In this stand, the mine was upheld by Judze Denis, District Judge, who held that the town could not exercise its taxing powers beyond the municipal limits. This judgment was recently appealed by the town of Timmins and a wire was received last week to the effect that the court of appeal at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, hag reversed the judgment of the District Judge, angq that the Pamour, though situated outâ€" side of Timmins, is obliged to pay over to town the. anount. of poll tax levied on Pamour employees who reside in Tinmins. Belicving that the law conferred the right upon tlre municipality, the town of Timmins has sent to mines in neighbouring municipalities a list of poll tax accounis for men employed at the mines but residing in Timmins and liable for the poll tax here.

Reports toâ€"day give his genâ€" eral condition as very good, but there is danger that he may lose an eye. He walked some distance from the scene of the accident himself and did' not lose consciousness at any time. He! is under the care of specialists at St. Mary‘s hospital where he was hurried after the accident.
