The Chief agreed that the matter could be deferred unâ€" til the new vear. T Referring to Dr. Moore‘s report as M.H.O., Councillor Laprairie thought Probably the chief item of puoiic interest at the Council Meeting on Monday evening was the appointment of a Chief of Police for the Town of Timmins to replace Mr. J. E. Wilson, who resigned a couple of weeks ago t» resume his former work in the minâ€" ing line. There were thirteen upp&- ztions for the chiefâ€"ship, the most of the applicants ‘being outâ€"ofâ€"town men, (m imotion of Councillor W. DeFeu, seconded by Couneillor E. L. Longâ€" more, Mr. M. Greer, was appointed, the vote being unanimous. The session of the Council was a comparatively brief one, but the appointment of Constable (Gireer as chief of police was in itself a good night‘s work. As a police officer for both Timmins and Tisdale he has won the respect of all. He is cool, thougl.tful, able and fearâ€" less, and those who have noted his ;;‘.)d work as a police officér will ‘be itishied that he will make a very creâ€" «litable chief of police. He will take up the duties of chief on Jan. 1st. The Mayor, Dr. Melunis, presided at the Council meeting on Monday eveninz, and Councillors Longmore, DeFenu and Laprairie were present, On motion of Couneillors Longmore #nd DeFeu rebates in ‘the matter of taxes were given to Messrs.

This year we had only one serious fire which occurred on Feb. 4th at the Marshallâ€"Ecelestone Store on Third Avenue.

In fany case, however, there arée likely to !l)e othéer candidates, with the chancees ceood for a lively election contest and PLEASING SOCIA EVENT GIVEN BY BRIDGE CLUB were especially delicious, and a of friends ‘throughout the Township f Tisdale has agreed to_ stand as a candidate for the Reeveship of the Township of Tisdale for 1921. .Mr. Cook ‘believes that the taxes in the Township are too high and he‘is conâ€" vinced that as Reeve he could reduce the cost of municipal government in Tisdale and give the people greater benefits than they have been receiving for the taxes collected from them. ®Those recently in echarge of municipal affairs in Tisdale will no doubt conâ€" test these claims, and the result is likely to be a lively election. In the early days of the Township Mr. Cook gave excellent service to the municipal ity and fought at home and abroad with striking energy and ability for what he believed to be in the ‘best inâ€" terests of Tisdale. And through the ‘y_éars since those early days, though there have been times when the Town ship seemed to forget his public servâ€" ices, his friends feel that never for a moinent has he forgotten South Porâ€" enpine or the old Township of Tisdale.

One great advance has been made for which I heartily «commend ‘the Council, in employing a Public Health and School nurse. The need is great as examination of school and preâ€" school children has shown. _A would further recommend:â€"â€" 1. That the chlorinating plant men tioned be installed at onee. 2.

We had also a number of cases of Smallâ€" pox, but by‘ prompt action a general spread of the disease was averted. The coâ€"operation «of the Council and eitiâ€" zens in having all eases of contagious diseases promptly reported is necess. ary to properly protect ‘the people, their health and business interests, and Juard against epidemics. It is the bidden cases that have the most disasâ€" trous results and are to be feared.

ANNUAL ROSE BALL OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE EMPIRE. n mIin be The Farmer Government is in an awkward situation, facing as it does an army of six hundred and forty (640) publicâ€"spirited men. But deâ€" lay will not help matters. Delay, inâ€" deed, is likely to add to the difficulty. In these days of unemployment in the cities, there may be another 640 apâ€" plications put in any day. Nearly any city clerk out of a job could run a rail way like the T. & N.0,. Yes, perhaps they could. At least, they could run it just about as well as it was run unâ€" til the past year or so. In the past year there has been a decided improve ment, and therein liés a helpful hint for the Farmer Government. _ Durâ€" ing the time that Mr. Geo. W Lee has been actingâ€"chairman of ‘the Commisâ€" sion there have ‘been many improveâ€" ments.made and the public generally has received much better usage. The fact that the appointmen‘t was only a a m wou chairman with with his work, completed ‘the Comnt two cempot 13 There are no less ‘than six hundred and forty .(640) applications in from all sorts and conditions of people to be appointed to the T. & N. 0. Railâ€" way Commission which said Comâ€" mission has ‘been supposedly in proâ€" ecess of reorganization for about a year past. Perhaps, if the Governâ€" ment had had the courage and the firmness to make the permanent reâ€" organization within a reasonable time there would not have been time for so many applications to gather. (On the othet hand, it may be that the Farmer Governmen‘t is so overwhelmâ€" ed by that volunteer army of 640 (count‘ em) that it has not the heart to disappoint some six hundred odd honest men who wish to serve their country. Surely it is an encouraging sign of the public spiritedness of the people of this and other provinces when there are six hundred and forty (640) people ready to stand the albuse that is part of the pay of the T. & N. 0. Railway Commission,â€"ready to take a chance on the wrecks that are part of the poliey of ‘the road. But, perhaps, the applicants have figured out that a private car like the * Whitâ€" ney‘‘ is the safest and pleasantest place to ‘be in a wreck, and that it is better to take abuse at a stated salary and all expenses than to put up with the People‘s Railway and pay one‘s own fare. It is understood that the greater part of the applications are from peoâ€" ple who know nothing‘about the North Land and never saw before a railway like the T. & N. O. That is just a way of giving double emphasis to the fact that the afplicants are not generally North Land men. Drury Government Reported As Swamped with Applications to T. & N. 0.
