The mayor and members of council agreed that it was fair enough that Mr. McLean‘s opinion should be sought. He will be consulted. The mayor stipuâ€" lated however that the town was not committing itself in any way by askâ€" ing for the opinion. Sseven or eight men who work for Mr. Leblanc, who has charge of the collection and disposition of garbage in Timmins appeared. One of them rose to say that they were doing too mucth work for the $3 a day they were receiving.

It would not have been fair, said the mayor, in view of the knowledge reâ€" ceived by the council after dealing with the Godson bid, for it to have done anything <but what it didâ€"accept the tender of Leo Mascioli. It was unforâ€" tunate for the Godson Company but it would have been unfair to the ratepayâ€" ers if the council had not reversed its decision.

Mc:Connachie fibeq was removed alleged to have told police the man would sleep for some time, and he was still in that state when, Councilior was in the cell, nor had he received even a drink of water, and he thought this a matter for some enquiry. Counâ€" cil learned Chief of Police Connelly had picked up McConnachie on Friday afternoon, August 24, apparently then under the influence of liquor. The chief, it was said, intended to release him later in the day, but found some damâ€" age had been done to the cells, whereâ€" upon McConnachie was held. In the evening, McConnachie was found to be asleep, and when he had not awakened in the morning, the chief calléd Dr. F. M.

Charges Inhuman to \Transient at Cobalt :g: 3. :? 3A In his conversation with the council Father Therriault exuded enough wit to keep the members allâ€"smiling. Once in‘"his conversation he referred to the "beautiful oil in the mayor‘s house." Father Therriault appeared with a proposition for the council. If it would give him permission and guarantee to lower the sidewalk between Pine and Spruce streets on Fifth avenue in front of St. Anthony‘s Church he would bear the cost of paving the road. He had not seen Leo Mascioli yet but believed he would be able to come to an ar- rangement with him. Said His Worship: "The Advance loves me so much it wants to keep my name in front of the public.‘" "If I can I will do all in my power," said the mayor. ‘"Two dollars a day is a shame." ‘"We give taxi licenses Why shouldn‘t we stipulate wages to be pald. It is ridiculous paying $2 a day and trying to live." The Finance Committee and Town Clerk were delegated to deal with the requests. Councillor DesRoches added that there were business men in town who had men in their offices and were not paying them enough to enâ€" able them to pay their poll taxes. ‘‘You will be able to take care of that after the election Mr. Mayor‘" said Councillor Wrear. There were several who appeared askâ€" ing for time in which to pay their poll tax.) fOpf®‘ young man said that he did not se % he was going to be able t0 tkiv: 1t.+‘He was working for Bill‘s Taxi and making only $2 a day. Out of that he had to pay ‘board, room aqd laundry. Another petitioner, representing reâ€" sidefity at the end of Elm street, asked for=â€"water connections.. ‘He was . told that‘nothing could be done because the locality â€"to which he referred was outâ€" side the town and in Tisdale township. of Cariton street, was again present. At his last appearance the council told him that representation was being made to the Municipal Board and that nothing could be done until its consent was received. He suggested yesterday that the residents trench 200 feet from the edge of the town to the locality and install water mains themselves. The suggestion was coupled with the request that the town lay main the 160â€"off feet to the town‘s boundary. Mr. MacLean, the engineer, said it would cost the town around $600 or $700.â€" Digging was bad in that section. No definite action was taken. There were the usual requests for water connections. Thomas E. Bailley, who has been a persistent visitor at council meetings asking for water «conâ€" ections for fifteen houses in the vicinity matter be left with the Contingency Con.mittee. It was not fair, he said to have the men coming to a public meeting and telling their tales of woe. Other councillors agreed and the matâ€" terâ€"was referred to that comnlittee of which Councillor DesRoches is chairâ€" nmmwmumwbe to pay his men more and come out of the red ink himself. If Mr. Leblanc would keep a set of books and a bookkeeper, said the mayor the council would know where he and it stood.
