the fishing has never been better in the Trent River than it has been this year. Many tourists from var- ious parts of the United States are spending holidays camping at this point this season. DELEGATES T0 CONVENTION TO PRESENT REPORTS Important Meeting of Can- adian Legion to be Held Thursday The meeting of the Canadian Legion, to be held in the club room on Thursday night of this week, is a highly important one in the history of the local branch, since the Legion came into being will present a report on the convention held in St. Thomas last week, and attended by J. T. 'Dalby, branch president and M. McIntyre Hood, chairman of the executive. These two delegates will give their im- pressions of the convention, and it is hoped that a large attendance of the ex-service men of the city will be present for this occasion. Some other important business matters are due to come before the meeting, including some matters which are of vital importance to the future welfare of the branch, and which will be given full dis- cussion. This meeting will be one of the most important ever held by the Legion in Oshawa, and the of- ficers are particularly anxious to Council Allows Oshawa Railway to Stop Meeting C. N.R. Trains Charles M. Mundy Received By The Prince of Wales Railway Gives Assurance That it Will Institute Ten Minute Street Car Service Contend That New Service Cannot Be Maintained Due to Trains Shunting at C.N.R. Crossing, Council Decides to Give Proposal a Trial CONCESSION ONLY FOR ONE YEAR PERIOD Railway Automatically Re- turns to Meeting C.N.R. Trains at End of One Year Unless Council Re- news the Agreement Passed Last Night The city council at its meeting last night passed the bylaw allowing the Oshawa Railway to discontinue the meeting the Canadian National trains and to place additional passing tracks, under the provision that they are to maintain a ten-minute service from Ross' Corners to Cedardale and a twenty-minute service from Ross' Corners to the Lake. The bylaw provides that this con- cession to the Oshawa Railway shall be operative only for one year, and that, after the expiration of the year, the company shall once more com- mence meeting C.N.R. trains unless the privilege is further extended by the city council, Some opposition was raised by sev- etal aldermen, who felt that the let- ter of John Stacey in last night's is- sue of The Times contained several points that should be considered. This letter had stated that a ten- minute service could not be maintain= ed as long as the street cars were held up by trains shunting over the C.N.R. crossing at Simcoe street south, He maintained that the sub- way at this point should be the first consideration, and stated that, until the subway were constructed, it would be impossible for the street railway to maintain any kind of a regular schedule, Other aldermen maintained that the Oshawa Railway had asked permis- sion to discontinue meeting these trains so that they could give a bet- ter transportation service in the city, which was sorely needed. The "tomp- any was being given a year's trial, they said, and if they could not car- ry out their promises, the priveleges could be taken away from them at the end of a year. Although the council was almost evenly divided on the bylaw, it carried. Alderman Disney moved that the bylaw be referred back to the com- mittee, He believed that many points in the letter of John Stacey in last night's issue of The Times were well taken, and that it was impossible to give a ten-minute service until the subway were constructed. It was taking a step towards get- ting the subway, said Alderman Carnell. It was putting the whole question up to the Railway and if they could not continue a ten-minute service, at the end of a year the pri- vilege could be withdrawn, The question of bus service to the whole city should first be settled, de- clared Alderman Morris, The Railway would immediately start negotiations in connection with giving a bus service, if this bylaw were passed, said Alderman Boddy. The city would be standing in its own light by refusing to pass the bylaw, said Alderman Preston. The company had five new cars ready to put on the tracks, and the city should allow the comgnny to at least attempt a ten-minute service, Alderman Mason could 'not see how a ten-minute service could be instituted with the long delays oc- casioned by the shunting trains at Simcoe street south. A motion to refer the bylaw back to the committee was lost. The bylaw was then passed. English Capital In Manitoba Winnipeg.--The Free Press even- ing bulletin publishes the following news page story yesterday: English capital is entering the Manitoba tin field.
