The Whitby Daily Times TORONTO High Low 'Bowmanville Daily Times Stock OPINION SEENSTO " FAVOR PASSING OF GAS BYLAN Little Opposition to Measure Noted--Expect Meetings to be Held for Discussion Considerable interest is being manifested around the town in the coming vote of the municipal elec- tors on granting a gas franchise to the Ben E. Tate interests of Osh- awa and Chicago. While nothing but the preliminary passing of the bylaws has been done about the matter it is fully expected that meeitngs will be held to acquaint the electors with the facts sur- rounding the granting of a fran- chise. The Bylaw has appeared in the local newspaper hut once and it has evidently been read with keen interest by the ratepayers for there is much discussion on the matter. In general the opin- fone seem to lie with the council in granting the franchise and very little is heard against the proposal. Some have vet a rather hazy idea of what it all means and it is for the benefit. of these that it is hoped that meetings will be held. The bylaw is comprehen- sive and covers a very large field. The main features of the bylaw provide for an agreement with Ben ¥. Tate representing the Utilities Power and Light Corporation which has recently formed an On- tario company under the name of THE SALVATION ARMY MUSICAL CRUSADERS A brigade of 20 officers from Toronto--all musicians --a brass octette--vocal party-- stringed orchestra--destric. tive dialogue--"The Beauti- ful City".

Cragg -- Presentation Is . Made to Members Leaving Oshawa whose gas plant was recently com- |" pleted. That city voted very heav« ily in favor of the granting of a franchise and the sale of its plant to this organization whicli appears to have large financial backing. It is heavily capitalized and is prepared to spend a considerable sum in its work of extension. The plan for Bowmanville calls for an agreement with the town whereby the company is granted a franchise over a period of 85 years, Originally a 50 year fran- chise was asked but this was modi- fied in the second agreement pre- sented to the council. The com- pany also agrees to construct the mains at their own cost, replace any damage done to streets and to abide generally by the orders of the town council. It agrees to spend a large sum of money with- in one year in the installation of these mains, The gas would be piped in the frist place from Osh- awa along the Provincial Highway provided permission is granted by the Ontario Government. It would then be laid within a certain zone in Bowmanville which is plainly stated in the bylaws. The work in connection with the laying of mains in the town would be done, except for supervision, by local la- bor. Looking at it in this sense alone it would seem a good thing to provide work for the entire summer for a large numher of men. Then the company does not ask for any guarantee from the town for any number to use it. It does agree however to 'provide gas to any resident on any street within the stated zone within one vear from the date of the ¢om- between the Tt has heen stated by men who are con- versant with the situation that the town will never prosper materi- ally, by the locating of new indus- tries without the gas utilze, It has also been stated that as far as the Hydro {is concerned it would not interfere with its opera- tion should the town purchase the system this year or at any future time. It would in fact be the means of reducing the peak load each day and costing the town less for its power, Gas is generally recognized as the cheapest fuel for cooking pur- poses and also for manufacturing. It is not only cheaper than elec- tricity but is also considered much faster. In fact it would prove a boon to householders by these reasons. Then again it is not as expensive to install as electricity. It requires no special wiring nor does a stove for its use. cost with- in a considerable amount of an electric stove. It 1s conceded by business men all over the town that the installation of gas in the town would be of the greatest benefit and as the town by the agreement stands to gain every- thing and lose nothing the bylaw is fully expected to pass on May 9th with a large majority.

C. E. Cragg, pastor of King Street United Church, Mr, Cragg said that, while conditions in respect to the consumption of liquor were worse today than they were ten years ago in Canada, yet they were better than 26 or 30 years ago, when the open bar flourished, and inspired the members of the organization to continue their work, particularly along education- al lines. There were three great forces that bore upon public opin- ion in connection with any great social issue. These were, custom, which had a great influence on many people: the press, which could do great good or great evil, by its attitude; and the church. The program included violin numbers by'B., W. Haynes, read- ings by Mrs. J. C. Massey and | Lloyd Newall, banjo duets by Messrs. W. H. and Willis Jackson, and Hawailan guitar numbers hy R. J.-Wannop and William Ed- wards. Rev. Mr. Cragg also, on behalf of the council, made a presenta- tion of a fine electric toaster to Mr, and Mrs. who are shortly leaving the city, connection with the Royal Temp- lar work while in Oshawa. Mr. Young replied suitably. Obituary BERTHA MAY BROCK The death occurred at her res' Tuesday, Arpil 21st, of Berths May Bradley, beloved wife of Francis George Brock in her fort: second year.

Ruthven Mec- Donald, well known singer and reader. The choir was under the leadership of Donald S. Linden, an old friend of Capt. Best, local Bap- tist pastor, while Harold Frost pre- sided at the organ and piano, The concert was of the highest order. It could not have been other- wise with such a fine choir on the program, The choir numbered about 30, and their kindness in coming to Whitby to help Capt. Best and his church workers was more than ap- preciated. Numbers rendered in- cluded those of the old English and Russian schools, and some of the more modern and secular pieces. The choir is well balanced and has some very fine soloists. The visitors were introduced by Hours--Phone 358. REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON the pastor, Capt. Best, and they gave a program which lasted the best part of two hours. Mr. Ruthven McDonald proved to be very popu- lar. His readings were most accept- able. His best numbers were per- haps "I Forgot," the story of an old soldier, and 'The Rose." Mr. Mc- Donald is a member of the the vis- iting choir. The entire program was very en- joyable and was heard by a fairly large audience. The numbers were: Anthem, "Come Holy Spirit Come," (Cesar Franck) St. George's choir; Invocation, Capt. Bert, Lord's Prayer by choir; Two anthems: "O Holy Father" (Palestrina), "0 Gladsome Light" (Arkhangelsky), St. George's choir; hymn, congrega- tion and choir; Anthem, "Go to dark Gethsemene' * (Noble), St. George's choir; Male chorus, "'Sac- tus" (Weber), men of the choir; reading, Mr. H. Ruthven McDonald; two glees: "Far Away' ' London- derry air and "Sweet and Law" St. George's choir; spprano solo, Mrs. (Faure), Messrs. Bartlett and Cope- land; Anthem, "Bless the Lord O my soul, (Ivanoff), St. George's choir; contralto solo, Miss Amy Flemming; hymn, congregation and bchoir; reading, Mr. H. Ruthven Mc- Donald; bass solo, Mr. D. S. Linden; anthem, "O Give Thanks," (Goss), benediction. At the close of the concert the visitors were entertained to lunch by the ladies of the church, during which Capt. Best, on behalf of the congregation, thanked them for coming to Whitby.
