Drunk Given Three Months for Third Offence. Other Cases Adjourned. Public Vehicle Charge Against Guy The price of liquor took a decided jump in .poiice court on Tuesday aiâ€" ternoon as Magistrate Atkinson imâ€" posed two fines of $100 each on Doris Desrosiers and Tony Krajc, charged with illegal possession. : Elm street north where Krajc was picked up, was declared a public place. under the L.C.A. some months ago. Despite the fact that ‘Mr. Langdon soughtâ€"to impress the court with the fact that his client had just raturned from the Old Country and had taken a room at the prohibited address only a few days before, the magistrate smilingly disagreed and the fine of "one ceniury" or the customary alterâ€" native of three morths in the district "jug" was levied. Mr. Langdon conâ€" tended that it was the duty of liquor stocre officials to see that Krajc could not buy liquor to be taken to an adâ€" dress that had been declared a public place. Desrosiers pleaded guilty to the charge and his premises at 12 Way avenue were declared a public place for a period of one year. W. O. Langdon appeared as counsel for Krajc and asked for the minimum fine, expecting that a nominal assessâ€" ment of $10 and cocts would be imâ€" posed. Th» magistrate however pointâ€" ed out that the minimum was $100 and refused to accept an amended plea of guilty to consuming. The house at 111 Thomas Lyons, who admitted being second offender for intoxication, will have to raise $50 and ~costs or go down for thirty days. A charge of keeping liquor for sale against Arnold Chabut and a charge of having liquor without permit against Laureat Dubeau, were ‘adjournâ€" ed to next week‘s court. A charge of being drunk in charge of a~car against Joseph Cecchini~was adâ€" jeurned for a week at the request of the â€"accused. Bail of $1000 was reâ€" newed. Charles Ellison, a third offender on a drunk charge, will spend the next three months as a guest at Haileybury jail, without beirg given the option of a fine. Albano Andrigetti pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct and was fined $10 and costs. Vehicle Charge Dismissed A charge against Guy Greco of operâ€" ating a vehicle as a carrier of pasâ€" sengers without a license, was dismissed by the magistrate in a formal judgâ€" ment, which was reserved two weeks ago. The magistrate pointed out in making his decision that the group of men who called themselves corâ€" poration of joint owners had not held themselves out to condutt a general passenger and express business but had confined it to certain men employed at Paymaster Mine. Commenting on the fact that two of the men who were found by police to be riding in the truck had not signed as joint owners or paid the $10 necessary to ‘become such, the magistrate drew attention to the fact that these men intended to do so but were waiting a decision with regard to a joint license. ‘ Given Thirty Days William MacGregor was found guilâ€" ty of theft and senterced to thirty days in jail, J. Casey swore that afâ€" ter being awakened at two o‘clock in the morning he had found MacGregor in a wash room in possession of a pair of trouse;s that had been taken from his room. A fellow roomer corrobprated the evidence and a conviction was reâ€" corded despite the fact that accused declared that he had not been on that floor of the rooming house that night.

Due to the suddenness of her death, her relatives .were unable to be with her at the last. Miss Ramsden, formerly residing in Toronto, took up her ccurse for nursâ€" ing in the Toronto Sitk Children‘s Hospital, later coming to Iroquois Falls. Surviving Miss Ramsden is her father, Mr. J. G.

It is a much better system than the old one in that it saves the country money in transportation of the claimants to the various examining centresâ€"in the case of Timmins and district, Toronto is the closest centre for this purpose. It also saves the claimant two or three days of lost time, and in several cases this has been a loss to the employer also on account of the porson‘s absence.

Many Activities by the Ladies‘ Auxiliary Better Business Club _ Credit Control The regular meeting of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion was helda on Monday right in the Legion hall wi‘th a good attendance of memâ€" bers present. Final arrangements were made for the Valentine dance which the Ladies Auxiliary is to hold in the Oddfellows‘ hall on Monday, FPebruary 14th, and it was also decided that every Tuesday afternoon the members would meet at the Legion hall for the new Sewing Club they are sponsoring. On Tuesday, February 15th, this Sewing Club meeting will take the form of a shower. Plans were discussed for the soecial evening which the Auxiliary are holding in the Legion hall on Monâ€" day, February <21st, and all members and their friends are invited. And Timmins Only Uses 47 Gallons per Capita (Sault Star) Perhaps you can explain why the Sault uses 103 gallons of water per anum per head of the population, whereas Sudbury‘s per capita consumpâ€" tion is only 71 gallons. This is only one of theâ€" interesting bits of information to be gained from the section on "waterworks" in the report. of. the..Ontario..Department .of, Municipal Affairs. The Sault, for inâ€" stance, pumps 885,013,000 gallons of water per year, has 49 miles of mains, 5,068 water services, of which 2,232 are metered, and hMas 283 hydrants. Sewing Club Sponsored by Timmins Ladies‘ Auxilâ€" ilary. Is the answer to be found in the fact that people in Sudbury take itheirs straight, while Sault people are not so hardy? + Or is the explanation that Sault pecple take more baths than those of the Nickel City? A new member, Mrs. Poits, was addâ€" ed to the list of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, and after a successful meeting the members departed for their homes, all eagerly looking forward to the coming activities. The Sauit had, too, in 1936, a deficit of $310 on its waterworks depantment, after all charges had been met. This is explained by the fact that the deâ€" partment has still $552,341 in debenâ€" tures stil outstanding. These debenâ€" tures will be paid for the most part in 1945, and after that there will ‘be clear sailing. However, $310 is not a very large deâ€" ficit and is easily forgotten when the record of tha Public Utilities Commisâ€" sion as a whole, including both light and water depaatmen'ts is considered The P. U. commmission was able to turn over to the city last year $35,000 in lieu of taxes. In addition it has a reserve of $125,000 in government bonds on which to call if, as and when exâ€" tensiscns or repairs are required. Not a bad record.

Asks Information Considerable discussion took place with regard to credit risks in general and a suggestion to advertise bad debts for sale was dealt with at considerable length. Several features of this plan were found to be, impractical for the time being at least and at the suggesâ€" tion of J. Parker it was decided to apâ€" point a board to pass on credit risks, with a representative from each line of business. The board will hold their meetings a few days before the month; ly meeting of the club and their findâ€" ings will be presented to the general gathering of members.

Some weeks ago The Advance made detailed reference to the response of the Premier of Ontario and his Cabinet to the resolutions from the North preâ€" sented by the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade at Queen‘s Park Toâ€" ronto. â€" The attitude of Premier Hepâ€" burn on all the resolutions was disâ€" appointing to the North, and this has been made plain in subsequent issues of The Advance. The one resolution originating in Ccochrane has had repercussions in that| town. This resolution related to t,hel lignite fields north of Cocnrane. The Cochrane Board of Trade asked that steps should be taken to have these fields developed at once. The answer| of Premier Hepburn recently was to the effect that the lignite fields were not of commercial value so far as inâ€" vestigation showed to aaie, and that for the present the government had no intention of doing anything about the lignite fields. Cochrane Board of Trade does not apparently intend to accept this without some form of further questioning. The Cochrane Board of Trade had a meeting last week at which the matter came up for review and for further questioning.â€" The Cochrane Board of Trade at this meeting pointed out that there was a favourable report on the lignite fields from the Ontario Research Foundation. "What about this report?" is the question asked by Cochrane. The Foundation suggested the expenditure of further money to experiment with the lignite fields. The Foundation, after careful investigation, believed this to _ be well worth while. Who has a different report after the same aczcount of investigation and with the same authority in such matters? A despatch from Cochrane, reporting the meeting of the Board of Trade, SsaVs :â€"â€" "Since the premier stated that tests had shown the lignite to be of no comâ€" mercial value as against the present coal supplies, but migh® later prove of value, the Cechrane Board of Trade are requesting that they be informed what further reports and tests have been made to charge :the report of the Fcundation. "The boeard will also suggest that the sgcvernment, in view of the premier‘s statement that they will not develop the lignite fields at present, should throw the fields open for private interâ€" ests to develop. "At the same meeting a letter was read from the minister of agriculture intimating that he would make a visit to the Cochrane district either in late spring or early summer and the Board of Trade are arranging for his recepâ€" tion. The minister intimated his visit will be longer than his former trip and the board will plan for a close study of agricultural problems."
