In view of the attitude _ _ of the underwriters on the matter, _ _ Council decided that shingle #roofs eould safely be considered as a fire menace and it was accordingly though: ~ best to incorporate the restrictions against their use. J ‘The new building byâ€"law was given its reqmred ‘readings and duly passed. . It imposes more stringent regulations on new bulldmgs erectedâ€"in town, parâ€" .ticnlarly in the central fire area. Here: wooden shingles :are not to be _ used for roofing. In the business part of the town al\l new buildings have to *Bbe constructed of brick, stone, cement asbestos shingles or other ‘approved \flre-proof materlal There are also â€" special regulations regarding foundaâ€" ~tions, chnmneys, stovepipes, etc. As / this byâ€"law is to be strigtly enforced for the general safety, all those conâ€" \ templating building operations should ‘study its provisions and‘ be sure its _ regulations are. complied with, The Secretary of the Ontario Fire Underwriters wrote, asking for cerâ€" 4ain data regarding the town, and inâ€" eidentally mentioning that it had come to the notice of the Underwriters that there was a proposal to establish a sawmill business on the land alongâ€" sxde the town pumphouse. The Secxet- ary pointed out that the Underwriters would consider any such business near the pumphouse as a decided menace to the safety of the town‘s water supâ€" ply. Which means that the Under: writers do not favour the proposal to give the Fessertons a site on the land owned by the town alongside the P U Byâ€"laws regarding debenture issues for waterworks and sewers extensnons were duly passed..

The required instructions were given for the drafting of the byâ€"law. An amendment was made to . the ‘Traffic Byâ€"law, providing that no cars for hire canâ€"stop within 90 feet of the corner of Third Avenue and Pine street to let out or take on <passenâ€" gers. Taxis are also forbidden to honk their except as legitimate warnâ€" nng to other cars or pedestrians.

Mr. J. P. Bartleman also apâ€" plied for similar sxgnatm'e for tite plans_of his proposed new townsite, but the Council could not ‘see its way elear to sign these plans witKout furâ€" ther investigation... The plans were all nght, the Mayor . explamed, but the dand in question was in bad shape and threatened to prove a fire menace, beâ€" ing largely muskeg and full: of old stumps. Mr. Bartleman said ‘that the Township of Ttsdale would open roads in the new subâ€"division, and he anâ€" swered the Mayor‘s suggestion regard ing draining by saying that the land could not be both a waterâ€"and a fire menace. He suggested that ‘he being discriminated against for perâ€" sonal reasons. The Council‘s answer to this ‘was that tkere was no intention to work hardship on anyone, but the Couneil did desire to do everything to prevent Timmins from the menace of fire. ‘The Mayor suggested that if Mr. Bartleman would stump the land and clear off the muskeg, it would pay in the better price obtainable for the lots. â€"Mr, Bartleman‘s reply was that the cost would be practically prohiâ€" bitive. Eventually ‘Mr. Bartleman got into an ‘argument with Couneillor Longmore regurding statements made to the Municipal Board regarding Mr. Bartleman‘s other townsite. Conncilâ€" Jor Longmore proved a more difficult manto handle than Premier Drury. Reeve QGallagher, of Tisdale, who was present at the meeting, suggested that he feltâ€"the Council had no option but Provincial Officer Reported as Losing Life in Search for North Bay *~Wires coming through to Timmins this morning were to the effect that the escaped prisoner, Leo Rogers, had shot and killed Provincial Officer Urquhart of Englehart, who has been in North Bay in connection with the search for Rogers. One message reachâ€" ing here simply gave the statement that Rogers had shot Office Urquhart through the chest and that the officer died almost This wire placed the time as around 1.30 this morning and the scene as in the outâ€" skirts of North Bay. Rogers then took to the bush again, the despateh says. According to information coming to the police here the shooting took place outside Rogers‘ home. This place has been constantly under watch, and it is thought that Officer Urquhart had just replaced another guard and Roâ€" gers apeared, shooting the officer and making this escape. It is said he esâ€" caped by travelling down the mam street for a distance. | Provincial Officer Urquhart has ‘been stationed at Englehart for some years past. He was greatly esteemed by his fellow officers and by others coming in contact with him in a business way. CA fine fellow,‘‘ is the general opiâ€" nion.. Among ‘the general public he was equally wellâ€"regarded both as an officer and a gentleman. He was a native of Scotland, coming to Canada three or four years ago.. He was married about a year ago. The search for Rogers has been conâ€" ducted without any slaekemno during the last week, and now no doubt will be taken up with red@oubled vigor. General W 1lllams, Chief of the Proâ€" vincial Police, is in North Bay in perâ€" sonal charge of the is the epinion of the head of the Provincial Police‘ force, according to published interviews, that Rogers has been reâ€" ceiving aid and assistancefrom some partigs unknown. The latest developâ€" ment, would seem to prove this. (Geo. Williams promises very severe punishâ€" ment for those guilty of ‘harbouring or aiding this dangerous escaped criâ€" minal, now résponsible for two deaths and for the serious wounding of a third officer. ~2 ‘ There will be a Ladies‘ Golf Match Friday afternoon of this week, comâ€" mencing at This is the opening match for the Lady Members of the Timmins Golf Club.

Council decided to deâ€" fer action in the matter until the ground had ‘been gone over, and Mr. Bartleman was promised a decision at next meeting, the Mayor suggesting that something at least be. done to minimize the fire danger. â€"‘‘You sign plans for one townsite without a quesâ€" tion,‘‘ said Mr. Bartleman, ‘‘"but you refuse to sign similar plans for me.‘ Theâ€" Mayor replied that the cases were altogether â€" different,> that <the Auer subâ€"division was not a similar fire menace; and that it had a number of improvements already made, while the %artleman townsite had done noâ€" thing. Later Mr. Auer was called to the Council, and explained that his townsite had every street stumped and dragged, and that there was a fireâ€" guard of 66 feet on the bush side. Blillding restrictions similar to those in the Town of Timmins â€"were also ‘being mcorporated in the deeds for lots.

L. Hogarth â€" PREMIER PMVBY Offend$: uS COVERNMENT RECORD Old Empire Theatre Crowded to the Doors. Local Questioner Creates Special Interest There was much interest here last week when it was learned that Hon. E. C. Drury, Premier of Ontario, would visit© Timmins and address a public meeting in the Old Empire Theâ€" atre. There was not time to very fully advertise the event, but by the use of the Band a large crowd gathered. The Band played for half an ‘hour before: the theatre. Premier Drury was ofâ€" ficially welcomed to town ‘by the Mayor, Dr. J. A. Mclunis, who exâ€" pressed the chope that the Premier would fully recognize the great posâ€" sibilities of this country and that this realization would result in very careâ€" ful and sympatheti¢g attention: to the North Land and its needs. Mr. Norâ€" man McKinnon presided at the meetâ€" ing in the Old Empire Theatre, the ~hall being packed to the doors with many unable to gain admittance. In opening the meeting, Mr. McKinnon pointed out that â€"Mr. John Vanierâ€" was a straight Labour Party candidate and was running on a Labour ticket. _ Premier Drury was given a good reâ€" ception, and spoke for nearly two hours, covering much ground, but deâ€" voting considerable‘ of his time to strong condemnation of Hon. Howard Ferguson. In fact the Premier did not seem to be able to discuss any question for long without drifting off into a sideline to take another shot at the Hon. Howard. The Premier at times reached the border of eloquence, but usually, this was with generalities or unsupported statements of opinion.‘ He made several of the latter, one of them being that the North Land could. not separate from the southern part of Ontario, because they both had the same source of revenue. Hon. Mr. Drury blamed the present Provincial debt on the Conservatives, claiming that the heavy expenditures were due to projects commenced by the former Government that had to be carried through by the ‘present administraâ€" tion. _ Premi@r_Drury . defendedâ€" the Government‘s policy in regard to the T. N. 0. Railway, taking credit for the reâ€"organization of the Commission. and evplammg that the Government‘s policy in railways is. to build lines where such are needed and> where it can be shown they will pay. The Preâ€" mier Justxfied the expenditures on highways in the south. <«Four years ago, ‘he said, they had found the roads all going to pieces‘ Something had to be done, and in view of the fact that a revenue around four mllhon dollars a year was recelved from automobiles in Old Ontario, expenditure on the roads was not without warrant. â€" _â€" In the course of ‘his speech, Premier Drury accused Col. Currie of calling the Frenchâ€"Canadians employed as fire rangers "‘foreigners‘‘ and he vigourâ€" ously declared that a man who tried to set creed against creed and race against race should be thounded out of this land. In outlinipg a new plan of farm inâ€" surance that would specially benefit the farmersâ€"and settlers of the North Land the Premier encountered. some opposition from the audience. He sard the :Government ‘had arranged that northetn farmers could seeure farm ‘insurance at ‘the standard rate of ‘three per cent. when some one sugâ€" gested this: was election propaganda (Continued on page 4) Hon. Mr. Drury made more or less extended reference to Hydro Radials on which question he suggested the Toronto papers ‘had gone mad. He said the question was of equal importâ€" ance to new and Old Ontario, as the scheme meant the pledging of ‘the credit of the Province.. In turning down the scheme, he said, the Governâ€" ment had been tested. Mothers‘ Allowance Act was menâ€" tioned ‘by Mr. Drury as one of the good things accomplished by the Goâ€" vernment, though he admitted the plans were ‘worked out from data gathered by the Conservative Governâ€" ment. ‘Mothers‘ Aillowance expendiâ€" ture had ‘been $1,454,000, and 11,630 children and 3568 mothers had ‘been aided. If Hon. Mr. Ferguson wanted credit for the Mothérs‘ Allowanee Act and other measures, ‘he must take resâ€" ponsibility for the expenditures incurâ€" red, the speaker said. Referring ‘to Hon. Mr. Ferguson‘s claim that the Government had not a proper appreciation ‘for the North Land, Hon. Mr. Drury countered by suggesting that Mr. Ferguson ‘had givâ€" en the country a black eye through the ~â€"Kapuskasing venture. He conâ€" trasted Kapuskasing and the Monâ€" teith Academy, to the glory of the pre sent Government. Clever Presentation of ‘‘Prince 0‘ Patâ€" ters,‘‘ by Local Talent. Audiences Pleased with Singing, Dancing Monday evening the New .Empire Theatre was filled to capacity for the first presentation of the ‘‘Prince o‘ Patters,‘‘ the musical comedy given under the direction of the author, Mr. Louis George NeVile, and under the auspices of the Timmins Golden Chapâ€" ter Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. All present Monday evening were délighted with the show and ready with generous praise for the taâ€" lent of the local artists presenting it. Tuesday evening the attendance was not so large, but the general opinion ds that the event was put on with even better effect than the first night, and none are objecting to the first\night‘s performance.
