The regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday afterhoon with Mayor Geo. S. Drew in the chair and Councillor A. Caron, Dr. Honey, R. Richardson, J. T. Chenier, A. P. Dooâ€" ley and J. Morrison present. Council Asked to Protect Public in Matter of Taxis A petition was rceived from the taxi drivers in the town who are propertyâ€"| owners and taxpayers asking that the business and also the public interests be better safeguarded in the town reguâ€" lations for taxi licenses. The letter suggested that no licenses be granted for taxis except where the applicant had been a resident for at least six months, was a taxpayer holding proâ€" perty to the extent at least of $1,000.00 carried insurance to at least $1000.00 for damage, and $5,000.00 indemnity insurance. _ Regulations along these lines were in force in Sudbury, that' city also requiring new taxi drivers too! take out a transient traders‘ license at: $250.00. John Dalton spoke in favour of the suggestions. He said that anyâ€"| thing less was not fair to the people| of the town. Apart from the unfalrl competition to the men paying taxes| and being good citizens these transâ€". sients in the taxi business endangered the public and when accidents occurred | | they had nothing. Mr. Dalton t,hought it was the duty of the council to see . the public was protected. Mayor Drew? said the question would be easier to? handle if the other taxi drivers Would; join in the request. Mr. Dalton said that all remaining in the business were agreed. Some of the others had moved on or lost their cars for one reason or ano‘h>". The mayor thought the reâ€"| quests worthy cof consideration in the| interests of the town, and the matter| is to be further taken up at a subseâ€"| quent meeting. In the meantime, it was decided not to accept any appliâ€"| cations for renewal of licenses for taxis’ until the question comes again before the council. The letter also stated is’ A rebate was authorized in some cases of business tax, where stores had been closed part of the year. A letter was received from the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band referring to the recent reâ€"organizatio and asking for a renewal of the former grant. This letter was published in The Advance last week. The letter was laid over for convideraticn at next meeting. A young man in the audience, apparâ€" ently representing some of the unemâ€" ployed, asked the mayor if a letter had nct been received in regard to unemâ€" ployment. The mayor had received such letter, but as it was not signed, was unfair to give rebates on licenses for part of the year. Application was made by Chas. Pierce for a rebate in business tax for the 4ot corner Pine and Second where the miniature golf course was, as no business was carried on there now. The ocuncil granted a rebate for the time the Ict was not used. The â€"V.O.N. wrote thanking the counâ€" cil for the recent grant made. J. Paull suggested that he was being taxed too high for water service. There is to be a checkâ€"up made to adjust the matter if necessary. Another Letter and Another Deputation of Unemployed Before Mceeting of Town Council on Monday. One of the Unemployed Says:â€""I am Not a Returned Man and I‘m Glad of it" Other Questions Before Timmins Town Council. To Hold Purim Ball Wednesday, Feb. 24 With the date of the 1932 Purim Ball, definitely set for . Wednesday, Feb. 24th, st the McIntyre Recreation hall, the committee of the Timmins Hebrew Congregation in charge is preparing to make the event the year‘s greatest entert@ainment. The Choosing of "Queen Esther" in {Gireat Beauty Pageant. Valuable Prizes to Winner. Second Yearly Event Here. The selection of Queen Esther will, of course, be the attraction. The chosen Queen of the Purim Ball will in addition to the honours receive a beautiful crown which will be adomed with jewelry worth $50.00. Then again, the committee state that the old friends, "the Humentashen" will be there in abundance, as will be "Rebecca at the well."

Mr. Hodâ€" gins, who accompanied her to Toronto returned home last week, 2 Sections 16 Pages i* had not been taken up. The letter purported to come from the National Unemployed Workers‘ Association, Timmins branch. The letter requested a special meeting of council to deal with unemployment. The spokesman said that the men did not feel one meal per day was enough and they ailso azked a suitable place to sleep. They had to sleep now on the hard floor and they had no blankets. The young man said that none of the $20,000.00 paid by the government had gone to these unâ€" employed in town. He ailso suggested the meals supplied were not all that could be desired in some cases. Furâ€" ther he said some of them were being cut off. To this the mayor said that some tickets had been taken away beâ€" cause the men had been arrested for being drumk. If a man could get drunk it was reasonable to expect he could get food. The mayor also, mentioned that complaints about the food had been promptly investigated. Personâ€" ally, he thought the food was good. When some had objected to one cafe they had promptly been transferred to another. Married men with children were given first preference in work. Some of the men present did not really belong to Timmins; some of them hadn‘t even paid poll tax W§re. as in cother towns. He did not know any other town where returned men were not sure of a meal at least. "I am not returned man myself," he conâ€" cluded, ‘"and I am glad of it." Later, he suggested that the council try to secure the old Hollinger bunk house or the unemployed to sleep in, but the council did not consider any such plan, the mayor pointing out that the town was doing its best for its own people. An Englishâ€"speaking man said that individuals‘ should not be expected to feed the unemployed. "De you think | the town can afford toâ€"do â€"it?" he wa asked, and he answered to the effec that the responsibility rested on th Dominion Government. "Then, why don‘t you go to the Dominion governâ€" ment, instead of trying to worry us about it?" asked Councillor Richardâ€" son. The man replied that they wanâ€" ed the support of the council in the matter. He also complwutfivd reâ€". turned men were not as well used here D. Burnett asked for a rebate of six months in the business tax of his store on Fourth avenue, as he had disconâ€" tinued ‘business in June. The building had been occupied for three months by a bakery, and Mr. Burnett was granted the rebate for three months, with the suggestion that he collect the other three months from the bakery. Another spokesman said the number of unemployed was increasing. ‘"Where are they coming from?" asked Councilâ€" lcor Morrison. The mayor suggested the en still use the Finn Hall to sleep in, and effort would be made to get them socme blankets. Already the town had dcne all it could in the matter. Ccuncillor Richardson thought if men could send bales of clothing to Finland, as was done recently, they could surely afford to help their fellows here.

Mr. Boyce, the president, conducted the business part of the meeting, at the conclusion of which, Bert Waits, as convener of the citizenship committee took charge. Miss Bristow was the pianist. The feature of the evening was the showing of a set of lantern slides on "The Steel Industry in Canada," the connective reading being given by Rev. Mr. Summerell. Mrs. Bert Waite gave a paper on "The Higher Patriotism," showing that besides the patriotism that prompts a man to fight and die on the battleflield for his country, there is also a patrioâ€" tism that urges him to live daily and hourly for his country‘s good.

On very short notice Mr. Macâ€" kie took the place of chairman instead of Dr. J. A. McInnis who was called out of town and was unable to be presâ€" ent as expected. Mr. Mackie proved an ideal chairman for the occasion. The concert opsned with "O, Canâ€" ada," by the band, followed by a march "Ocean Star." Other numbers by the band included:â€"‘"Patrol," "Wee Macâ€" Gregor." ‘Comradss in Arms," ‘"Royal Duke Ma.rch " There were also two very plea,smp cornet duets by band members, with band accompaniments.
