Councillor Laporte had opened the cvemman "I discussed very fully the requests of the council«with the board," the mayor said, "The chairman of the school board was there also. The board took under consideration all matters except the matter of waterworks. In order to proâ€" tect large buildings such as the huspital, a byâ€"law could be passed under local improvements and the byâ€"law would be approved, the board said. But they would not do that with the request of the school board for $75,000 nor the requests for streets. On the question of whether it was not advisable to conâ€" sider the use of the public school inâ€" stead of building a new town hall they were very favourably impressed. It would save the ratepayers of Timmins fifty or sixty thousand dollars. Now I‘m only quoting the chairman of the Muniâ€" cipal board." It was the first the members of t council had heard of the proposition officially.

"As I see it," he said, "the whole council should have been invited. We must decide as a council as to whether we are going to do the work or not. T‘d like to have met the board, I know." "In answer to that, Councillor Laâ€" porte," said the mayor, "I would say that it‘s not the custom of the board to issue invitations to anyone. I unâ€" derstand they send an ad. to a local paper advising that they were sitting here on a certain date and at a certain time. It‘s up to those who are interâ€" ested to come. I wasn‘t advised. They don‘t mind whether vou come or not." Mr. Laporte later said that in the end, the decision as to what was to be done would be left with the council, in ariy case. Dr. Day Absent All the members of the council exâ€" cept Dr. Day were present when the municipal board meeting was discussed. The dector had been called out just previous to that time.

"No," answered the mayor. *"They also expressed an opinion that we‘d have a better chance with them about paving the street on local improvement than on general rate.

Tax notices for the year have been set out by the town and taxpayers would do well to note the conditions in reâ€" gard to payment of taxes. The notices sent out contain all the requirements and observance of the rules will save taxpayers money as well as annoyance. The taxes are due and payable in two equal instalment$, the first instalment being payable on or before May 28th. The second instalment is due on Sept. 3ard. If an instalment is not paid when due there is a penalty of 4 per cent. added. To avoid this penalty the payâ€" ment of the instalments when due should be carefully watched. . Any who are able to do so would do well to pay [;oth instalments at the time of paying the first. In this way there is no danâ€" ger of forgetting or overlooking the second payment and thus incurring the penalty of four per cent. for nonâ€" payment. The more taxes that are paid in early the less money the town will have to pay out in interest charges, so by paying instalments at the time Tax Notices for the Year Have Been Sent Out.

Cheques must be marked and made payable to the town of Timmins. May 28th is the last day for the paying of the first instalment without penalty, and Sept. 3rd for the second â€"instalment without penalty. One paragraph on the notices is worth particular notice by those liable to tax. It reads as follows:â€" "If first instalment of business tax is not paid on or before May 28th, 1936, the full amount of said taxes for the current year will automatically become due and payable forthwith and steps will be taken immediately to enforce payment of same."

By the report in another column of the proceedings of council mseting it will be seen that the grandiose real estate scheme presented by Mayor Barâ€" tleman and Roy Dunbar to the Railâ€" way and Municipal Board on Tuesday has never been passed on by council It was a surprise to the council that the mayor should take such action without the matter being formally brought beâ€" fore the council and dealt with. As Councillor Laporte said, such a matter concerned council as a whole and must be dealt with by the council to be efâ€" fective. Nominations at the cluy were held a couple of weeks ago but no election was necessary for the officers. Directors were elected at the club mseting held last night at the Daffodil tea room in Schumacher. A company of three men intend to establish in Timmins a slaughterhouse, it was learned at council yesâ€" terday. Claiming that meat from tuâ€" berculous cattle was being sold in the town, Omer Gauthier asked the counâ€" cil that they appoint at once a meat inspector ang that the town establish a@ slaughterhouse of its own, op@rated on principles similar to those under which the Toronto municipal places do. It develops that the question has been equally "sprung‘"" on the puwalic school board. To The Advance yesterday W. Rinn, chairman of the finance comâ€" mittee of the public school board, the head of the committee that would be chiefly concerned in any question of sale or buying, said that the question had not been seriously considered by the board. It had on one occasion been casually mentioned and some discusâ€" sion may have taken place but it was not officially considered, nor even offiâ€" clally before the board. The Citizens league had heard that the slaughterhouse was to be operated by a private individual, Mr. Gauthier said. We found it wouldn‘t be advisâ€" able. The public wouldn‘t get the serâ€" vice they‘re entitled to," he told the council. The mayor explained that the man opsrating the slaughterhouse would be licensed by the town. "If anything like what you suggest happened, the license would be cancelled. The only difference is that he‘s financing the building" of the slaughterhouse. Supâ€" posing the municipality did put a man in charge of its own place then he could favour certain psople just the same as a private owner could.

He estimmated that the property was worth at least $250,000, perhaps $300.000 so far as the public school supporters were concerned, and there would be no sense or justice in selling it a cent below $250,000. Of course, these figures are so far from those quoted by Mayor Bartleman at the council yesterday that they emâ€" phasize the fact that no such scheme should have beon given public mention, let alone submission to the Railway Board, without first being submitted to the school board and council and thoroughly considered from all angles. Mayor Bartleman referred council to a meeting between the school board and council. There is a lot more necesâ€" sary before the matter is allowed to go any further. It is a matter for the pulsjlic and the school supporters to have decided upon before any action taken. On its surface it looks like a good scheme to avoid, with all its posâ€" sibilities in the way of real estate deals. Italy‘s withdrawal from the League of Nations may throw the whole of Europe into conflict, it was believed in some quanters toâ€"day. ginger J. D.

Alex Stuart added some complaints to those already cited by Mr. Gauthier and in the end, the council decided to take up as soon as possible the proposâ€" al of appointing a meat inspector. The Board of Health had recommended that very action a year previously, it was learned. Amengd Building Law The first amendment to the new building and zoning byâ€"law was passed in council. It makes it possible for people who have building permits datâ€" ed previous to January lst, 1936, to act on them, regardless of the present la w. The motion adopting the amendment was made by Councillor Laporte and siconded by Councillor McDermott. "I think this should have beren «disâ€" cussed by the council before being inâ€" troduced," the mayor objected. "We‘ve discussed it two or three times at mestings," Mr. Laporte replied.
