But with the car gone over a week and without a single word coming from the man who took the car, it cerâ€" tainly seems that the car is gone forâ€" ever. A local man finds himself in an unâ€" usual and undesirable situation. On July 10th he loaned his car to a man he knew. The understanding was that the man was to use the car looking for a job, but that the car in any case was to be returned in a few hours. lt was not returned. As a matter of fact, it has not been returned to date, and is not likely to be returned. It is doubtâ€" ful if the car is even in Canada. There is good reason to believe that the car is not in Canada at the present time. When the car had gone some hours past the time agreed upon in regard to the borrower looking for a job, the owner of the car complained to the poâ€" lice, but there was little they could do about it, except to warn him not to loan his car to anyone, especially someone who did not seem to be a person who would return the car. The man admitâ€" ted that he hagq set no particular time for the return of the car, that he had been perfectly willing to let the man have the car for a time, that he gaye the fellow the key of the car, and so 1 charee of them eanild not ho mainâ€" en in es ie ieR it it ism isnn cce omm un omm VA 4A N Nt CSEAAA ts $3 NNZ A 4 W C of coupons, these c deemable on accoun!

A. F‘. Day were presâ€" i ent. Much Hinges on Decision P. C. Finlay, of Toronto, representea the Hollinger and Dean Kester the 'municipality, in an argument that [touched the history of the assessment and mining acts as well as the intenâ€" ftion of the legislature and the technical }points in the wording of the acts under debate. In all probability, the case will lamount to a test for all the big mines | 1 | Warning Against Loaning Motor Cars Local Man Allowed Acâ€" quaintance to Take Car and now Mourns the Loss of the Car. History of Arts Mr. Finlay opened the discussion with a review of the legislation, under which, he said, it was not the intention of the provincial legislature that mines should bear a double taxation. "The two secâ€" tions of the mining tax act and assessâ€" ment act not only were but are meant to be so that the mines would not be paying a double tax," he said, "the mines have been, from the inception of the act, different than ordinary cases. At no time have the buildings, plant, machinery or equipment been assessâ€" able by the municipalities." In 1907, when mining was beginning to assume important proportions, Mr. (Continued on Page Eight) Hollinger will carry the fight to a \higher court, in an effort to have the $75,000 income tax bill presented them by the town reduced by about $25,000. !The town took the meaning of the Mining Act, this year, to mean that "they coulq assess the mine for 1 1â€"2 per cent. of its profits up to a total tax of $35,000, then 2 1â€"2 per cent. on |anything over that. Hollinger‘s profits last year, according to the town‘s figâ€" lures. amounted to $3,973,142.71. On of this, they charged 1 1â€"2 per cent. On the remainder 2 1â€"2 per cent. In previous years they had charged 1 1â€"2 per cent. un the two and a third million dollars, and only 1 per lcent. on the remainder. i Hollinger Reads Act Differein‘ly _ takes the reading o¢t the Act to mean that they should pay as they have in the past and as all other mines have since 1927 when the alterâ€" ation was made to allow municipalities more than $35,000 income tax from big \mines. This year, Timmins decided that the Act meant 2 1â€"2 per cent. on all profit over two and a third million dolâ€" lars, The mine objected and on Wedâ€" nesday the Court of Revision met to |hear the Hollinger‘s appeal. The motion that sustained the asâ€" sessment so far as the town is conâ€" cerneg was made by J. H. Chateauvert and sceconded by Dr. E. A. F. Day. The discussion between the Town of Timmins and Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines went into the first round on Wednesday afternoon when the Court of Revision of the town sustained the assessor‘s view of the assessment and mining acts. Published at Timmine, Ont., Canada, EKvery MONDAY and THURSDAY Ihe Power Co. aiso intends to pubâ€" lish the names of all those who have deposits lying in the offices of the comâ€" pany but whose services have been disâ€" As the interest is computed from the time the deposit was received, this will mean a nice "dividend" to many light and power customers who havy» been customers for long terms of vears. During the vast few weeks there have been a number of discussions on various matters between the mayor, the fire and light committee ang representaâ€" tives of the Northern Ontarin Power Co. At a meeting of these some days ago, B. V. Harrison, viceâ€"president and general â€" manager, announced some plans that have been worked on for some time by the company to give cusâ€" tomers greater convenience and the best possible service. Just as the plan has been to reduce the rates to the fullest extent justified by the earnings of the company, so it is the aim also to give the best service in every way to the customer, changes and improveâ€" ments being made as soon as warrantâ€" ed. Although Mr. Harrison did not say that a further reduction in rates was on the way, it is understood that earnâ€" ings continue very satisfactory and it is the decided plan of the company to give the public the advantage of inâ€" creased earnings and improved busiâ€" ness, At the present moment, however, there are important changes to be made by the company. Interest is now being computed on deposits held by the company, the comâ€" putations being made to Dec. 31st, 1934, and this interest will be paid to the customers concerned in the form of coupons, these coupons being reâ€" deemable on accounts due or in cash.

The lot was the forâ€" mer site of an ice house an in some way or other, the sawdust caught fire. Chemical was used to put it out that night but next morning another call rame in from the same place. This time, the fire had spread out under the surâ€" face. A line was laid and the fire floodâ€" ed out so that there was no possibility o#f it starting up again. continued, The total amount of these ;is not largeâ€"only $1300 for Timmins and only about $3400 for the whole system. The company would, however. be pleased to get rid of these amounts. \They are cases where service has been i stopped without the deposit being liftâ€" led or taken up by amounts due the company. The company requires the deâ€" fposit simply to protect itself from those | who may not pay, and in cases where the deposit is not returned the comâ€" pany simply carries it on its books.

Walter Little, wellâ€"known citizen of Kirkland Lake, and one of the real pioneers of the North, was the choice of the South Temiskaming Liberal Asâ€" sociation at their convention in Kirkâ€" land Lake to choose a candidate for the coming Dominion election. Some months ago a convention chose Col. Mac Lang as theirâ€"candidate, but obâ€" Jection was taken to the arrangements for the convention and the way it was carried through and this coupled with the general desire that Col. Mac Lang devote his time and energies to his position as chairman of the T. N. O. Railway commission, resulited eventuâ€" ally in Col. Mac Lang resigning as canâ€" didate and a new convention being called. At the convention at Kirkland Lake yesterday there were a number of names brought forward including J, A. Legris of Haileybury, who was runnerâ€"up at the last convention; Brigâ€" adierâ€"General Swift, of Dane; M. G. Hunt, of Kirkland Lake; Nelson Green, New Liskeard.

Every MONDAY and THURSDAY Eli Leblanc, who has the scavenger‘s contract with the town, will be asked to appear at next Wednesday‘s meeting of the council to present his case for a higher monthly allowance. Mr. Leâ€" blance claims that the job is much heavâ€" ier than when the contract was made, and since he has had to put on another team, he feels that an increase over the contract price woulg be fair. No Action on Meat Byâ€"Law No action was taken on the proposed meat byâ€"law, but arrangements are at present under way with the Vipond, whereby the town will be permitted to buy a strip of the Vipond‘s property out near the incinerator. This will be used for the building of a pen and a slaughter house. Dog Pound Moved The dog pound has been moveq again. For the past few months stray canines have been kept at Eli Leblane‘s on Mountjoy street, but residents in the district complained of the howling of the animals at night, so they‘re back at the incinerator now.

Indeed, there is a growâ€" Ing tendency throughout all Ontarion to have this particular day as civic holiday. Last year the first Monday in August was generally observed as a civic holiday, and the uniformity proved of general advantage and convenience. Already this year Monday, August 5th, has been declared civic holiday by the township of Tisdale and North Bay also is ~observingâ€"the same ~date.
