Schumacher Marci. 19th Prospectors‘ Classes Start on March 19th A landlord asked that the rent of his tenant be paid by the town, this tenant having had his ribs broken and so being unable to work at present. The landlord said that if the rent were not paid he would ibe forced to put the family out and then the town would have seven to look after. He did not ask for the money for the rent but wanted it credited to him on his taxes. The case was left over. Councillor Bartleman brought up the case of a lady in town who fell on an icy sidewalk and broke her hip. It was found that nothing could be done for the lady, as the accident had not been reported at the time as required by law. It was three months ago that the accident happened and when the town was informed of the matter it was too late to do anything through the inâ€" surance company handling the indemâ€" nity insurance. Councillor Bartleman thought that the town was paying too heavy premiums on the indemnity inâ€" surance if cases like this went by. Town Solicitor S. A. Caldbick said that accidents of this kind had to ‘be reâ€" ported within seven days or neither the town nor the insurance company could do anything in the regular way. A gentleman in the audience reportâ€" ed the condition of the sidewalks beâ€" low Mountjoy street as very dangerous. With the snow melting, people had been cutting ice from in front of their gates. In many cases this left a big hole in the sidewalk and at night these holes could not be seen and there was danger of serious accident as a conseâ€" quence. 9 Councillor Belec brought up the case Gf a woman who had received several hundred dollars‘ worth of relief and yet was said to own property in Rouyn.

There were a number of relief cases before the council. One man asked for relief as he had been refused help when he applied. He was questioned by Mayor Richardson and eventually the case was referred to Councillor Maltais to see about. An oldâ€"time resident of the camp, who left here and returned some five years ago, also asked for reâ€" lief. Mayor Richardson suggested that he should be given work in the bush, but Councillor Maltais explained that the man had no bush experience and that he was so small that he would be handicapped by the deep snow. Also it was noted that this man was 53 years of age. The case was referred to. Mr. Dunn. A young man asked for reâ€" lief, saying that the relief officer had turned him down. In reply to a quesâ€" ticn from the council Mr. Dunn said that the young man had given conâ€" flicting statements in his applications for relief. The young man was advised by the mayor to see the relief comâ€" imittee and explain his case fully and frankly. At the meeting of the town council on Thursday last, Mayor R. Richardson was in the chair, and Councillors Chaâ€" teauvert, Lapratrie, Maltais, Bartleman, and Belec were present. One Woman Thought to have Obtained Relief by Fraud. Several Relief Appeals Heard.

Sportsmen spoken to are quite ready to contribute, and the Porcupine Fish and Game Protective Association has taken up the matter with enthusiâ€" asm. Any sportsman who can contriâ€" bute should send in their donations to the secretary of the association, J. D. Brady, or to either W. F. B. Cosser or A. W. Young.

This latter survey will be made later. If the present survey is by the Dominion Government as sug â€" gested by news from South End this morning, then there is hope for the commencement of work on the Porâ€" cupineâ€"Sudbury road this year. The Porcupine to Sudbury road was one of the very few road projects recommendâ€" ed to the Dominion Government by the National Construction Council some weeks ago. This week a Government plane was in South Poreupine for the purpose of making a survey from the air of the route preposed for the road from Porâ€" There have been several complaints made in regard to an address broadâ€" cast on the radio here on Tuesday evening. Listenersâ€"in describe the adâ€" dress as abusive and most objectionâ€" able, and express surprise that it should be permitted over the radio. The radio station disclaims any reâ€" sponsibility for the propaganda, saying that the firm sponsoring that part of the programme Tuesday evening did their own broadcasting and the text of the address was not known until later. Those who heard the address describe it as very abusive of the orâ€" dinary run of local merchants, agcusâ€" ing them of all sorts of improper conâ€" duct in business and imputing false motiveéSs"to them. The Advance unâ€" derstands that the recently formed merchants‘ association is taking the: matter up and intends to prosecute iti to a finish. As The Advance suggest,e-dI in previous issues the radio lends itself too easily to rumour and objectionable statements and there is not the same certainty of protection for the public as Chbtains in the case of newspapers and other forms of printed publicity | where a permanent record remains of what has been said. For this reason special care should be taken in regard to all sorts of broadcasting. It is to be hoped in the general public interest that the merchants‘ association carries through its action in this matter so that at least honest business men may be protected from evil aspersions and the public guarded from the nuisance of irresponsible and malicious propaâ€" ganda.

They feel it is only fair, that they should assist in the cost of the dam that means so much to them, but that the major part of the expense should be borne by the, province at large as the value of the dam extends much beyond the bounds of the district. In the district Kirkland Lake and Iroâ€" quois Falls sportsmen have volunteered assistance in raising the amount and it may be taken for granted that the Chairman Geo. W. Lee and Commisâ€" sioners Col. L. T. Martin and Col. J. I. McLaren were in town last week on one of their regular tours of inspection over the line and branches. Paul Leduc, charged with an offence under the criminal code for interferâ€" ence with a small girl, was given thirty days in jail. An assault case and a charge of nonâ€" support against another man were reâ€" manded for a week. The cases against Jos.

The case against John P. Boisonâ€" nault, Provincial ~Constable Hartlieb was dismissed at court this week after being remanded from last week. At police court this week there were ten who either were given jail terms or elected themselves to go to jail in lieu of paying fines. In the number there were five drunks to serve 30â€"day terms. There were three other drunks paying $10.00 and costs each. On a charge of selling liquor preferred by the provincial police, Romeo Paquette was sentenced to three months. Alice Cote, fined $100.00 and costs for having liquor without a permit, will take the three months. A vagrant drew 30 days.

In this work the health authorities have received the full coâ€"operation of the other loca. doctors .and.of ‘the nurses. . _In diph, theria, for instance, the good work ol the health department is very evident the disease being pra¢tically unknown here now. This is due to the wideâ€" spread immunization treatment given here for this disease through the good offices of the iboard of health. The same holds true in regard to smallpox. Some years ago danger of a smallpox epidemic here was avoided by very genâ€" eneral vaccination. As a result the town was safe from any danger of epiâ€" demics of smallpox for fully seven years just as Dr. Moore, Medical Health Offiâ€" cer, suggested at the time. At the present moment, Dr. Moore is having a general vaccination of the school children so that the youngsters may be guarded against danger of smallpox. Consent cards are being sent to the homes, so that parents may agree to the vaccination against smallâ€" pox. Parents should coâ€"operate by signing the consent cards. Children of preâ€"school age may reâ€" ceive free vaccination for smallpox at the clinic room, Fourth avenue, on Thursday afternoon, March 29th, beâ€" tween three and four o‘clock. â€"There was a report current that two were seen on nide near the Hollinger at hour on Monday morning.
