feel assured cefi prosperous new The municipal election on Monday is probably the most momentous event in the history of the town. On its outcome depends the progress and prosperity of the community. During the past nine months the incompeâ€" tence, the illâ€"will and the absurd muddling of what is termed the ‘‘*new‘" council has placed Timmins in a most unenviable position.. The situation has been so absurd that it has been humorous, and so its seriousness has not perhaps, been fully realized. The town has been paying and must continue to pay to some extent for this illâ€"advised humour. There has been such a disorganization of affairs that business generally has been adversely affected. The town has been made to appear ridiculous in the eyes of the outside world. _ The position is such that it will take an able and careful mayor and council to remedy the situation in 1927 and assure a safe, sane, broadminded administration of public affairs in the interests of the people. The ceandiâ€" dates for seats at the council are practically all good men, and an efficient and fairminded and publicâ€"spirited council is assured. The town, however, ‘does appear to have very decided need for a strong, experienced, eapable man as mayor, and it would appear in the best interests of the municipality to elect Councillor E. L. Longmore as mayor for 1927 by a majority so large that the full confidence of the people will be ox’prossed. Every elector,â€" every man and every woman,â€"should vote in this clection for the advantage of Timmins. If the electo:r EVERY ELECTOR SHOULD VOTE ON MONDAY FOR THE INTERESTS OF THE TOWN. vrervbody is disposed to be e e e e e e e ie en e TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DEC. 30th, 1926 Thursday, Dec. 30th 1926 appy Canada Office 26 "GRAVEL AND SAND‘â€"AND PLACER Geo.

There goes his sense The municipal contest really centres in the election of a mayor this vyear. _ The two candidates should be judged on their municipal records. Contrast the efficient and helpful services of Councillor Longmore with the absurd muddle made by the present mayor. _ Then vote as your common The electors of the town of Timmins are particularly urged to disregard all lastâ€"minute propaganda and misrepresentation regarding municipal afâ€" fairs. The ‘‘new‘"‘ council was elected by a fluke last March simply through the diligent use of such propaganda and misrepresentation. The issue of this election is only this:â€"Is there to be another year of the incompetence, illâ€" will, bitterness and muddle that has made 1926 absurd, or will the electors redeem the town by electing an experienced, competent, broadminded man like E. L. Longmore for mayor, with a good council to support him? The Advance has every faith in the good judgment and loyalty to the best inâ€" terests of the town of the people of Timmins, and believes that the issue will be in no doubt, if the people guard against the innumerable deceptions attempted against them. The town surely kas had enough of wild promises and absurd muddling. The deficit planned now as a final touch of improâ€" priety for this taxâ€"less year will have to be met, and the general muddle achieved in municipal affairs will have to be remedied. To achieve this reâ€" sult an honest and efficient mayor and council are very imperative for 1927. The Advance can not believe that the people will allow themselves to be deceived by any of the side issues raised. The interests of the town are at stake, and everv elector should vote and vote right. | According to the soâ€"called Provincial Auditors‘ report, the public schools last year received $10,000.00 less than the levy made for public sehool purâ€" poses, and the separate school was paid over $2,000.00 more than the amount raised by the levy in their behalf. Accordingly, by the plan adopted by the ‘‘new‘‘ council of 1926, the public schools will receive $10,000 from the general fund, while the separate schools are charged with the excess amount received last year. In both cases extra burden is placed upon the separate school supporters. This method of handling the school funds accounts in part for the decrease in the rate for the public schools and the increase in the separate school levy. Vote! Vote one way or the other! Vote as your conscience dictates. But be sure that your conscience dictates for you to vote for ‘‘Happy"‘ Lonemore for Mavor for 1927. ‘*Mr. Dickson and his councillors might have done better had it not been for the obstructionist tactics of the other councillors,‘‘ is one gravel and sand type of suggestion. In answer to this, it is only necessary to point out that the present mayor and the ‘‘new council"‘‘ had a clear â€"majority, and were quite ready to use it in strong arm fashion any time they felt like it. They used their majority power to buy gravel and sand at $2285.00; to sell tanks at $50.00; to discharge the town engineer; to collect poll tax illegally; to purchase a motor cycle at $589.17; to disorganize the police department; to reduce the pay of the police; to impose a $4,500.00 expense for a soâ€"called Provincial audit; and for a seore of other absurd and harmful purposes. â€"If there was any delay or obstruction in the business of the town during the year, the Mayor and the three councillors with but a single thought must accept the.full responsibility. They held the power in their own hands. tion It was at a fashionable wedding K# 4 # K# K# One of the most popular forms of Christmas gifts in London, England, this year has been the giving of babies. The National Home Adoption Asâ€" sociation has been doing a thriving business in supplying babies for those adopting this unusual but singularly appropriate form of Christmas gift. The idea has assumed almost epidemic form in London this year. It is said to have commenced through the publicity given the case of a woman of middleâ€"age who walked excitedly into the offices of the National Home Adoption Association and said:â€"*‘‘I want the prettiest baby boy you have; I‘ve just had the idea of giving my husbhand one for a Christmas box. You see, he is fond of children, and we have never had one of our own.‘"‘ If this new Christmas eustom continues, the man in London with a Christmas adopted as a present, will' * ‘‘baby‘""‘ that adopts presents, and the ‘*baby‘ be cglad that Christmas comes but once a vear. An oldâ€"time resident of Timmins returned to town this week and was canvassed by one of the gravel and sand people in connection with the muniâ€" cipal election. The oldâ€"timer was told that though the town was in bad condition at present, this was altogether due to the obstructionist tacties of Councillor Longmore, who had held up the assessment, the tax rate and everything. ‘‘He must be a very bad man, then,""‘ said the oldâ€"timer. ‘* Worse than that,""‘ suggested the gravel and sand man. ‘‘And how many councillors are there?"" asked the oldâ€"timer. _ ‘*Six Councillors, and the Mayor,"" was the prompt reply. ‘‘Then, if "‘Happy" Longmore could hold up the six others all by himself,*‘ said the oldâ€"timer, ‘‘then T think he must be a very good man, and I am glad I eame home to vote for him." On Thursday evening, October 14th, 1926, Inspector Constable was murâ€" dered at Cochrane by a cowardly assassin. _ The Government should not forget this fact, nor the accompanying truth that the people of this North Land expect something to be done about it. One reader of The Advance last week after noting the advice to put ‘*Happy"‘ in the New Year for Timmins for 1927, commented :â€"â€"*For that the ratepayers Longmore than for anything else."" The famous, or otherwise, firm of ‘‘Dickson and Eplett®! was apparently dissolved this week. And now the silent partner of the firm (the term being used only in aâ€"comparative sense) is about to retire from municipal business. Newspapers contain a great deal that is not news. Recently the daily newspapers have been featuring a story about a fish being on exhibition at Knoxville, Tennessee, the said fish being so built that it could easily swallow a man like Jonah. What about it? There are fish on exhibition nearly everywhere who can swallow nearly. anyvthing. the fullest support and enthusiasm. The town of Timmins in the past has shown itself always ready to stand by good sport, win or lose. The hockey boys in each of the different leagues should remember this. They should also remember that they owe it to themselves, to the public and to sport, to keep themselves in the best of econdition, to train diligently, and in every way to maintain sport on the highest possible level. With the support of the public, and the support of the hockey boys, this will be the best season vet for hockevy.
