Council Seeks To Prevent Living in Tempoary Buildings As a follow-up to the recent charges concerning persons living in temporary buildings prior to the construction of their houses, the city council Tuesday night passed a motion to instruct. the city engi- neer's department "not to issue a permit to anyone for the erection of a private garage or any type of building other' than a house as called for in the agreement on any city-owned lot which may hereafter be sold until after the said house has been erected, sheeted in and the roof on." The motion, moved by Alderman F, M. Dafoe, also pro- hibited putting a trailer on any city-owned lot to be used as living quarters during the course of con- struction of the house, "On the whole I feel that we have to tighten up the rules on how these lots are disposed of, in order to ensure that anyone buying a lot is not given a chance to put up a shack and perhaps stay -there per- manently," Alderman Dafoe de- clared. It was also moved that no electri- cal or water connections be made to any building that would be likely to be used as a temporary dwelling, without the approval of "the city council, Concerning the case of A. H. Adams, who was charged with con- travéning a city building bylaw in connection with the erection of a temporary building as a dwelling, a committee composed of the mayor and the chairman of Finance and City Property was instructed to take te matter up with the city solici- or. Council Is Firm On Sale Terms City council on Tuesday night re- mained firm on its stipulation that it would sell the 19 Celina Street property only on the condition that .the city reserve a strip of land be- tween the present street line and a line parallel with the west wall' of the Mayfair Lanes Bowling Alley for the purpose of widening Celina Street at a future date, Max Crozier, proprietor of the Royal House Furnishings Co. had submitted an offer of $6,000 for the lot, which has a frontage of 60 feet on the east side of Celina Street. Council had agreed to accept the offer on the condition that the strip of land at the front be retained. On Tuesday night, however, a letter was read from Mr. Crozier's solicitor, L. 8. Hyman, stating that these terms were not acceptable to Mr. Crozier as it would place the westerly face of his building some eight feet back from the adjacent buildings. He said that he was pre- pared to purchase the property only if he were permitted to build in line with the buildings on either side. "The council had at one time con- sidered this lot for the erection of a public lavatory but more recently it had been proposed that this accom- modation be installed in the new building to be erected by the Public Utilities Commission on Metcalfe Street. Government Authorities On Major Part of Project On the recommendation of C. A. Meadows of Meadows, Critoph and Co., consulting engineers, who pre- sented his second report on the city's proposed sewage treatment plant and ' incinerator, Tuesday night, the .city council authorized calling of tenders for the equipment and stack for the incinerator while plans and specifications are com=- pleted for the building required to house the equipment. Concerning the sewage treatment plant, the major project, council felt that it was not in a position as yet to place an order for the equipment or to proceed with calling tenders for the building and a committee was named to interview Department of Health, Ontario Municipal Board and other officials while Meadows, Critoph and Co. proceed with the completion of plans and specifica= tions for the plant. Mr. Meadows, who along with his assistant, F, Williams, showed council large size wash drawings of the proposed structures and ex- plained their functioning, recome mended that the equipment for the sewage plant be purchased from eo list of firms he outlined and that tenders be called for the construce tion of the building proper: Regarding the incinerator, he ad- vised two separate contracts, one for the equipment and chimney and one for the building, grounds and roads. He recommended that tend- ers for the equipment and chimney be called now and his firm mean= while would complete the specifica=- tions for the building. He said that it was practicable to call tenders for equipment in the case of the incinerator while for the sewage plant no one firm would manufact- ure all the equipment required and 'he was of the opinion that the most satisfactory equipment could be secured from the firms which he named. Capacity of 40 Tons The incinerator proposed has a capacity of 40 tons for 10 hours of operation and also storage space for 20 tons. He said that while he sug= gested a four-cell rectangular fur= nace of high temperature type the specifications also provided for con= sideration of other types of fur= naces. The garbage trucks would back up to the wide front door of the pro- posed incinerator building and dump the garbage. The garbage id then sorted, removing any large, hard objects, and then dried on the hearth, raked out and burned. The clinkers would be dragged out and discharged every day. Mr. Mea~- dows said that three men would probably be required to operate the incinerator. Plans, he said, call for. a stack 125 to 150 feet high. Mr. Meadows said that it was posed to locate the sewage tregy- ment plant in the ravine § to the north of the Harbor Road, while the incinerator would be farther north, just east of the in- tersection of Birch and Wentworth Avenues, ; Most Modern in Canada The proposed sewage treatment plant, Mr. Meadows explained is designed to be "the most up to date, the most modern and the best COMPLETE PLANS (Continued on Page 9) Lots of Fruit -- But Odds Against Canning In the "good old days" most housewives weren't satisfied until they had row upon row of gleaming jars full of all the different kinds of berries in their fruit cellars. Now few housewives have the cellars, much less the fruit, The lack of cellars can probably be blamed on the current housing shortage, but what of the fruit? Good Supply Managers of the fruit stores in Oshawa claim that the supply this year is just as good as last, if not better. Last year apples were hard to come by, but so far there has been no real scarcity of anything. "We're anticipating a bumper crop of peaches' one of them re- marked, "and supplies of -every- thing have been goed. If nothing unforeseen happens, it will be a good year as far as fruit is concern- To the average male, such reports | might sound encouraging as he en- | visages fresh blueberry and cherry ples next winter from the fruit that his wife will be "doing up". But it just doesn't work that way. First he forgot about his wife's dwindling supplies of sugar. Not For Canning Then, average fruit prices are high, just like wages and every- thing else. Fruit prices just don't make canning worthwhile. Maybe a few jars so that the family can get an inkling of the real taste in 'the middle of next winter, But it is no good for quantity. The answer is partly in the old law of supply and demand. If there is a lot of one kind of fruit this year, prices will be jow; with more people buying it, you won't find much, If one variety is scarce, prices go up. Most housewives don't want LOTS OF FRUIT (Continuea on Page a)
