THE ONLY HOPE FOR ANY REDUCED TAXATION. TIMMINS If taxes have been high in the town of Timmins, it must at the same time be admitted that large expenditures have been absolutely imperative and these have to be paid for in some way or another. In the short space of a dozen years Timmins has pro; gressed from a clearing in the bush to an upâ€"toâ€"date and wellâ€"equipped town, modern and Naturally, the improvements have to ‘be paid for. The people were not content to live in a bush town, and so it is to be presumed they are ready to pay for the sort of town they desire. In view of all that Timmins possesses toâ€" day, the cost is certainly reasonable enough. NE ‘Naturally, everyone would like to see taxation reduced as much as posâ€" sible. This can not be accomplished, however, by any petty economies. Reâ€" ductions in salaries that result in lesâ€" sened efficieney are worse than useâ€" less. Cutting off one expenditure and adding another will avail nothing. Even cussing former councils will not help any. Lo 1| b Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. ulc t o 3p1 5 It may be added that surveys and reports made by outsiders who lack knowledge of conditions and who themselves are not very thorough or accurate, will not do more than add to the costs of the town. Office 26 There is, however, one fair method whereby taxes could be reduced in a material way. That is, by the town securing a reasonable proportion of the gold royalty. The present arâ€" rangement is that the town receives half of the royalty up to $35,000.00. If the town were given. half the royalty _ without _ any $35,000.00 limit, it would. mean a noteworthy decrease in taxation. _ The growth of the mining industry means the growth of the town. In other towns where an industry expands, it means a proportionate increase in the town‘s assessment. In the case of the gold mining industry this is not the case, and it is because of the reâ€" strictions on the assessment of mining properties that the municipality shares in the royalty. â€" Aceordingly, it would appear to be only fair that the inâ€" crease of the royalty should mean proportionate increase to the revenue of the town. The $35,000.00 limit to the amount that the town may receive appears to be illogical and unfair. It appears to be a matter for regret that the present Council accepted "surveys‘‘ and ‘‘reports‘‘ in place of the removal of that $35,000.00 limit on the royalty. Judging from results to date, ‘‘surveys‘‘ and ‘‘reports‘‘ will only mean more expense, without any compensating returns. Previous Mayors and Councils, the Board of Trade and other bodies and indiviâ€" duals for years have been urging on the Government the necessity for an equitable division of the royalty, withâ€" * * $3 out unfair restriction. This seems to be the logical and reasonable method in the interests of the town. Increase in the assessment and a. reduction in the tax rate will be little use to the town as a whole. In view of the large amount of income. tax assessment, increased assessment, and reduced rate would only add furâ€" ther burden to property owners, The removal of the restrictive clause in regard to the royalty apâ€" pears to be the only way in which material help may be given in reâ€" ducing taxation here. ‘Considerable building activity is reported this summer from Englehart. The Earlton correspondent of The New Liskeard Speaker says:â€"‘‘Mrs. J. Elsworth and daughter Winnie, of Timmins, are visiting with the forâ€" mer‘s parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. Roberts.

KIRKLAND LAKE TO PLAY IN TORONTO ON SATURDAY Some of the football enthusiasts were enquiring this week as to how Kirkland Lake fared at Toronto in the Ontario Cup series on Saturday. They had just moved a week ahead. Kirkland Lake plays in Toronto this coming Saturday, June 26th, stacking up against the Willys Overland team in the Ontario Cup series. Neithcr North Bay nor Sudbury were in the Ontario Cup matches this season so Kirkland had an early call to Toronâ€" to, without other contest in the North.

RED TEAM GIVES BLUES \ VERY PLEASANT BANQUET The Red Team, as the losers in the recent Kiwanis Club attendance conâ€" test, gave a banquet to the Blue Team on Friday evening last in the Empire Hotel grill room. There were about 40 present, including members of the two teams and a number of guests. The evening was a very happy one all through, and a most sociable gatherâ€" ing. The Reds did the matter up in firstâ€"class style, having a 4â€"piece orâ€" chestra and the best of everything else. There were songs by Messrs (iene Colombo and Paddy Gallagher, both of whom made a big hit with their clever voecal work. One selecâ€" tion by the genial Gene was a song with both words and music by Gene Colombo himself, and don‘t you ever believe it was not a firstâ€"class song. Dr. Woodbury‘s witty and humorous anecdotes added to the evening‘s enâ€" joyment and were much appreciated. In the absence of the Red_ Team Captain, Mr. G. N. Ross, Mr. C. R. Murdock presided for the occasion in his usual pleasant and effective, way. Just before the happy evening was brought to a close, Mr. W. H.
