The regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday afternoon with Councillors R. Richardson, C.}P. Ramsay, A. G. Carson and Alfred Carâ€" on present. On motion, Councillor Richardson was elected to preside at the meeting the mayor being away On his annual vacation. w Petitioners Think May be E@s1cT Pay Taxes in Another Month Other Matters Before Town Council at Regular Meeting on Monday. Lfi un 2 t ds mc t im Oone of the interesting items before the council was a petition signed by forty or more business men suggesting that the collection of the second half of the taxes this year, or rather the penalty on the second half year‘s taxes be held off for another month. In speaking in support of the petition D. Ostrosser said that the business men had not had a very good season on aCâ€" count of the weather and other condiâ€" tions and it was felt that if an extra month was granted for the paying of the second half of the taxes it would help many and make the payment easiâ€" er for all. He thought that many who could not pay for a month or more, ana who would also have to pay the penâ€" alty in suth a case unless the council granted the pretition, would naturally hold off their payments to the last posâ€" sible minute. Accordingly a postponeâ€" ASK GOUNGIL TO POSTPONE COLLECTIEN OF PENALTY ullw:llla N# A hotedadisad $ tm V C in the matter was now in the hands of the bank and was the basis upon which the town received loans to carry on unâ€" til taxes came in. By such a plan as proposed by the petition the town would nhave to pay more in interest charges. However, the council woud look further into the matter and perhaps take it up with the town solicitor, though ‘he doubted if anything could be done this year. Mr. Ostrosser thought it might helyp to have the paying of taxes spread over four payments, instead of two. "That is worth considering," said the acting mayor, "but it would be a auesâ€" tion for next year‘s council to consider." The acting mayor pointed out in reply to a question from Mr. Frank Byck that :‘ fem; days of grace were always allowâ€" ed and the same plan would no doubt be followed this year. A resident of Montgomery avenue wrote in regard to the granting of the petition duly signed and sent to counâ€" cil for the extending of water service to the locality. While paying taxes for some years, the residents of Montgomâ€" ery avenue were without the use of town water and so were badly handicapped from the health, sanitation and fire protection standpoints. The letter askâ€" ed the council to reconsider the matter so that the people of this plart of Montâ€" gomery avenue should have a fair show. The matter was referred to the waterâ€" works committee. L.'mn'ooo' n se e e «lt J. E. Gurnell, viceâ€"president, and P A. Skelly, one of the directors, were present at the council and asked for a grant for the Timmins Horticulturat Society, which was of considerable benefit to the town. On motion the same grant as given last year, $75.00, was made to the society. A request was made to the council to finish the short piece of sidewalk at the south end of Birch street. The matter was referred to the board of works committee. A number of charges for water frontâ€" age tax were written off, the properâ€" ties in question paying water rates and so not being liable for the frontage rates. ‘To simplify the bookkeeping and auâ€" diting a number of small outstanding balances of 1 cent and 2 cents were written off the books. ‘The amended waterworks byâ€"law was given its required three readings and duly passed. one ratepayer was granted a rebate of half his taxes for income for the year, having been married some months ago and so would be a householder for six months of the year. A citizen who had used a peddler‘s license for only four days was granted rebate of $90.00. Council felt that some pant of the license fee paid should be retained. There had been a numâ€" ber of similar applications for this sort of refund and it was desired to discourâ€" age them. In this particular case the man had been warned that he would not be able to make a success of his plan. In another case of a business tax "”“""""""‘ PAID CIRCULATION LAST W EEK 2963 2 Sections â€" 16 Pages a rebate of $29.50 was granted. the man taxed having been out of business for some months. Miss Farr, town nurse, was granted a month‘s salary in lieu of holidays not taken this year, and the clerk was also instructed to write a letter to Miss Farr expressing the council‘s appreciation of the excellent services she has given the town as town nurse here. Dr. Honey brought to the attention be Exsier to All arrangements have been perfectâ€" ed for the sixth annual exhibition of flowers and vegetables under the ausâ€" pices of the Timmins Horticultural Ssociety at the Curling Rink on Monâ€" day next, Labour Day, Sept. Ist. Thas prize lists issued some days ago show that all classes of flowers and vegetables have been remembered, with a good advancement of horticulture in this district. In past years there has been a remarkable display here of flowers and vegetables. This year the exhibit: should outdistance all previous shoyj. While all who can do so should 2xâ€" hibit any good items they ma.y/,have, the people in general should show their support by turning out in large numâ€" beors on Monday. The exhibition is certainly Wweéel worlth a visit. There is no admission fee and so the attendance chsuld be a record one. list of prizea A copy of the prize lis} may be obtained from the secretary, A. Parker, Box 933, Timmins, or from any of the other officers or members of the committees. 1t is confidently expected that the flower and vegetable show this year will be bigger and better than ever beâ€" fore. There are more good gardens in town this year than ever before and interest in horticultural matters has baen maintained and increased. There was evidence of this 1 week when there were about twentyâ€"five entries in the garden competition carried on by the society for the encouraging O0? rcod lawns, gardens and flower beds. Even at that, there were many gardens in town that were not entered, though they were of superior excellence. That chsuld not hapipen in the regular show rext week. Anyone with good flowers or vegetables should enter them. 1i they win prizes, well and good; and if not, they assist in making the show so much bigger and better. The showâ€" ing here each year of flowers and vegeâ€" tables is a revelation to most psople, and especially outsiders, so all should help to make the show as complete as possible. As nofted before there are lois of good prizes, but the idea, of course, should not be prizeâ€"winning, but the benefit of the town and the EXPECT FINE DISPLAY OF FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES Sixth Annual Exhibition Sad Death on Monday of Mrs. Dellaâ€"Vedova On Monday morning at an early hour the body of Mrs. A. Della Vedova, wife of a miner employed for several years at the Hollinger, and residing on Cedar street, south, was recovered from the Mattagami river near one of the mills where it had come up among the logs. The husband reported to the auâ€" thorities that his wife who was not in the best of health and had been deâ€" spondent for some days was missing from home since about 5 am. The police at once started a search and her movements being traced to the river, dragging operations were at once instituted. The work was directed by the provincial police and the recovery of the body was made in a short time. It was decided that an inquest was no: necessary, the cause of death being evident. The late Mrs. Della Vedov@ had been ill for some time and had at tacks of despondency. She was 42 years of age and is survived by a husâ€" band and four children to whom the symmaithy of all will be extended in their sad loss.

He thought if the town had any such work the young man in question might be given preference.

The playing of Vierra‘s Hawaiian orchestra was a special feature of the evening, while solos by R. Lowry, of Timmips, also delighted all. The Vierra orchestra was one of the big features of tne Chautauqua here and the services of this talented group of musicians added much to the great success and enjoyâ€" ment of the social affair in honour of the visitors. On Sunday morning there were about thirty automobiles at the station ready to take the visitors on a tour of the mines and the town and other centres of interest in the district. This part of the programme was under the ausâ€" pices of the Kiwanis Club and was much appreciated by the visitors. ‘The Hollinger, McIntyre, Dome, Vipond and of the Canadian Medical Association.

They must cary lights at night, with reflecâ€" tors on the back of their bicycles. Some of them have been disregarding these requirements and there have been some narrow escapes from serious acâ€" cidents reported. In the interests of public safety the police are going to enforce the law in regard to the use of bicycles and accordingly all using bicyâ€" cles should take notice and provide themselves with the necessary equipâ€" ment to fill the requirements of the law. Those who do not will find themâ€" selves in court, with penalties and costs likely and the equirment still necesâ€" sary. The police have endeavoured to allow as much latitude as possible in the matter but it is felt now that the law must be very strictly enforced for the protection of the public and the bicyclists alike. Those using bicycles should take this tip and save themâ€" selves time, trouble, annoyance and exâ€" pense. Bicyclists should see that they have the proper lights and reflectors and so without unnecessary cost to themselves coâ€"operate with the police in the fulfilling of the rules and regulaâ€" tions necessary for the general safety.

EXGELLENT PROGRAMMES AT GANADIAN CHAUTAUQUA Last week The Advance made referâ€" ence to the excellent programmes given at the Canadian Chautauqua here on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and evening. The comedy, "Broken Dishes" by the Martin Erwin Players was an excellent offering in every way. The lecture by Dr. Owen O‘Neill on "Adâ€" ventures :m Swaziland" was most inâ€" teresting and informative and give with rare e:oquence. The concert by the Metropolitan Artists was a genuine musical treat, while the original musiâ€" cal spectacle by the Light Opera Festiâ€" val Company was one of the most apâ€" preciated of the many excellent numâ€" bers on this Chautauqua programme.
