South Porcupine. Nov. 26th, 1930 Special to The Advance. (I. V. GAllABHER RE-HEBIED REEVE USDAlE IUWNSHIP Messrs Eugenio Caldarelli and Bin- otte Benvenuto, of the Dome Mines, are leaving from Montreal on the “Dor- ic” on Friday, November 28th, for Itazy. On Friday last nominations for reeve and councillors for the township of Tis- dale took place at the council chambers. The present reeve, C. V. Gallagher, was re-elected by acclamation. Nine coun- cillors-elect were nominated. Of these eight qualified for election. Mr. H. M. Wilson declined to run for election, feeling that he was doing his bit on the fire department. F. Laforest and W. Fairhurst, of South Porcupine; Messrs Williams, Hawkins and Kerr, of Schu- macher of the present council, and1 Messrs W. R. Sullivan, S. P. O’Hara and , F. Dwyer also of Schumacher are stand- ing for election. In the after meeting F. G. Evans acted as chairman, calling first on the present reeve and council- lors to speak. Reeve Gallagher review- ed the year’s work telling how expendi- ture had been curtailed consistent with keeping township prOperty, roads or streets, in fair or good condition. He spoke of more work being done this fall to give employment to those out of :work. He thanked all for his re-nom- Lination. Councillor Kerr stated, when tealled, that this was the seventh ocâ€" casion on which he had followed the reeve in speaking at a like meeting. He said that while the council going lout had not agreed on everything yet 'each and all were out for the best in- terests of the township. F. Lafores: thanked his supporters for their past support and for his re-nomination. Mr. Hawkins thanked his supporters and stated that while there had been {criticism at. the west end of the town- ship he felt it was not justified and he 'doubted if over another council be got Itcgether that would give as much of their individual time and energy to the work of the township as the present council had. Councillor Williams stated that he felt sure that compared with older municipalities our chanity cases were not nearly so numerous. In ad- dition to mentioning street and road re- pair. He also drew attention to the good police supervision of the township women and children being safe on the streets night or day. Mr. S. Kennedy at the close of these speeches, injected some real spice into the meeting by his peppery attack on the delayed tax sale of properties for unpaid taxes. Reeve Gallagher replied that in the best in- terests of the township it was not al- ways feasible to go to the expense of a tax sale where just a few were involved and that if these people were in a posi- tion to pay anything toward redeeming a property if sold for taxes at end of three years that such moneys would readily be applied on the taxes without the formality of a sale. There was tOs much danger of properties going to so- called “dummy” bidders for the owners, and the real object of the sale so far as the townships welfare as a whole, would be forfeited. Messrs Fairhurst and O'Hara, of the councillors nomin- ated were not present having been call- ed away before their opportunity to speak. Mr. Dwyer said he was there It was surely the twilight hour, when Tlsdale township council held their re- gular meeting on Monday evening. Clerk not to criticize past councillors but to stand for election if the people felt it fair that he do so. Mr. W. R. Sullivan complimented Mr. Kennedy on bringing his grievance right to the porper place for enlightenment and not voicing it on the street as is so often the case with the rate-payers. He thanked his nom- inatcrs, promising to do his best if elect- ina ed. Evans having just nicely got started at? the minutes when the lights went out. A lamp was secured until they were in working order again. The reeve and all the councillors were present, Councillor Laforest remarking what a fine looking bunch they wereâ€"in the dark. Cor- respondence was read re the securing of a portion of the unemployment reliei fund from the Federal Government. Although $12,300 was asked, owing to the many applications only $8000 was granted. The township must put an- other $8000 of its own funds with that to secure the grant and it may be divid- ed among the public works specified in the letter to the Dominion Govern- ment vizzâ€"g'rading streets in Moneta and South Porcupine, cutting rock in .the streets of Schumacher where neces- isary, and the clearing of ten acres at the township garbage disposal plot. Several cases were up for the court of revision re taxes. The fact that the report was going that the roads might not be ploughed was discussed and it was again decided to plough the roads in winter as heretofore, the snow- plough now being got into shape for any emergency. A light for Smith street, South Porcupine, and two for Schu- macher were ordered installed. Gravel to make Dome street more passable was ordered so that residents there would ,not be compelled to use the railway tracks in the wet weather. Further correspondence with Mr. Y. Ellis, secre- tary Unemployment Relief Fund, re the portion of excess charity that will be ,paid each month by Dominion funds. 'was ordered. In reply to some criti- icism that favouritism had been shown re the hiring of teams for township work. it was replied to by reporting the amount given the various team lowners during the term from January [to November 15th. Some rate payers {have more than one team, while others {have other business that at times aflects the chance of getting their team right when required. Only 220 days in all, a small number, compared with former years, was given and it was distributed thuszâ€"W.
