A letter was receivea trom the High school board asking the council‘s apâ€" proval of the purchase of a mechanical toker for the High School. Mayor Drew explained that the approval of the council was necessary for the expendiâ€" ture if it were to be covered by debenâ€"| tures: otherwise, it would need to be| paid for in the one year out of current revenue. The mechanical stoker would mean a very decided saving in the fuel bills for the High School. At first | Councillor Charlebois was inclined to' oppose any extra expenditure fO> school purposes if such could be avoidâ€" ad. The schools were already costing the town a lot and the council was seeking economy. When it was point-} eda out that the Mattagami school alâ€". ready had one of these mechanical stokers and it had saved several hunâ€" dred dollars in the past season in coal bills, Mr. Charl.ebois was willing to agree that the proposed mechanical stoker for the High School would pay for itself in about three years in the saving made and would accordingly be genuine economy. The necessary approval for the purchase of the stokâ€" \er was given. G. H.

Evendon, of the Timmins Salâ€". vation Army, was present and asked the council‘s permission for the holding of .a tag day in connection with the anâ€" | nual selfâ€"denial week held by the Army. The tag day would be on Tuesday, May 14th. Capt. Evendon explained that the greater part of the money would be spent in local relief and social serâ€" |vice work. The Army did much of this sort of work, and probably half of it was for transients who would otherwise have to seek relief from the town. Reference was made to the council‘s ruling against granting churches and lodges tag days to gather funds for ordinary purposes. _ Mayor Drew pointed out that the case of the Army was somewhat different, the Army doing such a large amount of charityp and relief work, and without being deâ€" nominational. Capt. Evendon said that permission for the annual tag day had never been refused so far as he knew in any town or city in Canada. The captain also referred to the relie: _and other soeial work carried on by the _â€"_â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"_â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"_â€"_â€"-â€"â€"-â€"â€"- Army in connection with the Army homes, prison work, relief and chariâ€" ty, etec. In reply to a question he said that the Army regularly helped perâ€" manent residents of Timmins who would otherwise be more or less charges on the town. "I know some actua« 0020000 _ ce on cases along that line" commented Maâ€" yor Drew. Referring to the number of collections made regularly by the Army as commented upon by one of the councillors, Capt. Evendon said that the present plan was to take up a collection inside the theatre door only once a week and not to take up colâ€" lections on any one street more than once during the week. The Saturday evening meetings, he pointed â€" out, practically touched upon different peoâ€" ple each time. Eventually, on motiorn of Councillors Ramsay and Caron permission was granted to the Army for the annual tag day. M. McChesney asked for a rebate of taxes on his building on Wilsen avenue, the store part being vacant for the year. He was asked to submit statement giving details of the vacanâ€" cy and the matter would be dealt with. Mr. McChesney also thought that he was entitled to some rebate on water rates for the same season. The counâ€" cil was not sure of the latter and the question was turned over to the waterâ€" works committee to see what could be done. Messrs A. G. Luxton, S. David andi J. T. Heffernan were present at the| council meeting in regard to the licenses for selling fireworks in town.! Mr. Luxton explained that in past years licenses had been secured from the town clerk, but this year they had‘ been told to see the council. If fireâ€" works were to be kept this year they would soon have to be ordered. Mayor Drew pointed out that some who‘ bought fireworks made a regular nuisâ€" ance of themselves by setting the fireâ€" crackers off on street. When Chief of Police L. McLauchlan was asked for his opinion in the matter, he suggestâ€" ed it might be a good thing to stop the sale of fireworks in town if that lay within the power of the council. "I don‘t know any good done by fireâ€"| works," he said, "or any particular useâ€" ' ful service they give. We had to proseâ€". cute a number of people last year for: annoying others with firecrackers. With the false fronts on some of the buildings in the main part of the town and the light construction of many of the buildings the settingâ€"off of fireâ€" crackers is a danger in this town." In addition the chief commented on the l annoyance to many through the smartâ€" |alec trick of throwing firecrackers beâ€" hind people on the walks just to see them jump when the explosion took place. â€" Councillor P. Dougall pointed out that the town council could not prevent people sending out of townhn for fireworks. In such a case the oniy thing accomplished by any restrictions that might be passed would be the loss of the business to the local merchants. Youngsters and others enjoyed fireâ€" works, he said, and he thought the loâ€" cal merchants should be allowed to sell them. He suggested that the merâ€" chants handling them should adverâ€" tise the fact that it was against the law to set them off on the main streets of the town. Council eventually deâ€" cided to allow th« issuing of the necesâ€" sary permits to those applying for the privilege of selling fireworks. Mr. Heffernan explained that the Dominâ€" ion law regulated the size, etc., of all fireworks, and the kind and quantity of the explosives they contained, this beâ€" ing done f{for the safeguarding of the public in the matter. Licenses to sell fireworks in wicwn this year may Dt obtained from the town clerk as in forâ€" mer years. * Considerable discussion resulted from the r:ading of a letter from the latter ‘ to the what c that he n water e counâ€" and the Bituminous Paving Co. regarding the reâ€"surfacing of the river road (Wilson avenue). Last year the council had deâ€" cided to have this work done when the Dome road was being similarly treatâ€" ed. When the work was being carriec on at South Porcupine last fall, howâ€" ever, the loose oil or tar had proved so great a nuisance and damage that merâ€" chants on Wilson avenue had asked the council not to have this work done. When asked about the condition of the river road J. D. Maclean, town enginâ€" eer, said it was in pretty good shaps and did not really need reâ€"surfacing this year. The road from here to thnce MciIntyre needed it much more. He thought the material used last year that had caused so much difficulty and iannoyance at South Porcupine had |too little aspnalt in it and so would not bind property but pulled up on lauto wheels, etec. Some of the counâ€" ;cillors thought the trouble last year | was due to the late time in the season at which the work was done. . The ! Bituminous Paving Co. said they would do the work when the Government was having similar work done here. It was !felt thatâ€"the Government would likely |leave the work again until too late in the season. The clerk was instructed ‘to reply to the letter of the Bituminous 'Paving Co,. saying that in view of the \ difficulty for merchants and others, as created by cthe work last year, that nothing be done about the reâ€"surfacâ€" ing of the river road this year. Mayor Drew suggested that matâ€" | £ ters might be expedited in the handlâ€"| 1 ing of the dog question if the services of Mr. N. Teillfer were added to asâ€" sist the police in the matter of pickâ€" ] ing up unlicensed dogs and dogs runâ€" j t ning at large in town. Mr. Teillfer‘t had the wagons and other necessary ;i appliances for the work and had done ‘ it in previous years. The police could assist Mr. Teillfer in rounding up the'! dogs. "The responsibility is on the| police," commented Councillor Ramâ€"| say. Councillor Dougall wanted â€" to |know how many dogs had been picked | up so far by the police, and when. told | there had been six, expressed the opinion that the police were putting difficulties in the way and were apâ€" parently not trying to remove the menace of the stray dogs at large in town. Councillor Dougall referred to seeing a group of no less than eleven dogs together in a main part of the town a morning or so previously. Maâ€" yor Drew said that the work had just been started, and Councillor Carson suggested that matters be allowed to proceed for a wee kto see how affairs would go on then. Mayor Drew reported the receipt :,;-t the town of a cheque from the bonding company for the shortage in accounts of a recent employee of the town. ‘The company asked that the town issue A warrant for the arrest of this former | employee, and it was decided that this would be done. ‘ in the mMaLtE the tourist C Mr. Baldwin, on which thi ing for the 1 vided it did or plans of tive of the c( win and com matter. Rebates w ties in the . had paid ta Rebates were authorized of penalâ€" ties in the case of some widows who had paid taxes that the town would otherwise have had difficulty in colâ€" lecting without serious hardship to the women concerned. Rebates were authorized for water rates in cases where the water had not been used on account of removal or other fair reason. some small balances of a few cents each on the books were authorized to be written off to facilitate bookkeepâ€" ing and auditing. A gentleman spoke to the council in regard to needed waterworks and sewâ€" er connections in the lower part of the town. Council said the matter would have due consideration, though the town was seeking to keep the extenâ€" sions to the minimum in the interests of economy. The council decided to hold a special meeting on Tuesday afternoon of this week, at 1 o‘clock, to decide on the waterworks and sewer exâ€" tensions to be done this year. | 4.A sc in nuisance created by men congregating in front of the poolroom at corner of Third avenue and Cedar street. The matter was a serious annoyance to the merchants nearby as well as an offence to the public. The loiterers blockeso traffic, made a practice of , spitting across the sidewalk, used bad languâ€" age, and otherwise were a nuisance. Mr. Dougall said his attention had been specially called to the matter last Saturday evening. He was inâ€" formed that complaint had been made several times to the police in the matâ€" ter. Chief of Police L. McLauchlan, when asked about the matter, said the police had been trying to keep the loitâ€" erers away from this corner. In doâ€" ing so, their most effective plan n1a* been to hit up the loiterers for the payment of their poll tax. Councillor Dougall said that on Saturday night two policemen had passed through the crowd at this particular corner without naying any apparent attention to the loiterors. Mayor Drew asked the police to keep a special eye on this particular corner with a view to a mitigation of the nuisance, f st camp again for thi: win, manager of the p1 _ the site is located wa he town to use it agair did not interfere witk of the mine.
