In 1930, the town of Timmins found the mining company owed $40.39, including costs, so they put it in a tax sale, and, receliving no offers that attracted them, took the title of the lot and put it in the town vault where it lay undisturbed until Moneta this fall discovered a building on the lot, then completed arâ€" rangements with the town for the title to the lot. The Park Lots Are in Tisdale All the Moneta mine property is not in Timmins. A large part of it is in the Township of Tisdale. While selling off surface rights in the Tisdale part some years ago, Moneta set aside six lots for a children‘s playground or park 1: said : they>â€"would present. th 'mwnof'rimmms.nuttheydidnot give Timmins the titles to those lots. When Tisdale found that the lots were to be given to Timmins, that municiâ€" The Moneta people had little ground left on which to build; so, finding that the lot they had let go for taxes still remtained in the name of the Town of Timmins, they satisfied themselves that no great harm would be dane if they This fall, when Moneta Porcupine deâ€" cided to go ahead and make a mine, which will eventually employ a .goodly number of Timmins people, the presiâ€" dent wrote a letter to the council askâ€" ing that the lot that was taken over for taxes be given back to the mine. At the same time, he said that titles for the six Tisdale lots would be handed over to the Town of Timmins, He made no suggestion that the titles would not be given to Timmins unless the single "tax sale" lot were given to the mine. But members of the council felt that since Moneta Porcupine had been genâ€"â€" erous with the town, the might at. least returm the courtesy. And they kmew that Moneta was not bound by any written statement to give Timmins the six park lots (which are still in the Township of Tisdale). ‘ , Help New Industry \ So, rather than offend the Maoneta Porcupine people in any way or make: their business of getting a new mine felt it was a "trade" and made no bones about calling it such. _‘ But Mayor Bartlieman objected.

Sewer Job to Emplcey 50 â€" It has also been stated that the $25,â€" 000 storm sewer job will take care of Timmins‘ unemployed during*the comâ€" ing winter. This is slightly inaccurate. Those who know state that the approxiâ€" mate employnient by the town will be 50 men for two months. ‘The job is a fairly blg one, and an important one that has been needed here for someyears. The idea is to drain surface water from the upper part of the town to the creek at the Hollinâ€" ger townsite; Great puddles of water that now collect under the T. N. O. subway, at the Central school and on Sixth avenue will be removed by the new drainage scheme. From the townsite, the triunk line will go up Sixth avenue BHirch . streel, along Birch to. Fifth, and along.Fifth to drain the various places mentioned. Thirtyâ€"inch, 24â€"inch and 16â€"inch conâ€" crete pipe, made in Timmins, will be used for the job, giving further employâ€" ment here (aside from the 50 mmtlon e above).

A different kind of adventure is "Strange Sea Road," by Warren Bed- nall. The Swedish windjammer "C. B. ; Petersen" put out from Melbourne m‘ June, 1935, bound for Europe by way of. Cape Hormn. A great gale forced the ship back on the route© of ‘Captain Bligh‘s â€""Bounty," and the seamen and passengers (three men, four women and schoolboy) met great adventure.

The title is "Exploring the Stratosphere.‘" True Adventure â€" A collection of tales by 37 men who have chosen the hard: way to live is contained in "Living Dangercusly."
