{ t meeting, some of them easily contenâ€" tious, but the acting mayor showed such tact and patience that the session was a very harmonious one, despite deâ€" cided differences of opinion, ' oOne matter that created much disâ€" cussion was the request of a committee "of Frenchâ€"speaking residents to be pers.â€" mitted to sell maple leaf souvenirs on street on St. Jean Baptiste Day. Bome of the council felt that this perâ€" mission would upset the arrangement under which the Timmins Welfare * Federation functions with the express purpose of limiting tag days, Acting Mayor Spooner pointed out that the Federation plan had been adopted folâ€" lowing complaint of many at the unâ€" usual number of tag days in town. "One every pay day," commented one counâ€" cillor. "And some in between," was another comment. There wereâ€" only four â€" tag ‘days now allowed, and if another request were granted it would open the way to a return to the old and unsatisfactory plan,. Spokesman for the committee and Councillor Bonâ€" homme both pointed out that the Welâ€" fare Federation was organized for charitable and patriotic organizations. St. Jean Baptiste Day was the national day of French Canada and was observed al over the Dominion. It was naâ€" tional in the same way that the Naâ€" tional Institute for the Blind or th(. ~*Boyâ€"Scoute were :nabional. > mncmor Borhmme thought the council would do well to grant the request. for the committee said that the maple leafs would ‘be sold only to those who wished to buy to wear them in honour of the day,. .Councillor Eyre thought that if the maple leafs were sold only to Frenchâ€"Canadians the case was not like an ordinary tag day where all were approached. (Acting Mayor Spooner suggested that the emblems might be sold at the church doors withâ€" out contravening the town regulations and also he was of the opinion that no permission was necessary from the town to sell such emblems in local business places. The regulations did not extend to private property, Counâ€" cillor Bonhomme proposed a motion that the permission be given but as this motion did not get a seconder the matter was dropped. The members present at the meeting were the acting mayor and Councillors Gladstone, Eyre, McDermott and Bonâ€" At the regular meeting of the Timâ€" mins town council on Monday Councillor J. W.

It was all right so long as the town could take over the property whenever the need arose. The question of coal sheds permitted when there was danger of coal shortage was referred to Councillors Eyre, Bonâ€" homme and McDermott to investigate and see if such sheds, not needed now were being continued in use. The J. 0. C. was granted permission to use the Timmins Park for a picnic on July 30th.

The acting mayor said that ha , was not interested in any anniversary numbers but a mining edition was a different matter.

Councillior Eyre told Council that there had been a lifeguard at Gillies Lake since May 24th, on a part time basis and under ‘the direction of Fire Chief Stanley. to Councillor Eyre for a report and reâ€" oommendation A letter signed by 15 property owners called attention to the extremely low water pressure on Railroad street. The pressure was so low that it was not enough for gardens or homes, to say nothing of fire protection. On the suggestion of Councillor Gladstone the question was referred to the Chairman of the Fire and Light and Waterworks Comumittees. In the Fire Chief‘s report for the month reference was made to the value of the ‘boat purchased for lifeâ€"saving work. Councillor Gladstone asked if the town had the latest and best in the way of lifeâ€"saving equipment. If not he would urge that the. most modern equipment of this kind be. secured. â€" Fire Chief Stanley in reply to quesâ€" tion said that the town had good equipâ€" ment of this kind and that in addition all the equipment at the Miness Rescue station was available in case of need.

Five residents of Birch Street south of the track wrote in regard to improveâ€" ments in their section. They had no roads, walks, street lights, hydrants or sewers. Councillor Gladstone exâ€" pressed the opinion that very early conâ€" sideration should be given the matter if the properties were within the town Heavy Rams Check Bush Fires â€"_Councillor Gladstone called_ attenâ€" tion to the fact that the only way to get a drink at Gillies Lake was direct from a tap, +~There had been a tin cup attached to the tap but that was equally unsanitary, He recommended that a drinking fountain be installed. â€"Counâ€" cillor Eyre replied that provision had been made in the estimates for this. Councillor Gladstone thought that in the interests of public health there should be a fountain at both Gillies Beach and at the river.
