Instead, the response came from anâ€" other of those spontaneous talkers. He had the same words as the previous talker but a different accent. He was also convinced that $2.00 per cord was (Continued on Page Eight) "You are talking about son you know nothing about," com Councillor Morrison. As the man of selfâ€"assumed elc had no things he knew about t on, the mayor called on the ne son who had anything to bring the ccunceil. "I ~don‘t .] man said, * the Ratepay mand." "otherwise we have no time to bother with your nonsense.‘ The professional talker then went on to say that he was asking on behalf of the workers that the council should not consider the idea of cutting Ooff relief of these who refused the proposal of Silver Sharp to cut pulp at $2.00 per cord. _ The orator thought $3.00 per cord the lowest acceptable figzure. He also asked that the town should not sell the homes of the workers for back taxes. Mayor Drew also made it plain that the council was tired of these taikative feliows wasting time and patience with their propaganda and generalities. "If you have some special case to take up, state it and sit down," said the mayor, Next to take up the time of the counâ€" cil was a fellow with spectacles who wanted to make a speech. He said he wished to talk for the unemployed, but it was easy to see that at least he wished to talk. He referred to the women who had appealed to council for food and been turned away. "You ought to be ashamed of yourâ€" self," interrupted the mayor, "coming here with your impossible demands when there are real cases of deserving hardship needing attention. Another woman whose husband had left her and was not contributing to her support was also before the counâ€" cil for relief. The council felt that the town should not be expected to keep families where there was a husband to do so, and the advice was given this wcman to see the Crown Attorney in the matter. She explained ‘that her husband had already served a term for nonâ€"support, and would not return to her. It was noted by one at the counâ€" cil board that this husband had returnâ€" ed to town and was walking around well dressed and comfortable looking. "Do you kn rorker whose axes?" asked A lady whose Husband had left her four years ago and was not contributâ€" ing to her support, asked council to help in the matter of paying rent. The woman has been getting other relief from the town. Council thought that the husband should be taken into court and made to contribute to the support of his family. It developed that he had sent money for her to join him at the Siscoe Mine, but on account of the journey necessary at that time and the fact that she was in poor health at the time she had been advised not to go. As he had provided the chance for her to join him there was difficulty in prosecuting the man for failure to provide for his wife. She was advised to see the Crown Attorney. "It is no use," she told the council, "for I have no money to fight the case." She exâ€" plained that the Crown Attorney had givyen her to understand that money would be necessary. The mayor told her to go back to the Crown Attorney and explain that she had been directâ€" ed to do so by the mav>r of the town. A letter was received from a man signing himself as Humphries and claiming to represent a mass meeting of workers numbering 85. The letter pretended to deal with the question of pulpwood cutting at $2.00 per cord, which was considered too low a figure. The mass meeting was said to have deâ€" cided on $3.00 per cord as the lowest figure acceptable to them. The council was asked not to refuse relief to any Objecting to going to the bush at $2.00 per cord. The letter also asked the council to provide tents for sleeping accommodation for the transients here. T‘wo meals a day at any restaurant in town was also asked ‘by the letter, as well as the holding off of any sales of property for taxes. 2 There was an applica walk on Pine street Beventh avenue., This committee., The regular meeting of the Timâ€" mins town council was held on Monday afternoon with Mayor Geo, 8.

On this early Sunday mornâ€" ing, however, they could scarcely be said to be sleeping. Instead, there | were first a little drinking by some of | the men and that apparently led to a little fighting. So far as the police could gather the facts of the case a dispute arose between some of the Finns usings the sleeping quarters upstairs. John Laino, they said, came upstairs with a chunk of firewood in his hand, all ready to defend himself. He was not quick enough on the defence, howâ€" ever, for Andrew Hikkila was waiting for him with a chunk of firebrick about ten inches by ten and three inches thick. . Laino was crowned with this and knocked down the stairs. The row had attracted attention outside and the police were soon on the scene.

Traffic for a time was stopped through the subway on account of the volume of water pouring through there. The amount of water pouring along Fourth avenue and down Third avenue was particularly noted. Seldom has there been such a volume of water on these streets. On streets like Sixth avenue ng the stc Ingâ€" equal Traffic for Roofs in town suffered particularly from the storm. In some cases the wind got under the roofing and tore strip after strip off the roofs. The hail pounded holes in a number of roofs. One man who had just finished the work of putting new roofing paper on his new house found after the storm that he had the work to do all over again. His furniture in the meantime was damaged by the water that came through the badly damaged roof. Aut» tops were also a special target for the hail stones and a large number of cars out in the storm were damaged. Gardens in town and district sufferâ€" ed severely from the storm. Any of the early workers who had their gardâ€" ens planted before the storm arrived found it was love‘s labour lost, as the work had to be done all over again, the wind, hail and water destroying whatâ€" ever labour had been given to garden work. Trees also were damaged in the district. Radio aerials were also torn down by the fury of the storm. Shankman‘s garage on Mountjoy street was picked up bodily by the storm and carried fully twenty feet and then fiattened on the ground. About half of the athletic grounds fence on Pine street towards Moneta was flattened by the storm, being thrown down on the cement sidewalk blocking traffic on the walk for an hour or so, though workmen were set to work to repair this damage as som as thn e ATA tA L Bowie building on Pine street was torn from its fastenings and thrown down to the sidewalk. It fell between the Bowie and Remus signs without injuring either. It struck the sidewalk with such force that the wooden frame of the window was smashed and split, Two panes of the plass were broken, a third was cracked across, while the fourth pane was left Intact., t s en : se in B m omm ns OR ENN io te instms 22. 2 Timmins and the Porcupine on PFriâ€" day afternoon last suffered what was probably the worst wind and hail storm in the history of the district The storm started about 2.30 pm. and lastâ€" ed probably twenty minutes. The furiâ€" ous hail storm continued without any letâ€"up for about ten minutes. The storm came from the northâ€"west and commenced with a fierce wind that carried before it about everything that was movable, including clouds of dust and small articles flung forward by the wind. The wind storm tempted everyâ€" one to seek for cover, but in a minute or two it was followed by a hail storm that was something new to the district in the size of the hail and the fury with which it pelted down. At the Hollinger samples of the hail were examined and measured. The smaller samples were threeâ€"eights of an inch in diameter, about the size of currants, and as large as the usual hail drops. The majority of the hail on Friday, however, was as large as the ordinary mothball Many specimens of the hail were 4n inch across, and the largest found was actuâ€" ally one and a quarter inches in diaâ€" meter. With hail of this size pelting down in the fiercest sort of way it is no wonder that great damage was done. The velocity of the wind is given as 85 miles per hour. Between hail of the sizes noted and a wind of the ferocity given, the damage resulting was necesâ€" sarily great. A small dog on Third avenue actually lost its life in the storm, the poor little animal being battered to death by the hail stones. It was unâ€" able to find any refuge from the fierce storm and was swept to the side of the roadway where hail, wind and water combined were responsible for the death of the little dog, its lifeless body being found after the storm had passed. Business houses in Timmins suffered much from the fury of the storm. One of the large plate glass windows facing Pine street in the Marshallâ€"Ecclestone store was blown in, and this allowed the wind a sweep that resulted in the blowing out of two of the front winâ€" dows facing on Third avenue. Glass from these windows was carried b¢ the _wind across the road to the stock exâ€" change. The goods on display in the windows, including valuable rugs, furâ€" niture and other articles, were damaged. by the wind, hail and water. Marâ€" shallâ€"Ecclestone‘s were probably the heaviest individual losers from the storm in town, but other firms in the district, and especially the mines, where so many windows were broken, were also serious losers by the storm. Anâ€" other town window blown in was that of Tremblay‘s harness shop. Other windows, awnings, signs were also damâ€" aged in town. Storm windows, espeâ€" cially the swinging kind were also a special mark for the storm. One storm window on the second floor of the Mark ) repair this damage orm abated.
