The annual meeting of the Timmins Tennis Club was held in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening, April 8th, and was marked by the best atâ€" tendance of recent years. President Langdon occupied the chair and reâ€" viewed the work of the past year. The â€" Secretaryâ€"treasurer‘s â€" report showed a credit balance of $19.96 on the season, and was adopted. The election of officers for 1925 reâ€" sulted as follows:â€"President, W. O. Langdon; Viceâ€"president, A. L. Shaw ; Secretaryâ€"treasurer, W. H. Wilson; (Grounds Committee, George Carson, Convener; handicapping and tournaâ€" ment committee, F. J, Kehoe, conâ€" vener. The membership fees were set the same as last yearâ€"ladies, $5.00 and gentlemen, $10.00. The most important matter discussâ€" ed was the suggestion to light one of the courts for play after dark, as the two courts are not sufficient for the large membership, and Mr. Carson was authorized to secure tenders for the work. It was decided to hold a dance beâ€" fore the opening of the playing seaâ€" son, and a committee was appointed, consisting of Misses K. Egan and F. MacDonald and Mr, 8. G. Eplett. On account of the work involved the secretaryâ€"treasurer was voted an honorarium of $25.00. Mr. W. H. Wilson was appointed the club‘s delegate to the Timmins Athletice Association, and the meeting adjourned. Cost of Fire Truck Not To Exceed Five Thousand THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO _The regular semiâ€"monthly meeting of the Town Council was held on Wednesday afternoon, the regular day (Monday) being a holiday. The Mayor occupied the chair and Counâ€" cillors J. H. (Bacon, E. L. Longmore, F. M. Wallingford, H. Charlebois, J. Morrison and Geo. 8. Drew, were present. A petition for a cement walk on the north side of Sixth from Cedr streeét to Vimy Road, as well as a petition for sidewalks and surface water service for the Walker Townâ€" site, ware laid over until after the tour of the Council over the town on Tuesday of this week. Councillor Charlebois pointed out that the Boand of Works would ‘be in better condition to decide all such matters after it was seen what was really needed in town in the way of public works. Mr. D. St. Onge objected to Counâ€" cil in regard to what he considered excessive water rate charges on stores in the St. Onge block. It was exâ€" plained to him that there had been no increase in water rates but that a checkingâ€"up of the town had shown that several places had not ‘been payâ€" ing the rates called for by the byâ€"law. Water rates were based on the numâ€" ber of rooms in a ‘house, or building, and many places had heen added t»o without paying the required extra rate in the past. Mr. St. Onge thought this was not sufficient explanâ€" ation, as the rate in itself was away too high. Some of Dan‘s witty reâ€" marks caused considerable amuseâ€" ment and he put up a good case. Dr. Mcelnnis agreed that the rates for offices and stores seemed too high. Mr. E. H. King also spoke to the Council regarding the water rates charged for the three offices above the post office, though they had o water service. He suggested water meters. *{Now you‘re talking,"‘ said Mr. St. Onge. It was explained that the cost of water meters was suca as to prolubit their use, except im the case of the use of water on a very large seale. Mrs. Lawlor also presenâ€" ted an objection to the extra charges in the last bills sent out explaining that her bill had jumped from $6.30 to $16.05, though practically no more water was being used. The bam on the property was only in use a small part of the year. There were others present with _ similar complaints. Council decided to have the comâ€" plaints investigated and if injustice was found it would be remedied. All those objecting to the bills were told to take their noticesâ€" to the Town Council Votes on Two Alternatives â€" Standard Equipâ€" ment and Lighter Truck. Mayor Gives Deciding Vote Ratepayers Object to Charges for Water. Council to Tour Town on Tuesday to See What Public Works Engineer and explain their side of the case. After the Town Engineer had investigated the Council could deal further with the question. In the meantime it was understood that serâ€" vices would not be disconnected for nonâ€"payment until adjustment of the matter was made. Mr. A. F. Kenning presented the plans fon a townsite in West Timmins and the plans were duly approved. Authority was given for the purâ€" chase of seven new police uniforms and ‘boots for 1925, and also for the neâ€"decorating of the Chief‘s residence which is the property of the town and needs the attention. Some rebates on water rates were passed, where accidental ovencharges had been made. Approval was given to the sale of some town debentures. Councillor ‘Wallingford asked the Council to take the necessary ~legal steps : to dedicate for public use. A noad across the town pumphouse property for the use of several growâ€" ing industries and for the benefit of the public generally. There was a roadway now in use and it was the only means of irigress and egress for several industries and for the public. One sawmill that would be served had a capacity of 50,000 feet per day, and had cost $50,000.00 Councilor Longâ€" more thought as the road had already been used by the public for ten years it might automatically be a public road. However, Council decided to have the Solicitor prepare the necesâ€" sary forms to formally dedicate a road to the public through the pumphouse property, the Town Engineer to survey the most suitable route for the same. The big question before the Council meeting, of course, was the amatter of the purchase of a motor fire truck. The Committee appointed at last meeting put in a report necommendâ€" ing the purchase of a Standard Equipment with pumper, capacity 800 gallons, and failing this, to secure a combination hose and chemiâ€" cal motor truck at a cost not to exâ€" ceed $5,000.00. Councillor Wallhngâ€" ford favoured the Standard Equipâ€" Are Necessary. ment as the most economical in the end. ‘FThe Mayor thought the lighter truck would serve for the present. For a moment it looked as if the disâ€" cussion might be nenewed, for and aâ€" gainst, but Coun«!l decided that the matter had already ‘been thoroughly discussed from every angle. There were several representatives present who were agents or special representâ€" atives for different makes of fire trucks. None of these were heard it this meeting, it being felt that the whole matter ‘had ‘been _ thoroughly taken up. Councillor Longmone comâ€" mented that in view of the large aâ€" mount spent last year for equpment he thought the purchase of a truck might be deferred. ‘When the votes wene taken on the two proposals they stood as follows :â€" For Standard Equipmentâ€"Councilâ€" lors Wallingford, Morrison and Drew. Againstâ€"Councillors Bacon, Longâ€" more and Charlebois. The Mayor did not vote, but the vote being a tie vote, and so under parlkiamentary rules a negative vote, Dr. Melnnis declared the motion lost. For Combination Hose and Chemiâ€" cal Motor Truck, not to exceed $5,000 in _ costâ€"Countillors _ Wallingford, Morrison and Drew. Against Councilâ€" lors Bacon, Longmore and Charlebois. The Mayon cast his vote in favour of the purchase of the $5,000.00 truck, and declared the motion carried. The particular make of the $5,000.00 truck to ‘he purchased has not been decided vet. "I think the lighter equipment will cost more in the end,"‘ said Councilâ€" lor Walilingford. ‘(*‘The damage io domestic water services through laâ€"k of a pumper will alone be a big item.‘"‘ Tenders are to bhe called for the rock cut at the foot of Fourth Aveâ€" nue. ‘Councillor ‘Charlebois, chairâ€" man of the Public Works Committee, thought this work should be done this year, and that it was good policy to secure tenders to find the cost. There was a discussion on the charâ€" ity and nelief cases, with some of the unusually large amount of work falâ€" ling to the department of Councillor J. Morrison, Chairman of the Continâ€" gencies Committee, being indicated. ‘""I wouldn‘t have his job for a milâ€" lion a yearn,‘‘ said one Councillor. He certainly has a heap of work and shows the greatest interest and attenâ€" tion,"‘ said another. There promises to be a little relief to the town in Reâ€" lief cases, with the advent of Spring, but efforts are to ‘be made to weed out some undeserving cases. It was decided that the whole Council would go with the Board of Works and Town Engineer on a tour of the town to see what public works ane most needed. The tour was set to be made Tuesday (yesterday) commencing at 1.30 p.m. MARRIED AT STURGEON FPALLS ON APRIL 14TH ‘Mr. Presley and Miss Mary A.
