Death came after only a few days‘ illâ€" ness and the eause of death was pneuâ€" monia, The deceased was about 69 vears of age at the time of death. Since his death, the police here ‘have been making every effort to locate the near relatives and friends of the deâ€" ceased, so that he might not ‘be buriâ€" ed am an indigent. It is understood that some members of the dead man‘s family reside in Cobalt, but efforts to get in touch with them have not met suecess so far. In the meantime the body is being held at the morgue here to allow opportunity for friends or reâ€" latives to claim it. . 2 MARTIN CRAWFORD PASSES 7 AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS as tue main town. ‘Adding new buildings erected this year in the adâ€" jacent townsites that are in reality a part of the community of Timmins, Timmins may safely elaim a building receord for 1912 of close to three quarters of a million dollars in value, Â¥â€"Negotiations with the Ontario Govâ€" ernment on the sutbject of hydroâ€" electric <power have now reached a point where it is not too hopeful to say that the Company will proceed at once with the development of sulficiâ€" ent electric power to amply provide for the needs of the big mine.

This will allow of the game being played before darkness comes, and is just what the boys have been looking for right along. *â€"The total value of the new buildings for which permits were issued by the Town Engineer during the month of July exceeded $71,000.00. . Many of these were for small residences and minor additions. July brought the total of building permits issued this year inside the municipal limits to $456,590.00. With a couple of good building months coming and some imâ€" portant structures understood to be definitely decided upon, it is quite probable that the total building perâ€" mits this year will eventually reach a total of over $600,000.00. _ They have already exceeded last vear‘s record.

The rate for public school purâ€" poses is two mills higher than last year and the rate for separate school purposes remains the same as in 1921. In view of the rapid growth here and the greatly increased demand for school accommodation the Separate School Board have done well to keep the rate as low as last year, while the Public School Board also seem to be entitled to commendation for managâ€" ing affairs so that material increase in the rate is not necessary, despite the very material increase in the teâ€" quirements. The Town Council atso are generally coming in for praise for the material reduction in the general rate. <(Such a reduction suggests care ful and clever management and should do. much to strengthen the standing of the Town in outside financial cireies. When tax rates are kept from soaring in a time of very general noteworthy expansion, it argues that public afâ€" fairs are being conducted with the richt economy and ecarefulness. * distfant as the Poreupine may be at a disadvantage. If Canadian coal from the west could be utilized or other means taken to supply the demand here, it would be well to get someâ€" thing moving soon. Now is the time to make plans and evolve a method for su;fl)lyiug the requirements. # Last week at a special meeting of the Town Council tax rate for the year was struck. The rate this year will be 38 mills forboth Separate and Public School supporters. Of this 38 mills, 16 mills is the rate for general purposes and 22 mills for sehool purâ€" poses. Last year the general rate was poses. Last year the general r 20 mills, while the separate rate was 22 mills and the public rate 20. This year the rate for al purposes is 9 mills less th vear..

Some of the members of the Band ‘had volunâ€" teered to further assist by paying their own expenses, while all were goâ€" ing on their own time. The other two representatives enlarged on Mr. Newâ€" ton‘s presentation of the case, pointâ€" ing out the value of a good ‘band to a town and ‘the special excellence of the Timmins Band. â€" From previous contests at the Exhibition in the class entered by Timmins Band, the Band here had a very good chance of winâ€" ning first place and a special chance of at least getting a second prize. Bands winning the contest in previous years had not exceelled the Timmins Band by any means. In any event, win or lose, the Band would do eredit to the town and would an excelâ€" lent advertisement for Timmins, well worth more than the cost. Reference was made td the good musice furnished the town during the past winter, the good open air concerts this summer, and the credit reflected on Timmins by the way the Band filled outside enâ€" gagements. It was also mentioned that the men in the Band gave very generâ€" ously of their services and were doing a lot to chelp things along. For insâ€" tance, at the recent Regatta ‘the serâ€" vices were all given free, many losing shifts but letting it go for the general good. Many members of the Board of Trade expressed their appreciation of the Band and there was a general desire to see them go to Toronto. The only difficulty was in financing the trip. Mr. D. B. Curtis thought a canâ€" vass of the business men would ‘be the only way, as the Board had no funds of its own and could not make an cretary reported regarding the petiâ€" tion relative to the paving of Pine street and Third Ave., All but two on the streets on occasions and Councillor of the paving, but none had been able to agree to take up the necessary deâ€" bentures or bonds for the cost. The question was accordingly dropped neâ€" Mr. L. 8. Newton, President of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band, explained the situation to the Board of Trade. The Timmins Band was an organizaâ€" tion that any town might be proud of. He believed that they would do eredit to the town at the National Exhibiâ€" tion in Toronto and the visit there of the Timmins Band would be a fine adâ€" vertisement for the Town of Timmins. He believed also that the Band deserv ed the heartiest support and coâ€"oper; tion pl the ])e()[)]e of the Town. P he Band had made arrangements to proâ€" vide miforms from funds already in vass of the business men would ‘be the only way, as the Board had no funds of its own and could not make an assessment. _ Volunteer subscriptions from those present showed this was practical, and it was eventually deâ€" cided that Messrs. D. B. Curtis and W. 8. Macpherson be appointed a com mittee to work with the Band comâ€" mittee to raise the required $600 or $700. The Board of Trade showed itself appreciative of ‘the Band and ready to coâ€"operate in every way. The committee referred to started on its canvass toâ€"day and at the time of goâ€" ing to press was meeting with very encouraging succeess, Other matters taken up by the Board of Trade included reference to the kind invitation of Mr. D.

This will allow practically a»fuil day at the Night Hawk area. Mr.0O‘Connor will take the party all over the area showâ€" ing them the Poreupine Peninsular and the other properties now being worked, as well as giving them a genâ€" eral trip around that will show them the country and its possibilities. Mr. O‘Connor is an enthusiast in regard to the Night Hawk area, and recent developments seem to fully jusâ€" tify his high opinion of the country. ‘"‘Just let the Night Hawk area hbe seen and known and interest will soon be centered in that section,"" says Mr. Will Visit Important Gold District As Guests of Mr. D.

All others present agr eed waith Mr. King, and an unanimous vote of thanks was passed to Mr. O ‘Connor, together with an acâ€" ceptance of his invitation. Mr. O "Conâ€" nor ‘had suggested Thursday of is week as the day for the visit, but t%’l Board of Trade felt this would no give sufficient time to arrange for a good representation from town for the trip. Accordingly the Board of Trade decided on Thursday of next week, Aug. 1l7th, as the day for the trip. Vice was duly Mr, past Mr. D. O‘Connor has tendered an invitation to the Timmins Board of Trade to make a tour of the Night Hawk Lake mining area, see the Penâ€" insular Mines and other properties there and get an idea of the promse of the area. The idea is for as many as possible of the business men of Timmins to visit the Night Hawk area and see the progress and promise of that part of the Poreupine for themâ€" selves. When the matter was brought before the Board of Trade meeting last night there was general appreciaâ€" tion expressed of the generous offer of hospitality by Mr. O ‘Connor. Mr. T. F,. King voiced the general feeling of the meeting very aptly when he emâ€" phasized the growing importance of the Night Hawk area and impressed the fact that Timmins business men should show a very keen interest in an area so near this town and one ‘that had such unusual promise of ‘developâ€" ing into a noteworthy mining field. Mr. King thought there should be a let the Night Hawk area hbe seen and known and interest will soon be centered in that section,""‘ says Mr. O ‘Connor. Mr. â€"O‘Connor is showing the strength of his faith in the Night Hawk area by his offer to take this party on a tour through the section.
