The Northern News last week says:â€" “Charges are pending against four householders in Kirkland Lake and four in Swastika in the matter of removing a quantity of pulp wood recently from Culver Park. The wood was piled there last winter and despite several orders by the municipal council to the owners to remove same, nothing was done. In the election campaign just ended, it is alleged that the reeve told people to help themselves to the wood.

Councillor Poole took his views on the subject to Judge Hayward, when His Honour heard ap- peals from the Court of Revision in the township, and the judge, after tak- ing the matter under consideration, has notified the municipality that he could not officially deal with the ques- tion, since it had not been brought be- fore the Court of Revision. The sub- ject had been discussed at a meeting of lthe township! council. when it was agreed to submit it to His Honour for a ruling, but no formal motion was Ipassed to this effect. Judge Hayward ualso rendered his decision in the ap- 'peals lodged by E. Hermlston. former member of the council, who had asked that his assessment be re-adjusted, since he had arranged to transfer part of his property to his sons. His re- quest was refused and the appeals not allowed. Mr. Hermiston had asked ithat two of his sons be entered on the ’ voters' list as farmer’s sons, although it 'had been admitted by him that they :had been working in other capacities, Ebut lived with their parents at home. :These were the only appeals to be en- itered against the v0 ers' lists in Bucke township this year, and no changes {will be necessary for the forthcoming {municipal elections there.

We have for some time been at a loss to account for the re- ticence of these gentlemen when asked for a picture and can only attribute it to an undue sense of modesty. “It is therefore with extra pleasure that we say to the rest of the family “Meet Mr. J.

Marie Canal locks and through the Welland and St. Lawrence canals in November as com- pared with November of last year. While the aggregate value of construc- tion in November represented by the building permizs issued in 61 cities show a decrease of 32.4 per cent. from November, 1930, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics point out that the whole- sale costs of building materials has de- creased by 46.1 per cent. in the past decade. The purchasing public this year is benefiting by the continued drop in retail prices while producers are en- joying an increase in wholesale prices for raw and partly manufactured ma- terial.

The properties. which adjoin consist of some 1,800 acres at Woman Lake, Red Lake min- ing division. It has been suggested that a new company be formed for the purpose of taking over the properties for a stock consideration. Mintore has some cash in its treasury and there is also owing to it moneys by Jackson-Manion. It is preposed that Mintore release this debt and provide the new company with some cash so that it will own the properties outright, owe no debts and have cash in the treasury. The proposals are that stock in the old conipanies be exchanged for shares in the new at. the rate of one new for five old. plus 10 per cent. of amount required for this exchange. Jackson- Manion has about 3,300,000 shares is- sued and Mintore about 2,340,000 shares. The latter company, under the agreement. would turn over to the new company all the cash in its treasury. with the exception of $2.000. coasters, etc., $238,851; tricyc velocipedm $270,508; cast in $73,077: wooden "toys. $209.81 other toys not specified, $76,733 It is interesting to note the type of toys being manufactured in Canada. According to 1929 production figures. there were 3:21.096 dolls manufactured in Canada. with a tofal factory value of 5334.493; dolls’ furnishings and parts amounted to $11,663; toy animals, $18.- 378; toy furniture, $69,346; dolls' car- riages, 326.764; toy wagons. carts. coasters, etc., $238,851; tricycles and Christmas Brings Much Help to Trade Department of Trade and Commerce Estimate: that Canadian Business Gets Fifty Million Dol'ars from Christmas Business. The Christmas season not only brings happiness and joy to those who give and receive, but also brings with it many blessings to Canadian trade and commerce. The Department of Trade and Commerce have estimated that at the low figure of only $5 per person spent on Christmas snapping. the ag- gregate alone exceeds $50 000.000, and this figure does not take into considerâ€" ation the millions of dollars given in charity each year. Manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade revives under the impetus of this new blood of circulating money, em- ployment increases, and, in fact. the Christmas spirit does inestima’ole bene- fit to the community and coun'fry over and above the personal happiness which it brings. Taking the toy industry as an ex- ample, production by domestic manu- facturers amounted to $1,329 694 in 1929 the latest year, for which figures are available. In that year imports of dolls and toys amounted to $2,828,542 and exports to $49,600. leaving an estimat- ed consumption in Canada of these commodities at more 'than $4,000,000. In the 11 months of the current year imports of toys and dolls amounted to only $1,369,991. These came mainly from the Uni-ted States.
