Several Theft Cases Against A. Cerenzio «Every year since there has been roads in the North there has been trouble from serious damage to the roads during the spring break-up. Frosts have made the roadways soft and spongy and at that time an extra heavy load would do much damage to the roads. Each year appeal has been made for co-operation from the public in the way of not using the roads too soon or with loads too heavy. The Highways Department in recent years has tried to help the situation by en- forcing regulation in regard to weight of loads to be carried, speed. etc. In a notice elsewhere in this issue the Northern Division of the Department of Highways calls attention of the public to the fact that frost action in April and May causes road beds to get soft and readily subject to damage from traffic, and asks the co-operation of all in the matter, appeal being made (specially to truck owners and operatâ€" ors. It, is noted that all trucks in these two months are limited to half-loads and a- speed not to exceed 20 miles per hour. Horse-drawn vehicles, capacity one ton, 250 lbs. per inch of tires. The weight of loads and speed of trucks and cars will be constantly checked. the notice says. adding that the penâ€" alty for overloading is a fine or imâ€" prisonment, or both, with the liability to have permits suspended. The full- est oo-operation of all is earnestly sought, by the Department in the gen- eral interests. Albert Cerenzia, who already is fac- ing several charges of breaking and en- tering and theft, had an additional charge laid against him over the week- end. Jointly with E. Dimick he was charged with breaking and entering a room in the Three Star Hotel. Another joint charge against ithe pair was that of breaking into a locker in the baseâ€" ment; of the same hotel and stealing a suitcase.

South Porcupine In the estimates tabled in the House of Commons last week were two items of special ”interest in the North. One was for $35,500 for South Porcupine and the- other $27,000 for Kapuskas- inxg. Both were marked for “public buildings.” In each case the “public building" will be a new post office, both towns being badly in need of this public accommodation. So rapid has been the growth of South Porcupine in recent years that the need for any ade- quate post office building there is very apparent. It is hoped to have the building at South Porcupine started this year and carried along to com- pletion.
