The Hawk Lake Lumber Compaliy wrote asking that the motor ploaugh be tsent out to their property. The work was done and a charge of three dollars \an hour levied. _ The municipal association wrote asking Timmins to join again. As it is probable that this year‘s convention will be in North Bay, the town will probably become a member for 1935. Coun. Chateauvert Willi Not Resign Seat (Continued from Page One) reference in case snow shovellers art needed . The petition of a landlord was heard who found it impossible, he said, to eject a family at this time of year, parâ€" ticularly as there was a small baby in the family. The rent could not be paid because the man who was in the place did not have enough work. The case will be investigated by the relief officer. The matter will be taken up at the special meeting on Tuesday. Reeve Carter of Teck township wrote asking the coâ€"operation of Timmins and other towns in the North in getâ€" ting tcgether about the taxing of mines. This will also be gone into at the special meeting. Beer and Wine Money Coming The Liquor Control Board <f Ontario wrote informing the council that their 20 per cent. share of the license fees charged for the selling of beer and wine in Timmins would be paid at the end of the present year and would reâ€" present the fees charged for the board‘s fiscal year, Nov. 1, 1934, to Oct. 31st, 1935. Mrs. Grimston, secretary of the Timâ€" mins library board, wrote asking about the appointment of a member to the board by the council. This will also come up at the special meeting. Mr. Chateauvert‘s resignation was read Some years ago, cone of the firemen was put on with the public works deâ€" partment part time. Since then the shifts at the fire hall have been unâ€" evenly divided and the council decided on Wednesday to hire another man and even up the shifts again. Chief of Police Paul was instructed to hire another policeman who would h. 6. t . i. . 6. t n n n n sn ns t 1 1 2t 18 28 . + w # _ _# w _# + «h * .0000000000000000000000000000000'00.00000000.00000000000000“00"00 o20000‘0:0’0‘000“‘"'.000?000“0.0000000 NQO...O.O'OQ'OMQ oo’?o’?%?o.?z Add One Fireman Lake Lumber Company that the motor plough be heir property.

George Hogg was appointed weed inâ€" spector for 1935 and his 1934 salary from the town, $10, was paid. Tenders will be called on the purâ€" chase of 11 new uniforms for the fire department. Six pairs of rubber and two webs of sheeting and pillow case material will also be bought. The question of fire insurance on the fire hall was raised when Councillor Bartleman noticed an increase in the rate over last year. This was explainâ€" ed by the local agents who had written the policy as a mistake. "The fire hall should be a good risk," said one councillor. Councillor Caron thought it strange that the fire rates on fire halls should be higher than on ordinary buildings. Clerk H. E. Mcntgomery said the reaâ€" Chief Borland stated that he underâ€" stood the reason for the high rate was cn the type of construction. Want Road Ploughed Councillor Chateauvert presented the case of residents on the north end of Vimy road. The snowplough would only have an additional 500 feet to gO to give them easy access in the winter to their homes. Since the homes in questizn are outside the municipality. son fire rates on fire halls were nigh was because firemen went out in such rush that sometimes cigarettes alt cigars were left burning creating hazard. to give them easy access in the winte to their homes. Since the homes 1 questizn are outside the municipality spectial action had to be taken. If i only a matter of another five minut? work when the plough is down tha way, so permissicn was given, but th mayor commented that it was not en couraging land owners there to becom annexed to the town of Timmins. Councillor Bartleman suggested tha an emergency organization be he‘l‘d i: readiness to deal with unexpecte snowstorms. He felt that better worl czuld be done at night on snow Te moval so that the town would be wel cleaned up for the morning. He citt: the complaiht of a gierchant that th ridge of snow alc the side of th street prevented people crossing wher ever they wanted to and so hurt busi Another driver is being coached in the driving of the plsough and will be ready to work the machine two shifts any time that is necessary. Survey Not Made Yet The Ontario Hydro Commission will be written again in regard to their proâ€" posed survey of the town for power. Councillor Bartleman asked that legâ€" al advice be obtained by the town in ccnnection with bills on which a penâ€" alty is charged by the power company for overdue accounts. He contended that the users had on deposit with the company a larger sum than was necesâ€" sary to meet the account and that therefore they should not be penalized for overdue accounts. "Is that a matter with which the council should deal?" asked the mayOor. "It‘s in the public interest," replied Mr. Bartleman. Representatives of the power Comâ€" pany will be asked to attend a meetâ€" ing of the council before a decision is made about the installation Oof new street lights. Wood Contract Peters Out Mayor Richardson advised that he had bought two carloads of wozd for the town at $6.75 per fourâ€"foot cord. It was mixed tamarack and spruce and the mayor considered that the town had done well. The question was, he said. did the town want any more al the same price? "I guess the contract we Save Morir is not going to materialize," he told the council. Morin has not delivered an} of the wood contracted for yet. in the Legion Club House at 8 p.m. Members Bring Your Personal Friend The Cream of Local Male Talent Saturday, Jan. 26 ind Winners of Prizes ..‘.if as Leading Dancers 1t The mayor had been asked to withâ€" hold payment of the two carloads alâ€" ready bought until the cutter had paid his crown timber dues. This request came from the crown timber agent. Had the town not purchased the two carloads when they did, the crown would have stepped in and seized them for nonâ€"payment of dues. In emergency relief cases it was deâ€" cided that the decision of Mr,. Dunn and the mayor or any councillors conâ€" veniently lccated wou‘d be sustained by the council as a whole. Fire Truck Breakdown Serious Councillor Bartleman termed the breakdown of a rear end in the fire truck as a sericus matter. The same thing has happened before and now it seems, there is no use putting in more rear ends. It was suggested that a new chassis be bought for the body a new chassis be bought 1I0r Uie uulVy and use the old chassis for a departâ€" ment of works truck, where it would not be expected to do such heavy duty. The cost cf the new chassis, accord â€" ing to a representative of Marshallâ€" Eeclestone, would be $1,437 with dual wheels. The cost of reconditisoning the old one, for light service such as it would receive with the departme®®® of works would be $450 he estimated. This was left with the fire committee with power to act, as it is necessary that something be done immediately. ing to aA Ecclestont wheels. 1 Finals in Waltz Contests Held Last Night at"the â€" Pavilion and Results Announced. th been in progress for the past LWO months. Of theso fifteen couples, three were chosen by judges as the best waltz dancers in the Porcuping camp ‘Tri( The orchestra, undor the leadership of Al Pigcrini, played beautiful Irish medleys throughout the contest. The music was exceptionally good and the dance ficor was suitably decorated and lighted to blend with it. | The lucky winners of the twentyâ€" five dollars first prize were Géorge Andruchuck and Miss Annie Stachow. Rolland Barngs and Miss Lillian Linna took the second prize of fifteen dollars, whi‘ls Jchn Mascioli and Miss Mae Noveaux were declared the ten dollar third prize winners. Two additional prizes for the. most graceful dancers wers taken by Percy Pike and Miss Violet Laurila. The judges for the contest were J. E. McDonald, Miss Leonna Burton and Mrs. Gordon Archibald. The management were quite satisâ€" fied with the results and intimated that a foxâ€"trot contest would e started in Smaller Fire Truck Again Laid up for Repairs, Ete. The smaller of the two motor fire trucks in the fire hall is laid up at present for needed repairs. This truck, known as the "National" has had many adventures and an equal quantity of repairs. Indeed, it has about cost its priginal selling value in the repairs that have been necessary since the truck was purchased. On the other hand the big LaFrance motor equipâ€" ment needs no repairs or special attenâ€" tion. It will cost several hundred doilâ€" lars to put the "National" back in posiâ€" ion that it can carry on with satisâ€" faction. It is not so long ago since some fairly expensive repairs and alâ€" terations were made in the smaller truck. At the time it was pointed out that older parts of the truck would not be strong enough to carry some of the new parts. This proved to be the case. In" a difficult piece of road this week the whole rear end of the "National" came away, rendering the truck useless. It is likely that a whole new chassis will be put in so that the truck will be able to carry the load on it. In the meanâ€" time, the town team, sleigh, etc., is being kept at the fire hall as an auxilâ€" iary to be used only in case of a double It is likely that be put in so th to carry the lo time. the tow Dancit ti .mton‘n’o’no.nco.! #, [# e *« t# # *> # .0 than any other w _ _# _ @ ## # * #_. _# o“o”:‘ #* # */ ”:"0 ## # # w# # .. # 2 242 0 0% . .® w# # ## # 4# ## w# V JB . *# # w# ## 0.00. ..0. # .‘. # # # # #* #* # # _# t# # C .Â¥ Guaranteed to give you Better Satisfaction # w# *# #_ _# # 0..0 # # # 4 ## 4* .0 ...'.0 e e â€" M ## #. ® C L ME d ‘0 Q.N. * "#%° °® L J # .. 0.. #, t# _ @# #° #. * Q. .. #* # # 0. .0 #° °#® # # ## # # # * # # *# ## w # ** #_ _# “'“. ## ## w h ul s * 22 “.“.00.“.00. .00. 0... * # # _ _ ®@ «* *« tw 'A-Q.‘ ncing to the rhythmic strains of Vagabond Kings, fifteen couples the flsor last night at the Riverâ€" pavilion to compete in the finals e series of waltz contests that have in progress for the past two hs.

Bennett Dies in Toronto Hospital Thomas Percy Bennett, a man who was widely known throughout the North Country in the early day and who is remembered by a host of friends in Timmins, died in Tcronto at the General hospital on Tuesday after an illness. He came here m 1911 from the Coâ€" balt district where he had been for some years and remained in the camp until 1932 when he was forced to go to Tcronto to look after some properties there. During the past two years he has been in Timmins periodically on short visits. He was one of the first barbers in the Porcupine camp. Mr. Bennett was born 58 years ago in the vicinity of Burk‘s Falls. His wife, formerly Miss Starr, a son Percy, who lives here and two daughter, Ella (Mrs. A. M. Rice) and Meda live here at the family home at 27 Middleton avenue. The funeral Toronto. Among the more recent highlights in the trial of Brunc Hauptman in New Jersey on charges of kidnapping and murdering Baby Lindbergh is evidence showing that Hauptman was near the Lindbergh home arsund the time of the kidnapping of the child and not elsewhere as hs> claims. Extended evidence was also given as to his bank account and stock speculations. It was shown that before the ransom money was paid Hauptman had only a few hundreds in the bank while after the ransom money was turned over, his balance suddenly ran into the thousâ€" ands. A witness this week testified that the tools that made the ladder left Outside by the kidnapper belonged to Hauptman‘s carpenter chest. It is expected that Hauptman will go on the witness stand toâ€"day in his own deâ€" fence. Highlights in Trial of Hauptman in New Jersey There are a couple of highlights in the news about the five little Dionne quintuplets at Callander this week, One is that Hon. Premier Hepburn visited the youngsters and he*and members of his cabinet ~were â€"photographed standing with one or more of the deâ€" fenceless babies in their arms. The other item burning the wires about the quintuplets is that Dr. Dafoe reports that ‘the tumor on the leg of little Marie Dionne, smallest of the quintuâ€" plets, appears to be responding to the second radium treatment applied by Dr. Howard Kelly recently. Dr. Kelly is from John Hopkins hospital, Baltiâ€" more.

Mac Lang, chairman of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway Commission, will resign from that position when he officially accepts the Liberal nomination to contest the riding of South Temiskaming in the coming Dominion election. On more than one occasion Col. Mac Lang has been quoted as saying that he had no intention of resigning. On behalf of Col. Lang it has been held that the position he held on the T. N. O. board was a provincial appointâ€" ment and had nothing at all to do with his position as a candidate or member in the Dominion House. The argument added that the two positions did not in any way conflict and that there were many precedents for Col. Lang taking both places. It seems to be a fact that very few in this North Country would find any fault with Col. Premier Says That Col. Lang to Resign Mac Lang retaining the chairmanship of the T. N. O. board and running as a candidate in the Dominion elecâ€" Hon. Mr. Hepburn Says that Chairman of T; N. 0. will Resign when he Offiâ€" cially Accepts Nomination tion. Most people have confidence enough in Col. Lang to believe he would | play fair in any position he might hold, l whether one or two. As a matter of fact there are a great many people who ’ would be ready to wager that he will | not have more than the one position, his opponent in the election being Hon. wWw. A. Gordon. Be that as it may, however, Premier Hepburn has apparâ€" ently settled the question of{â€"hand. He says that Col. Lang is to resign as sOOon as he fyles his official nomination, which will be a week or ten days before | the election, whenever that may be. There has been a precedent for such a case as Col. Lang‘s, the Premier said. "Hon. Robert J. Manion held a seat in the House of Commons while he was | a member of the Liquor Board," he | asserted, "but conditions in this casc' gare a little different. "The railway which Col, Lang heads runs through the constituency which he will contest and many of the emâ€" ployes of the railway live in that conâ€" stituency. So it was decided that it would be better for him to resign when he filed his official nomination." Of course, there is a possibility that | the premier‘s announcement at this time is just a plan to be ready for eventualities that may arise. Col. Lang has rightly and wisely set his face ESPECIALLY PRICED DRUGS and Patents for the Week End Pepsodent Tooth Paste The new large tube Chase‘s Kidney Pills Giant Kruschen Salts oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ne Viek‘s Vapoâ€"Rub ...........

N. O. for purely partisan purposes. It may be nscessary on this account to find an excuse for dropping COl. Lang from the railway commission. It would hardly do to say that he was being dropped bscause he would not work politics in the administration of the railway. That would not sound very well. To say that he resigns would answer much better. Premier Hepâ€" burn must have known that Col. Lang was a candidate before he was given the T. N. O. chairmanship. If he should not hold the two positions the time to settle that was before and not after the appointment. It would be a pity to see Col. Lang drop from the T. N. O. commission.
