Debenture Debt Decreasing Assets Of the town, which include property such as schools, builidings, machinery, streets, pavements and so on are estimated at $1,389,081.81. The debentures cutstanding at present amount. to $857,254.52. but this amount is being reduced yearly. In 1940 debentures to the amount of $18,766 will be wiped off; in the followâ€" ing years Of 1941, 1942 and 1943, deâ€" bentures varying between $40,000 and $50,000 will be retired. Each year the town of Timmins pays out nearly $125;,â€" 000 on debentures and interest. The assessment of the town varies from year to year, but during the past four years has remained about six and a half millions dollars. On this assessâ€" ment nearly $450,000 in taxes is collectâ€" ed. Taxing of Hollinger income from investments has shown a steady deâ€" cline. In 1929, Holloinger was taxable on inczme from that source of $705,000. Last year the figure was only $44,681. This year the town‘s assessment is up by nearly half a million dollars so that it stands very close to seven million dollars. The increased revenue from. this source, provided the tax rate is the same as last year would be about $27,â€" 000.

Even while restin under the influence Of sedatives, th hiccoughs did not cease entirely. Lighting Bill Exceptionally Low Mr. Richardson presented a comâ€" parison of Timmins‘ street lighting bill with thoss of a few Other Ontario communities. In order to keep the streets properly lighted at night the town spends annually $5,652 or about 33 cents per capita. In Toronto the per capita cost is 85 cents, where street lighting costs $528,.737 every year. In 33 cents per capita. In Toronto the per capita cost is 85 cents, where street lighting costs $528,737 every year. In Port Arthur it costs 98 cents per capita and in smaller centres the cost goes as high as $2.85 per capita. The Hydro rates in North Bay weis also quoted and show a very slight difâ€" ference with the ratesprevailing here. In Mr. Richardson‘s very complete summary of the business of supplying water to the 17,500 people in Timmins, some rather surprising facts came Out. In the industrial class, 16 stores use 10,500,000 gallons a yvoear; three bakerâ€" Mrs. Belanger : her husband has hiccoughs before, A number of interesting comparisons in the matter of taxes and collection were given by Mayor Richardson. He said that in 1934, collecticn of taxecs fell to 69 per cent. and gave it as his opinion that the percentage of collecâ€" tions should reach 75 per cent. Outâ€" standing taxes over the period of years since Timmins has been a town amounted to 3220 247.23 at the end of 1934. In order to offset this in case properties sold at tax sales do not realâ€" ize the full amount of the taxes against them, a reserve for uncollectable taxes has been set up and now stands at $50,195.62. { l The figures of water consumptio! for the town were particularly inter esting and showed that the consump tion each day for every man, womal and child in the town to ap proximately 41 gallons. The tota amount of water used by the people 0 the town in 1934 was 319,190,000 gal lons. This figure does not, of course include water used by the Hollinge mine. Water mains in the town total 19 anc a half miles of iron pipe and the mileâ€" age of large sewers is 18.5. There arec 1,492 water connections installed in th town.

Mrs. Angrignon, accompanied by Mrs. Wheeler, if |Chiesly, Michigan, Mrs. Poulait, of Ottawa, Mrs. Paussette, of Rouyn, and Maurice Vizneault, were taken ‘to the hospital, and before enâ€" tering the building could hear the children making the usual baby noises.

The first of the special union church services being held during the Lenten season under the ‘joint auspices of all the evangelical churches of the camp was held last night at St. Matthew‘s Anglican church. There was a large attendance, and the address by Reyv. Dr. Fraser, of South Porcupine United Church was a particularly inspiring one A letter received from Capt. G. F. Morris, Senior Chaplain of the Navy League of Canada, gives the informaâ€" tion that he expects to visit Timmins on one of his regular trips in the course of the next few days. Capt. Morris has paid many visits here and has now wide circles of friends in Timmins and district. Although a long distance from the sea Or even from the great lakes where navigation is carried on in extended way the people of Timâ€" mins have a‘lways been greatly interâ€" ested in the Navy League and have givâ€" en it hearty support. For the past eighteen years the Navy League has given assistance to sailors, exâ€"naval men, and those plying on the great lakes. The Navy League maintains homes at Halifax and Sydney, 24,8866 men being helped last year at these hzoâ€"mes. In Ontario assistance was givâ€" en to sailors at Toronto, Hamilton, Kingtson, Welland and other places. The maintenance of the Sea Cadets is another good work of the Navy League. Capt. Morris will na doubt receive the same generous welcome on his cOming visit that has been extended to him in the past. Mrs. J. N.

Third Fire in Recent Years Yesterday‘s was the third fire in recent years at the familiar old buildâ€" and it was by far the most serious. Some officials express doubt as to whether it will be possible to restore it, as the rafters are badly charred and the place practically gutted. When the fire brigade arrived, smoke was already pouring out of many parts of it and it looked very much as if the place could not be saved. Onlookers expected to see flames break out at any moment. Prompt action in laying hose and directing the to the spots where it was needed most probably was instrumental in saving ‘that part of the structure that is still there. Calmly and efficiently, the town‘s fire fighters went about their work and a few voices were raised in criticism. The ladder truck was sent back to the fire hall as soon as possible to stand by for any other alarm.

Three lines of hose drenched the inside the place with about 600 galâ€" ons of water a minute. It ran out the doors in rivers and the spray fell on drenched firemen, then frozze in icicles n their clothing. It was far from being a nice job.

The place was sheeted with metal on the inside and between the metal and the outer walls, sawdust and shavings had ben packed as insulation against the cold. The fire must have gained a good hold in there and spread right to the top of the building. At first the more serious nlaze was at the back, but in a few minutes it had worked up under the eaves at the front where it was more difficult to get at.
