Langdon presided for the occasion, and it was decided to proceed with the business of the annual meeting. S T2 wl 1t C3 ind 1 OeC W " * Ti The president read the financial statement prepared by the secretaryâ€" treasurer, Miss Paice. This statement showed That only a few had paid their membership for the past year and conâ€" sequently the balance on hand in the treasury was small, bemg oniy $8.75, which, however, was an improvement over the previous balance brought forâ€" ward at the beginning of 1929, this lastâ€" named balance being $3.46. As the president pointed out the sithation was slightly improved, though thrre was very considerable room for further imâ€" provement. It was suggested at the x aw slightly improved, though thrre waAas very considerable room for further imâ€" provement. It was suggested at the Friday evening that the new executive at once get busy and do all possible to secure a large membership for 1930, not only for the fees that are needed to carry on the work but also so that there may be active and earnest interest in board of trade matters genâ€" erally by as many of the citizens as possible so that the benefit and proâ€" 4n roads and had revsived the endora@ion of the Ontario Associated Boards, %e Northern Ontario Associated Board, the Ontario Motor League and other infiuâ€" ential bodies for this proposed roadway. ‘The Timmins board of trade last year, the president said, had lent its assisâ€" tance to the effort made to secure acâ€" commodation for the Algonquin Rifles in the Federal building here. The question of the proposed railway extenâ€" sion to Kamiskotia had been given very careful consideration by the Timmins board of trade last year and very valuâ€" able assistance had been given by the board in having the case for the railâ€" way presented in complete way to the Government. President Langdon reâ€" ferred to the many executive mecetings held during the year and the questions dealt with at these sessions. The meetings of the Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade were also reâ€" ferred to by Mr. Langdon, as well as the reports by delegates from Timmins to some of these mestings. In his‘teâ€" view Mr. Langdon made special referâ€" ence to the visit to Timmins last sumâ€" mer of Hon. Chas. McCrea. and the delegation organized and arranged by the board of trade that had met the Minister of Mines and discussed with him a number of questions of importâ€" ance to the town and district. Another of the good works by the local board of trade last year was the impressing upon the Government of the necessity for preserving certain timber limits tribuâ€" tary to the Mattagami for the exclusive «se of lumber concerns in town, so that the lumber industries here might be able to carry on for many years. One of the most important events of the year, Mr. Langdon considered, was the visit here of the party of daily newsâ€" papermen. Mr. Langdon believed that this visit had very farâ€"reaching effects and that its influence would be to the advantage of the North Land for many years to come. The Timmins board of trade had assisted in entertaining the party during their stay here and had helped in creating the interest and good will for the town that seemed to be carried away by all the members of the party. During the year, Mr. Langâ€" gress of the town may be advanced. The secretaryâ€"treasurer was also comâ€" plimented on the large amount of work gone by her so efficiently during the year. The amount of correspondence dealt with was a feature that made particular impression, literally scores of letters being answered in regard to all sorts of topics, as well as the other work of the office being looked after with unusual skill and interest. Comâ€" mendation was also given the president se e o n for 'h'i-srgenerous and unselfish work during the past year.

Some weeks ago Dr. H. H. Moore, medical health officer for Timmins, spoke to the Timmins Kiwanis Club on the subject and it was decided to secure an educaâ€" tional film on the subject to be shown in Timmins.

In addition there will be don said, a large amount of corresâ€" pandence had been attended to. These letters were on all sorts of subjects, but all directly or indirectly were of value to the town and its business interests. All were dealt with as received. Mr. Langdon called attention to the fact that the annual meeting: of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade was to be held in Ansonville on Wednesday, Feb. 5th. He thought it very important that Timmins should be largely represented at this meeting. The matter of securing delegates for this meeting was left to the incoming executive. During the matter of the election of officers for the ensuing year, W. O. Langdon was unanimously reâ€"elected, the general feeling being that he has given unusually able and generous serâ€" vices in this capacity and has filled the position with credit to himself and adâ€" vantage to the town and district.

The event will be a public affair and there will be a number of most attracâ€" tive features about this event. The Moose Lodge has a deserved reputation for being able to present enjoyable and successful social features and the chariâ€" ty ball promises to be an extra special. In addition the purpose for which the receipts from the event will.be devoted is a particularly worthy one and will appeal to nearly all. The charity ball on Feb. 14th is to raise funds to aid in the cost of the construction of a boys‘ village at Mooseheart. at Mcossheart there are about 2000 chilaâ€" ren being provided with homes, high school education and trade instruction. These children are orphans and deâ€" pendents of deceased members of the LO.OM. The board of governors of the child city at Mooseheart believes that better training and better adminâ€" istration of the childâ€"city will be cbâ€" tained by the erection of a boys‘ village wherein boys of 8 to 12 years will be lodgged. The work is accordingly being undertaken and the cost of this wonâ€" derful addition to Mooseheart is being financed by the various lodges in coâ€" operation with the headquarters of the order. As usual Timmins will do its operation with the headquarters of the order. As usual Timmins will do its part. A good time is assured at the Mooseheart Charity Ball on Feb. l14th, and equally a large attendance is cerâ€" tain at this event. At the local curling rink the third competition of the season, that for the Hollinger Cup, is well under way. In the Timmins Cup competition rinks skipped by Harry Huckabone and I. Solomon are still awaiting a chance to play in the semiâ€"finals, and the rink skipped by Alf. Prout is waiting the result of this game to play for the posâ€" session of this cup. Great interest is manifested in ail the games being playâ€" ed. Jnors Nh9 FALLS DOWN T0 21 SCORE THIRD COMPETITION ON AT TDMMINS CURLING RINK Winning Goal Scored in Last Twentyâ€" five Seconds of Match at Falls. Timmins Juniors Put up Fine Exhibition of Good Hockey. For Tuesday evening‘s match at Iroâ€" quois Falls in the Junior N.O.H.A. serâ€" ies, the Timmins Juniors were badly crippled, two of their star men having been hurt in a previous game and being unable to play. To make matters worse, McKinnon, another of the stars, was injured in the first five minutes of Tuesday evening‘s match and was out of ‘the game as a consequence If the classy Falls team had walloped the boys from with a big secore no one would have been‘ surprised or held much against the Timmins Juniors under the circumstances. But the crippied team put up a real game, fighting every inch of the way and playing the finest of hockey. ‘They held the Falls team to 2â€"1 score. At that, there were fifty full minutes of hockey without a score on either side. Spectators from Timmins comment on the gosod play of the Falls team and that means, of course, that the Timmins lads were equal to the ocâ€" casion when the score was held the way it ended.» Indeed, the general belief is that had, McKinnon not been put out of the game in its opening stage the The third period had gone on tor ten minutes before the Falls were able to make the first score of the evening. Immediately after the faceâ€"off Godin scored for Timmins, making it one all. In the last 25 seconds of play the winâ€" ning goal was scored for the Falls. Timmins Juniors:â€"Hudnott, goal; Emard and Godin, defence; Catarello, centre; Michaelson and Richer, wings; alternates, McKinnon, Graboski, Osâ€" trowski. Iroquois Falls:â€"Abel, goal; R. Porter and S. Porter, defence; Wilkes, centre; Bennsett and Walsh, wings; spares, Laâ€" lone. Yarinchuk and Larson. This game ties up the race for group leadership, but there is good hope for the Timmins Juniors. When they can hold the Falls down to a 2â€"1 score with Doran, Krupka and McKinnon off, they have the best chances when these playâ€" ers are back on the lineâ€"up. Timmins and Iraquois Falls now each have won three and lost two, and with three games each to play the situation is inâ€" teresting. a good game as Timmins has to win. Thursday evening of next week, Feb. 6th. the Falls plays at Timmins, and on Monday evening, Feb. 10th, Timmins plays at Monteith. In connection with the lastâ€"mentioned game it may again be noted that Monteith‘s home games are all played at the Iroquois Falls rink. Toâ€"morrow (Friday) night Monteith plays at Timmins and this should be would have either won or tied ‘TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30th, 19830 out the the NINE BROKERS ARRESTED AT TORONTO THIS MORNING Charged Under the Criminal Code in Connection with Investigation of Brckerage Business Now in Progress. wWord was received Toronto this morning of the arrest in that city at a quarter to eight of nine heads of leadâ€" ing brokerage houses in Toronto.

The plan adopted is a memâ€" bership drive, membership tickets being sold at one dollar up, and as much as possible. For the carrying on of the work for the children it is necessary to raise $3,500 by voluntary subscription. The work has been carried on for, over a year without appeal being made to the blic and the present campaign wilÂ¥enable the work to be carried on g:nomically for another year without further public appeal. In the fall of 1928 the financing was budgetted and by this plan it was possible to pay off the indebtedness on the Shelter and carry on the work to the present time from the proceeds of the 1928 campaign | and the money received from other | sources, such as grants and payments for maintenance of wards. In the anâ€" nouncement elsewhere in this issue by| the District Scciety the work done by | the society is outlined and this work | will meet with the hearty support of | all. It is a cause â€"that will make genâ€"| eral appeal and it is expected that the | response will be generous. The 1928| campaign was fully successful and it is believed that the present will be pmm- . ly so. ; casion. Mrs. H. W. Darling is the conâ€" | venor of the campaign committee, anc | Mrs. K. Eyre, the secretaryâ€"treasurer.| They have enlisted the assistance of the groups of ladies from the various | lodgss, societies, church organizationzs,‘ etc., that did such excellent service in | 1928. A complete canvass is to be made | but anyone who should happen to be missed by the canvassers may send | their subscription direct to Mrs. Eyre.‘ the secretaryâ€"treasurer of the campaign committee. The business firms and corporations have already been circuâ€" larized and other plans perfecied to make the canvass proceed with efficienâ€" cy and despatch. The campaign comâ€" mittee headquarters will be in the Homer L. Gibson Co. offices on Pine street. Everyone should be ready for the canvassers. Give them a pleasant,‘ and genial welcome, for they are giving their time and effort generously to do| a good work. And give as largely as| you can to help on the good work for the youngsters of the district who may need assistance. In the 1928 campaign a thorough canâ€" vass was made of this district, a houseâ€" toâ€"house canvass being made in Timâ€" mins, Schumacher and South Porcuâ€" pine. The campaign committee was so efficient in 1928 that they were urged to take up the work again on this ocâ€" S. Wheeler was a delegate from the North at the annual meeting of the Ontario Football Association held at Hamilton last week. Mr. Wheeler says that many important matters were considered and discussed at the meetâ€" ing and many questions of interest in regard to football dealt with.

PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 208592 2 Sections â€" 12 Pages l A letter was received from the Hawk Lake Lumber Co. asking if the council lwould contribute towards to cost of building a new bridge over Fulham Creek. The present structure was unâ€" safe and would have to be reâ€"placed. The total cost was estimated at $1200 00 to $1400.00. Of this amount the Hawk Lake Co. would contribute a third and another lumber company a third. It was thought that the benefit to the ’ town warranted the paying of the other ‘third of the cost by Timmins. Not only did the bridge give access to town to important industries, but also it proâ€" 3 vided a means of approach to the town pumping station. The council‘s reply to this letter was that it was doubtful if the town could legally contribute to | such a proposal as the bridge was outâ€" side of the town limits. The mayor pointed cut that the town was not any ‘ longer concerned with the pumping ! station as this was now handled by the | Hollinger. Perhaps the Hollinger would ‘be the right party to approach in such ; a case. It might be worth the while of ; the Hollinger to assist in building such | bridge if it gave mecessary access to ‘the pumping station. Mayor Drew I’sald hne understood the Hollinger did : not feel the bridge a necessity for them as the pumping station could be reachâ€" ‘ed by water in the summer and over ‘the ice in the winter. Both Councilâ€" | Jors Carson and Caron voiced the opinâ€" ion that the town could scearcely be exâ€" ‘ pected to spend money on the proposed \new bridge as it was outsidée. of the | town limits and the town was no longer i concerned in the operation of the pumping station. The bridge over the Fulham creek was originally built by Chas. Pierce at his own expense. :;or mining towns, all of whom were handicapped by the law‘s provisions in ' regard to the assessment of mining properties. The mines were understood :to be in favour of some plan such as ithat advocated by Kirkland Lake peoâ€" |ple and endorsed by various organizaâ€" | tions and individuals. Mayor Drew reâ€" | viewed what had already been attemptâ€" ed by representatives of Kirkland Lake, ' Cobalt, Haileybury, Tisdale township and other places. It was eventually ‘ decided that Timmins council would 'send a representative to a meeting to ‘be called at an early date by Teck i township for the various municipalities concerned to consider the matter and see what action, if any, would be best MANY QUESTIONS BEFORE TGWN GOUNCIL MEETING Council Asked to Assist in Cost of New Bridge Over Fulham Creek. _ Will Coâ€"cperate with Teck Township in Matter of Mine Assessâ€" ments. The regular meeting of the Timmins town council was held on Monday afâ€" ternoon with Mayor Geo. S. Drew in the chair and Councillors A. G. Carâ€" son, Dr. Lee Honey, R. Richardson, Alâ€" fredâ€" Caron, J. T. Chenier and C. P. Ramsay present. ‘The session was a busy one with much routine business being disposed of. A letter was received by the council from Norman Evoy, reeve of the townâ€" ship of Teck, in regard to steps proposâ€" ed to secure desired amendments to the: mining tax act and the assessment act. The township of Teck was prepared to spend some money for counse} and other expenses in a fight to assure the necessary amendments to the law. The feeling of Timmins in the matter was asked. Mayor Drew pointed out that this matter had previously been before council. In nutshell it meant that effort was being made to secure a largâ€" er amount from taxation of mining properties The Timmins council exâ€" pressed its concurrence with the plans outlined by the Teck council and proâ€" mised a large measure of moral support for any plans to secure more revenue in view of all the cireumstances and conditions. Mr. Thachuk, representing the Ukrainian Society, was present to ask council to reconsider its attitude of last year in regard to asking the society to pay same seventeen dollars a year for taxes on a lot owned by the town next to the Ukrainian hall. Mr. Thachuk said theUkrainian society had fixed up the lot, planted trees and otherwise beautified the lot, which was used as a children‘s playground. A fence had been put around the lot and other exâ€" pense incurred. The 1926 town counâ€" cil, Mr. Thachuk said, had agreed to allow the Ukrainians to use the lot free of all cost if the trees were planted and the other provisions carried out. Mr. Thachuk said that the society had more than carried out its promises, but now the town wanted to charge the society some seventeen dollars a year for the use of the land. Mayor Drew pointed out that several times the town could have rented the lot for woodyard purâ€" poses and other uses, but on account of the improved appearance of the lot through the good work of the Ukrainâ€" fans this had not been done. I,fi was distinctly understood that in case the town at any time wanted the lot for any purpose the Ukrainian society were to vacate it at once. The charge of $17.50 was for local improvements taxes that had to be paid, these taxes apyplyâ€" ing to every class of property whether exempt otherwise or not. If no one else paid the $17.50 the town would have to do so. When the understanding was (Continued on Page Eight) PRICE FIVE CENTS _ the t for wetre
