Reeve Young brought the matter to the atâ€" tention of the Whitney township counâ€" cil last year and the question was takâ€" en up with the Northern: Development Dept. This department, however, said that the dGdecision did not rest with them but with the Government, and consequently Whitney and Tisdale have been pressing on the Government recently that the ploughing of the road be looked after this winter. If Timâ€" mins and the other centres along the highway join with Porcupine and South Porcupine the: Government might be made to see the general adâ€" vantage to the people of the district in having the road kept open. It may be argued that the keeping open of the highway might reduce traffic on the railway but it would appear that this would not be the case to any appreciâ€" able event. In the opinion Oof those advocating the keepigg open of the highway it would be more liable to help railway traffic by the increased activity Porcupine At the present time both Porcupine (Golden City) and South Porcupine are pressing upon the Ontario Governâ€" ment the desirability of keeping open the thighway between Timmins and Porquis Junction.

On Friday evening around nine o‘clock the police visited the Timmins rink unexpectedly and took a half a dozen or so boys in charge. The lads were from thirteen to twentyâ€"five years of age, but only one had reached the quarterâ€"century stage, the most of them being under 16 years of age. They were makKing considerable noise banging on the side.doors of the rink and also using various implements in their efforts to get into the rink. Some of them appeared to be trying to dig their way into the hockey match in progress, while others appeared to be trying to attract the attention of boy friends inside the rink with the apparent idea that the boys would open the doors from the side so that they could slip in ang see the game. The noise they made was considerable and at times interfered with the spectaâ€" tors inside the rink. This sort of thing has been going on for each senior hockey match this season and the police intend to stop it for the sake of all concerned. It is not fair to the rink management, the people who pay their way into the events, nor to the boys themselves. Friday night the boys were taken before Chief Paul who explained the matter to them, after which they were taken to their homes, their parents being warned that the boys must be looked after at home at nights. Further trouble along thls' WW%@ »193¢ markers, you drive it at your own risk in 1935, is the position the department of highways, under Hon. T. B. Mcâ€" Questen, takes this year. If involved in an accident, it would apparently place the driver in the same position as if he had no license plates at all. According to reports from Toronto, motorists in Ontario will not be grantâ€" ed a month of grace in which to pay their license fees either for their cars or permits this year. Police Clear Boys from Around Arena Motorists Not to Have Any Leeway This Year "The previous practice of extending the time is not going to be adopted any further by this department," said the minister, "Last year‘s licenses exâ€" pired on Dec. 3ist and persons now driving without a 1935 license take the risk themselves of the penalty provided in the event of. any accident occurring or the police taking action.

It will be the first section of what will ultiâ€" mately be known as the Muskoka Loop. This road will afford motorists using the Ferguson highway an ideal side trip around the Muskoka Lakes.

Seventeen minutes after they left the council chamber, they returned and the chairman of the committee, Councillor Chateavert moved and Councillor Mcâ€" Dermott seconded that the following be the committees of the council for 1935 : Mayor Richardson explained that he had chosen a French, Irish and English representative to act on the striking committee. When the motion fixing the committee was read Councillor Bartleâ€" man stated that he ‘"objected to the frameâ€"up and that he might not act on the committees to which he was appointed." The Mayor asked him if last year he had not asked for the fire and light committee, but Mr. Bartleâ€" man denied that. The only objection Councillor Chaâ€" teauvert said he had to the action of the committee was in his own appointâ€" ment as chairman of finance. However, he considered it a great honour to be given a second year there. Timmins police ran out of forms for the registration of revolvers and pistols last week and are now awaiting the arrival from Ottawa of a new batch, for which the department there has been asked. made under the new registration law until all who need them have had a fair chance to obtain their certificates.

Councillor Caron said he was "glad to be here again after being four years on the council before." He accepted the chairmanship of the police committee and advocated a change in the situaâ€" prising the Porcupine mining division as well as the Red Lake and Woman Lake divisions.

Wednesday was considered most conâ€" venient for businessmen as it is a halfâ€" tion at the corner of Spruce street and Third avenue where cars are forced to stop before making a right turn. Dr. Day admitted he was new at the job but that as chairman of the waterâ€" works committee he would soon find out what it was all about. Councillor McDermott stated that he hoped to be able to work in harmony with the rest of the council. Wants Eight Hour Day Councillor Bartleman asked that a business meeting be held immediately foilowing the inaugural to consider the question of putting the wages of town employees back where they were before cut last year and also to consider reâ€" ducing the working hours of the police force from 12 to eight hours per day.

Mayor Richardson added a few words asking the coâ€"operation of every memâ€" ber in making the year‘s work a sucâ€" cess. "We have lots of work ahead and we‘ll go at it with a might," he preâ€" dicted. "There will no doubt be some little changes, but nothing radical. The question of wages is one for the council to consider at a future meeting." May Change. Summer Meetings When the question of deciding a time for the council meetings was raised, all but Mr. Bartleman agreed that an afternoon session would be better. The general view taken was that the counâ€" cillors themselves would be more effiâ€" cient during the afternoon before havâ€" ing put in a complete day‘s work.

Gordon Spence, coach of the Gold Diggers, was elated after his team‘s victory Friday night, especially as the win came from a team weakened by the absence of Miller at defence.
