A. W. Leach, chairman of the Volunâ€" teer Firemen, presided in capable way, calling first upon Mayor Geo. S. Drew, who sugzested that this banquet event kept getting better from year to year. The mayor commented on the smooth running of the fire derhrtnent and the remarkably fine public service given by the chief and his men. Mayor Drew spoke of the regret felt at the illness of the chief last year and the pleasure of all to see Chief Borland back at his duties again as usual The mayor thanked the fire department for the kindly thought given him when he was ill recently. He had special praise also for Mrs. Borland, Sr., and Mrs. Borâ€" land, Jr., for the fine repast enjoyed, and he concluded by wishing the deâ€" partment all success in the future as in the past. A pleasing feature on the evening programme was the radioâ€"style singing of five young men from the Timmins High School. These young men, with â€"ukelele sccompaniment, gave a number of very catchy numbers during the evening and won very hearâ€" ty applause. They presented their numbers in radio style, doing their own announcing in witty way, and each taking the part of a nited artist. The five were:â€"Murray Morrison, Ken Tomkinson, Gerald Scqilly, Jim Pond, and Ed. Copps. Their numbers were very cleverly given ad were greatly enjoyed. Fire Chief A. Borlad was given rousing reception wher he was called on. He thanked the mayor and counâ€" cil, the brigade and the public in genâ€" eral for their interest ind kindness last year when he had ben laid up. ‘The fire chief referred to the harmonious way that the department throughout had functioned last year and he hoped for the same in the wesent year,.

A letter from Dr. McClinton told of the serious need for treatment. The young man has been good citizen of Timâ€" mins since 1917, and the case seemed a worthy one.

Much Routine Business Dealt with by Timmins Council at First Regular Session New Council Deals With Much Business in Brief Session The mayor also referred to the good |work done by H. E. Montgomery, clerk } and treasurer, at Ottawa recently where he had secured a cheque for $760.19 from the Government for local imâ€" provement charges due the town in connection with the post office proâ€" perty. The charges were for walks, pavements, sewers, etc., before the proâ€" perty was used for the post office buildâ€" ing. The Government had refused to pay the charges, but the clerk was able to show the authorities at Ottawa that both in law and fairness they shceuld do so. The mayor thought that though | the clerk‘s trip to Ottawa had been on !his own business in the first place, he ‘had done so well for the town that at ‘least part of his expenses should be !defra.yed by the municipality and with | this the councillors all agreed. Mayor Drew liat about 65 men were now receiving meals from the town, only one meal per day being given, but this one being a good one. According to Relief Officer Dunn only one of those supplying meals had provâ€" ed unsatisfactory to the men and the cnes in question had been allowed to go to one of the other places authorâ€" ized. Mayor Drew said that the town had expended less than fifty per cent. of the relief money to date. Little but the work on sewer construction could be carried on at present. Every effort was being made to make the relief work as helpful as possible all round. The sum of $559.67 was passed for payment to the township of Tisdale, being 1928 tax arrears of Tisdale townâ€" ship collected here in 1931. Reeve C. V. Gallagher and Clerk F. C. Evans, of Tisdale, arrived when the council had adjourned to sit on some oldâ€"age pension applications. They had a conference with the council in regard to matters in connection with payments due the township by the town on taxes collected in the sections annexed to Timmins from Tisdale township, and also in reference to the balance due Tisdale under the agreeâ€" ment for the taking over of the incinâ€" erator by Timmins. Reeve Gallagher and Clerk Evans gave a very graphic review of the situation in reference to| both matters and proposed the pay-‘ ment by Timmins to Tisdale of a lump sum in lieu of the taxes payable.

In one case the council by resolution approved of an agreement whereby one group of proâ€" perties held by the town for tax arâ€" rears was to be redeemed by a down payment and monthly payments over a term of months. The agreement is automatically to be cancelled if the terms are not fulfilled. The property On motion of Councillor A. P. Dooâ€" ley and Councillor J. T. Chenier, it was decided that the meetings of the Timâ€" mins council be held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 4 pm. for the year 1932 as in past A. G. Irving and D. Ostrosser were reâ€"appointed as members of the High school board for the next three years. Routine accounts were passed, payâ€" rools authorized, etc. The sum of $300.00 charged to the township of Tisdale was authorized to be written off, this being a charge against the township for incinerator maintenance which it had been agreed to drop when the agreement was made {Gieneral Meeting Monday of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary The Ladies Auxiliary of the Canaâ€"|! dian Legion will ho!ld a general meetâ€"| ing on Monday, January 18th, in the’ hall.

O. Langdon, it was decided to hold the annual meeting of the local board of trade on Friday evenâ€" ing, Jan. 29th, at 8 o‘clock, in the town hall, Fourth avenue. The date was selected so that the local board could be organized for the year before the meeting here of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade.

This ‘seems to be a difficulty encountered by other boards of trade all through the ‘North Land. It is to be hoped, howâ€" ever that the annual meeting on Friâ€" | day, Jan. 29th, will be different in this respect, and that there wiil be a speciâ€" ally large attendance to hear the reâ€" l During the past year the Timmins Annual Meeting of the Board of Trade At the January meeting of the Castle Douglas Camp, S.0.S.

And for the same, many thanks in advance by The GUARD AGAINST MISSING A COPY OF THE ADVANCE for the yvear and elect the officers as the usual very prompt response of the fire brigade and the good work done averted a much more serious fire. Had the blaze occurred later in the evening, some of those rooming in the apartments upstairs would have been endangered. As it was all were able to get out safely and there was no damâ€" age upstairs by fire or water though some of the tenants in the second storey lost through smoke damage. Mr. Remus was working in his store in the evening when he heard a pecuâ€" liar crackling noise. He though it was water running into the cellar and went to investigate. He discovered the fire in progress and grabbing his coat he ran to the front of the store to give the alarm. A young man passing the store gave the alarm but when Mr. Remus tried to get back to his office at the rear of the store the flames and smoke were so bad that he could not do so, the fire spreading along the beaverboard with great rapidity. On the arrival of the brigade Chief Borland and his men gave their attenâ€" tion to locating the fire and to seeing that all were out of the building upâ€" tairs and down. The chief source of the fire was located and though the blaze was running along the partition the fire was gotten under control before long. It was not necessary to use the water upstairs, the chemical extinâ€" guishers doing good work there, but in the daownstairs section the water damâ€" age was necessarily heavy, the Remus stocks especially having to suffer. Valuable chinaware on shelves running high up along the walls was swept off and smashed by the hose lines. The stocks in the Bowie store also suffered in similar way, while the fire also desâ€" troyed valuable goods in both places. Showcases and fixtures naturally sufâ€" fered from the combination of heat from the fire and the cold water from the hose. There were several casualties among the firemen before the blaze was exâ€" tinguished. Fireman Jim Mortson made two or three trips upstairs to see that all the tenants there were safely out and to recover special valuables. He was wearing a gas mask but on reâ€" turning from one of his trips to the second storey, he collapsed, possibly from carbon monoxide fumes generated upstairs. He was unconscious for some minutes, and a doctor‘s services were required, but he was shortly back again to his usual cheery self. Art Saint, another of the firemen, was at the are very Dadiy aamaged Dy smoKe alnd water as well as by fire. The loss ds covered by insurance in the case of the stores and of the building itself. There was $8,000.00 insurance on the Remus stocks, and $13,000.00 on the Bowie stocks, and $3,000.00 on the buildâ€" ing which was formerly the old post office, and is owned by Mrs H. Peters, now of St. Catharines, Ont., but forâ€" merly of Timmins. The insurance adâ€" justor is expected here this evening to adjust the losses. The alarm for the fire was given at about 8.30 pm. Monday night and the time of the discovery of the fire as well merly justor adjust Fire from Furnace Pipe Causes Heavy Damage to Stocks in Two Stores. Building Damaged.

Bowie and Remus Stores are Damaged by Fire on Monday rear of the building and broke a winâ€" dow to allow the play of the hose on the fire. A sheet of flame shot out in his face, knocking him down, and he was burned around the face and neck. A do¢ctor was needed also in his case, but he was back at work as usual on Wednesday. Fireman A. Ayotte lso struck illâ€"luck, or illâ€"luck struck him. He was hit on the back by a falling lamp globe and a doctor‘s services were necessary in his case as well, Chief Borland fell on the ice and hurt his knee, but like his men he is hard to put out of the running long, all the firemen being on the job again as usual, despite accidents and injuries. At first it looked as if the building on account of its light construction and the way the fire spread along the parâ€" titions, would be a total loss, but the good work of the firemen avoided this. While the stocks were, badly damaged and the building injured, the fire was soon under control. The smoke was very bad and made fireâ€"fighting the more difficult. The tenants upstairs included:â€"office of Arch. Gillies, civil engineer; office of V. Woodbury, manuâ€" facturer‘s agent; and several rooms and apartments. Damage was done to some of these by smoke, but the injury was not serious. Wednesday morning Mr. Gillies sent a cheque for $10.00 to the fire brigade as a mark of appreâ€" clation for the good work done in sayvâ€" ing his office. Special comment was made by many on the able way in which Chief Jones and his police staff handled the crowds that gathered at the fire. The crowds were handled in city style and this left the firemen unâ€" hampered in their work of fireâ€"fighting. It is an odd fact that immediately following the annual report of the fire chief for last year and after the anâ€" nual fire department banquet on Monâ€" day night, it should be necessary to chronicle more fires than usual. There were eight calls in the last week, but as a matter of fact the handling of these fires simply prove the, truth of what guests at the banquet had said in regard to the value and efficiency of the brigade. On Jan. "th at 10 pm. there was a chimney fire at 63 Sixth avenue, with no damage done. On the 9th at 7 p.m. fire in the garâ€" bage chute in the Marshallâ€"Ecclestone building created a little excitemanit. The fire either originated from sponâ€" taneous combustion or from a dropped cigarette. The firemen located the trouble and dealt promptly with it with only a slight smoke damage resulting. On the same date at 10.30 p.m. a little damage was done at 85 Balsam street south from overheated stovepipes. On Jan. l1ith stovepipes and chimney at 135 Wilson avenue resulted in a call for the brigade. At 9.40 a.m. January 12th there was a chimney fire at 123 Commercial avenue. At 8.01 the same date there was a chimney fire at 30 Middleton. Then on the same date at 8.30 there was the fire at the former post office block on Pine street. On the 13th at 3.20 pm. at 65 Elm street north. The fire at the old post office building was the only one of any proâ€" portions. All Should Attend Poultry Show Here Notable Annual Event in Progress at 5 Spruce Street, South, on day and Thursday of This Werek. The annual exhibition of the Porâ€" curine Poultry and Pet Stock Associaâ€" tion is in progress at 5 Spruce street, south, coposite the freight sheds, the dates of the event being Wedne:day and Thursday, Jan. 13th and 14th. The poultry show here is always an event of great interest and importance and this year‘s event should be an outâ€" standing one. This is the ninth anâ€" nual event of this kind and the officers and directors have been bending every effort to make the show the best yet. The weather conditions yesterday, and especially the very slippery condition of the icy roads and walks no doubt interfered somewhat with the success of the first day but the signs are all for anctiger suceess to be added to the list of the Poultry Association‘s good annual events. Any who failed to take in the show yesterday should be sure to attend toâ€"day or this evening. It is well worth while seeing the disrlay of prize poultry, dogs and pet stock. Further reference to this event will be made in next week‘s issue of The Advance, together with the list of prize winners in the variqus classes and events. Mr. and Mrs, H. S. Robinson left on Saturday last by motor with the intenâ€" tion of driving to Florida for a holiday in that sunny clime. Mayor Drew then made brief adâ€" dress to the new council expressing his pleasure at seeing so many of the 1931 council back again, and welcoming Councillor Dooley as the neéew member. Mayor Drew expressed his appreciation at being honoured by being reâ€"elected mayor. He hoped the same spirit of harmony and coâ€"operation so evident in the last and previous councils would prevail in 1932, and he felt sure it would. He syoke of the time and inâ€" terest given by the councillors last year, the attendance at meetings being noteâ€" worthy and work in committee being equally well attended to. Mayor Drew said that Councillor Chateauvert would be missed, but he felt Councillor Dooley would worthily fill the place. Eoonâ€" omy had to be the watchword for this year, the mayor said, and every effort should be made to keep expenses down. The town is in very satisfactory condiâ€" tion at present, and it was desired to keep it so, the mayor said. Unemployâ€" ment seemed to be increasing here while opportunities for. employment were not increasing. Unless new proâ€" ducers opened here or lumber operaâ€" tions omned up, there would be ns chances for increased employment. Much had been done for the relief of the unemployed. It was desired to avoid borrowing any more money on debentures than could be avoided. The Dominion Government was paying over 5 per cent., and established cities like Hamilton over 6 per cent., so Timmins could expect to pay maybe 7 per cent. on debentures. It was desirable thereâ€" fore to pay as we go, so far as possible. Councillor A. P. Dooley had the honâ€" our of moving the first resolution on the books for the yearâ€"the endorsew ment of the report of the striking comâ€" mittee. . . now. It would rest with the council to decide whether the town should pay its share by the issue of debentures or otherwise. Fire and Lightâ€"J. .T. Chenier, chairâ€" man; Dr. Honey, A. P. Dooley.

The town engineer and the relief officer certainly were faced with many difficulties, One rule was to emâ€" a striking committee to name the standing committees for 1932%. This committee reported and its report was adopted by council without dissent. The following are the standing comâ€" mittees of council for the year:â€" ploy only those supporting homes here, and it had been found in some cases that men had "adopted" families "to secure the work. All the councillors were called upn by the mayor for addresses, each one responding briefly. All the old counâ€" cillors referred to the harmony and coâ€" operation in 1931 and looked for a conâ€" tinuance in 1932. Councillor Morrizon noted that there were only 12 h>uses now in town without chance for water service. Councililor Dooley said he would do his best and he felt sure that everything would go along well. Cxamâ€" cillor Chenier expressed similar views. Councillor Richardson referred to the collection of taxes, po‘inting out that unless taxes were collected the town‘s business could not be carried on. Last year the taxes in arrears amounted to $100,000.00 less than in 1930. The overâ€" draft had been reduced to nil, saving the town much in interest charges. It was hoped to continue this policy this year. The mayor commented that some were deliberately trying to avoid paying taxes, devious schemes being used. After thirty days it was the inâ€" tention to force payment in these cases by tax sale or otherwise, Dr. 8. L. Honey of the success of the fire department last year. He for a drop in insurance rates, which at present he thought were unfair, espeâ€" clally for residential sections of the town. Councillior A. Caron noted that in his two years on the council board he had missed only one meeting. He touched on the difficulty of the relief [questlon In his own business he had been imposed on by a man who had "adopted" a family, and there wen. similar cases no doubt in regard to town work. The inaugural meeting of the Timâ€" mins town council for 1932 was held at 11 o‘clock on Monday morning, the mayor and councillors being duly sworn into office for the ensuing year. After the swearingâ€"in of the mayor and ccuncillors, the mayor named Councilâ€" lors Richardson, Honey and Caron as Financeâ€"R. Richardson, chairman Alfred Caron, Dr. Honey.
