Louis NeVille, under the auspices of the 1.O.D.E. This musical comedy is said to promise to be the biggest and best event of its kindâ€"ever shown in ‘the North Land. . â€" s Y, MAY 16th, 1923. some of rrune * IESernTON LOGATION Resolution Passed Offering Coâ€"opera ~‘ tion In Securing Suitable Site «*The chief topic of discussion at the regular monthly meeting of the Timâ€" mins Board of Trade on Monday evenâ€" ing was the question of a site for the Fesserton Lumber Company here. For some years past the Town and the Fesserton people have been ednfermng as to the location of the company‘s proposed mills at this point. â€" On three or four. occasions the Town drafted an agreement, but the comâ€" pany would find some changes that. were desired. Last fall an agreement‘ appeared to be reached that was satisâ€" factory to both parties, but the agreeâ€" ment was not signed nor formally com pleted. Thig agreement would proâ€" vide for giving the company part of the land owned by the Town adjdin- in# the Town ‘ w aterworks . Apumping station. At the time this agreement was considered satisfactory, the Town had the idea of moving the pumping plant across the creek to a new site. In the meantime, by a byâ€"law approvâ€" ed by the ratepayers, the Hollinger took over the water supply system of the town, constructing new mains and providing ample water supply for fire protection and other purposes. â€" The Hollinger does not believe it would be safe policw to menace the source of the town‘s water supply by havmg a lumber yard and mill so close. Last week Mr. Carter, President of the Fesserton Company, came to town with a view fo having the agreement completed, so that the work could be started for the construction of the mills, â€" A"request was made to the Council by Mr. D. Ostrosser and ‘others not to dispose of the question until it had been discussed at the Board of Trade meeting, Following this came Monday night‘s discussion. â€" Councillor L. S. Newton said that if he felt there were any menace to the town water system would be strenuous in opposition, but the reâ€" port from the Under \\nters and others seemed to ‘be encouraging. He emphasized the value of.the lumbering industry to the town and dxstrlct, pointing out how it had helped out in the lean years of the war Mr. C.~G. Williams thought a lumâ€" ber mill, lumber piles, etc., right at the source of the water supply of the town .would be a ~decided â€" menace. "Remember,‘‘ he said, ‘"‘if your waâ€" ter plant goes, your town goes.‘‘ The danger to the plant from fire would seem to be very material indeed, He also referred to the great danger from smoke as evidenced in 1916 here. To make assurance doubly sure agamst danger of fire, the Hollinger was spending $15,000 to $20,000 eitra for fire proof buildings at the plant. ‘Mr, Carter, President of the Fesserâ€" ton Co., outlined the history of the agreements. He said the purpose of the company was to spend $100.000.00 at the property, and erect planing mill sash and door factory, lath mill, etc. There would be 200 to 300 men emâ€" ployed in the woods, and 100 to 125 at the plant. The work of construeâ€" tion wo‘uld ‘be started at once. He minimized the danger of fire, referring to Sarnia, Midland, Owen Sound and other places as towns having lumber industries right in their centres. ‘The industry would be a big thing for the town in many ways, giving employâ€" ment and having a big payroll. He was sorry that oppositgn had develop ed against the coming of the industry to town. _ * Mr. Williams pointed out that there was no opposition to the coming of the industry, but only to locating it on the pumphouse grounds. ‘‘In the next year it is likely that the Hollinger will be employing: 2400. more men, so the Town‘s difticulty will not be to attract population, but to provide acâ€" commodation for those here. Where will the men go?"‘ asked Mr. Wilâ€" Mr. D. Ostrosser emphasized the adâ€" vantages of such an industry as the Fessertons to the merchants of the town and the town generally,.. He also mentioned the lease given to Mr. Pierce and transferred to the Fesserâ€" ton people for the use of land near the pump house as a piling ground. Mr. Ostrosser did not think the Fesâ€" serton plant would menace the water supply. He said the Fesserton‘s would have too nmuch invested to alâ€" low it to burn up. They would take special measures against fire, and so the plant might really be the means of saving the town. He thought the industry â€"would ‘be a greater menace liams. .

Newton, J. E. Sullivan, and J. E. Morin present, chief item of business: dealt with was the proposed changes in the Town Building byâ€"law. â€" Mr. Murdock, Towna Engineer, read and explamed the draftâ€"of the provisions of the new by-law as suggested ‘by him for the safety and benefit of the town ‘generally. Under the proposed changes the fire limits will be extended one ‘block, running from 2nd to 4th aveâ€" nues and from Spruce to Balsam street. In this area only solid ‘consâ€" truction, bnck tile or concrete, on concrete foundatxons, will be allowed for new buildings. Further restricâ€" tions for the pubhc safety will also be made in regard to new buildings on 3rd. Avenue and Wilson Avenue. Wood shingle roofs are not to be perâ€" mitted for new buildings under the byâ€"lawâ€" anywhere in the town.=> The Suolicitor was instructed to draft‘ the required byâ€"law from the suggestions of the Engineer, the byâ€"law to be conâ€" sidered and passed at a special meetâ€" ing of the Council on Friday of thls week Byâ€"laws were duly passed :â€"apâ€" pmntmo' ‘Mr, C.

In case of fire the old fire .team is to be taken to the fire hall and there to remain under orders of the Fire Chief so long as reqauired. Mr. J.W. Faithful, secretary of the Timmins A.A.A., appeared before Council asking as to the disposition of the grant passed last year by Couneil for the assistance of the Grounds Com mittee in putting a roof on the grand stands at the grounds. Mr. Faithful suggested the value to the townâ€"of the athletic grounds, emphasizing the fact that it was the playground also of the children who had no other park or playground. The youngsters ,caused considerable damage at times and so made finances the more necessary to the Committee. The Mayor said the grant had been withâ€"held because it was not clear it could ‘be legally‘given. The Solicitor was not clear as to the legal aspects of the case, but promisâ€" ed to look it up. Council agreed that the grant should be given at once if 1t were legally payable. o Mr. W. Ellies, who had started some extensions, to his property on Pine street, was granted permit to contiâ€" nue on consideration that the requireâ€" ments of the building byâ€"law were obâ€" served. Mr, Ellies was quite ready to live up to the byâ€"law, and explained that ‘he had neglected securing the permit in the first place before startâ€" ing operations or letting the contract because had mxsunderstood the matter. On motion of Councillors Longmore and Wallingford, water will be provid ed for the new separate school just outside the town limits,.the school to make the required connections. _ Councillor Sullivan enquired. as to whether Cochrane people were in need of help and if the Town were planning to do anything. < The Mayor replied that when he had communicated with the Mayor of Cochrane he had been told that no help was needed then, exâ€" cept in the way of nurses. The Onâ€" tario Red Cross had now taken over the wlole situnation and were looking after Cochrane‘s needs. The Town Solicitor informed Counâ€" cil that the Town had authority to provide for the clearing up of vacant lots. Those neglectini® to clean up vaâ€" cant lotsunder .a byâ€"law in the matâ€" ter, could be fined and the Town could proceed to have the lots cleaned up and the cost assessed against the proâ€" perty. . ‘Mr. 8.
