As described in last week‘s editicn of The Advance, the matter of colâ€" lecting the sum of $139.75 from each of the defendants was largely ignored at a recent meeting of eouncil when Mayor Brunette had instructed the town clerk that ‘"No action" would be taken. Préâ€" viously the town itself had paid the full amount of Mr. Bannino‘s "osts, 0sâ€" tensibly with the purpose of collectâ€" ing later from the individual defendâ€" ants, or discussing the matter. As the result of yesterday‘s meeting in the Building,. Timim‘ns town council will reconsider the matter as to who is going to pay the costs Of Rocco Bannino, local resident who sued the town th‘s Spring at Cochrane regarding the illegal pens on scheme inaugurated by the 1945 town council. Mr. Bannino was awarded costs of $1,118.03 jointly against the town of Timmins. Mayor J. Emile Brunette, Councillors William â€" Roberts, Ellen Terry, J. V. W. McDermott. Karl Evre and Michael Karol. On this basis, each party would be liable for the sum of $139.75. "How is it I heard nothing about the costs for the Bannino case?" said Mr. Chateauvert. "The Porcupine Advance seems to know all about it and I don‘t know anything. There was no discusâ€" sion of it at the other meting." "How did it get ‘no action‘ when it was never considered? Who instructed the clerk that noâ€" action would be taken?" asked Mr. Bartleman. The subject was broached yesterd by Councillor Hecetor Chateauvert. Former Captain of Tanks Defends Private In Court "I instructed the clerk." said Mr. Prunette, "and it was considered." "I‘ll tell you what happened." said Councillor Philip Fav. "Three or four of you were hollering all together and vou never noticed it coming up." ._"There was just no action,‘ replied The mavor. "No one seemed interested." "When a thing ‘is never discussed. fmw can we know whether or not. no #ction should be: taken" We are get- ting . qur skitts dirty over this uhfaâ€" vorable publicity. I think that the clerk should be ordered to prepare a resolution at once demandingk these people to pay." saidâ€"Mr. Bartleman.

An unusual scene occurred in Timâ€" mins police court Tuesday, when Harold W.

He was released on $250 cash bail. Christmas mail going overseas from Timm‘ns this year has been by far the heaviest ever, Postmaster Ernest King said this week. So great has been the volume that shipments of war years are dwarfed in comparison, deâ€" spite the fact that hundreds of serâ€" vicemen from this district were overâ€" seas at the time. "Apparently the nublic realizes the seriousness of the plight of the people of Britain." Mr. King commented. He said that mail for the United Kingdom had averaged one ton a day during the week preceeding November 15. which was the deadline if mail is to be received in time for Christmas in the British Isles.

Canadse EVERY THURSDAY Story From Advance Gets Reprinting Across Canada An unusual feature of the robbery at Taylor‘s was the fact that the burglar stole $25 in bills from the store‘s show window. The bills had been pinned to placards as a sales proâ€" motion idea. In the case of the robberv at Buckâ€" ovetsky‘s, the ;. thief restricted his thefts to a man‘s suit and overcoat. Entry was made through a rear winâ€" dow and exit through the rear door. The burglar gained entry through a side window and left via the back door. In agdition to the $25 in the show window, $10 was removed from "Evidently he just wanted to outfit himself:! for the Winter," said Maurice Adams. manager of the store. In bothâ€" cases thefts were made dur ing ‘the night hours. When Rennick took the stand he claimed that Mrs. Galiveaanr had used foul language first and that he had replied in kind, Two Tisdale stores were robbed reâ€" cently by a thief who apparently knew what he wanted, the Advance has learned.

It is not expected that Gommunists will let go James P. Bartleman, who usually is found handing out criticism of his fellow councillors when town fathers gather around the council table, was on the receiving end this week. Wilâ€" liam Doran termed the progress made on one of J. P.‘s pet projects, the proâ€" posed laboratory for Timmins, to be "disgusting".

At the conclusion of the battle, which witnessed Robinson standing to shoulder with the wellâ€" known partyâ€"liners in the local, the antiâ€"Communists won by an Oover« whelming majority. At this point a member who had previously threatened to take hts life if the Redsâ€"lost, reminded his friends of his intentions. But in the confusion that followed the reâ€" jection of Reid Robinson‘s proâ€" posals, even the Commies didn‘t care what he did.

The battle began when new business was called for and a motion that Inâ€" ternational organizers refrain from takiny part in the discussion at the msgeting was made. Bitter arguments followed, eventually reaching the point where it was clear to everyone thak this was an outâ€"andâ€"out fight between The Communists were lead by Stan Kramer who went to great lengths to point out the undemocratic methods used by those who wanted this motion passed. Alcide Brunet and R.

Mr. Robinson was then called on to outline his proposals for the fubure good and welfare of the union.
