During his residence in Timmins he has taken an active and able interest in every community effort in the North. While the fire department was his chief thought in life, he tcok active interest in all lines of wholesome sport and enâ€" tertainment. and was noted as a friend of the 5ounfl people. He was one of the firs}t presidents of the Timmins Citâ€" iz>ns‘ Band after being active in its crganization.

A brother of the late Alex Borland resides in London. In addiâ€" tion five grandchildren, Irene, Mildred, Frances, Helen and Elizabeth, are left to mourn. To these and to all the near relatives and friends the deepest symâ€" pathy is extended in the deep loss there is in the death of a man like Alex Borâ€" land. The late Chief Borland served with the Seventh Pusiliers Battalion during the Riel Rebellion, and retained to the end his interest in the soldiers, and he also kept to the last his fine soldiery bearing.
