President Vince Woodbury reviewed the trip to Kirkland Lake last weekâ€" end. The interâ€"club mecting had been eminently successful and interesting and he praised the hospitality of the Kirkland Lake club. All had a fine time, and the president had a special word for Kiwanian Karl Eyre who had contributed much to thesmwecess of the entertainment. Twentyâ€"one Kiwanians had made the trip he said, along with three oldâ€"timors. The golf on Saturâ€" gay was a big feature of the vis‘t.

Whyte, affectionately y CA 4A 19 | ap. George Wade and His Corn | Huskers Here in Person Getting Ready for _the Bowling Season Recently there seems to be more than the usual number of oneâ€"eyeq autos. These are very dangerous. An auto with only one headlight going is a menace to other cars on the road. This may not be so true in towns where there is good light from other sources but on the road outside town the oneâ€" eyed car certainly is a danger. This has been recognized by a closer checkâ€" up by the police on this menace to safety. Provincial Traffic Officer Wesâ€" ley McCord, for years stationed at Porâ€" quis Junction and Matheson, but now at North Bay, has recently announced that he is going right after the oneâ€" eyed guys. There are altogether too many such cars on the road at present. Cons. McCord says, and this is someâ€" thing that many have noticed here. One evening last week three cars passâ€" ed the corner of Pine and Fourth with only one headlight in operation. On a road outside town such cars are danâ€" gerous and Officer McCord says hereâ€" after he will prosecute every such case he encounters. Those "oneâ€"eyed" driâ€" vers in this locality who so frequently run around with only the one eye in evidence should note what the provinâ€" cial traffic officer says, in case they should be motoring near North Bay these days. Now they are getting ready for bowlâ€" ing. The Commercial Bowling League met last night, with the Power, Gamâ€" bles and The Advance teams repreâ€" sented. The T. N. O. captain was out of town and the Saintly Art was also somewhere on the steel. The only business dealt with was the scheâ€" dule for the first half of the league. There will be another meeting before the league starts. This meeting will be at Steven‘s bowling alleys on Thursâ€" day, Sept. 20ih, at 8 p.m., when each cantain is to hand in the names of his players to the secretary. The league wili commence on Friday Sept. 28%th, at 3 with the first games, The Advance vs T. N. and Gambles vs Power. Danger of Oneâ€"Eyed Autos Should be Recognized One of the season‘s largest crowds turned out to welcome George Wade and his Corn Huskers at a dance in Riverside dance pavilion last night on his second annual tour. The beautiâ€" ful Riverside pavilion was packed to capacity proving that the people here like a good oldâ€"time orchestta. The feature of the orchestra was Pete, the Mountain Boy and he pleasâ€" ed all with his rendition of popular Mountain and Cowboy songs, with the effective yodelling. A few comic songs also went over The first regular meeting of the Timâ€" mins branch of the Canadian Legion for this season will be held in the Oddâ€" fellows‘ hall on Monday evening next, Sept. 17th, One of the features of the meeting will be the report by President Austin Neame on the recent Legion convention. President Neame has the happy faculty of being able to select the interesting and important features of a convention and his address on Monday evening will undoubtedly be of value as well as of interest to local members of the Legion. The fact that the report is to be given by President Neame should assure a full attendance of members. In addition there are several other questions of importance to be taken up and all members are urged to attend the meeting on Monday evening in the Oddfellows‘ hall. games in by Dec. 2l1st.

N. O. crossing this side of Hoyle yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon at 1.30. The two men had been on a hunting trip and were returning with their guns and equipment in the car, as well as a couple of birds they had shot. Just how the accident occurred will never be fully known though there was at least one eye witnessâ€"a young man hitchâ€"hiking to Timmins. He was standing near the track and was watchâ€" ing the approaching train, the passenâ€" ger train leaving Timmins at 12.55. He did not notice the car at first. The train was travelling about 20 miles per hour. Apparently the occupants of the car did not notice the train in time. The car was going at a good rateâ€"too fast to be safely stopped when the train was noticed. There is a likelihood that the driver of the car decided the only thing to do was to beat the engine to the crossing. He almost did it, but just missed. The engine struck the Mr. Brady at once got busy and soon had full arrangements made for trucks to take the trout to the streams deâ€" signated and by the time this is pubâ€" lished they will be all in the several waters named. The trout were taken from the baggage car last night and distributed this morning. It meant a lot of work but that was cheerfully done to help the cause of fish conserâ€" vation in this part of the North. The late arrival of the consignment naturâ€" ally added to the difficulties in handlâ€" ing the trout but this was also dealt with. car right in the centre of the side. The side towards the engine was twistâ€" ed until the front and back almost met. The doors of the car were knocked off, one door being carried 100 yards down the track. The engine block seemed about the only thing about the car that was not smashed. The body of the car was smashed to pieces. The car was a Ford coupe.

The telegram received by Mr. Brady not only shows the large conâ€" signment of trout being sent here for reâ€"stocking the waters of the district, but it also indicates the destination of the trout, so it is given herewith:â€" "Baggage car trout will arrive in Timmins Wednesday 9 p.m. Arrangeâ€" ment transportation for following:â€" 15,000 to Mattagami River; 5,000, to Waterhen Creek; 1,000 to Fulham Creek; 20,000 to Reamsbottom Creek; 10,000 to Craft‘s Creek; 5,000 to Charleâ€" bois Creek."

Medical aid was soon at hand, but it was found that Fedico Guniero had apparently been killed instantly in the crash. The two men were lying beside the road, the one man‘s hand resting across the other Baggio was unconsc:ous but was still alive though he was evidently hadly hurt.

Questions Answered. nothing to prevent the town ing with the company with taking over the plant. In t] the town taking over the c of power the payment for etc.., would be made by deben of power the payment for the plant, etc., would be made by debentures. Mr. Starr outlined the steps preliminary to an actual purchase of the power plant. First of all, there should be a resoluâ€" tion passed by council asking the comâ€" mission to make a survey and report as to the cost of taking over the present system or installing a new one. At this juncture Mr. Starr again said that installing a new system and thus causâ€" ing duplication was something to be avoided if possible. There were necesâ€" sary byâ€"laws to be voted on and passed by the ratepayers before the matter of taking over power distribution by the town could be completed. If the busiâ€" ness were taken over it would be owned and operated by Timmins with the Hyâ€" dro Commission in advisory capacity. The system would be operated under a commissicn, the commissioners to be elected the same as town councillors, except that they would be elected for one, two and three years respectively, so that there was always one or more experienced men on the commission no matter what might happen at any parâ€" ticular election. The usual form of debenture was for 20 vears. Gove bent HyCc power in th there Mtr. Starr at the cutset pointed out that the duplication of plants was seldom wise. The town had a contract with the Northern Canada Power Co., the franchise expiring in 1936. The plan to be followed would seem to be to have the people vote on the necesâ€" sary byâ€"laws at the municipal election in 1935 and thus everything would be ready to take over the power company‘s plant when the franchise expired it the ratepayers endorsed that move. In the meantime, however, there was nothing to prevent the town from dealâ€" ing with the company with:â€"a view to for Timmins. The meeting was called for 7.30 p.m. but at that time the only representatives of the council present were Mayor Richardson and Councilâ€" lor J. P. Bartleman. There were not many ratepayers present either, though the meeting had been announced as open to the public. Councillor Bartleâ€" man who was largely instrumental in getting the Hydro engineer here, got on the vbhone and called up the various councillors asking them to attend the meeting. They eventually arrived at the meeting one after another until all were present. The meeting was able to onen some time after eight. present after Mayor Rich ceedings by ca particulars as Ciommission power plans, and how Timmins could adopt the Hydro system if such a step were considered desirâ€" able.

"7 the same set of rates that the j company are offering us now," mented a ratepayer. A number of rates in different : were quoted from the Governmer ports showing that Hydro rates usually low. The Hydro being m a basis of power at cost the rates naturally lower than private con Mr. Starr mentioned the fact reductions in rates usually mear creased business, which would way for more reductions. Mr. Starr said he would advise ly any municipality to ho0ok up Mr. Blain asked if The Northern Miner was right in saying that Hydro was going to build a substation in Timâ€" mins. Mr. Starr said that Hydro had signed up one mine in the camp for power and expected to sign sanother soomn. He expected there would be a substation here in £ months. Mr. Starr pointed out that a survey by competent men would be necessary to arrive at the value of the power system. He did not think the assessâ€" ment figures a real guide. "An assesâ€" sor is not a valuator of electrical equipment," he said, pointing out that many technical matters enter into the question. When rates were quoted from the blue books to show how cheaply Hydro supplied power to the ultimate conâ€" sumer, Mayor Richardson pointed out that Deseronto‘s rate was 4.4 and Erie Beach, 8¢. He noted that the new rate for Timmins would be much belOow these figures. "Is the Hydro getting part of its power from Quebec for the Welland district?" was a question asked by Mr. Blain. "I cannot say," answered Mr. Starr. Mr. Starr said the case of Deseronto and Erie Beach were explained by the fact that they were comparatively far from the source of power and small users, comparatively, of power. A gentleman in the audience confirmed this. 1y AI Hydr In answer to another question Mr. Starr said the local Hydro commisâ€" sion could be either three or five memâ€" ters, one to be the mayor. Councillor Bartleman said that the power company had made reductions from time to time, but his bills did not seem any smaller. months was It costs 25¢ services the ed quarterly In answer to another question Mr. Starr said that some small municipaliâ€" ties had found the Hydro system not to their advantage, but this was not the case in regard to any town the size of Timmins. Mayor Richardson asked if the town would have to take a certain stated amount of power under the Hydro plan. "No!" said Mr. Starr. Councilior Laprairie asked if the town would have to pay for a Hydro survey. Mr. Starr answered "Yes!" "Does the Hydro ask for a deposit on meters?" asked Councillor Maltais. Most Hydro municipalities do require some form of deposit or guarantee for tenants. In all power contracts a three months‘ advance is required in bond or other form. Mr. Blain said that in the South he had paid $7.00â€" â€"for Hydro power in three months, while here his bill was $8.00 or $9.00 for one month,. Private companies he suggested did not drop their rates until the people begin to talk Hydro. That had been the experiâ€" ence in Welland for instance. Councillor Bartleman said he underâ€" stovod the Hydro had meant savings of $150,000,000 to the power users since its inception.
