The Town has already outgrown "tt lmunduries, and to on- courage furhh. development and act commodate the growing population, the resolution suggested that the Town Council he asked to pass a re solution declaring that it is expedient that parts of the adjacent Township of Tisdale be annexed to Tirntnins, the. area to be annexed to include Moneta, Rochester, Timmins Heights Town, sites, hhttagami, and the Bat'tleman, Porcupine Crown and Vipond claims. Further Mr. Pieree's resolution re quired the oilieers and members of the Board of Trade to attend the publie meeting on Tuesday'and boost for a Greater Timmins. This resolution brought forth much discussion, the ,-faeling biring generally in favour, “though many thought phat taking in ._1he Crown and 1'ipond was pevluyrs . going too far afield. f" The diseussion naturally centered around the annex-, ation of 1fattagpmi which is at pre-, , sent before the Town Couneil.

To this and the Committee was appointed vith the idea of having,r an early inter- view with the Mines of the district.
