A letter was received from the Davey Tree Expert Co. of Canada, Limited, inquiring as to how the trees in Timâ€" mins had come through the winter and offering the town free inspection of the town trees with expert tree surâ€" gery available at the town‘s request later, presumably at specified rates. Mayor Drew said that if application were made for a parade on Monday and if the permission were given, any floats or banners would have to be subâ€" mitted to the police first, as it was not intended that insulting or objectionâ€" able banners or devices should be carâ€" ried.

"We‘ don‘t intend to," replied Thaâ€" chuk, "We would sooner carry anâ€" other flag." Many in the group have suggested the red flag, according to Thachuk, who added that if the Rusâ€" sian emblem were carried the Union Jack might also ‘be carried as was done in the West sometimes. Mr. Thachuk enumerated the various groups, including the Ukrainian and Finnish organizations that he said were affiliated with the United Front Conference. Mayor Drew thought Sunday not a ‘suuitableâ€"day, and suggested theâ€"coun might be asked for permission for theg parade on Monday. Mr. Thachuk said he did not think that would suit the’ United Fronters. In answer to a query from the mayor as to whether the group had not made the statement that they intended to hold parade with or without permission, Thachuk kept siâ€" lent. Mayor Drew then called attenâ€" tion to the fact that the group had agreed not to parade in March but to wait until May lst. Despite this un-' derstanding they had proceeded withi the March parade. The mayor feolt; that in view of this breach of faith | they had forfeited any claim to c'onâ€"_i sideration. 5 | A communication was received from the United Front Conference asking for permission under the town byâ€"law to hold a parade here with banners, etc., on Sunday, May Ist.

Mr. Greaves said f that the relief fund was about exhaustâ€" ied. About $2,000.00 had been expended by the Legion for relief during the past ]year. There were still cases to be dealt with and the Legion‘s relief fund was now exhausted. The Legion‘s work !during the past yvear had relieved the town to a large extent. Comrade Belâ€" |lamy spoke along similar lines, asking council for grant to carry on the good work. Mayor Drew said he fulily appreciated the good work of the Legion, but he ! could not see how the town could give i Mr. Phillips also presented a bill for coal supplied Mr. Flanagan to test out | the disposal plant The bill went back to 1923, and the council thought it was ‘too long overdue for anytkhing to be done now. The bill should have been paid by Mr. Flanagan. |_â€"â€"_A,. E. Phillips spoke to the council in ?‘regard to a man in one of his houses.

He had not paid any rent for four months and Mr. Fhillips did | not like to put him out of the house as there was no place he could go. Mr. Phillips was willing to take three months‘ rent for the four owing. The council had a rule against payving rent 'except in unusual cases, but thought Mr. Phillips might be helped in getting free of this tenant by having the little \girl there taken to the Shelter, and lthe man then could go away to follow Ihis regular business of cook. a grant. The town maintained a relief department with a paid official to inâ€" vestigate cases. If a grant were made in the case of the Legion other organâ€" izations could request the same help for relief work which was carried on by the town itself. The only way donaâ€" tions could be made by the town would be to give grants to all the churches and. other organizations doing relief work and for the town itself then to discontinue its relief work.

The ‘society ~felt »the â€"effects ‘of~ the â€"~depres= sion in its finances and at the same time found even more than the usual number of calls this year. Mr. Carson touched briefly on the value of the work of the Children‘s Aid and showed how it really saved the town money. G. A. Macdonald, president of the Disâ€" trict C. A. C., also spoke briefly along the samse line, Mayor Drew remarked on the good work of the society, and commented that it had been suggested that the proper way to support work of this kind was by placing it on the rates, but the difficulty in this conâ€" nection was that the work applied to all the district and all the municipaliâ€" tieés were not ready to follow the plan of providing for it by taxation. Evenâ€" tually the council made the usual grantfi of $500.00 and if more is required later will reâ€"consider the matter. Mr. Babcock read some suggested names for the new parkâ€"Timmins park, Mountjoy park, Joy park, River park, Mattagami river park. He asked the council to select or suggest a name but the council left this over. Mr. Babcock said a band stand was to be erected at the park and the Timmins Citizens‘ was ready to coâ€"operate by giving band concerts there in the evenâ€" ings and Sunday afternoons. t Mayor Drew said that the town had no criticism to offer and he felt sute the townspeople would support the par if it were properly conducted as no doubt it would be. cil‘s attention to the case of a lady who had been a resi@ent of Timmins fo: two years past.

The matter was referred to the contingency comâ€" mittee for further investigation and consideration. Mr. Babcock showed the councii the plans for the proposed new park for Timmins being under way at present, work having started this week. Though it was just outside the town and so no permit or license was required from the town he was anxious for the support and coâ€"operation of the council. The park was being installed on the Wilson farm just across the river, this site being favoured by the people of the town as evidénced" in the recent conâ€" test.

It was decided to repair the dam at Big Water. A committee including A. W. Young, R. Fdleston â€" and ~Adna Mason was appointed to look after the woOrk. Strong objection was made to the method adopted last year in the disâ€" tribution of trout by trucks, this being a very unsatisfactory method, many of the trout being destroyed in ths deâ€" lays along the road. The uncertainty in regard to the time of arrival of the trucks also made it impossible to arâ€" range help for the distribution of the trout. It was believed that the rail service was much the better for the purpose. An open season for partridge and pintail grouse was recommended for tlmus season. The meseting voted unanimously against the use of dogs in this district and in the province as a whole. f It was recommended that every memâ€" ber of the Rod and Gun Club be apâ€" piointed a deputy game warden with power to act but without any remunâ€" eration for his services. The meeting was of the opinion that a rod and gun tax should be levied on all persons fishing and hunting. In this way means could be furnished whereby sufficient game wardens could be employed to cover the vast area concerned. It was decided that pressure be brought to bear on the Government to complete fish ladders in all dams on the Mattagami river as recommended by the special committee with Hon. Findlay McDiarmid as chairman. Reference was mades to the question of the dam and water levels at Freâ€" derickhouse Lake. A number of resolutions were passed and are to be brought up at the disâ€" trict meeting. A committee compmisâ€" ing A. W. Young, J. R. Todd, H. G. Skaviem, Jos. Amm and J.
