The Town of Timmins has received formal notice of ‘appeal by the Bartle« man Townsite owners from the judgâ€" ment of His Honour Judge Danis in the case of the recent arbitration proâ€" ceedings. The Bartlieman ~Townsite owners asked for a million dollars damâ€" ages for the damages resulting to the townsite by the town expropriating lands: for streets in ~the townsite. Mr. Joe Hisko Jr., left on for Toronto, where he will report for Messrs Pete and Bte called at the weekâ€"end 8 $ 9 lather there. Appeal Entered in Bartleman Townsite Arbitration Case Ten Reasons for Appéal Set Forth in Notice. The Townsite also asked: for 22 cents a foot for the land expropriated, and also for other damages and costs alâ€" leged to have resulted. . The Town ofâ€" fered 11 cents_per foot for the land exâ€" propriated on the advice of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, and disâ€" claimed cther liability.. When the case came‘ before Judge Danis, the claim for 4 million dollars was withdrawn and another for $70,000° substituted. After much evidence. had been submitted and carefully considered Judge Danis some weeks ago released his judgment, which awarded $15,283.00 for the land exproâ€" priated, allowed no damages, and â€"asâ€" sessed all costs against the Townsite. The amount awarded for theâ€"land was practically <~the same as the town. ofâ€" fered at 11 cents per foot. . The notice of: appeal gives ten reaâ€" gons for the appeal of the judgment. These reasons in effect are that the learned Judge failed to take into conâ€" sideration * the â€"damages â€"done: to the property through the expropriation and‘ that the award is insufficient in regard to the evidence ard the weighb of eviâ€" dence. : Calls in Wee No Serious Fires, but a Few Unusual Calls. > ~ Fire Department The appeal will be heard at Toronto, and it will not likely come béfore the courts before the latter .part of next month. During the pust week Timmins Fire ept. answered eight calls none of them for seriow; fires, though some of them might have been bad enough without : the prompt work of the : firemen. Stoveâ€" pipes and chimneys give the chief wark for the firemen these days, but the odd fire call has an original twist that makes t interesting. «For example on Monâ€" day the firemen had a call to 75%%: 5ith, ivenue. Gas was escaping all through the building anparently but . though there was smoke, there was no fire, exâ€" sept in the furnace.. The firemen Jloâ€" sated the trouble. The chimney was plugged and the gas was seeping' through the building. Another outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€" ordinary afiair was t.he call yesterday to 24 Southem avenue. ‘ The ¢cHimney Had no cleanâ€"out and stuff had conected in the lowerlpart of the chimney and took fire. The own. er of the place was advised to add â€"a cleanâ€"out to his chimney and so avoid the danger of another, and perha.ps more serious fire. j PHONE 327 A TALL STORY One of our big game hunters tells the follewing story of what happened in the neighbourhood of Chalet Lake when he ghnot a moose. moose.â€" My aim was perfect, as the ‘f was hunting on the north side of Chalet Lake, and had my favourite rifle of which I am very proud,. and with a "What was thatâ€"thunder or bombs?" asked one.

Friday last the firemen had a call to Leo ‘Bouchard‘s garage on Wilson aveâ€" nue.

Their repertoire consists of baMroom dancing, tap and acrobatic routines and a spectacular Russian. dance. The Legion is to be complimented in being able to bring these highly talented dancers to the Porcupine for its Legion "V" Celebraâ€" tion. The young set are doing their share of war work in Canada these days, working in offices, running and pinchâ€"hitting in countless other positions where ycung men have gone into the Armed Services or into war industry.
