Council Passes Traffic Byâ€"law at Regular Meet Yesterday Afternoon BRAAA A LAAA D A L â€"A LA â€"A â€"APâ€"AAâ€"ALâ€"A~ meeting was taken up with the reading of a traffice byâ€"law. The byâ€"law was passed and will be submitted to the Department of Highways for their apâ€" proval. Timmins council held their regular meeting yesterday afternoon after missing a week, and went through the rather long list of items on the agenda in good time. Most of the time of the Much Business Handled in Short Time Yesterday. Numâ€" ber of Complaints Received by Council and Will be Corâ€" rected in Next Week or So. Two letters from the Timmins Horâ€" ticultural Society were read to the council. In one of the letters they voiced the suggestion that in a time they would have the Highway Boulevard in fine shane again and asked if three men froom the town‘s Public Works Department could be loaned to them. The second letter told the council that the damage to the Boulevard would be repaired immediâ€" ately and they asked that the Police Department place some signs along the Boulevard. This would ston a great amount of the careless damage that was being done at the present time. Mr. M. J. Trench, owner and manâ€" ager of the O. K. Delivery, wrote to the council to make two complaints. His first complaint was in regard to children soliciting the delivery of orâ€" ders from the A. P. Stores, which are situated alongside of his business. He said that the children were a nuisâ€" ance as they milled around the enâ€" trance to the store and he found it hard to compete against the army of ycoungsters who wanted . to deliver orâ€" ders on nay night and Saturdays. He also voiced the opinion that it was tempting for the children and that on numerous occasions they had stolen some of the groceries. ‘They someâ€" times revresented themselves as emâ€" ployees of his business as well. . He asked that the policemen be instructed to stop the children from blocking the store entrance. ‘The second complaint voiced by Mr. Trench was in regard to the distincâ€" tion between taxis and delivery services. He stated that taxis were only supposâ€" ed to transport passengers and were not supposed to carry trunks, etc., without passengers. Orders were often delivered from stores by taxis as well, he said. In his business the governâ€" ment would not allow him to make more than one trip each day to any section of the town but the taxis deâ€" livering orders, the same as he was doing, could make any amount of trips. Councillor Roberts suggested that the taxis be instructed to stick by the clauses of the byâ€"law and suggesied that the matter be referred to the police commission for action, Another complaint received by the council yesterday was from P. S. Deneka, of 5 Mountjoy street. They complained awbout the Cartier Taxi Co. washing their cars on the street and making the street muddy and wet at all times in front of their apartment house. They also complained about the taxi company placing a telephone in front of their door that rang at ail hours of the night. Councillor Roberts told the council that the taxi company had no right to wash their cars on the public street and that he would look into the matter and have it corrected. Dr. S. L. Honey wrote to the council and told them that he had received their letter of December 8th, 1941, notifying him that the town solicitors were investigating the damage done to his trees by members of the Public Works Department but so far he had received no word from them.
