Ten years ago, after a continued effort on the part of local business men and others to have Fire Chief Borland, of Cobalt, secured as the fire chief for Timmins, Mr. Borland was prevailed upon in the month of February to come again to~ Timmins and take up the question with the town council. At a special meeting of the town counc®, called on Feb. 10th, 1917, Fire Chief: Borland outâ€" lined the needs of Timmins in the way of fire protection and fire fighting equipment, and also touched upon the conditions under which he would accept the position of fire chief here. Mr. Len Newton addressed the Board of Trade on the need for a genâ€" eral hospital for the camp, this meetâ€" ing ten years ago being largely atâ€" tended. After a general discussion in which the financial difficulties were referred to, a committee comprising the president, Mr. T. F. King, and Mr. D. Ostrosser, was appointed to meet with a committee representing Tisdale and Timmins in regard to this hosâ€" pital" question. It may be noted here that later in the war the question was practically dropped owing to the apâ€" parent impossibility of finaneing any of the proposals for a general hosâ€" pital. â€" a% % % + / s J § Council promptly passed a resolution providing for the necessary agreeâ€" ment to secure the services of the new fire chief. At the time of the appointment of Fire Chief Borland to ‘the position here, The Advance said :â€"‘*Chief Borland is noted in the North Land as a capable and experiâ€" enced fireâ€"fighter, and Timmins may sa%y be complimented on securing his Bervices. _ He has been chief of the Cobalt fire department. for the past four years, and has given unâ€" usual satisfaction, the improvements in the efficiency of the department being well known. Previous to going to Cobalt he was for six years chief of the Woodstock fire brigade, forâ€" merly having been a captain in‘ the London fire brigade.‘‘ The Advance had nothing but good words and high hopes in connection with the appointâ€" ment of Fire Chief Borland to the Timmins department, and after ten years of efficient service to the town, Chief Borland has more than proved every good word well warranted. At the annual meeting of Temisâ€" kaming County Lodge No. C. 60, L.O. L., held at South Poreupine on Feb. 6th, 1917, Mr. S. G. MeCoubrey, of Iroquois Falls, was clected County Master. â€" After the work of the Order "Like the fine new church itself,"" says The Advance of Feb. 14th, 1917, ‘"‘there was little room for anything but satisfaction to all concerned with the opening services in the the new Presbyterian church in Timmins on Sunday and Monday of this week. The attendance was partienlarly large, the building being taxed for room at the evening service, although it is capable of accommodating three hunâ€" dred or more. The services on Sunâ€" day were conducted by Rev. J.; D. Byrnes, superintendent of Missions, assisted ‘by the pastor, Rev. J. Macâ€" donald.

If anything is to be done this year for the protection of life and proâ€" perty, it must be started very soon.‘ The Advance kept up unceasingly a eampaign to induce the Government to give a measure of protection from bush fires to the communities of the Nortb, pointing out that aside from the appallmg danger to life, common business judgment suggested ‘such proâ€" tection as being much cheaper than spending money in _ ‘‘fireâ€"relief" funds. er, is to be commended and congratuâ€" lated not alone for his own gifted singing, but for the general work of the. choir.

His first place of residence in this country awwvas at Goderich, asod he maimtamed his connection with that locality until the time of his death.
