x1 KAPUSKASING MAN SUFG C.N.R. FOR LOSS DF LfG 8. Alexander Wants $20,000 for What He Believes to Have Been Careâ€" lessness and Negligence on Part of Railway At the assize court in Haileybury before Mr. Justice Rose and a jury, Mr. S. Alexander, merchant, of Kaâ€" puskasing, will ask for $20,000 damâ€" ages from the Canadian National Railway for the loss of his leg in an accident at Kapuskasing on May 15th, 1925. Mr. Alexander alleges that beâ€" cause of the careless and reckless manner of operation on the part of the C.N.R. men he was thrown from the train and sustained permanent inâ€" juries, including the amputation of his leg. He claims that the train on which he was a passenger was pulled up too suddenly, and also that the trap door in the vestibute was left open as well as the outside door of the steps. Further he asserts that the brakes were applied so suddenly that there was unnecessary violence, the stop beâ€" ing too sudden because the erew tried to stop the train in too short a disâ€" tance, no warning being given passenâ€" gers of so abrupt a halt. Reference is also made to the claim that the roadbed and tracks were allowed to get into a bad state of repair, this contributing to the accident. o hn On the other hand, the C.N.R. claims that the plaintiff ‘‘deliberateâ€" ly, recklessly and voluntarily placed himself‘‘ in such a position that reâ€" sulted in his fall and injury. The railway denies all negligence. Mr. Alexander, who is one of the leading business men at Kapuskasing, is suing for $10,000,.00 for general damages for the injuries sustained, and for another $10,000.00 for special damages due to losses from neglected business and loss of profits, estimated to date as $5,000.00, and expected to continue at somewhat similar rate for the future. serve our clients with a high resolve ’ to merit their confiâ€" w4 E3 dence and gratified appreciation.

About a year ago our township clerk in making a close perusal of this law, noted an exception which seemed to point to the fact that the tax on the point to the TaAct bNat LNe LHX OHL | nonâ€"operating dividend of a mine | should be paid to the municipality in | which such mine was working 'I‘isâ€"I dale was not receiving this tax but | another municipality. Hence it was| worth facing the issue to see if such could not be obtamed for Tisdale,; instead of going to an outside muniâ€" cipality, as it is at present with one of the biggest operating mines of the | township. The first judgment favour-' ed Tisdale but on an appeal this was reversed, and now it has been apâ€" pealed again. A considerable taxable | revenue is concerned. The other case was that of the Hollinger tramway which was erected and is operated over Tisdale property. As the reeve said, ‘"‘If taxes are due on this, we want them.‘‘ He also spoke of the amount held out on the contractors to cover leakages in the waterâ€"system installed. Another item was the priâ€" vate bill being put through the Legisâ€" lature last spring which had been sent back from the House and was lyving with the Private Bills Comâ€" mittee, at the time of the election of the present council. Prompt action was necessary if it were not to be defeated, which would have meant that although some 1,100 or so of the Dome‘s people would have been deâ€" pending on the water system yet the Dome itself would have been freed of all taxation for it while on the individual taxpayer an extra heavy burden would have been placed. It will be remembered that the morning after his election both Reeve Gallagâ€" her and Clerk Evans went to Toronto. It was owing to the urgencey of avoidâ€" ing this catastrophe that they went and luckily for Tisdale ratepayers they succeeded in having the bill passed the third reading, whereby both company and individual share the exâ€" pense of installing the water system. At the same time they got a reduction of $7,000 from the amount for which the township was being billed by the | Province as their share of the cost of making the road on Railroad street. He said the duties of reeve during the past term had not been anything like as arduous as in past terms that he had served. Councillor Kerr spoke next stating that it was the fifth occeasion on which he had followed Reeve Gallagher at a like event and that the ground had always been covered so competently that there was nothing left for him to say. He spoke of the western part of the township being in a particuâ€" larly healthy condition, mentioned the likelihood of a bullion tax from the + ‘. * ** * . ,*, @4 # #© ## #@ # #4 # # *4 #4 + #© # # ##* *# # *4 #@, *4 * #* € h *4 # * #* # ® #+% *# 4 #* * 4 #4 * # ## * # ## # h * ®@, *4 *, La *4 # # ## # # *4 # # #% # *# #* * *# ## *# *# *4 4 #* @ # Â¥## ® % #4# #@ *# ## # # ## *# 4 #* #* * *# * *# *4 *# % *# #, #@ #* # #* *# 4 #*4 # #* #@ *# ## # # *4 4 *4 # #% ## We are Pleased to Announce That owing to business getting bigger and be‘t.ter, we have moved to larger and more commodious quarters, namely the store formerly occupied by the Pilsworth Estate Drug. â€" To all our friends and patrons, we extend a sincere invitation to call and see us. â€" We have a very complete stock of Drugs and Sundries.
