Kiwanian Ed. Archiâ€" bald, of Toronto, brought Bijou here under the auspices of the Timmins Kiâ€" ! wanis Club. On Monday afternoon there was a matinee in St. Anthony‘s parish hall, the hall being crowded and the youngsters being fairly fascinated with the remarkable Bijou and her! wonderful intelligence and talents. In the evening there was a concert in St.! Anthony‘s hall, Bijou being the leading feature of the event. The attendance was not as large as the event deseryvâ€" ed; but again in the evening the youngâ€" ! sters were present in force to see Bijou.i | Viceâ€"President Arch Gillies was chairâ€" man and introduced the programme in his usual pleasant way. He made the point that kindness was the chief fea-! ture in securing training such as would | be evidenced by Bijou during the evenâ€" | ing. Solos by Mrs. P. H. Carson pleas-| ed all and added much to the interest of the evening. Instrumental selecâ€" tions by the Studio Trio (Bill Davis. piano; Fred Fosslin, violin; and Walter Pospishel, ‘cello) proved very popular. Mr. Ed Arch‘ibald showed two films of motion pictures entitled, "Bijou, the Wonder Dog in Ontario‘s Great North Land." These pictures evidenced the remarkable talent of Bijou, and they | also showed some of the wonderful| scenery in the Temagami area, as well as picturing boy camp life. Mr,. Archiâ€" bald also gave an interesting talk on the training of B.jou, supporting Mr. Gillics‘ suggestion that kindness and patience and friendship were the esâ€" sentials in training animals. He pointed out that all Bijou‘s tricks were | done to please him and not for fear or bribe, He mentoned incidents in Bijou‘s life where she had rescued boys from drowning, put out fires in the bush, found lost articles, saved people lost in the forest, and other wonders.

So far as the town was conâ€" !cemed the assessment of mine profits was based on the Mining Tax Act, Chapter 28 R.S.O., which was very clear and explicit. The assessment was made by the Government mine assesâ€" or. The Government would not likely permit any assessment lower than proâ€" per as it would mean loss to the Govâ€" ernment. The amount going to the town was deducted from that paid to ‘the Government. The mine would naturally prefer the town to receive as much as possible of the total tax that had to be paid. i The section referred to by Mr. Drew, and on which Councillor Bartleman apparently bases his cases is Section 9, Chapter 238, Assessment, Act, as fOlâ€" t lows:â€" [ "13â€"(1) Where a person liable fo payment of a tax under section 4 i respect of a mine is also during an year in which such tax is payable liabl for and paying to the municipality 0 municipalities in which such mine i situate, a tax upon income derive from such mines, he shall be entitle to deduct from the amount of the ta payable under the said Section 4, th amount of such municipal income ta to the extent of an amount equal t one and oneâ€"half per ceptum of th anual profits upon which the tax pay able under Section 4 is based until sum is reached which at the said rat of one and oneâ€"half per centum wi yield $35,000, and on the amount c such income in excess of a sum vieldin To Establish Demonstration = Farm in Mountjoy Township "Subsection 9â€"Notwithstanding anyâ€" thing in this section contained, the inâ€" come tax payable to any, municipality upon mine or mining work liable tco taxation under Section 4 of the Mining Tax Act shall not exceed one and on( half per centum of the annual profits of the mine or mining work upon which the tax payable under the saic section 4 is based, unless the amount of such annual profits, exceeds a sum which will yield $35,000.00 in respect of such income tax, when an additionâ€" al one per centem of such excess anâ€" nual profits shall be payable to the municipality. ; 1927, c, 63, s3."

The good Dominion â€"Experimental The suggestion that Timmins has not been receiving all the taxes collectâ€" able from mine profits and that $160,â€" 000.00 has been lost by the town in this way since 1926 would perhaps have passed without serious notice were it not for the fact that the suggestion was made by a councillor of the town at a regular meeting of council. Former Mayor Geo. S. Drew this week told The Advance that the town so far as he could figure it had receivâ€" ed all that the law allowed in this reâ€" spect. Legal and taxing authorities had confirmed this. The matter had been very thoroughly gone into by legal talent and also taken up with the Government. W. O. Langdon had been in Toronto some years ago and from one interpretation of one section of the Assessment Act had argued that the town was entitled to an additional one per cent. on all mine profits in exâ€" cess of the amount that would yield $35,000.00. The Government, however, had taken another view. Mr. Drew adâ€" mitted that the section was not very clearly worded and effort had naturâ€" ally been made to secure the higher amount for the town.

When mayor of the town he had conâ€" sulted the highest municipal legal taâ€" lent in Ontario, also experienced and expert taxing authorities. The Govâ€" ernment had been very definite in the matter and so far as he could see everything had been done to see that the town received its full share under the law. He belitved that this share had been received in past years. Some other municipalities, he noted, had taken mine assessment matters to the courts, some of the cases costing much money but nothing had been gained by this, Timmins followed the same procedure in assessing mine proâ€" fits as other municipalities in Ontario, Tisdale township, Kirkland Lake, etc., collected the mine profit tax (usually referred to as royalty tax) in the same way as Timmins. The procedure was based on the agreement made with the Government in 1927 when the percenâ€" tage allowed the town had been raised. The mine profit assessment was made each year, like other assessments, the only difference being that it was made by a Government official, the mine assessor. Under the Mining Tax Act the town received 14 per cent. of profit up to $2,333,333,33 (yielding $35,000.00) and on further profits above that amount only 1 per cent. that of the 1€ ht ich liability for â€" nicipal income line assessor ; manner 1t Mavor 3 SHections innual profits sul _ Act; and provi e of the amount mImnil ing t {¢y 18 Pages it T P §$11Y ild C AtG 8 he m jed further and proof )ayment of is furnished h time and require." emore said Il ta x
