perty. If the Ukrainiansâ€"did not do so, the town would be in the position of paying the taxes for them as well as giving them the lot free. At the last meeting of council the Ukrainians claimed that a man living next to the ct in question had fenced in part of the lot and was using it for his own purposes. Council had the town enâ€" ginger investigate and found that the man in question was using a quarter of the lot. Accordingly, it was decided that the man in question, Mr. W. Nixâ€" on, should pay one quarter and the Ukrainians three quarters of the taxes on the lot or the lot will be taken over by the town. The matter of the taxes for local imâ€" nrovements on the lot used by the Ukrainian hall was dealt with finally. The Ukrainians were allowed the use of this lot in 1926 without any rent to be charged on the understanding that they would fix it up as a park, and give it over at any time asked by the council. Although the town has had. several offers to rent this lot, the council turnâ€" ed these offers down as the lot had been well attended to and looks well. In the meantime, however, a sidewalk has been built by the property and other local improvements made. â€" The town felt the Ukraintans should at least pay the local improvement taxes on the proâ€" Claude Desaulniers applied to council for permission to instal a gas tank at his new premises on Third avenue near the Queen‘s hotel. He also asked that the power pole right in front of his building be moved to the boundary line of the lot, the power company beâ€" ing ready to do this if the eouncil.asked for it. The requests of Mr. Desaulniers were granted, with the proviso that the installation of the tank be done under the supervision and according to the instructions of the town engineer, the sidewalk and other town property to be replaced in as good a condition as be"ore the work was done. In this connection Councillor Ramsay called attention to the fact that in at least one case in town there was a gas tank altogether too close to a town hydrant. Councilâ€" lor Ramsay thought this might be inâ€" convenient or dangerous in case of fire. Fire Chief Borland, when asked about the matter, said that the gas tanks should be at least ten or fifteen feet away from the hydrants. In the case Mr. Ramsay had in mind, the tank was closer to the hydrant. Councilior Ramsay thought that cars parked to secure gas might interfere with access to the hydrant in case of fire. _ The council thought it would be a good idea to keep this fact in mind when gas tanks were being installed, and this will be done. The St. John Ambulance Brigade apâ€" plied for permission to hold a bazaar in town in the near future. There were several citizens before the council in regard to arrears of taxes. in some of the cases there was misunâ€" derstanding as to the amount due, and in these cases, the clerk will give a deâ€" tailed statement showing the amount of taxes in arrears, with any payments made, and with the penalties and inâ€" terest charges shown. the hospital would not be tolerated. In case there is any more trouble with this fellow, whose actions have been most obnoxious and senseless, he will be removed to the jail under care of a male nurse, pending his committal to an asylum or other provincial instituâ€" TOWN COUNGIL CONSIDERS REPORT QN RELIEF GASES the present time. There are sixteen cases where individuals or families are receiving help regularly from the town in the way of relief. In addition there are a large number of what may be termed transient cases. It was the latâ€" ter that. thg report dealt with chiefly Some of the cases mentioned in the reâ€" port are not at present receiving any assistance from the town, the relief having helped them over a time of illâ€" ness or other illâ€"fortune and the breadâ€" winner being able to return to work. It is apparent from the report that the relief officer does all possible to secure the early return of those securing relief to a seifâ€"sustaining basis. The report also indicated the large amount of patient work that must be done by this officer in the way of investigation and assistance to the cases dealt with. iIn reading the report Mayor Drew said that if any of the councillors knew anyâ€" thing about any of the cases helpful inâ€" formation might be given to the relief officer. The town had to keep relief expenditures to. the lowest possible figure and members of the council might be able to help in this by giving any information they might have in regard to any individual case. One case was given special consideration by the council. This was a man who was ill and had been looked after for some time by the town. Recently he had been taken to the hospital, but his lanâ€" guage and actions were so objectionâ€" able that the nurses had complained and the hospital felt that in justice to others the man would have to be taken away unless he acted differently. The council condemned very strongly the ungrateful and evil attitude of this man, and it was decided to have the: chief give him one warning that his abuse of the kindness shown him at The regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday afternoon with Mayor Geo. S. Drew in the chair and Councillors A. G. Carson, Dr. Lee Honey, R. Richardson, Alfred Caron, C. P. Ramsay and J. T. Chenier present. Possibly the most interesting feature of the meeting was the reading and disâ€" cussion of a report by Relief Officer L. E. Dunn on the relief cases in town at Relief Officer‘s Review of Charity Cases in Town. Other Town Council Business at Session of Council on Monday. number of amounts were written Some time ago a gentleman in town had a couple of suits of clothes stolen from his home. He notified the police who recovered the clothes in a secondâ€" hand store, the suits having been sold to the store for four dollars. The seâ€" condâ€"hand store proprietor was eventuâ€" ally able to point out to the police the man who had sold the suits and he was arrested. In police court this week he said he did not remember taking the clothes or selling them, having been on a spree at the time. He was allowed to go on promise to abstain from drinking liquor and on furnishing a bond for good behaviour. In case he falls from the straight and narrow path he will be brought back to court for sentence. The owner of the clothes had his possessions returned to him, and the accused man had to pay the costs, some $24.00. An effort is being made to revive the Timmins e Chorus. Any singers interested should get in touch with Mr. A. W. Snow. The Timmins Male Chorus in the past proved a decided acquisition to the musical organizations of the town . It was of value to the singers and a source of 3enuine pleasâ€" ure to other musicâ€"lovers, and the plans to get the organization in active service again should receive the heartiâ€" est support of all. off the tax rolls as a matter of bookâ€" keeping, the amounts being assessed in error or to the wrong party or for other valid reason. The usual byâ€"law to enable the town to borrow from the bank for current expenditures until the taxes for the year come in was given its required readings and fimally passed. Followâ€" ing the plan of last year and other years it allows borrowing so far as necessary up to $400,000. On motion, it was decided to call for tenders for the making of uniforms for ten firemen and the fire chief, the suits to have two pairs of trousers. The periury charge preferred against A. Robitaile following evidence given by him in a recent L. C. A. case, was reâ€" manded for another week. The reason for the remands in this case is that the result of an appeal against the convicâ€" tion on the liquor charge is now being awaited. The charge of the theft of trees preâ€" ferred by Bruno Carnovale in connecâ€" tion with the cutting of some timber on some property that he owns near town, was withdrawn. Wm. G. Cowan and John Roy Davidâ€" son were charged with the theft of a pair of rubber boots from a. trunk in a boarding house in town. They pleaded not guilty, but were conviected and each was sentenced to three months in jail The police case was to the effect that the rubber boots, $5.85 in cash, and some other goods were taken from the trunk, the two accused men having been seen in the room before the theft was discovered, and the possession of the stolen rubber boots being traced to them. A charge of wifeâ€"beating was withâ€" drawn, the costs belng paid by the husâ€" band, and the wife not wishing to further press the charge. A man living in a boarding house on Broadway was charged with having liquor not purchased on his permit. To the police he said that he was the owner of the beer and that it was his room in which it was found. In court he denied that it was his room and there not being evidence to disprove the defence the case was dismissed. For being drunk in charge of a motor car Rene Desjardins was sentenced to ten days in jail. The charge was laid by Constable Noyes of Schumacher. A Schumacher man found carrying a quantity of liquor on street in Timmins at an early hour on a recent morning was assessed $100.00 and costs for hayâ€"< ing liquor not on his permit. At the same court two men charged with being drunk were each fined $10.00 and costs. As one of them was also sentenced to three months in jail on 2 theft charge it is not likely that he will pay the fine and so will be otherwise called upon to serve a thirtyâ€"day term in jail. At police court this week R. Edleston, game warden for the district had a charge against Emil Kuusela, of the township of Hoyle, for being in illegal possession of moose meat out of season. Magistrate Atkinson imposed a fine of $20.00 and costs, the total cost to the accused being $32.00, which made it expensive moose meat. As Game Warâ€" den Edleston intends to see that the law is properly observed, and there is consequently probability of several other similar cases unless the measures for the protection of game are properly observed, it would be well for all conâ€" cerned to note this case and so follow the law that they may not be called upon to put up similar fine and costs. A young man named A. Kidd was sentenced last week to three months in jail for the illegal taking of a motor car and the unlawfully using of same. The motor car thus taken without authority or permission was owned by J. R. Todd, of Schumacher, who is understood to have been puszled lately by the amount of gas that his car seemed to use. The explanation apâ€" peared to be given when it was found that the car was being taken out of the garage and used without Mr. Todd‘s knowledge. The Schumacher police were notified of the disappearance of the car one,day recently from Mr. Todd‘s garage) and they got busy on the case and by clever work were able to trace the offender. The result was the arrest and trial of Kidd with the senâ€" tence of three months resulting.

Each bcoard levies its rate independently of the other, but the school board of the majority is callâ€" ed a commission.

ABOUT SGHOOL TAXATION IN PROVINGE OF QUEBEG The following letter was received this week for publication in The Advance:â€" February 1l1th, 1930 Plans for Asseqsments for Taxes for School Purposes in the Province of Quebec. Methods of Apporâ€" tioning School Taxes The Bartlett Zone Syndicate properâ€" ty is located at the fourâ€"mile post Bartâ€" lett and Geikie. A New York group of financiers have been interested in the property and they have offered to put a diamond drill m»n the property in the spring. It is understood that the offer of the New York people has been accepted and that extended work will follow the diaâ€" mond drilling. There is considerable interest being shown at present in the Bartlett Zone Syndicate property in Bartlett townâ€" ship. In fact there is a decided reâ€" currence of interest generally in Bartâ€" lett township where work has been carâ€" ried on recently on more than one promising property. The Bartlett Zone Syndicate property has come in for special attention in view of the results obtained. Messrs Jos. Theriault and Steve Berrigan have been working on the property all winter and now have something to show for their efforts. They have traced the main vein for a full 92 feet, running a trench along in the nature of a test pit. Every shot they put in gave chalcopyrite showings across 92 feet. The assays show gold, silver, nickel, copper, and platinum. All the assays give copper showings. Some of the samples assay $2.83 in gold, $2,43 in silver, with indications of nickel and platinum. â€" The copper showings are said to be especially good. The ore body has been traced for threeâ€"quarâ€" ters of a mile in length, all in good ore. J. A. Theriault, who is the manager of the property, was looking some time ago for an expert to assist in the work of exploration and development of the property and was fortunate to secure Steve Berrigan, who not only is an oldâ€" time prospector of this North with a wide experience and special knowledge ard skill, but who also had some years‘ practical work in the Sudbury district copper and nickel mines. Mr. Berrigan believes that the Bartlett Zone Syndiâ€" cate property‘s ore is the same as in the Sudbury area, and he has high faith in the possibilities of the claims.

The regular anniversary supper given by the Ladies Aid of the United Church, Timmins, was held in the church hall on Tuesday evening of this week and as usual drew a very large attendance. The event gave great pleasure to all attending and was in every way a genuine credit to the Ladies‘ Aid. The supper was a deligntâ€" ful one, including a turkey dinner, with salads, pie, etc., etc. The young ladios in charge of the tables gave a particuâ€" larly effective service, and everything from the cocking to the waiting on tables was of the most satisfactory kind. During the supper a pleasing feature was the excellent pianoforte music given by Miss Anne Scott, the numbers by this talented pianist being greatly appreciated. More than the usual number of tables were set and all were filled, the stream of customers for the delicious supper being steady from 5.30 to 8 p.m. The Ladies‘ Aid anniverâ€" sary supper on Tuesday evening may well be set down as another success to add to the list of these enjoyable anâ€" nual church suppers.
