Property Seized by Sheriff Hospital Takes Measure to Collect Acâ€" been rather sensational developments in the municipal affairs of the townâ€" ship of Bucke, one of the townships in the Cobalt district. On Tuesday of last week Sheriff Geo. Caldbick, acting to satisfy a judgment obtained by the Toâ€" ronto Hospital for Consumptives, atâ€" tached the office furniture, typewriter, adding machine and vault, together with the township scraper and grader. The sheriff‘s official notice intimated that these goods would be put on sale by auction on Oct. 29th, at the office of the township in North Cobalt. The action follows unsuccessful effort by the Toronto Hospital for Consumptives to collect for five children treated for over a year by the hospital. The childâ€" ren were from Bucke township and the hospital looked to that municipality for payment. The township, however, conâ€" sidered the account should be paid by the Government. Eventually the hosâ€" pital sued for the account and was givâ€" en judgment for $1800.00. The attachâ€" ment last week was to attempt to colâ€" lect the judgment. ing an interview with Premier G. S., Henty ‘of Ontaflo in ah effort to solve According to despatches from Haileyâ€" bury last weekâ€"end, quoting Reeve Bert Normandy of Bucke township the unusual procedure of the seizure Cf township property may have other unâ€" usual results if the township is forced to pay the amount claimed by the Toâ€" ronto Hospital for Consumptives. One despatch says that closing of the townâ€" ghip schools for lack of funds with which to operate them, looms as poSsâ€" sibility if the claims of the Toronto Hospital for Consumptives against tht municipality of Bucke must be met, according to a statement issued at North Cobalt on Friday last by Reeve Bert Normandy, and dealing with the township‘s viewroint in the crisis which has arisen through seizure by the sheriff of municipal property to satisfy a judgment for more than $1,800 held by the hospital authorities. The reeve said the council is not trying to evade any of its responsibilities, but he conâ€" tended the township was carrying On at present under a decided financial handicap, as approximately a hundred families. are on relief, with tax collecâ€" tions suffering proportionately. the financial difficulties of the townâ€" Reeve Normandy‘s statement came after he had had cpportunity of purâ€" suing statements said to have been made in Toronto by the legal firm there which represents the hospital. In it, he makes the definite assertion that the township council of 1930, of which he was member, had the assurance of Miss M. Nealon, Ontario public health nurse at Haileybury at that time, that the five children whose maintenance in the Weston sanitarium is the reason behind the sheriff‘s action, were taken to Toronto by the nurse on the underâ€" standing that the cost of their treatâ€" met would be borne by the Province of Ontario. Bucke paid the transportation costs, Reeve Normandy said, but both he personally, and the council as a body were told by the nurse that she had made all arrangements regarding Costs with the officials at Toronto. The children had to go to the hospital, Reeve Normandy .declared the nurse had told him. Regarding the declaration of J. M. Godfrey, of the Toronto legal firm handling the hospital‘s affairs, that an offer to settle on a basis of $600 was made, the reeve asserted he never had heard of any such move. It had been suggested by the township that, if the action was dropped, a payment of $200 or $300 might be considered as a start, with arrangements made to take care of the balance, but after the solicitors had approached the township‘s legal representative and had offered to take a first payment of $300 and give the municipality an opportunity to make further deposits on account at conveniâ€" Ient; dates, nothing further happened until the sheriff walked into the office and they are now ‘with relatives, and in good health, it is stated. Their parâ€" ents both died from tuberculosis. Bucke township faces another lawâ€" suit, but this time it is in Division Court, and the plaintifis are the Haileyâ€" m and‘ took-possession of table, chairs, typewriter, adding machine and vault, with road scraper and grader. For the present, the township clerk is using the office furniture and equipâ€" ment as usual, and there has been no dislocation of business. tax collections running to about 85 per cent.. but conditions are difficult at present. Of the township‘s receipts, twoâ€"thirds are required for school purâ€" pmes.andflxemeveargtmesthattoadd to the general rate, the bill for the upâ€" keep of the children is at present an impossibility. The young patients were discharged from Weston after spending try to straighten out the matter. In normal times, the revenue of the muniâ€" cipiality is approximately sla.oqo._ _with counts for Children. Schools May have to Close, Says Reeve of During the past few days there have Reeve Normandy stated he is seekâ€" Reeve Normandy hopes to have @A ed to the maintenance of the separate school in Haileybury. It is claimed at North/Cobalt that the ratepayers whose property is involved were agreeable to supporting the public schools in their respective sections, and which are the only educational institutions there. No levy was made for the urikeep of separâ€" ate schools in ithis case two years ago, it is stated. The dispute dates back to 1930. Report that 28 Indians Perished in Far North With the advance of the railway to Mcosonee,; there come stranger stories from the North than before. One of these strange stories is given as follows in a despatch last week from Moosoâ€" nee:â€""Authorities here are checking up on reports of the death of 28 Cree Indians driven from their trapping grounds by superstitious fear of their Gcod, Wendigo. According to the story told by white trappers who only reâ€" ceived the information from a ship that picked up the sole survivor, the Indians perished in the icebsund fastnesses of. dians invaded the EBastman River counâ€". of Moostonee. The survivor is renorted. to have been picked up last May. As related by the trappers here the Inâ€" dians invaded the Eastman river counâ€" try to establish trap lines for the winâ€" ter. Then, it was related, they incurâ€" red the animosity of Wendigo. Forced slowly northward by barren trails, lack of meat and other persecutions of a "spirit nature". they finally. perished: dhe by dne in"the Big River countryâ€" with the exception of the survivor." 12 0. .9, .0. ,0,,0, .0. .0, .0. o l hn io oo io P o in e io P * 0e *4 4005042909408 -f‘ W ‘ «* Try The Advance want Advertisements o. 0. _0 0_ _0 _0 _0._0..0,.0,.0,.0,,.0,,.0, .m2£IWZWXMIWXMXMXV_NJ%JWJWJWJW «le edealnaTacliacte electectoctecteatacteclects d 1(9 te ¢4 mber Company L .00000000.0 0 < 0. 0."% e * w 44 s # . a r-f‘ a" 4 "o~e ~e e**%0"%*"* w “.“ # C MBC 3 $4, ®, 6 a. .0 #0 % 04 4 4 #4 @ * se U Je 40 046 6 ol« * 0 odkwaGeaQecteczect ‘s** Soct \l 0, Feldman T e# etes 04 0 i. $.% v ...... ... -.%A Head Office SCHUMACHER Phone 708 TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27TH, 1932 We also carry a complete stock of Spruce and Jack Pine Flooring.
