How in the name of ‘*Gravel and Sand,"" did the Mayor and Council think that $2.000 would meet the deâ€" mands of, over 2,000 men.

What in the name of ‘‘Gravel and Sand"‘ are we paying these people for? Not to be in ‘"‘glass cases‘‘ or for ‘‘exhiâ€" bition purposes‘‘ I hope. _ This is names to the Hollinger officials to be exempted from Poll Tax. The names of all owners of property, could have been listed also, and sent up as exâ€" empt. â€" Considering the expert **Asâ€" sessment Commuissioner‘‘ was brought from Toronto this little matâ€" ter should only be a mere trifle to him. It was up to the Town Council to provide the Hollinger officials, with a list of who was exempt, and who was not. All Hollinger tenants received an assessment notice two months or so ago, or were supposed to get one. The Council knew where to find these people to post the assessment notice to, so why in the name of **Gravel and and‘‘ did they not send in these It is also regrettable that some of the old council are in the same ‘*Boat‘‘ as the new one. Considering the ‘‘Big Four‘‘ hold the ‘*Fort‘‘ the members of the old council would be just as good watching the proceedâ€" ing with the spectators. ‘The ‘"Little Three"‘ have a very slim chance against the ‘‘Big Four‘‘ when it comes to a show of hands. One Councillor made the remark to the effectâ€"that ‘‘some of us may not be here next year to hear the annual report‘‘ in question at the time. Let‘s hope that the ‘"‘Big Four‘‘ will hear next year‘s annual report, as specâ€" tators amongst the crowd only.

They have had to be indenâ€" tified first. This means in some cases two trips to Timmins. In this case they either have to walk, or be out about 50 cents on the deal for car fare. _ There was no identification needed when the money was illegally stopped, so why in the name of * Graâ€" vel and Sand‘‘ should they have to be identified to collect their own money. They would be justified in collecting their car fare from the Town Council. The Chief of Police was the man authorized to collect the money, so why he was not authorized to return that money where it was collected from, is something we would like to know.: There would have been no standing in the cold,, and no two trips needed. The Council got out of it very light, and they can consider theamselves lucky that no one went to law over it. They not only collected the money illegally ‘but they rubbed it in also. Standing out in the line in the cold, then answering questions already on the assessment notice, some making two trips, was sure rubâ€" bing it in, and as one man told them it sure was a ‘‘mean and dirty trick"‘ for an educated lot of men to do.
