After the reading of the minutes of last meeting considerable correspondence was read. A good deal of charity was still being asked. In one case the man had been out of work since January, 1931. There were three children, the second one being in the Sick Children‘s Haspital in Toronto near the point of death. Private parties had given the woman money enough to go down to see the child but the family were practically destitute.

This places a heavy burden on the taxpaying homeâ€"owner, who can scarcely manage to keep the roof over his own childen‘s heads. There was considerable discussion over the givâ€" ing of taxi license to any who did not carry a certain amount of liability inâ€" surance. The solicitor reported that it would be quite in order to refuse taxi licenses to any who did not produce certificates of such insurance. It was decided to hold this matter over for further investigation ~before stating just how much insyrance taxi must carry in order to have his aprlication for license OKd. It was aiso menâ€" tioned that some movement should be taken to have license fees paid the first of the year instead of May lst as is done now. All licenses expire on Deâ€" cember 3ist of the current year in which they are issued. There was A letter from the Department of Surveys in Toronto re claims around the source of water supply. Up to the present no one can stake a claim there, and this area is to be carefully guarded so that there will be no source of pollution on all land around the water source, hence the township are getting lease of ocâ€" cupation on all land around there.

A Schumacher representative of the Schumacher Ratepayers‘ Association was present to see what was being done about the cemetery. He said that they suggested that a commission be appointâ€" ed to handle it, the position being honâ€" orary, not monetary. Until the proper Title can be got for the land there is not much that can be done. If the title cannot be got otherwise exproâ€" priation will probably be necessary. They promised to notify Schumacher as soon as title to the ground could be cotained and better care was promised this summer. On Monday evening after four the Trail Rangers defeated the Bearcatsâ€" two juvenile organizations in townâ€" 5â€"4. Later there «were the regular schedule of games. The High School won out in a 3â€"2 score against the Mill. The Bankers were defeated by the Skylarks 5â€"4, and the Engineers and Electricians played to an overtime tie. One person was present re wood pilâ€" ed on a blind street vuut permission had been given to prile it there and the council could see no very justifiable reason for now withdrawing such perâ€" mission. Legislation wished for at this session in Toronto was discussed, also the best method of obtaining same in regard to municipal requirements. from taxation. He said that at the meeting in Schumacher there seemed to be a feeling that School Section No. 2 (Echumacher) had paid more taxes to Tisdale than 865. No. 1. Figures that were prepared for Messrs Ellis and Bickle sometime ago show that up to the end of 1930 Dome had paid $208,â€" 000 more taxes than the McIntyre. Each section had its cwn water system to instal and has it to maintain. FEach section had its own schools to build and to keep up. By the looks of the McIntyre buildings toâ€"day, it would seem that with a projmr adjustment of assessment McIntyre taxes would soon catch up with what Dome has paid. There was a discussion over rates charged by taxis to various points in the camp. S. Petcoff brought a copy of an old byâ€"law of 1925 re rates by taxis but it was designated as a Chinâ€" ese puzzle now. He also had rates from other localities. It was decided rates could not be struck at a meeting like that without more data. It was decided to have Chief McInnis notify all taxi drivers to send in a schedule of rates which they thought fair and from that data the council could work. father have jobs Why can‘t employâ€" ars of labour in this camp coâ€"operate to give men a chance where children are concerned?" Another said as the quiet, pitiful tale was told, "It‘s a cold day for children without enough clothes." In all cases where help was given the order was made out for stores that represented Tisdale taxpayers. A Finlandor was present to see if he sold his home and took his wife and three children to Finiand if he could have the taxes cancelled so that he would have enough o go with. The council felt that all taxes were too badly needed as present to fsed those that were here to cancel them and they were let stand. It was thought some of his friends could assist him. A Finnish woman was present re six roomers she had who were out of work and whom she had kept on. As no authority had been given by council for keeping them they would not pay past room rent but if there was not room in the place supplied by the townâ€" ship for housing the unemployed then some arrangements might be made, but the council was now feeding them. A woman from Schumacher was in lookâ€" ing for assistance. Her husband is out of work. There are five children going to school and a threeâ€"yearâ€"old child at home but the children now had to stay home from school because they had no clothes fit to go with. The grocer who had been carrying them for groceries felt that he could do so 10 longer as the bill was now up in ‘he hundreds. Council felt it was a nmnuch more needy case than some sthers that had applied. A neighbour who was with her said the children wvere bright and got alcng well when hey could go to school. Councillor Hawkins said he would be responsible for seesing that they got some clothing. The woman can sew enough to fix over clothes , that are worth fixing. As the neighbour told of these thres small boys and two girls without clothes enough to go out in, a councilâ€" lor remarked, "Men older than that at the home of their president, Mrs. W.

Two rinks from the Curling Club here journeyed to Kirkland Lake on Saturday last and played challenge games there.

The evidence showed, said counsel, that Orland had applied through the present Mayor Drew of the town, for money from a mortgage company with which to pay his 1926 taxes and that both Drew and the present Lresurer Mr. Montgomery, had ssen th> : for the taxes. There had been ns counc:c o ths town at the trial and no counsel a.p- peared today to represent the corporaâ€" tion. The town had "actually even asked for penalties," Mr. Doherty asserted, after applying payments made as late as 1929 and 1930. He said that Drew testified that he had seen the receipt for the 1926 taxes which had since been lost. "I think you have established that those taxes were paid," said Chief Justice Latchford . ‘"What actually happened was that this man paid his taxes twice." "It is just a sample of negligence with which the handled this whole matter, Doherty.
