"The various deputations have been informed," states Mr. Ellis, "that where the necessity was ur- vent work could be commenced im- mediately, and this has been done in a number of cases. Arrange- ments have been made to receive about 25 more deputations this week and to deal with their appli- cations for ald." Mr. Ellis also pointed out that the grants are not being made on the basis of population alone, but more on the basis of the proportion of the unemployed in the municipall- ty to the population.

These are payable one-third by the Dominion, one-third by the muni- cipality, Nor does the sum include moneys for railway crossing elim- {nation and grade separation pro- ms, or for relief work in con. nection with the projected Ontario link of the trans-Canada highway. CAR ANDTRUC GOLLIDE AT CITY'S MAIN GROSSING Auto Owned by George Wil- son, Damaged in Smash This Morning George E. Wilson, 119 Colborne Street Ty had his car badly damaged and escaped possible in- jury by a slight margin this morn- ing, when it was run into by 8 Cooney Transport {ruck at the intersection of King and Simcoe streets at 7.30 a.m. Mr. Wilson, who was driving south on Simcoe street, had stop- j ved for the traffic signal. and started to cross the intersection when the HMght turned green. As 'he was partly across the street the truck, driven by George Degen, 136 London street, Lindsay, crash: ed into the side of his car from . the, east, smashing in part of the front on the left side. It is alleged that' Degen tried to cross the in- tersection against the traffic sig. nals. Motoreycle Officer Parsons, wlio was crossing the street at the same time as Wilson, made an in- vestigation of the accident, Blind children are cared for and treated dt the Provincial Institu- tion at Brantford, and it was ex- plained that this noble work is car- ried on by the government of On- | tarlo.. The Institute, however, en- deavors to place its graduates iu gainful work, Prevention, however, is the In- stitute's mightiest work, Close theck-up 'in schools, begun in To- ronto, is spreading across the con- tirient. Special classes for the Week of sight are growing in number, And, above all, efforts are being made to dispel that ignorance in the care of children which is re: sponsible for so much misery. "Measles The speaker told of a woman who placed a little child out in the sun to bring the measles out, an old wives' idea based on utter stupidity. The child went blind; But carelessness also takes fits toll. Adults were 'advised to have blood tests every now and then with a view to checking over the "general health and preventing. amongst other , permanent injury to sight, Periodical visits to the dentist also helped to prevent 'blindness. i 'Stanley Everson, in. a glowing tribute to the speaker, expressed the thanks of the club to the Rev Mr, Pickering for his address. which was received with generous and sympathetic applause, i .

What Others Say COMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, . City. \ Dear Sir: I read with a great deal of interest in last night's issue of the "Times" where Oshawa was the first city in Ontario to contact with the Govern ment Relief Fund and that work would be started at once, Upon making inquiries from an authentic source I also learned that Oshawa is three days ahead of the general list of cities. Those people who were so quick to criticize the Mayor and Council for non-action should now be the first to come forward to apologize for their premature criticisms and congratulate the Oshawa city officials. in this achievement or forever hang their heads in shame. ) Yours sincerely, FAIR PLAY.

Decide to Lay Concrete on Simcoe Street South Instead Base Pavement Hot Argument Ensues Over Merit of Respective Paye- ments -- Mayor Believes Laying of Concrete Will Give More Work to Un. employed GOVERNMENT TO SHARE IN COST Program Mapped Out by Board of Works Is Adopt- ed With One Amendment --Sewers, Manufacture of Tile and Grading Opera- tions Also to be Under. taken The city council gave concrete proof of its desire to relieve the un- employment situation in this eity, when at its regular meeting last night it adopted an extensive pro- gram of publie works upon recom- mendation of the board of. works. The construction of pavements, the laying of storm sewers, the manu- facture of reinforced concrete tile' and the grading of hills on three streets are included im this special relief program and it is understood that the federal and provincial gov- ernmetits 'will share in the cost. The paving of Shincde street south, from Thomas street to the harbor, proved the storm eentre of last night's council meeting... The whole council was in favor of the pavement but there was a sharp aif- ference of opinion as to Whether' concrete or the blaek base type should be put down. Ald, George Hart, as chairman of the hoatd of works, sponsored the black bass while Mayor T. B. Mitchell, with other members of the council, championed the concrete. The ar" gument waxed hot, and although. council was in committee of the. whole on the repbrt of the bosrd - of works, some of the spectators even joined in and Ald, Wm. Bod- dy, acting as chairman, was forced to call "Order" on more than one occasion. The council finally de cided in favor of concrete and the report was amended to read that &. concrete pavement would be con- | Struoted under the direction of the city engineer. The contentious clause, in the re- port; read as follows: 'That a Black Base pavement, 18' wide be constructed as a local improvement on Simcoe St. South from Thomas St: to the Harbour, a distance of approximately 6,000 ft. at an estimated cost of $40,000.00 and that the work be done by the Standard Paving Co. under. their tender of April 23rd, 1930, of $2.20 per sq. yd. less 10¢ per sq. yd. for grading; the grading to be done en- tively by band labour supplied. through the City Relief Depart- ment and paid for on the basis of cost plus 5%. The understandin® . is that no steam shovels will be used on the work snd that only Oshawa relief labour will he em- ployed. The property owners': share of the cost of the work' is re- commended to be 40%, the balance to be paid by the City and the Pro- vincial and Dominion Governments under the Orders in Council relat- ing to relief works." The council had no sooner. gene into committee of the whole to consider the refjort that Mayor Mit- chell announced that he could not support the above clause.
