In the notes in regard to golf as pubâ€" lished in The Advance of September 1923, reference was made to the fact that Mrs. Digby Grimsg:on won the first _flight in the ladies‘ glf and Mrs. J. ?" Heppleston the second fliight. At the previous week‘s play the weather inâ€" terfered with the attendance but a . number enjoyed the golf despite the weather. On that occasion Mrs. J. A | Howse won. the first flight. In commenting on the fact that Coâ€" chrane had provided itself with an excellent domestic water supply through the sinking of deep wells of the artesian type, The Advance«twenty years ago suggeted that it might have been said in congratulating Cochrane on its enterprise that it would have been better if the action had been taken before and not after Cochrane had sufâ€" fered an epidemic through bad water. Timmins, however, was in no situation to make any such suggestion as long as Timmins apparently disregarded the advice of its responsible officials just as Cochrane had done before the epiâ€" demic.. What The Advance referred to in this connection was the delay in the purchase by Timmins of motor fire truck equipment after the necessity for the same had been strongly urged upon the council. This was evidently waitâ€" ing for a disaster to emphasize the need in this particular, so could make no Twenty years ago The Advance noted that two of the banks in town were preparing to occupy permanent quarâ€" ters.

On the trip up, the train halted at Englehart for one hour to allow the premier to lay the cornerâ€"stone of the new town hall, to the pediment of which the Lieutenantâ€"Governor contributed $100; Mr. Ferguson expressed his full conâ€" fidence in the future of Northern Ontâ€" The annual report for the Mcintyre Porcupine Mines, Ltd., as issued twenty vears ago, showed that minz@ to be in splendid condition. â€" There was a milâ€" lion increase in ore reserves despite inâ€" creased production dunng the year ending ‘July 31st, 1923.

It was explained to the council by the firm tendering that the labour shortage made it impossible to make a straight figure fir the contract, and had it been possible to give an ordinary tender, the figure for the contract, and had it bet much â€"more than it was thought the work would cost. Two readings of a byâ€"law for the construction of the needed sedimentation tank were given and the expenditure was then submitâ€" ted to the Ontario Mundcipal Board for approval. If the approval is given, it is intended to meet the costs by isâ€" suing tenâ€"year debentures at The following were among the local and personal notes in The Advance twenty years ago:â€" "Messrs.
