THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1930 PAGE THREE Indications Grant to Separate School is. . A'most Tripled Under New : Ontario Govt. Regulations Present Grant of $300 Per Year Will Be Raised to $930 or More, Rev. Father Bench States OSHAWA GRANT I8 INCREASED $7,000 Public Schools Benefit to Ex- tent of Well Over $6,000 While Separate School In- crease Is Over $600 The provincial grant to the Osh- awa Separate School Board under the new regulations which become operative at the New Year, will have the elect of almost tripling the grant. which is now received, The Times was informed this morning by Rev. Father Bench. The new regulations provide, firstly, for a grant of $1 per pupil, based on the average attendance ot the previous year. ' The board 'will as well receive a grant of a certain percentage of the salaries paid to its teachers. " Increase of Over $600 At the present time, the Separate School Board receives about $300 per year from the provincial govern- ment. There are now 432 pupils registered at the Separate school, and the per capita grant next year will thus approximately $430. The Board pays out in salaries to its teachers, between $8,000 and $9,000, this being approximately six per cent. of the total income of the Board. The , regulations provide that, when between five and sevens per cent. of the total income fs spent in salaries, the provincial grant is to be six per cent. of the amount so paid to the teachers. This would amount to over $500. The total grant that can be ex pected is therefore $3930 or more, or about three times the present grant paid to the Separate School Board here. Combining this total with the fig- ures for the public schools, com- piled by C. H. R. Fuller, business administrator for the Board of Edu- cation it is seen that the city will benefit to the extent of over $7,000 under the new regulations. The présent grant to public schools is $2,200, but the increased grant is expected to be considerably in ex- cess of $8,000, a gain of $6,000 or mere. | This js made up of Chet $r per Bead grant on over 3,000 pupils, and about six per cent. on the sal- ary list of about $120,000.

Judgment was reserved, The Oshawa Railway Company gama, in its appeal, that the rial judge, Mr. Justice Raney. should have found the co-defen- dents, Smith Transport, Limited of this city, liable, due to negligence on the part of the truck driver. The action arose out of an ac- cident last spring on Simcoe street south, near the garage of Smith Transport, Ltd. A trailer of one of the Smith Transport trucks de. came caught in the rails of the Oshawa Railway street car tracks due to a fall of snow that made the streets slippery, and a street car crashed into the trailer, Mrs. Topping was sitting in the front seat of the street car at the.time and received quite serious injurfes as a result of the crash. The front of the street car was quite badly damaged. When the suit for mages' Wis heard on October 8 nt Osgoode Hall, Mr, Justice Raney found that the motorman was negligent in that he had a clear view of the truck and trailer, and had ample time to take the neces- sary precautions 'to prevent the accident. He awarded Mrs. Top- ning $1,200 and costs and Henry Topping $300 and costs. The appeal against this decision was heard at Osgoode Hall Tues. day and Wednesday, before Chief Justice Latchford and Justices Riddell. Masten and Fisher. J. R. Cartwright and A. W. 8.

The company was organized solely as a com- munity venture, with all of its of- ficers working entirely without fee or other remuneration, in or- der to make possible the location of new industries in the city. About the same time, the ratepay- ers of Oshawa voted in favor of a bylaw providing for the establish- ment of industrial areas in Osh- awa, and as a result of the com. bination of these two efforts, Osh- awa has before it a great possibil- ity of industrial development. Al- ready the Skinner Company, Lim- ited, has been established on the industrial area, and right along- side of it, in the very near future, will be built the factory for the Coulter Manufacturing Company, Limited. Prominent Men Directors The purpose of the Oshawa In. dustrial Foundation, Limited, 18 to provide, after thorough inves- tigation and the signing of defi nite and satisfactory agreements, to provide buildings for industries, on a rental or option to buy, basis and to give such other assistance as its directors may dcem desir- able for the establishment of new industries in the community. Its directors and officers are all men of recognized standing in the com- munity. President of the company is George W. McLaughlin, whose judgment in industrial matters is considered invaluable. The 1st vice-president is Mayor T. B. Mit. chell. the 2nd vice-president, F. L. Mason, secretary-treasurer of the Pedlar People Limited, and the di- rectors are T, C. Hodgins, manag- er. of the Oshawa Brauch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and George Hart, president of the Osh- awa Dalry, Limited. F. J. Reddin, manager of the Central Canada oan and Savings Company, is ecretary-treasurer and G, D. Con- ant, of the firm of Conant & An- nig, president of the Chamber of Commerce, is acting as solicitor for the company without remuner. ation, as are all the others. officers and directors, Purpose of Issue The purposes of which the issue of $100,000 of capital stock, as outlined in the prospectus are: first: to provide for the erection of the factory building which is to be occupied by the Coulter Manu- facturing Company on Simcoe street south, and to assist the com- pany in equipping its plant with 60 cycle motors, which are requir- ed for Oshawa power. It is propos- ed 'to utilize the balance of the ls- suo for the erection of a factory for ono of several other industries with which negotiations are be- ing conducted. Needless to say, the Coulter industry has veen thoroughly investigated by the di- rectors of the Oshawa Industrial Foundation, and has been endors- ed by the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, as being an industry of a splendid type, already well-es- tablished, and with every prospect of becoming one of the major in. dustries of the city. Hope For Good Response The firm of Cutler and Preston, of this city, has been appointed as financial agents for the Oshawa Industrial Foundation, and will have charge of the selling of the stock issue. Thus it is interesting to note that the proceeds of the issue will be retained in Oshawa, to provide employment for Oshawa workmen in the building of fac- tories which in turn, will also be- come large factories in providing work for the citizens of Oshawa. This is in every way an unique effort on the part of those behind the Oshawa Industrial Foundation to promote the growth and devel- opment of the city, and they are very hopeful that the stock issue will be fully subscribed in order to enable them to go ahead without dolay with the plans for the estab: lishment~of new industries. \ DADDY LONG LEGS' WELL PORTRAYED BY YOUNG PEOPLE League of Simcoe Street Church Presents Play Before Large Audience "Daddy Long Legs," Jean Web- ster's play in four acts, was present- ed by the Young People's League of Simcoe Street United Church before a large audience in Rotary Hall last night. The play was under the d!- rection of Mrs. G. D. Conant, of the Oshawa Litte Theatre, assisted by Mrs, C. M. Mundy, George Walsh Nora Mundy and Charles Peacock. Last night's performance was very creditable and the directors and those who took part deserve com- mendation for the manner in which lit was conducted. The interest of | "he audience never flagged as the delightful, but somewhat touching story of Judy, the little orphan girl, was unfolded. ; The dificult role of Judy was played with marked ability by Maude K. Yates, who interpreted the character of the brave little or- phan girl with keen understanding and sympathy. Harold W. Grant, as the grave and dignified Jervis Pendleton, her benefactor seemed admiraby suited for *his part and acted with great ease. G. E, Flem- ing took well the part of the dig- nified and explosive orphan asylum trustee. Gertrude Newman gave a good interpretation of Mrs, Lippet, ndrrow minded and self righteous governess of the John Grier orphan home. Eleanor Fleming and Ollwen | ward, as Julia Pendleton and Sal- |1le McBridge, college roommate of | Judy, were quite loveable characs. |ers. John Pugh. acted ably as | James McBride, Judy's would-be | "uitor. Edna Johnson was Miss Pritchard, Jervis Pendleton"s re- pected friend, while Evelyn Gay sas Pendleton's snobbish sister-in- aw. Louise Edmondson acted suc- cessfully as Mrs. Semple, of Daddy Long Legs' summer farm. In fact all the actors did well last night and it was pleasing to atch the performance of six chil- dren, Billy Johnston, Kathleen Harper, Helen Armour, Sylvia Clarke, Shelia Wallace and Clare Hayton who played the part of the little inmates of the John Grier home. Other parts were taken as follows: Abner Parsons, J. R. Her- ancourt; Griggs--the lawyer, Walt- er Johnson: Walters--the butler, | Norman Hoag; Maid, Willow Rob- | bins; Maid, Flossie Johnson; Doc- tor, Floyd Yates. The stage settings were gener- ousy loaned by the Little Theatre and under the efficient direction of A, M. Robinson, stage controller, little time was lost between acts. The Simcoe St. United Church Sunday School Orchestra under the leadership of F. E. Bartlett, con- tributed much to the enjoyment of the evening by playing several fine selections between acts. At the conclusion of the first act, Miss Margaret Luke, on behalf of the Young People's League pre- sented Mrs. Conant with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as a token of appreciation from the league for the time and energy which Mrs. Conant has expended in directing the play. Mrs. Conant athough taken by sur- prise, made appropriate reply and stated that if the play were a suc- cess it would not be due to her ef- forts but rather to the willing co- operation lent by all who had taken part. To Display Work Of Scout Toy Shop So that citizens of Oshawa may sce for themselves how exten- sive has been the campaign con- ducted by the boy scouts of the city in repairing and repainting toys which will gladden many young folk in" this city on Christ- mas day, a display of the toys collected and mended will be on view in Charles Kohen's store at the corner of Simcoe Street north and Richmond street on Friday and Saturday from 2 to 4.30 in the afternoon. 'Mr. Kohen has kindly loaned the store for this purpose. Today some of the firemen are busy arranging the toys in rows preparatory to the public show- ing while others of the fire bri- gade are still busy with the toys ° in the toyshop. Boy scomts, as- sisted by the firemen, will be in attendance at the showing of the toys tomorrow and Saturday. Pete: "My wife doesn't under- stand me, does yours?" John: "I don't know.

But al- though rumors are rife those who are regarded as probable candi- dates are still non-committal and are keeping their intentions very much in the dark. Tuesday, December 2, was the last day for entering appeals against the voters' list, but ac- cording to City Clerk Hare ap- peals have only been reccived from five persons, requesting the addi- tion of ten names to the list No appeals have becn received for the removal of mames, he states, Mayoralty Aspirants With Ald. George Hart, chair- man of the board of works, defi. nitely in the field as a mayoralty candidate, other members of the city council are also said to have aspirations for the position which Mayor T. B. Mitchell is vacating at the end of the year. The two most prominently mentioned are Ald. P. A. Macdonald, for two years chairman of the finance com- mittee, and Ald. G|. T. Morris, who has been a city alderman for sev- eral years. "I will be in the fleld as candi- date for mayor or alderman," Ald. Macdonald told The Times today. "I have no definite announcement to make yet but you may say that I am seriously considering run- ning for mayor." Ald. G. T. Morris could not be reached' by telephone. "I hardly believe I will be a candidate for council this year," Ald. Waterous of Cedardale Ward said today. 'There are rumors that there will be several new can- didates in our ward but this I can. not verify." Ald. E, Jackson, veteran repre- sentative from Cedardale, when questioned by The 'Times. stated he intended to make an announce- ment later in the week. Ald. R. McDonald, of Cedardale, was not certain whether he would seek re-election or not and hinted that he might withdraw this year. "Probably I won't be a candi- date for the 1931 council," Ald. Hawks of the north-east ward In. formed The Times. "No new names have been mentioned for our ward as yet." Ald. Gordon Bunker, also of the north-east ward, had no statement to make today. "I have no statement to make at the present time, although it is possible that I may be a candi- date," Ald. 8. Gummow of the south-east ward intimated. "I don't know yet what I am going to do," sald Ald. 8. Jackson of the south-west ward. Inquiry into the south-west ward revealed that Percy Morden, of 34 Nassau street, may run for the council. F. O. Kirby is also mentioned as a possible candidate. "I have been approached by sev- eral from various parts of the ward," Mr. Kirby commented, but I am not prepared as yet to make a statement to the press." As an official of the South-west Ward Ratepayers' Association, Mr. Kirby stated that the association' might have something to say in the matter when it holds its next reg~ ular meeting in the near future. I am unable to give you a de. finite answer just now," Ald. W. J. Sulley, of the south-west ward, replied in answer to The Times' query this morning. W. E. Clark, of 97 Athol street east, is mentioned as a possible Rew candidate for the south-east ward. "I have been approached b: - eral" he admitted today, "put I have no statement to make." December Election Question Once again the question arises as to whether it would not be bet. ter to adopt the system in use in several other Ontario cities where municipal elections are held on the first Monday in December instead of the first Monday of the new year. Discussing the subject with Mayor Mitchell today His Worship commented favorably upon this oft Suggested proposal, nder the present arra ment the nominations and oir come at a holiday time when there is too much festive spirit for the people to think seriously on the matters presented to them," Mayor 'Mitchell said.
