Ewvery voter should exéercise his or her franchise on this Fire protection is a matter of vital imâ€" portance to the town. Every good citizen should study the question and express his or her wellâ€"weighed opinâ€" Town Councils always come in for considerable criticism, and the inferâ€" ence may naturally be made that the eritiecs believe that ‘they could t do things much better than those who earry along the responsibilities of ofâ€" fiee. It is against all experience to agree that the eritics would do betâ€" ter than those who actually give their time to work for the town, rather than just talk. However, svery once in a which the crities have opportunâ€" ity to show the value of their judgâ€" ment. [They have an opportunity in the case of the vote on the proposed motor fire truck byâ€"law. The Counâ€" eil has left the question to the vote ol the peop‘e. The voters are to decide. Now, those. who know a thing or two about municipal matters have their chance to show what they know. Does the Town need further Breâ€"fighting equipment? Is it good policy to spendâ€" money.for fire proâ€" tection rather â€"than in high insurance rates? Will the proposed comibinaâ€" tion chemical and hose. truck be a good business purchase for the town? Will the two or three dollars a year that the average ratepayer will have to pay in taxes for the purchase of the proposed equipment be offset by the added safety to life and property ? These are the type of questions that Town Councils econtinually have beâ€" fore them. The vote on the byâ€"law will show whether the judgment of the ratepayers in general is as sound and thoughtful as that of their ted representatives. Whrle there has not ‘been a single ‘ase of smallpox in Timmins or disâ€" triet this year, it is well worth while to consides the precautions and preâ€" ventive measures that will protect the town and citizens from cases of the disease. Cochrane has had a number of cases of smallpox and there are a couple of cases of the disease reported at Ansonville, the suburb of IJroquois Falls. In neither the case of Cochrane nor that of Ansonville, did the disease originate in the town, but ‘as due to infected persons coming in from outside. ‘With the transient nature of the population in the North Land towns and the unusual amount of travel to and fro, there is always Mr,. Mac Lang, Memiber for this riding, cast two important votes last week in (the Legislature. One vote was for Church Union, and the other for Seven Per Cent. Beer. the danger of diseases being earried into towns that would otherwise have a clean hill of health. Recognizing this danger, the Town of Iroquois Falls has instituted a general vaceinâ€" ation as a precaution against smallâ€" pox. Should the disease be conâ€" tracted ‘by anyone in this immediate vicinity general vaceimation will uo doubt â€"be instituted in Timmins. VACCINATION RECOMMENDED WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2ND, 1924.

Why is it that, sometimes, an inâ€" scrutahle providence selects one whose life, full of, the promise of golden achievement, is still in its spring?

In all previous votes on byâ€"laws the voting has ‘been ridiculously light." This should not be so, and the lack of active interest thus displayed qputs most. of the [critics out of the running. It shows that when they have opportunity to express their opinion with effectiveâ€" ness, they caréessly let the chance go by. They simply talk. In the voting on the byâ€"law next Wednesday, a fairer procedure should obtain. Every voter should give the question the closest study, and then make a point of vating so that his opinion may have foree and effect., iThe voting decides the question. The vote should be a partiecularly large and carefully considered one, Vote on the byâ€"law. It has been suggested that the question â€" has resolved itself into a contest ‘between the Mayor and the Fire Chief. If this were so, it would be natural to expect that the byâ€"law woud be defeated. But, though the Mayor and Fire Chief take opposite sides on the question, that fact is only a side issue. The real contest has nothing to do with personal opinâ€" ions. It resolves itself into a conâ€" sitderation of what is best to mainâ€" tain and increase fire fighting faciliâ€" ties and fire protection for Timmins. The byâ€"law was passed with the apâ€" proval of every member of the presâ€" ent Council. Last year the Council passed a resolution for the purchase of the same type of truck with the additional equipment of a pumper. Last year the Mayor favoured the type of equipment now proposed, but in the meantime he has changed his opinion in the matter,. and now recommends a cheaper type of truck. Phe whole question is me not to be settled hy any . duel fetween the Mayor and the Fire Chief, but to be lecided by the vote of the propertyâ€" holders . and leaseâ€"holders. It is up to the voters.
