When the Ontario Municipal Board visits here on May 12th, they will be asked to allow the town of Timmins permission to issue about $200,000 worth of debentures. The date for the visit was stt this week in a letter to the town from government authorities. their ore was at depth. At the time negotiations were going on between Hollinger and MciIintyre for the sale of the Schumacher property. _ Hollinger offered 25 cents a share, but the Mcâ€" ntyre directors hung out for 35 cents. That extra ten cents a share meant the deal was off. Otherwise MciIntyre might never have been a separate mine. The shaft was deepened to 1,000 feet, the ore was found, and continuous progress has Grought the mine to its present prosperous stage. In addition to McIntyre officials, a number of prominent guests were presâ€" ent, including Archdeacon Woodall of South Porcupine and Rev. Father Marâ€" tindale of Schumacher. The council believes that all the exâ€" penditures are necessary and will offer the Municipal Board a goog deal of evidence in support of their opinions. On its visit here last year the board adâ€" vised the town to clear up back taxos. This has been done and it is expected that the new expenditures will be faâ€" vourably received.

Stories about affiâ€" davits are twisted out of all meaning. The public in general, however, with the proof of the efficiency of the police before them in the law and order of town, should discount all stories, and keep in mind the danger of those driven out of illegal business profiting by slander against the police.
