A report was ed that it was evident that the ice was held back longer than necessary by the river being filed for two miles with pulp, that when the pulp is all out it would ‘be possible to get a betâ€" ter idea as to ‘the damage caused. It was decided to ‘have him make one more trip when the pulp was gone and take the levels then. A petition for a cement sidewalk on the vwest side of Balsam St. S. in Gauthier township was read but consideration of it was to be held over till next meeting to see what was beng done re annextion of this section to Timâ€" mins.

Considerable time was spent disâ€" eussing sidlewalks for both Schumaciâ€" er and South Poreupine. Some 2500 feet of sidewalk in the main portions of hae town are required in South Poreupine, much of his walk having been laid seventeen years ago and beâ€" ing too far gone for repair. The sideâ€" walks for South Porcupine are to be mostly wooden unless the property owners in the post office block want cement walks. Where cement walks are built sixty per cent of the cost is assessed to the propertiee adjoining. It was decided to again see some of part of the province, via Cochrane, Hearst and Sioux Lookout, instead of around ‘by the rocky shores north of Leake Superior.

O. Langdon, presiâ€" dent of Timmins Board of Trade, wrote the council re the repairing of the main road between Timmins and South Porenpine and also the making of the back road into a more permaâ€" nent highway. As to the main highâ€" way the council have no authority to touch it. That is up to the contracâ€" tors who will probably start on it as soon as all the frost is gone. In the meantime it behooves motorists to proceed cautiously. Re the back road the council were not in favour of going to the expense of making it a permanent road but thought that a little surfacing with gravel would make it passible enough for present purposes.
