RATEPAYERS DEMAND INQUIRY INTO CONTRACT (Continued from page 1) possible irregularities may be cleas~ ed up, Has Power : It was pointed out that the muni- cipal act set forth in the section stated above that the city council can pass a resolution asking for the county judge to investigate any mat- ter relating to a supposed malfeas- ance or breach of trust or any mis- conduct on the part of any mem- ber, of the council or to enquire into any matter relating to the good government of the municipality, in- cl Ai an IN H oc y by a i appointed by the council or elected by the electors. In the discussion of the matter, a member of the association, charg- ed that Frank Mason had tried to brow beat George Alchin with re- gard to the filtration plant in a dis- cussion of the awarding of the contract, / President Clark announced to the meeting that the work of the rate- payers' associations in the city were evidently bearing fruit as the ques~ tion of the pay for relief labour had been changed to straight pay, and as the associations had profest- ed against the system of one day's pay and groceries for the other two days, Tax Collector A letter was received by the ass sociation which was read to the members in which the attention of the association was drawn to the rumours that were circulating in the city concerning the appointment of WN. Ford, at present tax collector for the city, to assistant to Peter Blackburn, city treasurer. Several of the members asked it Mr, Ford would draw a higher wage than the stenographer whose position he would then fill and if so were the taxpayers to be put to a greater expense by the ap- pointment of a tax collector at a wage proportional to that received by Mr, Ford at present, One mem- ber stated that he had heard that a city alderman had already been picked for the job of tax collector and that the appointment was all cut and dried. One member of the association also took exception to the system of collecting taxes by having the bailiff seize any surplus furniture, This member stated that if the bailiff came to his home he would resist even if it cost him a court action. Opposes Bylaws Ex-Alderman Brown in his re- marks stated that the sponsors of the proposed bylaws were attempt- ing to make it impossible for the workingman to be elected to the city council even: though in many cases he was more competent than those clected, The working man had learned in the hard school of experience which was better than anything that could be gained by a university education or studying books, He asserted the workingman was the man who knew the needs of the people. The council want to rob the working man of the thing that. he cherishes most "British Fair Play," When we have a city council .or board of education on which the workingman is not given fair representation, he is being slighted, There has been too much of the clique system in Oshawa councils in the past and some of the members were not above taking a box of cigars on occasion, If the ward system is done away with the southern end of the city will be unrepreseented, Mr. Brown maintained, He said a candidate may be put up by that section of the city but he would never be able to be elected as the people living in the northern section of the city would place a candidate against him and elect him, It would causebad feelings in that way asserted the speaker, We would be governed and controlled by a clique in the northern section of the city. On the other hand it would be impossible for a candidate of the working class to be elected without the expendi. ture of at least $150 which in the majority of cases was beyond their reach, Mr, Brown in concluding his re- marks pressed for an expression of sentiment by the association as the attitude with regard to the bylaws and this was taken and recorded a unanimous. vote in opposition to their being passed, and any change made to the present system. Mr, Brown asked that the members re- fuse to vote for any candidate who used the passage of the bylaws as a flank in his election platform, t was resolved that the next meeting of the association would be held one week earlier than was set forth in the constitution in order to hear candidates' before the annual nomination proceedings, OSHAWA MAN'S AUTOMOBILE FATAL ACCIDENT (Continued from page 1) baby, Vivian, who had previously been thought unharmed when thrown from the wrecked peram- S| bulator, was selsed with very sev. ere vomiting and was found to be suffering from shock, while there is a 'possibility of internal injur- ies, ' Had No Light While Mr, Rutherford had his lights lit on his car, visibility was low and dusk had fallen, there was no light bf any kind on the perambulator as required by see- tion nine, sub-section eighteen of the Highway Traffic Act, according to Information given to the press.

C, Young, who voiced appreciation of a most interesting and instructive address, Y.W.C.A., SECRETARY IMPRESSED BY CITY Saint John, N, B, -- Returning to Saint John after a year spent in Y.W.CA. and Y.M.C/A, work in St. John's, Newfoundland, Mrs, Perci- val Foster, National Field secretary of the Y.W.C.A, was warmly wel- comed back by fellow workers anc many old friends recently, Mrs. Foster, who for more than a year was general secretary of the Saint John Y.W.CA, has been in St, John's in an endeavour to get into closer touch with the "Y" work there, and since her return has vis- ited Sydney, Halifax and Yarmouth.

The men wear a sort of white mess jacket with a Kamer- band around the waist, and ordinary evening dress trousers, Many pass- engers purchase their tropical kit in Bombay where prices are very low, They have themselves measured when the ship arrives and, when their Indian tour of nine days con- cludes at Bombay again, their cloth- es are ready waiting for them, Palm Beach clothes, silks, and tropical cottons are to be had very cheaply all over the East, particularly in Japan and China, : Heavy Clothing Fairly heavy tweedss a heavy overgoat, and raincoat are also nec- essary, for visits to hilly districts in Japan and India, and for crossing the Atlantic and Pacific, in some parts, "Many people think that a world cruise is expensive, but it is often much cheaper to use a liner for five months as a palatial home, see the world in style, and live like a king, than to stay home," he said, "Lots minimum fare of $1750 in five months at home in America," de- clared Mr. Cullum, "Extra expens- es, if one is moderate in one's shop- ping, need not exceed $500, but everything depends on one's tastes. One of my passengers has been around the world six times, another four times, and several have done it twice or three times." Last year, every passenger at my table ha heen, atound the world with us be ore. Despite the current troubles: in Manchuria, arrangements are being made as usual for the entertain. ment of the Cunarder world cruise passengers in the Chinese capital next spring, Mr. Cullum said, He paid enthusiastic tribute to the ex~ cellence of chinese railways, comfort on trains, d cuisine in the din- ingears and efficiency of train oper- ation, ing camp, and the M.O. suspected funking.

President £, W, Musson then officially welcomed the audience, The Misses Shotter start- ed the program with a very pretty piano duet followed by a splendidly rendered vocal solo by Mr, Alan Knight. Mrs, Wm, Adams in her usual very fine style gave the hum- orous monologue Levinsky's Wed- ding which proved a great hit with the audience, Miss Phyllis Challis, always a favorite with local audi- ences gave an exceptiopally well played piano solo and the part of the program closed with a vocal solo and encore by Mrs, A, Colville, Mrs, Colville's first number was Danny Boy, Under the direction of Mrs, J, A, Gunn, the Young People presented the one act comedy "Sewing for the Heathen," The story was built around a meeting of the Ladies' Aid of a church who were meeting to finish a box of clothing for the Hottentots in Africa who were be- ing cared for by a clergyman nam- ed Mr, Dusenbury, That afternoon lage, Mrs, Powers, arrived at the meeting, She was extremely weal- thy but she was imstaken for the dressmaker, During the conversa- tion she told 'of how she was more a newly arrived resident of the il- J interested in work among the peor pie 0. her own country than that among the Afficans and mentioned one case of two ragged little child. ven she had met on the street thas afternoon, Lhese children proved to be those of the President of the wisdies' Aid, While the sewing bee was on a large box arived from tie sushunas ot the ladies present, Be~ Jeiving it to be a contribution to heir bux to Airica they unpacked it only to find that it was their men foli's clothes that needing nending and the play ended with the ladies sewing for their own "heathen" and letting the Hottentot heathen look after themselves, LITTLE HEADWAY MADE WITH HUCKEY The meeting scheduled between the Junior Hockey Club and: the business Men's Association was held in the council room last night but not much headway was made, the juniors wanted to know just how the matter would work out if they were under the direction of the Business Men but the Business M#n were unable to state that they had heen given any specific charge or way of handling the situation, I'herefore no final settlement was made and a further meeting will be held next Monday night at the same hour when it is hoped to put d* betore the Juniors the proposition of the Business Men, INTERMEDIATES ELECT OFFICERS The annual meeting of the Inter mediate Hockey Club was held at the latter end of last week and ar~ rangements for the coming season were made, The officers elected were: Hon, Pres, Mr. M, G, V.

The port authority's position was set forth in a statement, It pointed out that three competi- tive ports--Quebec, Montreal and New Orleans--are served by river gystems maintained and improved by national government money while the New York State barge canal system is entirely depend- ent on state appropriations, The statement sald that the tonnage carried in 1930 by the canal totalled 3,605,000 tonsg-- an increase of 25 per cent, over 1929-----and that army engineers report' that canal improvements in the next 10 or 15 years to meet needs of commerce will re- quire about $60,000,000, It added that the canal is an important link in the system of waterways extending from Flor. thence north-casterly to Maine and northwesterly to the Great Lakes, Every ling in this system ex- cept the New York canal and the canal across the state of New Jer- sey i§ maintained by the Federal Government, the statement sald, with the result that the Govern. ment is spending millions on wat» erways competing with New Candidate (to interrupter)--- "Really, sir, are you the candi- date or am 1?"

FRACTIONAL STAMPS CONSIDERED RARE Montreal, --Postage stamps of fractional denomination are so rare today that the receipt of a letter bearing two 11-2 cent United States stamps caused cone siderable interest and led to en~ quiry at the General Post Office in Montreal recently. It was learned that the 11.2 cent stamp was issued in the United States last September when changes in the postal rates made it necessary for consign. ments of printed matter, it is rarely seen on letters although the increase of the United States postage rate on letters to Canada from 2 to 3 cents has made its use possible, Canada has not had a stamp of fractional den>mination since 1908, but a 1-2 cent postage rate on certain types of reply cards used by commercial houses is provided for by the sale of such cards with the replica of a 1.2 cent stamp impressed on them.
