No answer from the rear seat 4e the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINES, ONTARIO After a busy but comparatively shcort session ccuncil adjourned soon after 5 p.m. Ccuncillor â€" Richardson thought it would ‘be gcod business for the town to borrow $3,000.00 for the building of certainâ€" badlyâ€"needed cement walks. Mayor Drew suggested that a list of the more urgent cases where cement walks are needed should be prepared, and this is to be done, and considered by the next council meeting. Mayor Drew thcught it would be a gcod thing if wozd walks could be eliminated as much as possible, and council agreed with this. Some of the wood walks are dangerous at times and they are exâ€" pensive to keep in go>d condition. ...A new electrical workers‘ byâ€"law was given its required readings and duly passed. Mayor Drew said the ‘byâ€"law was practically the same as the one recently passed and now rescinded, the chief difference being that under the rew byâ€"law there was no board of exâ€" aminers, this being considered unnecesâ€" sary as all wiring and other electric work had t> be examined and passed by the Hydro inspector. Writeâ€"offs were authorized in some cases of income and business tax, for due reason, accounts were passed for payment, and cther routine business carried through. j A gentleman completing some work at his property was given permission to econnect with the sewer. The contract for additions and imâ€" provements to the disposal plant was awarded to Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis, the contract price being $21,857.00. The work is to be rushed to completion. The case of a sixâ€"foot fence on a preperty on Main avenue that was obâ€" jectisnable to neighbours was before the council. As the fence was partly on town property it had been ordered removed or reduced to decent height. Town Engineer MacLkean was asked to see that the fence was lowered or reâ€" moved altogether from the town proâ€" perty. The grant of $500.00 to the Volunteer Fire Dept. for the second quarter was passed for payment. ‘ Changes in the position of certain lights were approved. Mr. Fhilips of the Union Ccal Co. appeared before council in regard to firms conducting ice business and not paying business or transient traders‘ license. It did not seem fair to the company that had been taxed for years whether ice seasons were good or ‘bad. The assessor exvlained one case by sayâ€" ing that when the assessment was made the man‘s ice hsuse was out of town and so no tax could be applied, but this case would come under the assessment next year. Mr. Philips thought it unâ€" fair that there should be no taxes paid this year in one business when ancther in the same line had to pay. ‘Councilior Richardson, of the board of works committee, said that the comâ€" mittee had yet decided on the matâ€" ter of arrangements for Gillies Lake this summer, but would do so in a few days. Grace Chapel asked permission to hold gospel services at the corner of Third avenue and Cedar street as in previcus years. The question arose as to whether or not these religious meetâ€" ings did not sometimes block traffic, but council did not think there was any serious trouble from this. It was pointâ€" ed out that the Salvation Army had the privilege of holding religious services on the street. "A little more religion won‘t hurt any Of us," commented Mayor Drew, and the necessary perâ€" mission was given Grace Chapel for the hclding of these meetings on the street corner. s A widow with five children appearetd before council to say that she could not pay her taxes. She received $35.00 per month from the Mothers‘ Allowance, but with one sick daughter about 18 years of age and the other children tso young to be of much help in earning their living she was having her own difficulties. Mayor Drew replied that the case would be considered with others at a special meeting to deal with tex arrears. Work on Additions to Disposal Plant For further particulars, apply to any T. N. O.

It is believed the brother‘s name is At the hospital on Tuesday afternoon the man was reported to be still in an unconscious condition, and unable to give his name. In answer to an enquiry over the phone Mr. Lindsay stated that the shack, which he visited quite by chance and curiosity, was practically bare and all the food he saw there was two or three old stale loaves of bread. In his opinion the man had been ill for some days before he was discovered and seemed to be suffering from somée fever. When found the man was in an alâ€" most unconscious condition; and efforts to get him to talk brought mutterings. As soon as possible Mr. Lindsay nctified Dr. J. L.
