He also mentioned that as chairman of the waterworks committee Dr Brenâ€" nan had neglected to call a meeting of his committee and the mayor had to give the necessary call himself. . In the discusssion, Dr. Brennan appeared so belligerent that the mayor warned him that insolence would not be tolâ€" erated. Dr. Brennan also suggested to the affect that the police commuttee might have been influenced. _ ‘‘No one has dictated to me in any way,"‘‘ said Councillor Franeis, chairman of the police committee, who pointed out that they ‘had used their own best judgment. _ The~ mayor noted that in the dismissal of members of the force and the engaging of others the usual proper procedure had been folâ€" lowed. Mrs. Hemming resigned her place in the town office on gccount of her health, and in her letter thanked the council for the courtesi¢s shown durâ€" ing her time on the town staff. An account for medical services for a man who had his feet frozen last winter caused lengthy discussion. Some of the councillors thought his sons should settle the bill. The matâ€" ter was laid over until next meeting Councillor Pritchard‘s report in the matter recommended that Mr. A.

This week The Advance has receivâ€" ed complaints regarding the condition of the back Government road that goes from Timmins to Paymaster. On the part of this road in the townâ€" ship of Deloro there are two or three vyrery bad holes that badly need attenâ€" tion. There has been nothing done to this strip of road for a ecouple of years or more, though its condition last year was such that there were roâ€" quests for some repairs. This road is an important one to the town of Timmins and to several ,promising min‘ng properties. There is considerâ€" able traffic on this road and it would appear to be good policy for all conâ€" cerned to have it in the best shape possible. 1t connects the Paymaster, the March and the Ankerite mines with the town of Titamins. It is unâ€" derstood that Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., has secured an appropriation for tlw repair of this road this year.
