Reasons given for the request were that the sale of wine from the store was contributing to juvenile delinquâ€" ency; that Timmins people were havâ€" ing to avoid the street where the store was located because of panhandlers asking for money with which they bought wine; that the drinking of cheap wine was contributing to the cause of such petty crime such as shoplifting. A recommendation from the Police Commission to the Council asking the appoiniment of an assistant for the Court Clerk was deferred. The Town Soliciters office wrote to advise the Council that it has the power to pass a byâ€"law ‘"limiting the excess of smoke" from institutions such (Continued from Page Six) Ask Local Wine Store Licence be Revoked by Liquor Control Board "What are you going to do about Cedar Street, South, A person can‘t get by there without being panhandled." "Our people of Timmins are avoiding that street because of that fact," said | the Councillor. He added that the wine made people irresponsible and : that people he knew on relief had been the wine." % Shoplifting was mostly done by perâ€" sons who stole in order to get money to buy wine, he suggested. Twentyâ€"five to thirty per cent of the cost of police administration was going to take care and apprehend these "goof hounds," he concluded. Conant Thanks Council A letter from the Attorneyâ€"General thanked the Council for forwarding a resolution asking that the Crirminal Code be changed to allow raffles and lotteries when the proceeds were to g( to charity. In favor of the resolution were Counâ€" cillors Armstrong, McNeil and Spooner. Against were Councillors Warren, Gauâ€" thier and McCabe. The Mayor‘s castâ€" ing vote in favor passed the resolufion. "That store is a menace to the comâ€" munity," said Councillor Armstrong. ‘"‘This cheap wine is being consumed in large quantities by those of small means I have had several complaints. One lady came in recently and said to me, Chairman of a committee appointâ€" ed to look into the matter, Councillor Bpooner reported at the meeting of the town fathers on Monday evening that the committee had been able to secure the curling rink in exchange for cancellation of taxes for the year. It would cost between $50 and $75 to inâ€" stal booths, he estimated and to covâ€" er the floor with sawdust. Cost to keep a janitor there on market days, once a week, would it about $125, said Mr. He estiâ€" mated the total cost would be abou $550, less fees charged farmers. A fee of $1 a day had been suggested. Plan: will be made more specific at a fuâ€" ture meeting. Plans will be completed in the near future to use the curling rink as a farmers‘ market for Timmins. The Council hopes to have the opening on July 15 National Festival Organizations to Meet Friday Night A meeting of all on:anizations takâ€" ing part in the National Festival is called for 7:30 p.m. in the Legion Hall on Friday July 7th. It is requested that attending committee members bring the names of their group, titles of dances, etc., for inclusion in the proâ€" grammes. Those who have been invitâ€" ed to act as judges will be made welâ€" come. Final plans will be made at this meeting for the successful carrying through of the festival, A resolution asking the Liquor Conâ€" trol Board of Ontario to revoke the licâ€" ence of the independent wine store in Timmins because of the fact that it was a demoralizing influence, was inâ€" troduced by Councillor Armstrong at the council meeting on Monday and passed by the Mayor‘s casting vote. Final Plans to ‘be Made for Big Event. Much Receive Use of Curling Rink in Exchange for Cancellaâ€" tion of Taxes. Council Can Limit Smoke Excess to Six Minutes in Hour. Timmins Bands to Draw Schedule. Council Favours Licensing Taxi Drivers. Open Produce Market in Curling Rink July 15 Resolution, Introduced by Councillor Armstrong, Passed by Mayor‘s Casting Vote. Says People Avoid Cedar Street South Because of Men Begging Money With Which to Buy Wine. Contributes to Juvenile Delinâ€" quency. 2 Ssections 14 Pages He added that as he saw the effect of revoking the wine store license to operate it would merely mean that the business would be transferred to the liquor store. He put a man on| that street for three or four days, the Inspector said. He noticed that several men along the street would ask people for money. When they got enough one would go to the store and buy some wine and they all would disappear, drink the wine and presently appear and beg more moneyv. "I hate to see a working man deâ€" prived of his drinkâ€"no matter how cheap it is" Councillor McCabe conâ€" tinued. "I would suggest that the same conâ€" ditions existed in the days of prohiâ€" bition. There were ‘alcohol hounds‘ in those days as the‘re are ‘goof hounds‘ togay" said Councillor Mcâ€" Cabe. | Well, said Councilior McNeil, he did not believe the resolution would mean that the store‘s license would be reâ€" voked but that it would be made subâ€" ject to more strict rules, so he was going to vote in facour. Even if the business was transferred to the liquor store there still would be better control, Mayor Bartleman said. The wine store would sell to anyone but at the liquor store employees would riot sell to known addicts. Asked for his opinion, Inspector Arâ€" thur Olson who was present at the meeting, said that he found that many of the men who were brought in for ging on the street had been drinking "goof" or, in some cases, even had a part bottle of wine in their pockets, Furthermore, a lot of shoplifting was done by such men.
