Fred Landon, moved au amendment to the motion that the Council go into committee of the whole to discuss the report. ~The amendment was deiealed and the adoption motion carried. In'speaking of the motion Coun. Drmiston stated that while he dia not wish to cause any discord in the 'inaugural proceedings of Couun- gil, or unduly criticize the work of the striking committee, he felt that in being appointed Applica- tions Committee chairman, a pos tion which in past years had been given to the man polling the least number of votes at the elections, he had been unfairly dealt with. #e pointed out that this was his third year in Council, that he had received a good vote at the polls pn Monday, and felt that he should rightfully have made the chair manship of the Fire and Light Committee which had gone to'am man only starting on his second year in Council and receiving less votes than him this year. Coun. Ormiston stated that having made his observations, he would leave the matter in the hands of the Council. There was no further discussion of the matter, and the report of ie striking committee was adopt- e PRESBYTERIANS HAD GOOD YEAR Fine Reports. 1 at Annual Meeting Held at St. Andrew's * * Progress in all departments was reported at the annual meeting of the congregation of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church held on Mon- day evening.

FIRST SESSION OF NEW COUNCIL HELD MONDAY Mayor Gave Inaugural Ad- dress--Committees Named --Seek Better Telephona Service acted as The council for 1930 for the Town of Whitby at its inaugural meeting held on Monday morning heard an interesting address from His Worship, Mayor C, E. Bowman dealing with' a number of import- ant civic matters; struck standing committees for the year; passed a bylaw appointing auditors and de- cided to hold a special meeting forthwith to deal with the existing dispute between certain farm land owners and the Town of Whitby, with a view of reaching a settle- ment. There was a full attendance of members, 2il of which were de- clared by the clerk to be elgcted. including Mayor Bowman, Reeve Jackson, deputy-reeve R. M. Dev- erell, and Councillors W. M. Prin- gle, Fred T. Rowe, W. J. David- son, James H. Ormiston, Robert Reid and Fred Landon. The clerk announced that all had signed the statutory qualifications for office. Conducted Devotions On the invitation of Mayor Bow- mdn, Rev. John Lindsay, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, conducted brief but impressive de- votiomal exercises, reading an ap- propriate passage of Scripture and invoking the divine blessing on council's deliberations for the year. \ The council unanimously passed a resolution thanking the Rev. Mr. Lindsay for the valuable service he had rendered. Mayor's Address In his address Mayor | on their election, and extended his | thanks to the ratepayers for plac- {ing him in a position which gave him the privilege of presiding over this year's council deliberations. On behalf of the loyal citizens of Whitby, His Worship expressed pleasure that His Majesty the King had recovered from his recent long Ling and expressed the } pe thal he would long be spared to rule | over the great British Empire, In a discussion ot civic affairs, the Mayor advocated a reduction of {the tax rate this year if possible together with a policy of rigid eco- nomy in all civie expenditures, and a close serutify of all accounts, | and all sources of revenfe. | Co-operation with the Chamber {of Commeree in the matter of se- curing industries was advocated by the Mayor, who stated 'that in his opinion Whitby was (stined to grow much larger than it is today. Better Transportation De2ling with the matter of transportation, the maypr suggest- ed the establishment of a central bus station to be used for all busses operating . in and out of Whitby. He opined that the T.T.C. should not be allowed to take on and discharge passengers on the town's main highway. The bua station, he contended, should not be on the provincial highway. More work on the streets in out- lying sections; fmprovements to the kitchen facilities in the coun- cil chamber; a strict enforcement of all town bylaws, liberality in the granting of relief to needy citi- zens with the furnishing of em- ployment to idle men wherever possible; and the giving of prefer ence to older residents with homes Sy FAVORS DIVORCE COURT Rev. Canon Vernon, who endorses the establishment of divorce courts in Ontario by the bringing of a test case before the courts of the pro- vince, Bowman | first congratulated his colléagues | | the and families in town when any divic work is to be undertaken, were other matters referred to and ad- vocated by the mayor. His Wor- ship 'asked for the kindly co-opera- tion of the Council in the transac: tion of the town's business and an- nounced that the meetings would be conducted in accordance with well established regulations. Each member of the council spoke briefly, congratulating the mayor and their colleagues on their election, promising to render to the town their best possible ser- vice, and expressing the hope that harmony would prevail throughout the year, Without exception, all members of council congratulated the mayor on his fine inaugural address. I'he opinion was expressed that while economy as 'suggested by the mayor was necessary and very essential, there was very little hope of tax reduction this year. Auditors Named A bylaw was passed appointing W. M. Jermyn and C. A. Freeman, Whitby, auditors for 1930 to audit the books of the town treasurer, Board of Education, Library Board and Public Utility Commission for the year 192 The sal:l'y is $325, the same- as last year, which am- ount is divided between the two men. A motion was passed authorizing the treasurer, John R. Frost, Ma- yor Bowman and the reeve to sign all cheques and all other financial documents at the banks on behalf of the Town of Whitby, Better Telephone Service Th» inNalaltion of a more mod- ern telephone service for Whithy was advocated in a resolution pass- ed unanimously by the Council, and the mayor and clerk were nam- ed to take the matter up with the proper officials of the company. The council figured that the time was most opportune to press for this improved, vervice in view of the fact that the Bell Company is now moving into a new exchange office in Whitby. The present sys- tem of 'getting' central was con- sidered tomlly inadequate for a town like Whitby where the com- pany enjoyed many privileges ana a good business was done. CONFERENCE HAS HOPE OF SUCCESS (Continued from Page 1) which: are to be threshed out in the formal conference. Details Secret Details of the Anglo-Japanese con- versations have been guarded with the utmost secrecy, but it was und- erstood a principal subject has been submarines--which Great Britain and United States are willing to ab- andon altogether, but which Japan and France insist are nccessary for coast defenses. It is foreseen here, week opening of the conference, that th matter of submarines will form onc of the most imporfant topics of dis cussions, Estimates on the length oi the confeernce vary, ranging all the way from two to four months. Little Fear of Failure little, if any speculation breaking up of the one from There over possible conference since it 1j participating hation would take the responsibility before the world of thwarting one of the great est peace moves 1 history. The National Positions Stated as simply as maybe the na- tional positions prior to opening of the conference are about as trollows: Great Britain and the United States agreeable to naval parity, with abu- lition of submarines and extension of holiday on capital ships; Italy insis- tent on naval parity with France; France insistent upon naval super- jority over Italy and retention of sub- marines; Japan seeking parity with no other nation but a proportion of 70 per cent. of the strength of the world's strongest navy for its own fleets, On the face nonc of the clashing viewpoints appear so formidable as to be insurmountable. It generally is agreed that unlike other conferences otf this nature the forthcoming meet- ing will be held under more friendly and optimistic auspices than has cv- er been the case before. 15 care MORE TEAM PLAY "Is your wife having any success in learning to drive the car?"
