Mayor Melnnis said that the first question was whether or not the town desired waterworks extensions and the building of a sewerage system tluis vear. â€" He believed the people were in favor of both. There was very little question as to the desire for waterâ€" works extensions. _ demand for them was steady enough. He emplhaâ€" sized the necessity for a sewerage system from the standpoint of health conditions. / The financial conditions in previous â€"years had held the Council from going on with certain necessary works like waterworks exâ€" tensions and a_ sewerage system, though the needs were apparent enâ€" ouglhi. _ Now there was some differâ€" ence of opinion as to whether the Town could this year finance both the extensions and the sewerage system, The Mayor had every faith that both plans could be gone on with. There were two ways of financing. One was by debentures issued under the Local Improvement plan of byâ€"law, and the ‘other by debentures under a general purpose rate collected from all the ratepayers of the town. Under the former plan the ratepayers whose pro perty was directly benefited «hy the sewers would be specially taxed to lelp pay for the «eost, the amount of taxes in such cases varying with the amount of frontage of the property benefitted. Under the general purpose plan the debentures would be met by taxes levied on all the ratepayers of the town generally. _ He thought there would be little difficulty in finâ€" ancing the sewerage system under the Local Improvemont plan. iHe pointed out the material savings there would be in putting in sewers at the same time as the waterworks extensions, as in mosti eases the one trenching wou‘d do for both systems. Mealso pointed out that the issuing of one set of deâ€" bentures to earry both works through sewerars system to the waterwork Mr. J. Hatepa 1"hflil', would be easier financing than issuiung two.sets, one for the waterworks exâ€" fensions and the othor for the sewerâ€" age system. He thouglit it was beâ€" yond question that ar an carly date it would be sbsolutely necessary to put in sewers, and he could see little advantag» and several disadvantages in deferring the work. According to the figures submitted he estimated that it would take about $100.000 to complete the waterworks extensions and the soweragoe.system. The town at present was now honeycombed with eesspools and these were naturally more and more a menace as time went on. It would take 18 mont‘hs to eomâ€". plete the sewerage system, so if deferâ€" red now the town would go from hbad to worse from a health standpoint. The Mavor explained that under the proposed system the sowerage would *n to the river, being treated for purification before entering the river. * Mr. R. J. Jemmettâ€"gave an interâ€" esting reference to the idea that muni eipalities could not exceeed 25 mills an the dollar for goneral purposes and debenture tate. â€" He chad with him a number of tax tills trom anothâ€" er municipality where the debenture and general purpose rates totalled more than 26 mills, and he said that during his own imumelpal experience he had been advised by one of the best municipal law authorities in the Province that the law did not actnally place this restriction. He had never able to find such a restriction in the law himsolf.

A special and very important meetâ€" inz of the Poreupine Consolidated Patriotic Club is ealled for Friday afâ€" ternoon of this \\'eek, March 28th, at 4.30 in the Council Chambers, Timmins. â€" The business before the mecting will ‘be the winding up of the affairs of the Club and the final disâ€" position of the funds on hand. _ It will he remembered that about a monâ€" th ago there was ‘a mesting of the Poreupine _ Consolidated _ Patriotic Club and it was decided to continue the work of the Club for four or five weeks longer. It iwas specially deâ€" sired to collect in subseriptions due and get everything in the best of shape. Jn view of the signing of the Armistice and the consequent disconâ€" tinuance of the patriotiec organizaâ€" tions looking to the Patriotie Club for funds to earry on their work, i was felt that the Club itself would not hbe necessary for any extended further period. In view of this there was no regular clectton of new officers for another year. Instead the carryâ€" ing on of the affairs of the Club was left in the hands of the memibers of the iformer executive still here. ‘The understanding was that the Poreuâ€" nine â€" Consolidated Patriotte Clw} understanding Was TA2L The pine â€" Consolidated â€" Patriotie Clw} should eontinue for a month or two and that then there should be a public meetine of the subseribers ealled for the mvindingâ€"up of the affairs of the Club and the final disposition of the funds. In accordance with this unâ€" derstanding the general meeting is called for Friday afternoon of this week, March 28th, at 4.30 o‘clock, in the Council Chamber, and all subseriâ€" bers to the P.C.P.C. are earnestly requested to ibe present.
