He had paid his taxes every year till last year. He thought taxpayers should be given a chance at town relief work: He ‘suggested that one man only in town three months was working steadâ€" ily for the town, but this was quesâ€" tioned by the mayor. ‘Town Engineer MacLean did not know of any men working on relief who was not a reguâ€" lar resident of the town. All the deâ€" serving cases could not be put on. Every day, the engineer said, there were a hundred or more men seeking work without a place for them. He tried to spread the work so as to give all some help, but it was very difficult. The citizen was asked to find out the name of the transient and the case would be attended to. There were ocâ€" casional cases where men got on town relief work by misrepresentation, but they were soon caught. The mayor explained that the counâ€" cil was doing its best to help all citiâ€" zens but that there was not room for all who can not pay their taxes, and that in all relief work it had to be conâ€" sidered that too great a burden could not be placed on the taxpayers when so many of them were having a hard â€" "Were you unemployed last Thyrsâ€" day when I saw you at the station?" asked Councillior Richardson. Then the deputation on "demands" came forward.

Council promised to see what could be done to help this family, preferably by findâ€" ing work for the young man. Mayor Geo. 8. Drew presided at the regular meeting Monday afternoon and Counciliors A. Caron, Dr. Honey, R. T. Chenier and J. Morrison were present. A communication was read from an association said to be of the unemâ€" ployed, but evidently just another alias for the group of aliens who have been agitating in town and in other towns and cities for some years past.. The letter said that at a mass meeting reâ€" cently the unemployed had formulated a number of demands which the counâ€" cil was asked to grant at once. These demands suggested work at $3.00 per day and failing that (or probably preâ€" ferable to that) $8.50 in cash per week for each man unemployed with $1.00 extra per week for each dependent; also free milk, free water, free light, free medical service, free nursing, in fact, nearly everything free, and also that there should be no evictions for nonâ€"payment of rent. There was a deputation present to support the letter of demands but before this deputation spoke to the council, there were some genuine relief cases for council to conâ€" siger. 1 Much of the time of the town counâ€" cil on Monday afternoon was wasted by more demands and deputations from an alleged unemployed association, but the mayor and council made it plain that the town intends to carry on as before, seeing that citizens in need are helped first, and after that, that only those willing to work and help themselves will have any consideration.

It is a practical protection against the possibility of the disease. Medical science has proven that this inoculaâ€" tion, if carried on generally, means the complete wiping out of diphtherie.

Many readers have asked as to the trial by the jJudge of Mrs. Lena Tom Stevenson, who was committed for trial here some weeks ago on charges of fraud and fortuneâ€"telling. At the preâ€" liminary hearing here the star witness was a Timmins man who alleged that the woman had secured $900.00 from him by various means and on various excuses. The story told by this witâ€" ness was remarkable one and was reminiscent of days supposed to be gone long since, when superstitious fears and beliefs held men in anxiety and deâ€" sire to propitiate the powers of the ather world. ‘The woman elected to be tried by the judge and asked for a DATE OF TRIAL OF GYPSY . wWOMAN NOT ANNOUNCED iJoumal-Argus became one of the most widely quoted and successful newspaâ€" pers in the Dominionâ€"successful for its excellence as a newspaper, successâ€" ful for its financial soundness, and, above all, successful for the genuine service given to the public welfare in St. Mary‘s and district.
