Under Clause in Taxi Byâ€" law All Passengers Are Covered by Insurance. The Council recently wrote to the Workmen‘s Compensation Board a.sldng a nuimber of questions. The action was taken during the time of 1940 Council‘ was discussing the matter of changing over from Sthedule 2 to Schedule 1. Under Schedule 2 the Board decides the amount of claims in the case of an accident and the money is paid by the town.. Under Schedule 1, the system under which the Town of Timmins is at present, the town pays a certain yearly amsunt to the Board and is covered, similar t» insurance. One question asked by the council was whether or not an employee had recourse to common law if dissatisfied with the decision of the Board. The answer was in the negative., Other information contained in the letier was that relief recipients who were workingz for the town would be covered by compensation in the event of an accident. The Council in 1938 was under Schedule 1. In 1939 the municipal body petitioned to be released, and although the Board did not have to grant a reâ€" lease, it did so. At Friday‘s meeting the cheque was ordered sent to the Board and the town employeées went back under Schedule 1â€"by which the town pays a yearly fee and all claims are settled and paid by the Board. Ionsurance Coverage Under a clause in the new taxi byâ€"law which soon will go into effect, all pasâ€" sengers who ride in taxi cabs will be covered by insurance. Taxi companies will have to take out insurance policies with passenger hazard insurance. The town solicitor was instructed to put such a clause into the byâ€"law. BUCNM A CI@USC UiitC UY 1@Â¥ .

Earnings are the equivalent of 81,81 per share as compared with $1.96 per share in 1938. Receipts from sales and other inâ€" come exclusive of investment income, amounted to $43,734 28962 as compared with $46850,150463 in 1938. Sales of automotive units, including shipments to subsidiary companies, totalled 62,544 the corresponding total for the previous year being 69,164. The reduction in volume of sales was principally in the domestic market, although it is pointed out in the report that sales in the last quarter of 1939 were in excess of the same period in 1938. W. R. Campbell, president, in the directors‘ report, states that the operaâ€" ting profit on the output of the Canâ€" adian factory and branches, including export shipments, was $1,334,299.069, a decrease of $633,446.57 from the amount shown in 1938. He attributes the reâ€" duction in operating profit largely to reduced sales in 1939. Profits of overseas subsidiary comâ€" panies increased from $3,081,084 in 1938 to $3,213,675 in 1939. Dividends received from these overseas companies amountâ€" ed to $2,218,214.32. The aggregate surâ€" plus accounts of these companies at the end of 1939 totalled $4,056,017.00 an increase of $827,057, after giving effect to the fall of approximately five per cent in exchange rates in 1939. Commenting on the company‘s Overâ€" seas trade Mr. Campbell states in the report: "The outbreak of war in the latter part of the year was followed| by import restrictions and exchange control regulations in practically ad, overseas markets. While the company‘s overseas trade in 1939â€"was not seriously affected by such measures it is evident. that the continued enforcement of these regulations will adversely affect this business which normally represents 42 per cent of the sales volume of the company. Representations continue to be made in an endeavor to secure more satisfactory arrangements in respect of this export trade." â€" The strong position of the company as regards working capital is indicated by current assets of $21,508,745.71, in comparison â€" with â€" current â€" liabilities amounting to $5,324,10216. Total assets of $68,698,491 are shown which include investment in shares of _ subsidia‘ry lcompanics totalling $11,632,733, an inâ€" ‘crease of $1,396,200, and plant accounts of $35,120,634. Additions to the Canaâ€" ‘dian plant during the year, consisting pxincxpallv of machinery, equipment |and p3wer producing facilities, resulted in an expenditure of $1, 765.619.38 Earned surplus increased by $1,353,010 during the year to bring the total earnâ€" ed surplus at the end of 1939 to $23,â€" 877.717.

Cancel Junk Yard License of G. B. Leblane on Friday On the recommendation of the Chief of Police, the junk yard license of G. B. Leblane was cancelled by the town council at an informal meeting heid on Friday afternocon in the private comâ€" mittee room. Chief Police Charges Has Received â€" Stolen Goods and Withheld Anformaâ€" tion. In a letter to the Council, the Chief of Police stated: "During the past years Mr. Leblanc has been known to receive stolen goods from juveniles and from other criminals. Directly and indirectâ€" ly he harbours stolen property. "HMe never at any time coâ€"operated with this department or attempted to do so. "In February I warned Mr. Leblan: that I would recommend cancellation of his license if he did not stop dealing in stolen goods or withholding informaâ€" tion regarding the same. "Shortly afterwards we had a breakâ€" in at the TImperial Oil Company and several hundreds of dollars worth of \tires stolen. Mtr. Leblanc was inâ€" ,tcrvicwcd and stated that he did not know anything about the same. "I have an affidavit on file taken from a lccal citizen to the effect that Leblanc told him where to buy brand new tires at very low prices. Those tires we later found to be stolen tires from the Inperial Oil Company." On those grounds the Chief of Police, Leo H. Gagnon, asked cancellation of Mr. Loblane‘s license. Said Councillor Eyre: "Well gentleâ€" men you have to support your Chief of Police." "I wouldn‘t give him a license and furthermore, I would give him but thirty ilays to clean up that junk he has strewn over his yard down there," said Councillor McDermott. Roberts and should also be cleaned uj "We want that section of Wilso avenue cleaned up so we can put gravel walk along there if we want to said Mr. McDermott. The place on the other side of the road was just as bad, said Councillor Roberts and should also be cleaned up. "We want that section of Wilson avenue cleaned up so we can put a Apropos of "messes," Mr. Eyre called attention of members of Council to a shack at the corner of Kirby Avenue and Spruce Street. He described the shack as portable and set up on sawâ€" horses. It was set out on the public street a distance of ten or twelve feet, he said and had a stove pipe protruding through the wall. It was a fire hazard as well as an eyesore on the scenery. A motion cancelling Leblane‘s license was passed. Included in the motion was a stipulation that he clean up his }premises and remove the litter of junk there within thirty days. Newsreel Showing Troops in France Puzzles Toronto Toronto, April 6â€"For ten or fiftecni fleeting seconds in the middle of a. newsreel film, Ontario theatre screens during the past month have flashed a slimpse of military activity that has alert patrons puzzled. The film seâ€" quence shows a shipload of Canadian troops arriving in Frante. Preceded by the subâ€"title: "A French Port â€" iCanadian Troops Arrive in France with Their Leader," the seâ€" quence shows Majorâ€"General A. G. Mzâ€" Naughton on a ship in a French port, with apparently hundreds of Canadian troops. ; Officials of the Empireâ€"Universal| | Films Limited, distributors of the n(‘Ws= ‘reel film, said the scene had occasioned mild surprise when it was screened beâ€" | fore release, but as it had passed cenâ€" ‘shorship they thought no more of it. | "I would imagine the troops comprise : only a detail from headquarters staff who accompanied General McNaughtou' to France last February," said A. W. Perry, general manager of the company. "The film gives such a brief glimpse of them it is impossible to estimate their numbers, but it seems reasonable to believe that a number of men‘ would be taken along by the senior ofâ€" ‘ficers to make arrangements for future lestablishment of a Canadian headâ€" in France." It was recalled by the officials that, lat the time of General McNaughton‘s: ) |visit to France, news despatches from1 lParis had told of the arrival of thei | "first contingent‘" on French soil, but |that these reports had been subseâ€" ;‘ quently denied by the British War Office, | Germany Has New Manager Picked Out for Noranda Mimes Change to ‘be Made "When Germany â€" Takes Over Canada."
