BRIEF SESSION OF GOUNGIL DEALS WITH MANY MATTERS Mr. Angus Campbell asked the counâ€" cil to construct a cement walk on Fifth avenue from Spruce to Tamarack street, south side. A petition for this walk had been put in to the council three years or so ago. As a taxâ€"payer for a large number of years, Mr. Campâ€" bell thought he was entitled to conâ€" sideration. In reply, Mayor Drew pointed out that the town this year was seeking to keep expenditures as low as possible. He also pointed out that the walk running along the side of Mr. Campbell‘s property, would come heavily on Mr. Campbell. It was figured out as adding nine or ten dolâ€" lars a year to the taxes on the proâ€" perty for the next fifteen years. *T wouldn‘t mind that," said Mr. Campâ€" bell, who thought the walk would be worth it. Mr. Campbell also pointed out that water drained from the street onto the lots, and that the sidewalk would prevent this flooding of lots. While not promising to construct the DOMINION STO The regular session of the town counâ€" cil on Monday afternoon wWas brief one but much business was dealt with in effective way. Mayor Geo. 8. Drew presided and Councillors A. G. Carâ€" son, H. Charlebois, R. Richardson, P. Dougall, Alfred Caron and C. P. Ramâ€" say were present. Mr. Patrick, of the Timmins Launâ€" dry Co., was present and addressed the council regarding what seemed like unfair ~competition in the laundry business. He pointed out that a numâ€" ber of people were doing laundry work and using a@ large amount of water, but not having meters in they did not pay extra for the water used the way the regular laundries had to do. He asked if some form of license could not be put on by the town to protect a regular laundry. There were such licenses for other lines of industry in town. Mayor Drew was not sure of the town‘s power to pass a byâ€"law in the case of a business like that of the laundry. In any event he thought it would be necessary to have a petition in the matter signed by a large proâ€" portion of those engaged in the busiâ€" ness before the town council could take action. With such a petition beâ€" fore them the mayor felt sure that the council would give the question the most careful consideration. Mr. Patâ€" rick thought there would be no diffiâ€" culty in securing the endorsation of the majority of those in laundry work as a regular business. The mayor asked if other towns or citiee had licenses for laundries, but Mr. Patrick did not know this. Councillor A. G.

Step Forward to Assure Future of the Forests Much routine business was dealt with, including the passing of ordinary accounts, payrolls, etc., authorizing reâ€" bates on water rates where water was not used on account of removal or other valid reason, and the authorizâ€" ing of payments on account to the pubâ€" lic, separate and high schools. Town Clerk Montgomery reported that he had received an offer from Mr. John Power to sell the town one quarâ€" ter of his lot at the river for $1000. The price was considered too high, and one of the councillors wondered if the lot was assessed as high as that. The town had considered the idea of buyâ€" ing part of the lot in question as the town sidewalk was on it and part of it might also be used to give the street more width. "Ontario is considering the passage of two new bills regarding its timber supplies, that promise to be forward steps in forestry conservation," says the Financial Post. "The chief intent of the bills is to provide for setting aside certain lands as forest reserves; to regulate the cutting of pulpwood so that the rate of use shall not exceed the annual growth in any area and to put the administration of the forests under the technical.men in the Departâ€" ment of Lands and Forests. In the past, companies cutting pulpwood and timber in Ontario have been responâ€" sible only to the revenue collecting offiâ€" cers of the lands and forests adminisâ€" tration; Ontario alone among the states or provinces of the Empire did not put its forestry administration under the forestry experts. This was because Onâ€" Town Engineer MacLean reported to the council that the telephone comâ€" pany would put in a phone to the inâ€" cinerator â€"for $40,00 per year. There were no phones out that far and it would require putting in of new poles, etec. The council thought the rate was high, and the matter was left to stand over. In reply to a question Engineer Macâ€" Lean said that the McIntyre had disâ€" continued carting refuse to the town dump. The mayor announcea that he inâ€" tended to go to Toronto this week on the business that the town had deputed him to take up with departments of the government. Councillor A. G. Carâ€" son was on motion appointed as acting mayor during the absence of Mayor Drew. _ Mrs. J. A. McInnis was appointed by council as a member of the public libâ€" rary board. It was decided to leave the matter of the striking of the rate for the year until after the return of the mayor from Toronto.

New Districts Bid Fair To Develop Mine Areas "The legislation is a forward step, but it will need to be supplemented by aggressive action along the lines of enforcement, regulation and adminisâ€" tration. If the new laws are purely a political gesture to curry favour in the forestry districts, then they might as well not be passed at all. But if the government sees to it that the new reâ€" gulationsâ€"if passedâ€"are enforced, Onâ€" tario will have taken a step that will further insure its forest future." tario was too prone to consider its forâ€" ests as a source of revenue rather than as a continuing asset to be conserved and protected. "The proposed legislation has met with some commendation and some opâ€" position. Most of the farsighted timber and pulpwood operators of the province favour the new plan, but some of those who are more interested in collecting today‘s income than in coâ€"operating with the province to insure the continuâ€" ance of the forest income are fighting it.

GAME PRESERVE MADE !K TEMAGAMI FOREST AREA Tract of 250 Square Miles Set Aside in Temagami Area for Wild Life, Announcement Made by Hon. Chas. McCrea. The announcement made last week by Hon. Chas. McCrea, in charge of the Fish and Game Dept. of the Onâ€" tario Government, that a game preâ€" serve of 250 square miles is to be esâ€" tablished in the Temagami Forest Reâ€" serve will be received with the very keenest interest and approval in the North Country. There is especial inâ€" terest in the announcement in view of the interview with Mr. Arthur Stevens, of Cochrane, as published elsewhere in this issue. When Mr. Stevens gave the interview he did not know of the proâ€" posal by Hon. Mr. McCrea, and Mr. Mcâ€" Crea was not aware of the suggestions of Mr. Stevens when the plans were made for the game preserve. The coâ€" incidence of the suggestion by Mr. Stevens and the announcement by Mr. McCrea may be set down as another of those cases where "great minds think along the same lines." The preserve will be bounded on the | east by the T. and N. O.; on the west by the Ferguson highway; on the south by the northerly limits of Notman Sstewart, and on the north by the southerly limits of the Temagami} townsite. The setting aside of this area, it was explained, commands itâ€" self to nature lovers,, conservationists, and business interests, particularly in the North Bay area. The preserve lies in the heart of a section of Ontario‘s great forest primeval, and as well as providing one of the most attractive haunts to the sightâ€"seer in the North Country, will afford a splendid haven for the propagation of game and wild life." "The government has had the quesâ€" tion of establishing a game preserve in this area under consideration for some time," Hon. Mr. McCrea stated, pointâ€" ing out that his attention had been drawn to current newspaper articles which cited the views of tourist resort keepers. "Arrangements have been made," he added, "to set apart a game preserve comprising an area of some 250 square miles." The following paragraphs appear in the March issue of the C. N. P. C. Reâ€" view, "published monthly in the inâ€" terests of the employees of the Canada Northern Power Cornoration":â€" Electric Sparks from Schumacher Subâ€"s It has been suggested that a pair of roller skates or ‘other methods of speedy locomotion might be. of use when, certain parties are wanted on the phone.

No wonder the Sturgeon phone cuts out with them using it. Some time back the operator told his assistant to look around as he smelled something burning. Upon investigation it was found that someone at Sandy was smoking one of those Christmas cigars while using the phone. Wonder what makes a person say, rightâ€"o when answering the phone.
