THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1931 PAGE THREE The Whitby sulatripions: wid Briach Offs 8 Gamtis tad Chronic Tawsbons 5. WhitL After ss Hours---Phoune Daily Times will bo received at the - REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON POLICE TO STOP SPEEDING ON THE STREETS OF WHITBY Warning Signs Will Be ¢. Esected and Stop Watch Used Motorists who make the habit of driving through Whitby at a high rate of speed, as fast as 60 miles an hour according to Chief H. W. Quan- trill, may shortly receive a rude jolt in the form of a blue ticket inviting them to call on Magistrate J. Lk Willis. The Council on Monday night, at the request of the Chief, and on the recomemndation, of the Streets com- mittee, decided to erect eight signs at the town entrances and in prominent laces along the two highways with in the town limits, warning motorists that the speed limit in Whitby is twenty miles an hour and ten miles at intersections. The idea of the Council and the Chief is to give speeding motorists who endanger the lives of citizens, more particularly little children going to and coming from school, fair warning, and to stop the reckless driving in the town which has now become a menage, Chief Quantrill reported that he proposed having these signs erected and to introduce the stop watch sys- tem in catching speeders who travel who travel at an excessive rate of speed. The Council felt that if some ac- tion was not taken along this line before long some person would be killed. The highways passing through the town were just speedways for many motorists, AS FRANCHISE AGREEWENT NOT BEFORE COUNCIL Document Has Been Handed to the Town Solicitor No further action was taken by Whitby Town Council on Monday evening at its regular semi-monthly meeting on the gas franchise pro- posal of Ben E. Tate which was pre- sented at a special meeting two weeks ago. The draft agreement and covering bylaw have been submitted by Ben E. Tate to the town solicitor, A. E, Christian, for perusal, but these have not yet been formally presented by him to the Council, In the meantime, Council is watch- ing with interest the meetings being held in Oshawa. with regard to the sale of the gas plant and the grant- ing of a fifty-year franchise in that city to Ben E. Tate, It is probable that some members will go to Osh- awa to hear Mr, Tate on Wednes- day evening. Intil the agreement and bylaw have been submitted to Council, no further steps can be taken so far as Whitby is concerned. The result of the voting in Oshawa on Saturday will be awaited here with interest in- asmuch as the proposal to Whitby is dependent on the sale of the plant in that city. WHITBY OPPOSED T0 ABOLITION OF THE INCOME TAX Would Mean Big Loss to Town-- Mayor Goes to Toronto ns ss en Whitby Town Council is strongly opposed to the bill now before the Legislative Committee of the Ontario Legislature which would abolish municipal income assessments in On- tario municipalities. At the Coun- cil meeting on Monday evening May- or Bowman was requested to go to Toronto Wednesday morning, when the bill comes up for consideration, and join with representatives of other municipalities who are vigorously op- posing the measure, Town Engineer H, L. Pringle told the Council that if the bill became law it would mean an annual $60,000 loss in assessment to Whitby, Fur- ther, it would mean an increase in the tax rate this year of a mill and a half. : It was pointed out by the assessor that last year the town lost $17,000 on account of a change in the law which raised the exemption, Reeve Jackson stated that if the proposed bill became effective it would be a serious thing for the Town of Whitby, He felt that Whit- by should be represented when a pro- test was being lodged. Town Clerk Frost stated that there was strong oposition to the bill in Oshawa, also in Toronto, the latter city leading the opposition forces. The Council, rh confronted with a number of tenders for fire hose, also with several representa- tives of hose manufacturers, decided to make no purchase this ycar, ow- ing to the financial stringency. The fire chief in his annual report tabled a few weeks ago recommended the purchase of an additional one hun- dred feet. ! Widen Subway Council was advised by the Domin- ion Railway Board of its approval of an order for the widening of the C. P.R. subway on Dundas Street East in the town of Whitby, This is a very dangerous spot on the highway, both for motorists and pedestrians, and when the work is completed by the C.P.R, pedestrians in particular will be protected. The Town of Whitby will pay a third of the cost not exceeding $2,000; the C.P.R. a similar amount and the Department of Highways the balance, The appli- cation to have this done was made | by the provincial government.

Mr, Ben- nett's tariff preference might have heen deliberately drafted so as to be unacceptable, and indeed, sub- mitted with the idea of embarras- sing the MacDonald Government, that Righ Hon. Mr. King last night sought to stir the house and the country into action to demolish the Bennett administration. Before crowded public galleries and crowded Conservative benches that taunted and jeered but never emptied, and supported by a full attendance of his own followers, former Premier King swept on and on, hour after hour, from 3.56 until 10.30 p.m. yesterday, de- nouncing the Government's briof record generally, but its Imperial Conference failure mainly, He portrayed the great opportunity that was wheat-laden Canada's at such a conclave----an opportunity smoothed by the King Government good-will policy for Canada to !ift herself out of an economic morass and at the same time oeccomplish Empire good. And the Bennott Government, partially lLeccause fit had flouted British good will by prior tariff increases: partially be- cause of the nature of the propos al, and partially, perhaps, through the "take-it-quick-and-don'*-argue' attitude of Premier Dennett in submitting it, Mr. King submitted, had utterly falled to procure for Canada any benefit, The Amendment Bowmanville Daily Times Representatives Phone No. 53 THEFT OF HONEY FROM THEATRE Two Boys Arrested and Will Appear in Juvenile Court Sometime during Sunday evening two youths broke into the Royal Theatre and stole a sum of money but their freedom did not last long and Chief Venton had them ferret- ed out yesterday and arrested. About 11 oclock on Sunday evening Mr. Fred Kane, the operator at the theatre entered the theatre to see to the furnace and at the bottom of the cellar stairs found the box in which the cash is kept over the week-end broken open, He immedi. ately reported the matter to night Constable Walter Hall who with the Chief made Investigations. The names of the young men who are accused of the theft are not men- tioned owing to their youth, Entrance is believed to have been gained by the breaking of a window in the back of the show and enter- ing that way although the window through which they are supposed to have gained entrance is very small. A pain of glass was broken and the thieves got in and onto the stage from where they made thelr way to the office and taking the case in which the money is kept to the cellar broke it open. This is not the first time the Royal Theatre has been visited by thieves but on several occasions thefts have been reported. The boys who are believe ed responsible for this theft will ap. pear in Juvenile Court, STREETS BENG CLEARED OF SNOW Country Roads, However, Are Still in Bad Condition With the continued warm weather the streets in Bowmanville are grad. ually being cleared of snow and the town is again returning to normal travelling conditions. However the country roads are still in a very bad state especially in the north where the mail men are still ex- perioncing difficulty in getting through. The snow which has drift- ed several feet high {in plaves makes the use of a car impossible and cutters and sleighs are again the order of the day. Most of the schools 'are now running normal and many that were noticeable for only half regular attendance are now receiving thelr full quota of pupils each day. PLAY PRESENTED BY ST. ANDREW'S After denouncing Premfor nett's overseas submissddony ng ime possible of accepionco by uny bri tish Government nnd their propa- gation in DBritoin by Mr. Dennett presumptuous end creative of Em- pire ill-will, Mr. Ling concluded his speech hy submitting the am- endment, geronded Ly Mr. Stewart that the following be added to the Address to His Excellency: Excellency that this House, while recognizing the rerlous economic conditions prevulling throughout the world, regrets that the policies of his Majesty's Government have not only falled te afford a remedy for unemployment: and agricultur- al distress, as pledged by the Prime Minister and his colleagues but have served further to preju- dice the deplorable position of the agricultural interests, thereby causing additional unemployment and substantially reducing the na- tional revenue, "The Houre believes that the proposals made to the Imperial Economic Conference and the man- ner in which they were submitted and discussed by the Prime Minis- ter of Canada, were responsible fon the failure of the Conference to accomplish its purpose In London, and that the successful develop- ment of Canada's trade relations with Great Britain has been ad- versely affected thereby, "The House is further of the opinion that, if these proposals and certain other policies of the Gov- ernment are persisted in, as would appear to be the intention of the Government as outlined in the Speech from the Throne, the very serious condition which exists at the present time will be intensi- fled rather than relieved."

Great credit is due to E. G. Nichol, who acted as director, the members of the cast, and those who managed the stage, for the splendid' manner in which the comedy was given, All three acts are laid In the liv. Ing room of George Murdoch's sum: mer cottage, George is an ambitious young man, who with his sister Syl via, find thelr fondest dreams almost ruined through "too many parents," the result of a domestic tangle, James Young, as George, had a diff). cult part but he interpreted it well. Verna Rutledge was well suited *to the role of Sylvia, George, who is the son of Captain Murdoch, falls in love with Evelyn Burton, daughter of the frrascible { old General Durton. Nora Herd act ed the part of the charming and beautiful Eveiyn, while Randall Mark | made a capable general, Mary Timms | was good in the character of Mary | Murdoch, George's weak and spine less mother, who ten months after learning of the supposed death at pea of her husband, Captain Mur. doch, marries Carraway Bones, a mo- ney grabbing undertaker. The part of Bones was ably played by Howard Saywell, It is this act of his moth: er's which prejudices General Bur. ton against George as a future son inlaw and things are further tan. gled when Captain Murdoch, played by Willlam Kirkwood, turns up in the flesh and proves that he was not drowned at sea. Moreover Captain Murdoch has been duped into be lHeving that he married Remedias, a Spanish beauty, while econvalescing in Beaunos Aires. Helen Yule acted the part of Remedias with success and climaxes the Murdoch family difficulties when she arrives at the summer cottage in search of Captain. Murdoch, There is another love affair in volved between Ned Stanley, Ste phen Sawyer), a young lawyer, and Sylvia Murdoch, The happiness of this proposed union is also threat ened by the Murdoch family tangle, George Murdoch sees his life blight ed as the general plans to hor, whip him instead of giving hi is daughter's hand, After séveral com- ical situations the tangle is finally unravelled when the sea captain and his wife are reunited, the Spanish senorita admits that their wedding Whitby Canadian Chautauqua 19-20- THURSDAY, 8.15--Popular Broadway Play, "Turn to the ght."
