The plans will be presented to the Com- mission for its consideration. It will be remembered that last year's City Council granted blanket authority to the Commission to pro- ceed with the erection of greatly im- proved street lighting on King and Simcoe Streets, in the business sec- tion and also authority to proceed with the improvement program in the residential areas as money is available. It was agreed at that time that the Commission would foot the bill for the installation while the City would repay this ex- penditure through larger payments for each light. Prepare For Installation Mr. Shreve, manager of the Com- mission, last night said that plans are being pushed forward in prep- aration of the new installation in the business section. This work will include new ornamental standards, the removal of poles and the plac- ing of wiring underground. Asking the direction of the Com- mission in regard to further im- provements, he said that it would be possible to provide better lighting for other sections of thé city as time passes by using the present poles with better type equipment. At the suggestion of Mayor F. N. McCallum, the Commission decided that after the business section at- tention should be given to Simcoe Street South from the business sec- tion to the dual highway, and King Street East, from the business sec- tion to the city limits. This de- cision was reached as both these streets will be heavily travelled with the opening of the new highway. Plan Year's Work All members of the Commission were in agreement with Commis- sioner Willlam Boddy's suggestion that a plan should be drawn up at the beginning of each year of what it was planned to do during the year, These plans would be sub- mitted to City Council and in this way that body would be fully ac- quainted with what the Commission planned. Members of the Commission also favored the placing of .better light- , Bond and.

R. 1 North Oshawa, an employee of the firm. Hoping fervently for the recovery of the cash, Mrs, Branton said: was putting it by for a new sewing machine." Valuable papers, record books, surgical stitching needles and other equipment, estimated at $400, were in the safe, Mr. Dresser sald. "Just about everything," added an em- ployee dejectedly.
