The Caledonian Society of Timmins Meetings every second and fourth Friday in the month in the Hollinger W. SHEWAN, President L, McOLURE, Becretary. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 17th, 1927 A petition from a number of rateâ€" payvers asked®, for the opening ap of Cedar street through the ball park. The petition claimed that the keeping of the roadway elosed as at present was a detriment to the properties and to business. The petition also sugâ€" geted that other places could be seâ€" cured for football and ‘baseball purâ€" poses, though not specifying these other places available. Mayor Longâ€" more explained that there was an idea held by some that there had been a promise or understanding that if the present ball grounds were taken away, the Hollinger would provide another suitable athletie field. This was not the fact, he pointed out. _ What Mr. Brigham has said was that if the Hollinger found it necessary to use the present ball grounds, the mine would provide other suitable grounds by running a roadway through them, If the town closed the grounds it would, of course be up to the town to provide its own athletie grounds. Fire Chief Borland, president of the Grounds Committee confirmed this by explaining the Hollinger‘s underâ€" standing with the committee. _ The H{ollinger was allowing the use of the present grounds for athletice purposes and would not take them away withâ€" out providing other grounds first for athletie purposes, but if the town ;spoiled the grounds, it would only be reasonable to expect the town to proâ€" vide the necessary accommodation for athleties. A petition was received asking for a sewer service on Pine street between Fifth and Sixth avenues. This was referred to the public works commitâ€" tee,. taxes on his dogs as they were so neâ€" cessary for him and the cost was a matter of importance in _the case. The council passed a resolution inâ€" structing the Chief of Police to issue the license tags for these dogs withâ€" out charge. / The regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday afterâ€" noon with Mayor E, L. Longmore preâ€" siding and Councillors F. Franeis, A. C1. (‘amon, W. H. Pritchard, Dr. JoyaP and (¢. 8. Drew present. The resignation of Constable Chas. Pearce was received, the letter of reâ€" signation stating that he would keep in touch with the town so as to hbe readily available for a case at Cochâ€" rane next month in which he was one of the town‘s witnesses. Engingeer. Petition Asking for Opening of Cedar Street Laid Over as it Would Mean Loss of Ball Grounds.\ Condition of Road to Cemetery Discussed. OtherTownMatters Discussed Many Matters of/Importamceâ€" Before Town Council Monday A letter was received from Mr. Patâ€" rich Shay to say that he had fallen on Councillor Carson said that it lookâ€" ed to him as if the opening of the street would mean the loss ‘of the athletic park for the town, and he did not think this would ‘be wo»od business for the town. He thought the matter might well be left alone for the presâ€" ent. The petition was allowed to lie on the table for the time being. Pine street and broken his ankle on Feb. 26th. He had been put to much cost and loss and had been laid up as a consequence of the accident. _ He thought that as the accident had been due to the condition of the town streets for which the town should be held â€" responsible that something should be done for him in the case. Messrs T. F. King, E. Stevens and Two of the nine professional golf players, George Dunean (left), and A. (G. Havers (right), who have been c hosen to defend the Ryder Cup, which the British team won last year from the Americans. They will also take part in the United States‘ open champiorship. The neceessary instructions were given for the drafting by the soliciâ€" tor of the necessary changes in the byâ€"law to fulfil the recommendations of the waterworks committee relative to the installation of meters at the schools, in restaurants and hotels, etc. Also to deal with the cases where there is only one water connection to houses where there are two or more separate tenants. Hereafter the owâ€" ner of the house is to be responsible for the water rates in such cases for the whole house which is to be rated as if it were not divided. While this may mean a slightly lower return for the town, it will no doubt prove more generally satisfactory. The landlord can arrange the matter with the tenâ€" ants in the rént or otherwise. J. Rochon appegred before the counâ€" cil asking for a reduction in the bilâ€" liard and poolroom licenses which had become burdensome. â€"Mr. King pointâ€" ed out that the poolroom owners paid big taxes to the town in the ordinary way, and also paid to the Government for licenses. Many towns recognizing the situation were now putting on only a nominal license fee, and he thought this plan might well be adoptâ€" ed here. The poolrooms and billiard parlours were conducted here on the best standards and as highâ€"class enâ€" tertainment _ places. The _ present charges by the town for licenses were: $10 for each alley ; and $10 for the first pool table, and $5 for each subseâ€" qirent tuhlv. The council promised to take the matter up and give it every consideration before the next meeting of the coumncal. Mayor Longmore explained that it had not been possible to get the comâ€" mittees together to consider and reâ€" port on the petitions for proposed anâ€" nexations to the town in time for the present meeting but that this matter would be dealt with before the next meeting. _ It was decided to hold a special meeting on Monday, March 21st, to deal with this and some other matters. The meeting will ‘be at 10 alm. A byâ€"law was passed to place a ligk of income taxes in a special suspense account. For the moment these taxes are not collectable, but some of them may be collected later. Another byâ€" law provided for the wiping off the books of a list of income tax accounts not collectable. _ Both these byâ€"laws were in response to the suggestion of the auditors to assist in simplifying the bookâ€"keeping. least one funeral that he know of had been held up on account of it being impossible for loaded rigs to turn dut to allow the funeral procession to pass. He suggested that two or three places be made on the road so that it Several~ refunds and remissions of taxes were authorized to remedy overâ€" charges or other errors. Some necesâ€" sary rebates of water rates were also authorized forâ€" sufficient reasons. There were adjustment of taxes in connection with wrong assessments and other matters, including parties assessed wrongly for separate or pubâ€" lic school purposes or as householder or nonâ€"householder when the case was otherwise. On motion Mr. C. R. Murdock was engaged as town engineer at a salary of ‘{»25() 00 per month, with the priviâ€" lege of doing work for other municiâ€" pdhtwq so long as it did not interfere with his work for the town. _ The mayor explained that the town has much work now for a town engineer to look after, and that the services of Mr. Murdock will consequently be found to be both necessary and econoâ€" mical in the cireumstances. Councillor W. H. Pritchard called the attention of council to the condiâ€" tion of the road to the cemetery. At Mr. J. Jardine announces this week that the big boxing display that was to have bheen held on March 23rd has been postponed to a later date. _ A couple of similar events have ‘been held in the past ecouple of weeks in the Hollinger Recereation hall, and Mr. Jardine thinks it would not be in the interests of boxing to run too many of these features within a short time. "I don‘t want to see it overdone,"‘ said Mr. Jardine this week in anâ€" nouncing the postponement of the event. It is the intention to have the feature in the course of the next month or so. Further announcement will be made in The Advance as to the date and particulars of the boxing disâ€" play. In view of the fact that every event directed by ‘‘Tex‘‘ Jardine has always proved to be attractive and successful, there will be much interest held by all in the coming event and announcement of the date will be aâ€" waited with keen anticipation.

The mayor said that ‘while the road was Tisdale township, he would be in favour the town spendâ€" ing a reasonable amount to see that it was kept open for the passing of funerals. â€" Assistant Town Engineer MacLean said that two or three times this year places had ‘been shovelled out by the town for turning out spots to allow the free passage of funeral processions He was asked to see if anything could be done at the present time to assist in making the road more available for the uses for which it was chiefly used. Reference was made to the fact that the safe in the police office was the proâ€" perty of the public sechool board. The police department needed the safe, and it would be more economical to get another safe f’orf}he public school board use than (fo pay removal charges, especially as the public a very good attendance present. _ It was decided to held the meetings of the club, every second Tuesday from now on, instead of the first and third Tuesdays. After the meeting,â€" the club was treated to a lantern lecture on ‘‘Abbeys of Ancient Britain,‘‘ the very interesting and informative lecâ€" ture being by Rev. R.â€"S. Cushing.
