As proof of this it need only be,pointed out, that, after all this building zit-tivity, there are no vacant houses in town, and next year's building prograimne will ,also be a noteworthy one. Right at the present time work is in active operation on the erection of a lar,ge and modern store at. the cor- ner of Pine street and Third Avenue for Marshall-Ecclestone Ltd., Grd- ware and furniture. "When you see work like that going on in a town the she of Timmins at this time of year, you know it's a' live town all right," said a city visitor to town this week. The fact tharit is winter and build.. ing operations are practically sus- pended in the towns down below does not affect Marshall Eeelestone. They needed the building, and so they ave going to have it ready to move into in February. That is the attitude that has melt Timmins.

Thus Timmins may elaim iltout 450 new buildings erected here .-hiis year at a total expenditure of over half a million dollars. This is a remarkable record for a town like this and can seareely be duplicated anywhere in Canada this year. Far- ther, it has not been a "boom" growth, but solid and substantial to meet the housing needs and supply accommodation for the people of this rapidly growing camp. As proof of thisit need only bevointed out. that," .9} Up to this week no less than 210 'il';i'iiii'i permits have been issued this yet" for the Tgwn of Timmins. The tptnl value of the buildings for which these permits were secured is estimat- ed at 'N7,355.00, though there is rea- son for believing that the actual cost exceeds this figure. Of the 216 per- mits granted, about 150 were for new buildings, chiefly residences, though several important 'business buildings are also included. The rest of the per- mits were for minor alterations and additions to buildings already erected. ’ "'"'ll'""'t-iE ID0RctjlllPllrilllfE Ally/Art/Clif “ C 1llllllllllll mltllTll [WEB "Alf 1lllllllt THIS YEAH About 450 New Buildings Erected in Timmins and Suburbs.

Mr. Parks took charge of the services According to a visitor coming here from Cochrane this week the people of that town are more than annoyed over an autocratic and rather danger- ous proceeding on Monday night by those in charge of Coehrane's power plant. Whilei'he crowd was in atten- dance at the hnpire Theatre at Co- chrane Monday night it is said that the power plant management actually had the wires to the theatre deliber- lately cut. The theatre was thus with- .out any warning left in utter darkness and candles had to be used to give lsutfieient light to get the people out. lAs the visitor here phrased it, “What would have been the outcome if any sort, of panic had taken place?†It is said the ridiculous proceeding was due to measure from the other theatre in Coelwane. Recently each of the l,theatres “is been 'without power or light for two nights iti the week every other week, and thus closed on those evenings. This was to adronnnodate the power plant, now munieipally owned, in the making of alterations and repairs. Under ordinary circums- ‘tances the Empire would have been 1closed Monday and Tuesday, Jhis week, but being, given to understand the Power was on again all right, and having the direct authority of the Mayor to this effect the Empire duly opened in the regular way. Following a "kiek" from the other theatre in the town the power campany manage- ment is understood to have had the? wires out. Any well-earsed private: corporation would expect its manager! to have courtesy enough to at least warn the theatre managismnt before taking drastic action, and also to have judgment enough not to carelessly en- danger puplie saftty by hot-headed procedure. ‘The fact that Coehrane's system is under Municipal ownership makes the incident of special general public importance.

R. Todd 's Drug Store at Sehurnteher and made a haul of some proportions. About $600.00 in value was taken. There was $150.00 in cash taken from 'the cash register and goods to the m- lue of $450.00 or so were stolen from the store. :Apparently the thieves made a special attack on small ar- ticles of value like watches, pens, fan.. ey articles, etc., yet so much was tak- en in ‘bulk that some sort of vehicle must have been used for the trans- portation of the stolen goods. As soon as the burglary. was discovered the police were notified and have been busy on the case, Oifieer R.

To those outside the town it is worth pointing out that the shops in Tim- mins this year are well worth travel- ling many miles to see. And the va- lues are such that it is easy to "make' railroad fare on purchases here this week. Only three more days remain for Christmas shopping, but in Timmins this year that is ample. The goods are here at right prices and Christmas shopping should be a pleasure, 7 In any and every line there is quan- tity, quality and variety. It will pay shoppers to make a round of the stores and see the fine stocks. It is a regular "Christmas joy" just to see the displays. bigger or better stocks, and this is saying much for Timmins stores in past, years have always had yel'y pleasing arrays of stocks. For this Christmas the stores in Timmins have wonderful stoeks,oi' at- tractive goods in such quantity and variety as to meet ail needs and please all shoppers. Practically any- thing in the line of a gift may be se- cured in Timmins, and what is still more pleasing the quality in every case is high and the prices kept down to figures that make buying easy.

The various departments of the town have submitted their annual re- ports to the Council and all have been eminently satisfactory.

They fa.. vour municipal audit of their books by the regular town auditor and dc- sire everything in the most satisfac-l tory form. For years past the Fire Brigade hats been having the munici- pal auditor report on its books, and now the Town Band has had the same sort bf audit. The audit covers the whole length of time that the Band has been receiving the present town grant.- The auditor found the books of the Band in first-tthiss condition and everything in satisfactory finan- cial shape. Needless, to say, the same was true of the Fire Brigade and all the regular departments of the town. ANNUAL REPORTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT During; the evening the selections given by the Band were specially not- ed and appreciated. A number of new pieces featured the Band's part in the programme, and all the selections were given with a skill and effect that proved three tl0gs:---the capability of the leader, the effect of practice, and the talent of the various members of the Band. Among the selections given by the Band were :--ulfarelt, "Martha," "Smiles and Dimples," "Inspiration," and "Arbitration." In closing the meeting, Dr. Mdlnnis thanked those who had taken part in the programme, the theatre manage- ment for the kindness shown, and the audience for its attendance and ap- predation. The Mayor also expressed the general high appreciatiop felt for the Timmins Citizens' Band and he urged all to support and eo-operate with the leadervin every way so that the good progress might continue. Mrs. J. w. Faithful played the ae- eompaniments with her unfailing mu- sieal skill and understanding:. Another very pleasing instrumental selection was the duet, comet and ba- ritone, by Messrs. Wolno Hand Geils, who played "Larboavd Wateh," very effectively and delighted the audience: A speeial number for the evening was the Euplmnuim solo very eapably rendered by Mr. J. Smith, with band aeeompanhnent. t Despite the inclement weather on Sunday, there was a large attendance at. the New Empire Theatre in the evening for the Band Concert given by the Timmins Citizens' Band. And all present thoroughly enjoyed the pro gramme furnished. The selections by the Band proved particularly attrac- tive. Under the leadership of Mr. Wolno, the Band is undoubtedly mak- ing excellent progress. Timmins has always had reason to be proud of its band and this reason is emphasizes) as time goes on by the increasing "iiitiei- eney of the Band. On Sunday evening: the Mayor, Dr. J. A. Mclnnis, presided, and in a brief opening address introduced the pro- gramme for the evening. The, pro-. gramme opened with a well rendered selection hy the Band. Next on the 1programme was a recitation by Mrs. Murdock. Owing to illness, however, Mrs. Murdock was unable to be pre- sent and the audience thus missed a genuine treat. . -. A voilin solo, "Humoresque," by Mr. Rudolph roused the enthusiastic appreciation of the audience. An on- core was insisted upon and Mr. Ru- dolphe's response was rendered with bis own talented musical ability and proved equally popular. Another popular number' was the solo, "Jolly S'ailor.s," given by Mr. Jas. Geils in his usual fine voice and capable musical way was heartily eneored.
