However, whatever happens, «Jhere wil be no pl¢ébiscite a; the coming election concerning cocktail bars. This is due to the fact that a plebiscit: cannot take place till after lwo months from the date council passes a bylaw authorizing a liquor vote. Ostensibly, this is to allow persons opâ€" posed to cocktail bars to muster their forces. l40vuei When one or more of the local ho‘lelmen noiify council that they wich liquor licences, council can take one of two coursss. It can tell the hot:slmen that no vote will be taken till a petition signred by 35 percent cf the town‘s voters asks for such a vote. But on the other hand, if council feels favorably inclined toward the establishment of cocktail bars, it can dispense with the petition by the 25 percent of vorers and proceed at once to pass a bylaw authorizing the vote.

The first took place Tuesday evening, the second yesterâ€" day and the third will take place Loday. So far, no statements have been issued. so no one knows what happened at the first two msetings of the board, but evidently something must â€" have occurred, for a request popped up at yesterdays m‘eeting of council for the sum of $500 to finance the transporâ€" tation of a mapping expert from Toâ€" ronto, his room rent while in Timmins and a salary of $150 a month during his stay here, which may last "two or three months."
