h is Auctraiiicnd wR C PR C Mr. John Kilgore askea the Council ifi t would consider the extension of the town water to the street below Elm, just outside the town limits. Mr. Kilgore suggested the installation a fire hydrant at the corner. He out that this would be of speâ€" : ‘clal advantage to the town from a fire protection viewpeint. When asked _for his opinion on this, Fire Chief Borland told the Council that such a hydrant would assuredly be of great benefit ana value from a fire protectâ€" / _ don ‘standpoint. Mr. Kilgore said _ _‘ that it was the fire protection that he _ chiefly desired, more than the water . for house use. <They would pay for _2\ the installation necessary, for the _ Aydrant, etc., and aiso would be willâ€" ‘ _ _ ing to pay a little higher rate for ~â€"_ water than the rate charged in town.

It was pointed out that the cireus was coming here in any event, ana it was on]y a matter of whether ‘Timmins shonld get an extra $50.00, or nothing, as if the cireus was refused permisâ€"| sion to show inside the town they eould go to Moneta or Mountjoy andi still draw all the crowds from t-he! town.© Councillorâ€" Newtan: thought that at this timsa when efforts were beâ€" ing made to deal with the high ('usfl of hvmg it was an inopportune time. for eireuses that caused.. so mncl\' spending of money.

He considers, however, that during recent years the policy of the Miners‘ Union has materially altered and empl(’nera who now deal with the Tanion find the results quite satisfacâ€" tory._ It is, therefore rather unflprt- unate, he says, that the Temiskaming Mine Managers‘ Association should judge the Union now by the policy of ten years ago. â€" Hon. Mr. Robertson geoes into details as to the progress of the trowble. On June 9th, the Miners‘ reprcS(mtati\'es brought the existing dispute to the attention of the Departâ€" ment‘ of Labor. An official of the Department visited Cobalt and had conferences with both sig@es but could not secure an agreement. The men, however, agreed not to strike until the Minister returned from the West. On July Ist, the Minister wrote both the men and the mines suggesting a éfl’ort to reach I ‘)‘.h the coynize emplove wh # ‘c, conference â€" and an agreement if possible. The men agreed to this, but the mines ‘refused. A delegation of the employers was then invited to Ottawa, but the presiâ€" dent of the Mine Managers declined this invitation. _ The representatives of the men were then informed that there was only ene other alternative laft within reach of tae Government, |which would be to appoint a Royal Tisdale Township Council, held at South Poreupine on Friday evening last, the chief item of business dealt with was the appointment of a new clerk and treasurer to fake the place of Mr. J.
