Sudlbury taxi driver was fined $75.1H) and costs last week for heatâ€" ing up a “dead heat,” as the des- patches phrased it. The taxi drix er “as engaged to (him to Sturgeon {Falls and then wanted to go to North Bay. At North Bay the passenger :said he had some money to collect, but the taxi driver could not collect his charges and the passenger made smeral attempts to escape. The taxi drixer, not being able to collect his money, made strenuous etforts to hold his fare, and in court admitted strikâ€" ing the passenger several times to keep him in the car. On one part of the trip the passenger waded into a river to escape, but the driver follow- ed him in to the water and forced him to return. The alleged “dead heat ’ was fairly beaten up, according to accounts. and the cou1t apparently considered this a poor way to collect taxi‘i’fares.

In its last issue, The Rouyn News gave interesting facts and figures rc- lating 'to Noranda, and points out that $10,000 invested in Noranda three years ago would bring over $600,000.00 these days, which is not to be sneezed at. The Rouyn News says:â€" _ “Noranda shines haxe gone from $1. 00 to a new high of $61. 50 in the past three years. “New p'rofits on the original in- vestment in $1.00 shares amount to 6.356 per cent. HOW PORTUNES MIGHT HAVE BEEN MADE IN NORANDA In the Temiskaming Junior Baseball Association sc‘hedule game at South Porcupine last. week Timmins Jun- iors fairly swamped the 'South Por- cupine Juniors, the final score lbe~ ing 29 to 11. The match was so much in favour of Tinunins that it was not as interesting as it might. other- wise have been. However, South Porcupine has the consolation that. if the Juniors from Timmins can win with so large a score. the South Por- cupine Seniors can do approximately as much to the'Tinnnins Seniorsjn baseball. In the game last week the Tinunins Juniors used fifteen men. the idea. being to give as many as :possible a try-out, and it being felt? that the vic- tory was sure enough that no harm was likely to result from frequent changing of players to test out their value to the team.

HENRY, Chairman. .800 .666 .000 The attention of the council was called to the case of Mr. Birrell Bell, who had paid last year £01 all the wa- ter 1ates 011 the huildinw on Third ax- enue while as a matte1 of fact he was only tl1c1tenan)_tor the upstai1s par,tn other tenants occupied the other floor. Mr. Bell had objected at the time to the 1ates as being high, but had not known that he was charged with the rates for the whole building. The mayo1 said that in cases whe1e there was only the one connection it was found necessary to collect from one, rather two or more of the parties concerned. Of course, the rates were chargeable against the property in any case, he thought, and in the in- stance under discussion it would apâ€" pear that the landlord should see to the refund to Mr. Bell if the facts were as outlined. The matter :1'18 confused by the fact that the down- stairs tenants had moved. Council took no action in the matter on Mon- day, 1but the waterworks committee may deal with it later.

Authority was also given for the payment of extra assistance in the tax collection department, there beng an unusually large amount. of extra work neecssary at this time to get the tax notices in their new form out on time this year.The tax notices this yea]; contain more than the usual amount of information in easily-un- derstood form. A number of routine accounts were passed for payment and several xe- bates of water rat-es authorized in cases where those paying the rates had moved before the expiration of the quarter. On motion it was decided to g'ant permission to S. S'lotniek and the Porcupine Garage to instal gasoline tanks at their respective properties, under the supervision of the town en- gineer and on condition that the streets and :pavement beput in proper repair afterwards and satisfactory to the town engineer. A couple of further applioations were received for the installation of gasoline tanks by the side. of the street.
