The streets of Timmins are in good condition now and the police department are going to do everything they can to keep them in good shape. At this time of the year the roads are soft and slushy and if too heavy a load is carried it tends to crush the road foundation. It is to the truck road foundation. It is to the drivers‘ own advantage to keep roads in the best of condition. Last week and the week before there were charges of overloading in police court and yesterday two more charges were laid. One man, Arthur Dupras, living at the end of Toke street, was stopped yesterday afternoon with a load that police said was seven tons on a truck that was licensed to carry five tons. Another man, Joe Serveant, of 35 Main â€" avenue, was also charged yesâ€" terday with having a load of over two tons above the limit that his liâ€" cense allowed. Jack McDonald, 87 Hollinger Lanxne, was charged with disorderiy conduct, this morning. Two drunks were picked up last night, one a man and the other a woman. Chief of Police Leo. H. Gagnon also issued a stern warning to motorists in town this morning regarding splashâ€" ing pedestrians. He pointed out that these motorists can be charged under the Highways Traffic Act. Motorists must slow down when drivâ€" ing through any puddles of water or mud on the street, In the event of any pedestrian being splashed _ the motorist can be apprehended and made to pay the cleaning bill. The Chief of Police also asked that if any person gets splashed in that manner to take the license number of the car and they will locate ‘the driver for them. Former Member of ‘Police Feéls His Case Not Fully Understood. Officer Resigned to Ask for Hearing Before Commission Following complaints made to the Chief of Police and to members of the Police Commission, Sergt. F. Devine, and Constables J. O‘Neill and A. Harâ€" vey were requested at Tuesday night‘s meeting to put in their resignatiors from the force. The chief charge against the men was based on the suggestion of Mr. Laross, Oof the St. Charles hotel, that he had been intiâ€" midated into giving them free drinks on occasion. The men were heard in their own defence, but after hearing them the commission asked for their resignation, failing which they were to be dismissed. Denial was made by the men that there had been anything imâ€" proper, but all three admitted being in the hotel when off duty on one or more occasion and that the proprietor had asked them to "call again." There had been no suggestion of anything improper, according to the men. ‘The two constables went into the hotel with Sergt. Devine and in his statement the sergeant made this plain, while holding that he had no intention of intimiâ€" dating the hotel man or doing anyâ€" thing else improper. While the three tendered their resignations as requestâ€" ed, Constable O‘Neill intends to ask for a reâ€"hearing before the commission to clear his name. He says that he was only in the hotel once and ther only in his capacity as a private citizen and that there was no suggestion of any influence or discussion of any kind so far as h> was concerned. He had gone in with Sergt. Devine on one occasion while they were both off duty, and he had no thought that he was doing anything wrong. Tuesday night the commission apâ€" pointed Constable Ernest Gagnon 10 the rank of detective, Sergt. J. P. Downey was named acting depuly chief constable at a salary of $200 per month, duties to commence April 1st. and Serzt.
