In opening his address Mr. Clark reâ€" ferred to his impressions of the country on this his first visit here. He expressâ€" ed his amazement and pleasure at findâ€" ing in this North a city so complete and modern as ‘Timmins. He urged the people to plant trees : for shade and beauty. The need for trees was very evident. Without trees the town was incomplete. He also urged the cultiâ€" vation of and sardgns tor«pleas- mww nsslsc In his adflhss Mr. cmrk shmd. the different kinds of gardens. He outlined the memaos Of preparing gardens, â€"and touched on the different types of flowâ€" ers thaik might be grown successfully in this ecomméry..

Mrs. Clark‘s first number was, ‘"The Garden of My Heart," and so greatly did the audience appreciate this selecâ€" tion and its effective presentation that there was very insistent demand for another number by this gifted singer. Mrs. Clark‘s second solo was equally one of the mest interesting and inforâ€" mative addsesses, when John Clark, fict\m for the Horticuitural branch of the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, spoke on the subject of gardens, their estabâ€" !hhmcnt and care T. A. Skelly, president of Timmins Horticultural Scciety, introduced the speaker for the evening. ‘The event was in the Hollinger Recreation hall. Mr. Clark was accompanied on his trip to the North by Mrs. Clark, the tour of Northern towns being made by motor. Both Mr. and Mrs. Clark were greatly impressed by the North and look for a wonderful future for this country. Mr. Clark has great faith in the horâ€" ticultural and agricultural possibilities of the Nonth, and sees no reason why everybody here should not have a garâ€" den.

In practically every case the estimated cest out on the building permit byâ€" the applicant is less than half the actual amount that will be spent before the work is oompleted This has been the case with building permits ever since their use was adopted here. It seems useless to tell the public that the figure given shouldâ€"be as near correct as posâ€" sbleandthatnouseismadeofthe information so given. The people seem to think that if they place the estimatâ€" ed cost of building or alterations at the proper figure it will mean an increase of their assessment. This is not the fact, but there seems little use in callâ€" ing attention to the question as year Mmmtheh,zmemot -.aiderame bufldlng actfimy so the 'building pe':mits issued this year should be of interest. From Feb. ist to June 14th this year, there were no less than 170 building. permits issued. Of this number ten were in the business secâ€" tion a.nd the other 160 in the residential area. This proves what most ‘people have believedâ€"that few new business buildings are ‘being. erected, but â€"that the activity in building now in progress is confined to residences. Ixf the business section only four of the permits are for new buildings, the other six being for alterations and adâ€" ditions. after year the estimated costs on the building permits prove to be only about half the actuai flgures With all this in mind, the estimatec cost of the buildings covered by the permits this year may be studied. The total estimated cast is given as $99,687 of this amount, only $6,395.00 is credlt.- ed to the business section. ~This is divided., $2,795.00 for new buildings, and $3,600.00 for alterations and additions. In the residential sections the estiâ€" mated cost of the 74 new buildings is given as $75,480.00. The estimated cost for the alterations and additions to 63 buildings in the residential section is ,tiven at_ $15,609.00.
