NEW JUDICIAL | Exporsen 0V Fown Waterworks Extension, Apâ€" pointment of Third Policeman and Other Town Matters. The Timmins Town Council had ; lengthy session on Thursday evening of last week, with Mayor Melnms premdmg, nnd Councillors Longmore, DeFeu, Newton, Studor and Brazeau nt,. The chief matters before _ Council were:â€"the waterworks extehsion plans and the apporntment of a third policeman to take the place of the late Mr. Norman Burke. In neither of those matters was any deâ€" finite action taken. In the matter of a third policeman there were five apâ€" plications before the Board for the post. These Aincluded applications from exâ€"Chief P. Collins, of Haileyâ€" hbury; E. A. Roy, exâ€"Chief of Tisdale Township; and from Messrs. Minard, Laporte and Rochefort. _ When the Council were eonsidering the appliâ€" eations a ratepzsyer asked to be heard and made the suggestion that a man able to speak French should ‘he selectâ€" and made the suggestion taat a iman able to speak French should ‘he selectâ€" ed. He pointed out that there was a large proportion of Frenchâ€"speaking people now in Timmins _ and that many of them were unable to speak English easily. It would be a great help to them in understanding and | obeying the law if a EFronchâ€"speakâ€" ing man were on the force, and it would also be of service to the police in securing information and in work! that now~ an thterpreter "hadto be | secured for. Councillor Brazeau en-i dorsed this idea and said that he be-l lieved a Frenchâ€"speaking member of | the police forcee would be of advantâ€" age to the towa, in the way of sw:n‘-‘ ing information and enforeing the law more equitably, as well as a (lo-‘ cided benefit to the I*‘x'om‘h-.spoaking! people. _ Counciltlor Newton also aâ€" with these ideas. He pointed | out that Timmins was fast bccuming! a ‘‘"bushman‘s town,"‘ and most of| the bushmen were !"r(*.n(*h-s;xeaking.'; "The Mayor and â€" Councillors [)(\Feni and Longmore thought that eflicrieney should ‘be the first and chief considerâ€" ation in making tas appointment. Councillor DeFeu emphasized the adâ€" vantage of experience for the particuâ€". lar work of the policceman to be ap-! pointed. His work was the collecting of dog taxes, poll taxes, business li-? wense feoes, etc., and the looking after, sanitary inspections, cte. The Mayor: »xpressed himself as strongly in favor of a returned: soldier, if eompetent, but he pointed out that to appotnt a returned soldier to a position he eould not fill would*"be a poor favor indeed ‘to the soldier and to the town. . After some discussion it was decided on ~motion of Councillors _ Brazeau and Newton that the Police Committee consider the applications and bring in a recommendation for the appointâ€" ment at the next meeting of â€" the Council. On account of the absence of Mr. <J, D. Maclean who is away taking smedical treatmont, Mr. David Luke as appointedâ€" as town foreman for prasent. _ Peter Jeffrics was apâ€" pointed one of the permanent iremen at a sailary of $110.00 per month, to take the plaee of Mr. D.

Rev. Mr. Cushing referred to young men going wrong away from home for lack of pleasant and healthful places to attend. He agreed with Mr. Reed that a Club where young men could enjoy healthful games and recereation would be an advantage to the comâ€" munity. _ He also thoughtthere should be accommodation for the ladies, as there were many young ladies «here who were without ‘homes or healthful places to attend. He thought young people should have a wholesome enâ€" tertainment and recreation place aâ€" part from the Churches.

Pather Theriault was in favor of one elub for the community, but he did not think that different lodges like the C.M.B.A., the Knights of Columbus, the Oddfellows, Masons, ete., could use the one building. They would desire their own special quartâ€" ers. â€" Also he thought all the churches should keep out of the matter, except as citizens, and in this he was heartily supported dby Rev.
