G, Luke, had originally pro- posed obtaining from Mr, Charlton land necessary for opening Rich- mend Street and giving in exchange the land running from the east limit of his property to the prop- erties on the west side of Cadillac Aveaue, Mr, Charlton had not been agreeable to this proposition, how- ever, and it had been decided that he should transfer to the city a portion of his property at the north, leaving the city with lots on both sides of the Colborne Street exten- sion. Opposing the council's decision, Mr. Eagle had contended that even more lots could be made available by opening Colborne Street west from Cadillac Avenye to the Charl- ton property and a parallel street of similar length farther south. Community Chest (Continued from Page 1) think he was much gobd but would there be anything he could do to help in the campaign, He said his feet were no longer very good but his heart was still the same.

Binding Agreement Mr. Stratton, representing the president of the firm, Hon.J. Farl Lawson, explained that the Odeon Theatres had a binding agreement to purchase the property in ques- tion providing that a theatre could be erected and it was necessary, therefore, to have the permit before closing the deal, He pointed out that there were three tenants on the property at the present time and he expressed the bellef that in view of the material situation, May 1 of next year would be the earliest pos- sible date. at which construction could be proceeded with. . Addressing council, Mr. Stratton explained that Odeon Theatres of Canada was completely a British concern, owned and controlled by Odeon Theatres of Great Britain, the president of which is J. Arthur Rank. He explained that the firm had not intended originally to build theatres in Canada but it had been found that this was virtually the only means of having British films shown here. Plan Big Chain He sald that the firm now owns 103 theatres in Canada and 169 ad- ditional ones are planned in the im- mediate future, Last week he said, a permit had been obtained for the erection of a 1,500-seat theatre in Ottawa, The architect, J. I. English sald that nine theatres across Canada are under construction by the com- pany at the present time, and he pointed out that every endeavour was made to interfere as little as possible with heusing materials, Mr, English explained that as the building must be fireproof its con- struction would consist generally of steel and concrete, with' the only lumber required being that used for form work. He said the theatre would have a stone front and plate tile would be used for the walls, Well Back From Street His attention being drawn by Ald. F. M. Dafoe to the city bylaws con- cerning the distance such a bulld- ing would have to be built back from street, Mr, English said that the proposed width of the building was 64 feet and it was planned to build 18 feet back from Victoria Street, The distance back from King Street had been set at 20 feet, he sald, pointing out that the pro- depth for the bullding was 126-feet plus rear exit, He explained that considerably more foyer room would be provided than was the case in most theatres and the seating capacity would be greater only the English plan was being followed of allowing more room between the seats. He added that there would be a small balcony seating about 200 people. Adjourn Hearing Of Assault Case To Call Witness When the defendent in an assault case thought it unnecessary to have her only witness appear in court to- day, Magistrate F. S. Ebbs asked that the case be adjourned until October 30 and the witness sub- poened to appear so that all the facts of the case could be heard. This gecurred in the case of 'Wal- ter Potts, 64 Westmount Avenue, charged by Mrs, Lily Burleigh, 419 King Street West, with assault. Mrs. Burleigh told the court that Mr,' Potts had struck her in the face on October 7, smashing her glasses, when he was visiting the home of her employer, B. W. Cor- son, She said that Potts had been bothering her in the afternoon and when he came that evening as Cor- son went out to the barn, she had asked him to leave, Defense counsel Louis 8. Hyman pointed out that she had thrown a dish and a dishpan at Potts before he alleged struck her, After Mrs, Burleigh gave her evi- dence, Magistrate Ebbs asked why her most important witness, Corson, was not in court to testify, She said that she didn't consider it ne- cessé The judge considered it otherwise and adjourned the case.

C. M. German for alcoholic condition were related this morning by Dr. Warren Wilkins Jr, at the preliminary hearing of Judge Ger- man op a charge of dangerous driv- ing, "He gave me his name and ad- dress and occupation, He said the day was Wednesday. He told me his health was poor and that he was taking insulin dally. "I put a pencil on the floor and asked him to pick it up. He missed it the first time but did it the sec- ond time, "I asked him to stoop three times and he did that well, I asked him to close his eyes and put the tips of his index fingers together, He did this test poorly, He was fairly good touching his index fingers in turn to his nose. He staggered and faltered trying ot walk a crack on the floor. "He ad- mitted it was not 100 per cent. Wrote Poorly He tried to write a sentence at my direction and did it poorly. His breath reeked of alcohol. He was asked to read from a calendar on the wall but read something from a list of Magistrate Courts. "I told him that in my opinion he was under the influence of alcohol and did he want a blood test. He assented and I took one," testified the doctor, . Too Late for Re-Test Under cross examination Dr, Wil- kins sald that when called to the police office he did not know for what purpose he had been summon- ed, After he had sent away the blood sample he later learned that a blood sugar test had not been taken of the sample, It was too late after the blood test to take an- other one for blood sugar, Dr, Wilkins said that insulin- controlled diabetics on occasion suffered reactions. Tuesday's Evidence James Quigley, Willlam Street, yesterday testified that he was walking along the highway just be- fore the accident. Mrs, Taylor and her daughter passed, heading in the same direction. He sald he first heard a thud and a scream and then saw a car swerve across the road. and come to a stop. "I saw that the driver was Judge German and he seemed to me as if he was staggering, The police took his arm and put him in a car and drove off," testitied Quigley. Expected Accident Malcolm Burd of Cobourg testi- fied that\he saw a car, later found to have been driven by the accused, "swoop" around him at the corner of Willlam and King streets, and proceed north, He said that he ex- pected by the way the driver was going from side to side that there would be an accident, and soon af- ter came upon Mrs, Taylor in the ditch with the judge attempting to comfort her while they waited for the doctor. Witness told defence counsel that he did not smell any liquor off the judge's breath. At the afternoon session, Con- stable Joe Taylor said that he went to the scene of the accident around 9.00 pm, and on arrival found a woman lying in the ditch with the judge patting her hand. Mrs, Tay- lor told the constable that she had been struck by Judge German's car while she was in the ditch, The judge swayed when he got up, wit- ness said. Smelled Strongly of Liquor "I could see the judge staggering, his face was flushed and he smelled strongly of alcohol. I felt that he was in no condition to either drive a car or walk on the highway so I sent him back to town in a car with Constable Pearse, We took him to the police office where the chief constable and myself and the Judge went into the chief's office. The chief told the judge that it was his privilege to have a doctor and the Judge sald that he would have Dr. Wilkins, Dr, Wilkins, Jr, ar- rived and I went out of the office. Later we took the Judge to his hotel and when he got out of the car he was still swaying and staggering." Questioned further by the Crown, witness sald that the judge told him after the accident that he had had "a few drinks." . A defence of insulin shock was suggested by defence counsel when he asked Constable 'Taylor if he knew that Judge German was a diabetic. He asked the Constable if he knew the symptoms of insulin shock and the Constable sald that he did not, Constable Harold Pearse sald that he received a call to the accident and found the judge staggering at the scene. He put him in a car and sent him to the police station. In 1 > his opinion he was intoxicated, sald Constable Pearse, "Bunch of Vultures" "While Dr. Wilkins was examin- ing him in the police office, Judge German said to me 'you Tories are trying to make me lose"my job.' He thought I was a provincial constable and kept referring to me as one. He said 'you provinclals are a bunch of vultures.' The doctor ask- ed him what the date was and the judge went over to the wall and read something entirely different from the calendar," testified Qon- stable Pearse. Chief W. J. Carey said that the judge in his opinion was intoxicat- ed. He staggered, his eyes were glassy, face flushed and he was abusive in his language, the Chief testified, The case was adjourned at this stage until Wednesday morning at ten o'clock. Colborne Bridge (Continued from Page 1) a regular traffic bridge and it had been referred to the City Engineer. "I know full well that if we ever put a foot bridge across we'll never get a proper one," Ald, Dafoe de- clared, "But the people can still be using the foot bridge when the council is discussing it in 1050." Ald, Gay per- sisted, "Perhaps they will," Mayor Me- Callum remarked, A motion made by Ald, Gay to the effect that a foot bridge be con- structed as a temporary measure was lost, The discussion on the Colborne Street bridge brought forth a plea' from Ald. C. Harman for construc- tion of a proper bridge on Simcoe Street South near the lake, "Some morning you are going to wake up and find that bridge out," he warned the council, adding that $4,500 had been put in the budget for repairing the bridge and nothing had been done, The Board of Works chairman sald that this amount had been pro- vided in the budget and the matter had been referred to the former city engineer but he had not brought in a report. Ald, Harman charged, however, that Ald. Starr was "Just passing the buck." Mayor McCallum explained that engineers' advice had been that it would be a waste of money to re- pair the bridge and council had de- cided to wait until such time as it was possible to construct' a new bridge. He added that it had been thought that the new road to 'the | be pumping station proposed by the Public Utilities Commission might serve as an alternate route during construction of the bridge.
