A., Melnunis, Mayor of Timâ€" mins, presided, and in opening explain ed the purpose of the event. He thankâ€" ed those present for the liberal colâ€" lection and also took occasion to stow how further help could ‘be given. Clothing for the fire sufferers was still being gathered here by the Red Cross Society and any who could contribute along this line should do so. There were a number of refugees from the fire now in Timmins and~ the ‘Red Cross Society was doing all it could for these people and was. receiving for these people and was,. receiving generous coâ€"operation from the town generally. The Mayor publicly thankâ€" ed the Red Cross, the Board of Trade, the business men and all others who had shown so zenerous an attitude to ‘business men and Aill OUTINICTS wWiio had shown so generous an attitude to the fire sufferers in many ways. The Mayor also prged upon all the necessity of using their influence to have Haileybury reâ€"established as a thriving town. Unless this were done Haileybury would find it too great a burden to meet its heavy debenture debt and the whole financial credit of the North Land would ‘be seriously affected. ‘With the reâ€"building of the County buildings and other Governâ€" ment assistance, Haileybury could reâ€" establish itself to the Advantage of the North Land. It was an old town, a North Land eentre and an ideal reâ€" sidential site, and should not be alâ€" lowed to be erushed off the map. Every town and every citizen of the North Land should boost for the‘ fu)l reâ€"establishment of Haiteybury. The Mayor also urgedâ€"effort and co speration in having the bush menaces removed from the towns of the North Land. He pointed out that a mere fraction of the amount spent in relief measures would. make the communiâ€" ties of the North Land reasonably safe from the bush fire menace, if spent for preventative measures." In touching on the measures taken by Timmins for the protection of life and property from the menace of fire, the Mayor spoke in the highest terms of the efficiency of the Timmins Fire Briâ€" gade. Chief Borland and his men would handle any fires originating inâ€" side the municipality, but to guard against the danger of bu Government should act un tory adjacent to this towr to the south and southw good citizen should coâ€"opei this done.

Several routine byâ€"laws regarding the waterworks and sewers extensions were duly passed. Mr. Forrester appeared before the Council to ask on behalf of the rateâ€" payers in the sectton for a sidewalk on ‘Cedar street north of Sixth Ave., and also for further lighting on the end of the street. An extra street light has already ‘been ordered, and Council agreed to have a board walk put in on the west side of Cedar from Nixth Avenue to the boundary.

The Mayor referred to the fact that Mr. F. M. Wallingford intended to cut down the strip of bush he owns adjacent to the town. The Mayor pointed out that this would, be a good thing from the standpoint of removal of bush menace and also he thought it would be good business for the Town to contract to take its supply of wood from Mr. Wallingford.

A special meeting of the Timmins Board of Trade was held in the Counâ€" cil Chamber on Thursday evening last to deal with the question of the safety of : the town of Timtains from fire hazards, In view‘of the importance of the question the attendance was larger than usual forw Board of Trade meetings and those present took up the question at issue with energy and Deputation to Urge Early Removal of Bush Fire Menace The general feeling of the meeting was that Timmins had done its part to secure safety from fire for the town by supplying equipment, a good fireâ€" fighting foree and other preventative and protective measures, but© there was still the menace from outside. The adjoining townsites, some practically in touch with the bush, and the standâ€" ing bush at the south and southâ€"west were the particular menaces remainâ€" ing. â€" So far as the danger from adjoin ing townsites was concerned the exâ€" tension of fire hydrants, and, perhaps, annexation of them all to the town, appeared to be the surest remedy for danger in this line. The clearing of the bush was a question, however, that had to be taken up with the Governâ€" ment of the Province and now seemed the most opportune time to urge imâ€" mediate action. The general feeling was that the ‘bush should be cleared for a mile all around the community to give a fair protection. After a full discussion and consider ation, it was unanimously decided to have (Mr. Fred Hamilton, Chief Fire Ranger, make an inspection of the area, indicating the places where clear ing was necessary and estimating the approxiate cost of same. Then 4 deâ€" putation of threeâ€"one representative from the Board of Trade, one from the Town Council and one from the Hollinger Mineâ€"was decided upon to be sent to Toronto at the earliest posâ€" sible date to impress the matter on Premier Drury and.the Government. Mr. C. M,. Auer was, unanimously chosen as the Board of Trade repreâ€" Mr. C. M. Auer was, uns chosen as the Board of Tra sentative on this deputation Mr. F.C. H. Simms pointed out that in regard to fire hazards there were two sides to considerâ€"the outside and the inside. The inside had been well looked after by the town, but there was still the danger from unprotected was sTlll adjacent hazard. Mr. M. Auer showed that not only slash and ‘bush ‘but stumps and debris should be cleared a*ay to make full safety from the bush menace. If the ground were seeded down it would be so much the better. He suggested free seed or similar plan to encourage dairymen and others to make the clearingâ€"up of the greatest value. Mr. T. F. King explained that past experience proved that resolutions HOUSE IN MATTAGAMI / INJURED BY DYNAMITE +Thursday ¢ening last shortly after seven o‘clock a hurry eall was sent in to the local police. A house in Mattaâ€" gami had been dynamited, it was said, and police protection was much desirâ€" ed. f; was also stated that alonz with the dynamiting;there had been some gun work. Investigation showed that the dynamited house was one of the several small dwellings owned by Mr. Mareel Reard in Mattagami.â€" The place was occupied by two women whose story was to the effect that just before the explosion there had been a shot fired through one of the windows of the house. This was followed by the explosion, The women were so frightened that they had to be assistâ€" ed from the house. The police found evi (Yence of the bullet fired and also a basket containing dynamite and fuse. The basket was below one of the winâ€" dows. The chief damage done by the explosion was the breaking of winâ€" dows, The police have the case in hand, but up to the present there have been no arrests in connection with the shooting or explosion. 3. experience prove disputes, acd atively mint D Ua MINS BOARD OF TRADE INAUGURATES PLAN FOR BETTER SAFETY CF TOWHN. MEETING EMPHASIZES IDEA THAT PREâ€" VENTION IS BETTER THAN RELIEF. SITUATION TO BE PLACâ€" ED BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN, Â¥iIszton L T uesday and 6: inor matters. ywood presided ces and from xpl otf Hi in limm:ns cted sush WA P putati to tak to take the matter up direetly with the heads of the Government. i Dr. Mecelunis, the Mayor reviowed the work of the Committes of the Town Council in the matter. They had sent a strongly worded resolution to the Government, and he favoured Mr. King‘s idea of following this up with a deputation. The Government, as Mr. Auer had mentioned, had been urged to action for years, but up to date had expended only about four thousand dollars for preveptiun of bush hazard here while relief funds had totalled in the hundreds of thousands. With recent affairs to impress the lesson, he hoped the Government would now see its way to immediate and effective action. Mr. H. A. Proctor dwelt upon the seriousness of the situation. Unless something were done the insurance companies would not ibe likely to reâ€" nyiin and without insurance the busiâ€" ness man would be certainly in a bad way as few of them could finance with out insurance. He pointed out that the Government was paying any way,â€"â€" in relief funds, ete.,â€"â€"so why not have themh pay for preventative measures. Mr. F. M. Wallingford" explained that he was going to cut down and clear the strip of bush he owned them pay for preventaiive measures. Mr. F. M. Wallingford" explained that he was going to cut down and clear the strip of bush he owned near the town.â€" The other bush menaces he felt should also ‘be removâ€" ed and he thought this should be imâ€" pressed upon the Government and imâ€" mediate action sécured. Mr. G. 8. Drew suggested that the clearing might be facilitated if perâ€" mission were given the waeod dealers to cut wood on the, strips adjacent to the town. In diseussing the withdrawal of one or two companies from aceepting fire insurance here, it was pointed, out that though ~so far as actual dosses were concerned Timmins was a good insurance field still the companies had to consider the North Land as a whole and as such the field was not as good as it might be from the risk standâ€" point or from actual losses. The deputation are now securing data, etc., and it is expected they will zo to Toronto in the next few days. In addition to Mr. Auer, appointed by the Board of Trade, the Mayor, Dr. MelInnis, was appointed by the Town Council and the Hollinger is to apâ€" point the third member of the depuâ€" tation who will take the question up directly with the heads of the Governâ€" ment. Immediate and effective action is the watchword. Timmins has done its (best at much cost (but all well worth while) to minimize the fire danâ€" ger in the town. Every effort is now to he made to remove the outside danâ€" ger from bush hazard, and so to coâ€" operate with the Government, which is now surely alive to the situation, so that the town may be as free as posâ€" sible from fire danger and as good an insurance risk as possible. JOLLY OLDâ€"TIME HALLOWE‘EN BY CALEDONIANS PRIDAY Friday of this week the regular meeting of the Caledonian Society of Timmins in the 1.0.0.F.
