Flectrie Power Commission of On- tario. 'This roply will be sent to the city solleitor for verification, and if ha confirms it, there seems to he nothing now in the way of the utilities hoard huying the site it desires from the city and pro- ecaending with the erection of an of fica hullding, The loeal commission was can- tioned by the H.E.P.CC, however, that only surplus funds could he used to srect such a huilding, to | | that application must he made to the Ontario headquarters for ap- proval of both the site chosen and of the plans for the bhullding, a» | well as a statement that the money to he used is part of a surplus on hand, Approval has already been | ortunity rYogress The writer desires to take this opportunity of expressing his appreciation for the opportunity afforded him for the next few days to again serve the City and demonstrate what a real live and progressive City can do to overcome any obstacle standing in the way of a desired objective and in this particular case, the industrial development of the City of Oshawa, His experience as Industrial Commissioner for two years proved to him that only one thing was lacking for the future industrial success of Oshawa, and that was lack of modern industrial buildings available for rental on a reasonable basis, to suit the requirements of sound and well established manufacturing concerns, whose pro- fits in the past had been ploughed back into the business in the form of machinery, equipipent and materials, The element to overcome this obstacle in the City of Oshawa was secured by the incorporation of Oshawa Industrial Voundation, Ltd, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and ii is pleasing to note that the occasion has now arrived to place the above mentioned company into operation to establish dn the City a con cern as described above, viz, The Coulter Manufacturing Company, which it is understood will employ 100 people. The writer's previous experience in the development of business generally in other centres, gave him a good oportunity for gompari- son and without reservation be is forced to admit that no medium- sized city in the Province of Ontario has such sound aggressiveness for development as the City of Oshawa, This will, without doubt, he again demonstrated by the successful operation of Oshawa In dustrial Foundation, Ltd, which is a Company owned and controlled hy the citizens, to duplicate the outstanding success of companics formed for the same purposes by Chambers of Commerce in the Un ited States, The citizezns of Oshawa have the opportunity, by investing in Oshawa Industrial Foundation Ltd, to hasten the turn of the tils from depression to progression, LEON FRAZER "CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS Citizens Have O To Turn Tide 0 given the preliminary «plans for this building, Chairman ¥, 1.
