New Taxi By-law Passed. Other Business at Council Meeting. At the regular meeting of the town comm on Monday afternoon Mayor Geo. 8. Drew was in the chair and Cmmcillors A. Caron. R. Richardson. Dr. S. L. Honey, J. T. Chenier, A. P. DOME); and J. Morrison were prwent. . A man who was threatened with eviction from his house on account of owing $10.00 rent asked council for help. W'hne the council cannot assume any burdens of back rent the cantin- gencim cammi-ttee agreed to look into the case and see if the landlcrd would not wait a week or two until the man went to work on town relief w:rk. There were sever-3.1 representuives C‘f the proposed “Hunger March" planned to interview Premier Bennett allegedly on behalf of the unemployed. All but two of those present in this commotion seemed to be foreigners. It was these two who spoke to the council. The one man said he was a. Canadian-hem citizen and he read the “demands“ or requests that were to be presented to Premier Bennett by the “Dominion Hunger Members" some time early in March. These requests were as fol- A gentleman enquired of council as to the chances for sewers and water- works for the section between Eighth and Ninth avenues. There were sec- tions there where the sewers would cost boo much on account of dead ends and where the returns from water service wwld not. justify its installaticn. The waterworks committee. however, would look into the case in question. l. Enactment of an-Cantributary S‘ate Unemployment Insurance. 2.

The speaker said that this pragmnme had been wanted to Premier Henry andhehadsaddlmwasin favourof unemployed insurance. A number of town councils. the man said. had en- dorsed the programme. The mayor of Windsor has given $20.00 and conn- cillors of that city had also contributed towards the expenses of the trip to Ottawa. It was booed to send two delegates from Timmins. Mayor Drew said that unemployment insurance was up for consideration by the Government and the matter could be dealt with probably better Without advice from the council or others. The reports d': :1 net ind cate that unemploy- ment insurance had worked very satis- factorily in other countries He did not think that there was any justification for the latter sections of the pro- gramme read. The mayor said he had read section 98 and it did not interfere with any law-abiding citizen, but only those who tried to cause trouble and disorder. He did not see why anyone Waskformerepealofthesec- tbnunlem they wishedtobefreeto work mischief. The same applied to the reference to deportatian. He did not think the unemployed were asking these things but that certain organiza- tions were using the unemployed as a but this was a diflerent thing alto- nether. Vol. XVII. No. 8 The man assuming to speak fer the unemployed said that 90 per cent. of those represented by the delegation meeting Premier Henry last week were Canadian-ham or from the British Isles, which caused smila from others in the cmmcu room. ‘ I". C. Robinson 3190 elected himself to speak for the unemployed. He ad- mitted that. Premier Henry was not. in favour of non-omtflbubory unem~ plcyed insurance. but. suggested that the workers could not. contribute. “I have come to the opinion that there are two curses o! {crawl-s." he said. Paid Circulation Last Wank 3493 I The mystery broadcasting station, "'“BUNK.” that created so much merriâ€" ment on Sunday. Feb. 14th was again ception was very good in town. The iannouncer said that The Advance was in error in suggesting that “BUNK.” nvas broadcasted from South Porcupine. He claimed that station was another station altogether and as the South Porcupine station only had: a license for a few weeks around ChriStmas time, this is likely to be the fact. However. "BUNK" made some fun while it lasted ‘and there will be some regret that it is “I don’t think there are man that class here.” said Robinson, there was another laugh. “those who demand a good wage and those who are willing to work for any- thing you like to give mm." “You forge: another class." said Councillor Morrison. “the class that have been sending their money out, cf this country." Councillor Honey then asked Rabi: son a few painted questions. He wan 61 to know h'sw Robinson had gates to Taronbo recently as a. delegate ‘ the premier, and if he didn't. think it would have been better to have used the money to support, himself or his friends.

He thought if the money had been spent here it would have only given temporary relief. while they were after more. la. sting results The mane} was raised by dancer. and ether events. R:binson casually men- tioned that there was still some sleep- ing at the Firm hall with01t blankets. ‘I was told there were enough blah- kets." said the mayor. who added that if there were any without e113u would be made to help them. Council did not. take any amion on the programme submitted. though ask- ed to support at least one or two clauses. I. E..D1'1nn was appointed weed inspec- tor for 1932. Anewby-mwregarmmiamm .e maycr tack occaszon to warn those present against any more parades. He explained the law in the matter. “We don‘t want any more of these fool parades.” he said. “You are only in- juring ycur own cause and getting no- whem." A number of tax rebates were au- thorized for due cause. corrections on roll for public and separate school sup- porters, etc. Contribution was made by the council to the expenses of the meeting here of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. Accounts and payrolls were pased for payment. A new by-lww regarding taxi: in town was pmd. Reference to this will be found W in this issue. The formal .by-law to permit of bar- rowing up to $350,000.00 to carry on until the year‘s taxes come in was duly passed. A by-law was passed for the licensing of all slot. machines in town with an annual fee of $1.00 and regulations and restrictions. W. C. Ringsleben was rte-appointed to the public library board. Nicholson, and H. Morin. At the suggestion of the auditor. au- thority was given for the sending out by the auditor of bills for taxw in ax- rears. This plan forms a. check on the bsokkeeping system and allows ex- tra. opportunity for the correction of any errors. An application was received for the work of garbage collection. but this was fyled as the pment contract has not expired and a new contract wzuid not be given without opportunity to the present garbage callecbor and omers w tender. The mayor urged all the committees to get their emulates in as early as possible this year. As the council was adjourning F. C.

The returned men on the other hand are fully determined to have the day immortalized as it was done last year and the full observance of , the day as a Dominion holiday.

There appears to be same misunderâ€" standing in the minds of some 33918 as to the rule in fcrce at. the public library in regard to children exchang- ing books after eight o‘clock. In a recent case one lady whose little girl was refused a book thought the rule was one put into effect by the librarian and that it was not a. general rule for all. As a matter of fact the rule has been in force since the library opened here. The rule is not concerned with eight o‘clock or nine o'clock. but rather iwith the ringing of the curfew bell. i After the curfew rings. the library rules ‘do not permit children under 16 years - of age unless accompanied by parents or guardians to remain in the library roam. In making this rule the library beard no d-zrubt felt that the library should be one to aseist in the rules and lregulations cf the town and children i not being allowed under the law to be i on the streets after the curfew, it would fnot be right to permit them in the ! library. Not being permitted to re- main in the library they are naturally debarred from exchanging bsoks after the curfew rings. Effort has been made to enforce the rule as closely as p‘s- 1 sible in the interests of the town, the llibrary and the children and- homes iallke. Children, imacccmpanied by ‘ parents. are not allowed the use of the il‘ibrary after the curfew rings, which means after eight. o‘clock in the winter months and after nine o'clock in the I summer time. tion to be present at a meeting at Schu- macher at an early da‘e. At the cann- cil meeting it was thought that Mon- day of next week, Feb. 29th, would be the best, available time for the propos- ed meeting. Announcement is new de- finitely made by the Schuma-cher Rate- payem’ Association that a meeting of the organization will be held in the Mcgntyre Recreation hall. Schumacher. on Monday evening, Feb. 29th. com- mencing at 8 pm. and that Reeve Gai- lagher and all the councillors of the Tcwn:.=.-hip cf Tisdale have accepted the invitation to be present.

Brady brought up the cditorial‘ reference in The Advance some weeks ago in regard to the injury to the tcwn and to the public eventually from the transient peddlers who carry no part of the burden of the municipality but prey on the people. He referred to the evil eflects of the peddlers in many lines and urged that a strong front be made against this evil. Vice- president Reg. Smith. who was in the. chair commented that in many lines there were even members of the Ki- wanis Club who fell for the wiles of the peddler to their own loss and the injury of the town. He instanced a couple of cases in his own knowledge where pedd- lers had been preferred and the people‘ had paid more for a less satisfactory1 product than could have been secured locally. The Business Standards com- mittee togetherwith Mr. Brady, were asked to take up‘the question further and report to a later meeting with any suggestions that might be made. ‘1.
