Council Meetings to Be on {/ Second and Fourth Thursdays A petition was received from the five plumbing firms in town, asking that the town license fee be reduced from $50.00 to $10.00 per year, and that licenses only be granted to masâ€" ter plumbers. Mr. Brazeau pointed out that most towns and cities now only charged $10.00 per year for I1â€" cense, and he thought it would be as well for Timmins to conform with the other â€" municipalities. _ Tisdale only charged $10.00 forâ€"the license. Some of the Council were not sure that the second part of the petition could be granted, as to restricting licenses to master plunbers only. Mr. Brazeau thought that in fairness to the public and to the plumbers who were tax payers everyone should not be allowed to do plumbing as a sideline. _ If 11â€" censes were to be granted to anybody, it would be better to leave the fee as it has been, so as to give the taxâ€" payers who maintained businesses here some measure of protection. Council decided to refer the matter to the Town Solicitor and take it up again at next meeting. The regular meeting of the Town Council was held last Thursday evenâ€" ing with the Mayor in the chair and all the councillors present, with the exception of Councillor J H. Bacon who is still visiting in England. The Council Chamber was again filled with spectators for the meeting. Mr. W. W. Orr tendered his resigâ€" nation as a member of the police force the resignation to take effect June 6th. The Council accepted the resignation, to take effect at once, salary to. be paid to May 19th. Mr. R. Bannino, asked for the right to construct a cement sidewalk in front of his store in Moneta, the work to be done at his own expense. Perâ€" mission had been granted for this by Will be Held in Evenings. Wednesday Halfâ€"Holiday Conâ€" firmed. Mr. R. Bannino to Open Roller Rink Here. Many Requests for Roads, Walks, Water, Etc.

The minutes of the previous regular meeting and of special meetings held were duly passed, as were also accounts and payrolls. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO/ The period between twentyâ€"five and thirty is the age when many men begin to feel their responsibilities. Then it is that they begin to sense the vital need of making some provision for old :ige; then it is they feel the necessity for providing for any ependent ones. . To such as these, a Confederation Life Endowment Policy is eminently satisfying. It insures two things : it fills the need of systematic saving and the immediate guarantee of a capital sum in the event of death. . The Coufederation Life Association gave him a fully paidâ€"up policy, â€" that is, one with no more premiums to pay, â€" for $3,588.00, thus increasing his insurance protection over 340%. He could have drawn the amount of his policy, plus the very liberal profits, in cash‘ in fact, he had a number options to choose from, but the above met his wishes com pletely. Full particulars and a definite illustration of a policy such as this will gladi be furnished on application. wl gIBGIHY Sometimes when the Endowment becomes payable, the need for immediate ayment of the money is past, but family necessitiecs require additional life insurance provision. A case in point:â€" A policyâ€"holder whose one tho;nsand dollar policy was payable in 1926 did not desire to draw the cash, but he did want increased insurance protection. CONFEDERATION LIFE Send for the mtmst pamphlet "No Matter W hat Happens." f be freely sent on request. Age of "First Responsibilities" last year‘s council, the work to be dane under the supervision of the town engineer, Mr. Bannino to be reâ€" funded 40 per cent. of the cost when the town is ready to build a sidewalk there. Present council confirmed the permission to Mr. Bannino., A letter was read from Mtr. Frank Desormeaux, caretaker at the town hall, saying that it was. his son who had asked for three month‘s pay for the time he had been off duty through illness. He himself would be satisâ€" ied with a month‘s salary and he would like to get the position back as soon as he was well enough to work again.. The Mayor thought that in view of the length of Mr. Desorâ€" meaux ‘s service to the town he might be given some consideration: Counâ€" cillor Drew endorsed this and referred to the long and faithful service of Mr. Desormeaux in the town employ. Council decided to grant him the month‘s salary. Mr. John Dalton, asked permission to instal a gasoline pump at his preâ€" mises on Third avenue for the conâ€" venience of the public, the installaâ€" tion to conform with all town byâ€"laws, Permission was granted, all liability to be on owner of tank. All delinquent taxâ€"payers are to take notice that all taxes in arrears must be paid by May 3lst. _ After that date the taxes in arrears will be handed over for collection and an adâ€" ditional penalty of five per cent will be added. Platus Lewis, wrote asking for the transfer of pedlar‘s license from M. Marimuch, who had moved from town, to his successor, P. Torgov. The transfer was agreed upon.. Mr. V. Woodbury wrote suggesting that the town instal a gasoline tank and pump for its own use. He showâ€" ed how in the purchase of gas for the police dept., fire department, works department, ete., the town could save materially by this plan and by purâ€" chasing gasoline in quantities. He quoted prices for the equipment sugâ€" vested. The matter was referred to committee to cheek up on. The Canadian Forestry Association asked for a $15.00 grant to assist in the carrying on of its good work. The question was left over until next meeting. A letter was read from Dr. and Mrs. A. P. Brennan thanking the council for sympathy shown in their recent bereavement through the death of their infant daughter, and for the floral tokens sent. A petition was received asking for the opening of Cedar street through to Moneta. A letter regarding an indigent in a Toronto hospital claiming to belong to Timmins was referred to Mr. 1. 6. Dunn, Inspector of Associated Chariâ€" ties, for investigation and report. Under Byâ€"law 308, Chief of Police Ernest Pascoe was duly appointed an officer for the enforcement of the Ontari@ Temperance Act. Byâ€"law 309, duly passed, formally appointed Ernest Pascoe as Chief of Police, Sanitary Inspector, Truant Officer, and inspector for all other purposes required by the town. Council changed the regular meetâ€" ing nights from the first and third ‘o the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. This, the Mayor said, would allow of a better clearing up of accounts and ,other business before the end of the month. The next reâ€" geular meeting will be on May 27th. The byâ€"law to borrow $22,000.00 on debentures to pay the town‘s share of the paving of Wilson avenue and part of Third avenue and Mountjoy street, was given its required readâ€" ings and finally passed. Mr. Jos. Theriault addressed the council on a bill charged against him by the waterworks department for water rates at his tailor shop. He said he did not use the water and had told Messrs Murtagh and MacLean of the town staff to shut the water off. The town engineer explained that the water came through Logan‘s Lunch and could not be shut off without shutting the water from Logan‘s. It was the part of Mr. Theriault, the engineer said, to have the tap taken out and the pipe sealed, not the work of the town. The matter was left over until Messrs Murtagh and Macâ€" Lean were heard from. An anonymous letter asking for the closing of all iee cream parlours on Sunday was regad. ‘‘Is there anyone here to speak in regard to this matâ€" ter?‘‘ the Mayor asked, and when there was _ response he added, ‘*Well, the matter then can not be dealt with."‘ On motion of Councills Drew and Eplett, authority was given for the purchase from V. M. Bowie Co. of eight uniforms for the firemen «and one for the Chief, the men to arrange for substitutes for their vacations. A resolution was passed asking the (Government to continue the highway from South Poreupine to Golden City this year, using the same road materiâ€" al as between South Poreupine and Timmins. "a Mr. R. Bannino asked permission to change the warehouse building, across the tracks from the station, into a roller rink. Counceil was quite agreeable, the only proviso being the securing of ‘the necessary building permit. Mr. A.â€"P. Dooley addressed the counceil on the suggestion made by that body that he give a ten per cent. discount on all accounts run in his store for charity cases paid ‘by the town. Mr. Dooley said he appreciatâ€" ed this business, but a.ten per cent. discount was too much to ask. He did not make that much on some of the goods sold. He gave the best value and service possible and would be pleased at any time to go into the question of costs and prices with the Council. Pressed by the Mayor, as to the best he eould do in the way of discount, Mr, Dooley said 5 per cent. The Couneil will check up on prices generally, the plan being to allow inâ€" digents to continue to purchase from the stores they have been dealing with, so long as prices are right. Town Engineer C. R. Murdock sugâ€" gested the value of a crossing over the T. N.O. from the highway to Fifth avenue. It would relieve traffic under the subway and be a great conâ€" venience. Referred to the Board of Works. There were many petitions and other requests for roads, sidewalks, water, ete. All were referred to the Board of Works. The Board of Works Committee and Town Enginâ€" eer were to make a survey of the town on Saturday to see what should hbe done and what could be done.

Five weeks in England, and back in time for the Toronto Exhibition. pairs were asked for Commercial street. Mr. F. M.. Wallingford exâ€" plained to council the bad condition of Gillies street. It was difficult to get over the road even with an empty wagon. It could be made. passable for $100.00 or so, and would accomâ€" modate many people, A petition from 95 per cent, of the ratepayoers asked for the water on Middleton avenue. Mr. Chas. Pletch asked for a surface water line on Eim street. Water and sidewalk were asked for Charles street. Attention was called to the lbad condition of Avenue Road â€"no sidewalk, no waterâ€"and pracâ€" tically impassable now. One petition asked for the cutting out of the rock at the foot of Fourth avenue; the contirtuation of Hollinger Lane to the river; and the charging of the name “Lane to a more appropriate term for a roadway of itssimportance. The ‘*whole works‘‘ was referred to the Board of Works. ! For the spectators, the discussion of the weekly halfâ€"holiday was probâ€" ably the most interesting part of the lengthy meeting. There was a petiâ€" tion beforeâ€"council asking that the weekly halfâ€"holiday this summer be changed to Thursday afternoon. This petition â€" was signed_by 43 names. There was a counter petition, with 247 signatures, asking that Wednesâ€" day remain the halfâ€"holiday. Mr. Essa spoke on behalf of the change to Thursday. Payâ€"day was now on Tuesday and., so Wednesday was a busy day. Thursday was a quiet day and so he thought it more suitâ€" able for the halfâ€"holiday. Many â€"peoâ€" ple got their cheques cashed Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and the stores missed money if they were closeqd Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Keddie, manager of the Holâ€" linger Stores, pointed out that the petition for Wednesday afternoon closing was the more generally favoured to judge by the fact that it represented so much greater volume of business and a much larger number of employees. Wednesday. was the day observed in South Poreupine and Iroquois Falls and so was the better day for Timmins. Wednesday was the most convenient day for all handâ€" ling fish, as the fish came in on Thursâ€" day, and if the halfâ€"holiday were on Thursday it would be necessary to keep two men on duty for the afterâ€" noon to Jook after the fish. Mrm Franrk B¢ck had signed the first petiâ€" tion but on thinking the matter over and consulting with his store manâ€" ager, Mr. Byck had asked Mr. Keddie to withdraw the name from the Thursâ€" day petition as he was in favour of Wednesday as the best day for the halfâ€"holiday. _ Mr. Keddie did not think that payâ€"day interfered at all with the advantage of Wednesday as the halfâ€"holiday. Mr. A. P. Dooley, who had signed the Thursday petiâ€" tion, said the fish matter made quite a difference and with fish coming in on Thursday that day would not be best for the halfâ€"holiday. Mr. Daher wanted to know if a man could stay behind the front door of his store on early closing days and let customers in the back way. ‘"If so,"‘ he said, not going fishing this summer‘‘ The Mayor assured him that early closing meant actual closing of stores and those attempting _ backâ€"door methods were liable to prosecution. The suggestion having been made that the petition for the Wednesday haltâ€" holiday was largely clerks and those other than merchants, Councillors Eplett, Brennan and Drew made a careful check of all the names on both lists. On the list for Wednesday one section, by itself, comprised the signatures of clerks, but there were 77 of stores, which was excluâ€" sive of barber shops, law offices, proâ€" fessional men, ete. The other petiâ€" tion had only 43 merchants siging. There were some on both lists, but this was explained by the suggestion that those signing the Thursday petiâ€" tion had only 43 merchants signing. all its bearings. In view of the apâ€" parent majority in favour of Wedâ€" nesday .as the halfâ€"holiday," Council decided that there could the no change in the byâ€"law, but that Wednesday should remain as the early closing day for the summer. wOn Thursday, May 6th, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Nohilly left Timmins for New York City. Many of their friends of the Irish Society were presâ€" ent at the station to bid them goodâ€" bye and to wish them the best that life can give in their new home. Aâ€" mone others present was_ President Patrick Fay, of the Irish Society who wished Mr. and Mrs. Nohilly health and wealth in their new counâ€" who wished Mr. health and wealth try. * 153
