Obe Yorrupine 018 ; 1933â€"=$243,859. 1923 was a big year in the construcâ€" The otal value of building done in Timmms for the year 1934 will be apâ€" proximately $302,235, according to figures réleased by the town engineer, Since 1930 the rate of building here has been steadily increasing. In that year It is still more to be deplored that the original utterances should have been distorted and misrepresented until they bore little resemblance to the actual statments made, Anothér cause for regret is the fact that the Minister of Public Welfare should have acted on press reports and that Many Extensions and Additions to Buildings December is a poor month for the business of issuing permits for alteraâ€" tions or new buildings so that these figures, complete to the end of Novemâ€" ber may be taken as those for 1934, the engineer explains. A peculiarity of the tabulated report is that it shows alterations and addiâ€" tions ih the business section as $50,000 greater than the value of new work done (new buildings $31.250; alterations and additions, $80.165). This is the first time in the history of Timmins as far as the records reveal that such a thing has happeaned. It tends to show that the buildings of Timmins are in a greater proportion of the permanent type, now than ever before. In the residential section new builldings total $160,865 and additions and alterations When voters look upcn council service from the business standpoint and seek men for office on their personal qualiâ€" fications and business ability then some progress will be made to betterment. (In the meantime it is well to rememâ€" ber that there are few short cuts in this matter. There is nothing that can take the place of fairness, ccocmmon sens? andq good judgment. A town will have as good or as bad council as it deserves by reason of thought and intelligent interest given in the choice of its administrators. Further it is unfair and useless to blame others. Each citizen must take his own share of the censure that may be meted out for failure to secure the best in government in this demoâ€" cratic country. There is only one way to good municipal government and that is through each citizen be:ing deterâ€" mined that the town shall have the right kind of adminâ€" istrators. What may for convenience be termed the Soroleil case certainly a matter for many regrets. It is to be regretted that an address in private to a group of social workers should be made the subject of sensational articles in the press. It is well to remember that there are no short cuts to good municipal government. The only way to secure the best municipal administration :s for the‘ratepayers to take at all times a keen and intelligent interest in municipal afâ€" fairs. Men must be chosen for their integrity and ability and not for other reasons. The voter must look upon muniâ€" cipal government as his own particular business in which he has made a large investment and which is calling upon him yearly for more payments for stock. The average voter is inclined to be ready to tell the average member of the council board after a year or two years‘ service:â€""I don‘t think you know how to conduct council business." When the average voter is less critical of the councillor who has shown his worth, and more inclined to question the capabiliâ€" ties of the aspirant for municipal honours, there will be a step further made in achieving better municipal councils. In the past there has been too little attent.on paid to the good work of men who have served in council, and tco much notice given to the critic and the man who is willing to proâ€" mise anything and everything and who talks wildly and at kandom. Total V alue of Building Done in Timmins in 1934 Estimatâ€" ed at $302,235 on Building Permits. Additions and Improvements Total More than New Buildings. Inâ€" crease Over Last Year. . Some Comparative Figures. TIMMINS, ONT. Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontari Quebec Newlpnper Anocluhu Class "A" Weekly Group Once a year people in general appear to take an active inâ€" terest in municipal affairs. It may seem like an Irish manâ€" ner of phrasing it, but if people would take a more active interest in the affairs of the town all through, the year they would find less need for once a year, but it is likely that their interest once a year would be more active than it is. + The yearly spasm of interest in Timmins has brought forâ€" ward a number of ideas for expected betterment in the conâ€" duct of municipal affairs One citizen, look.ng back on events suggests that a town manager would solve some Of the problems. A town manager would take the employment or discharge of municipal officers out of the hands of councils elected yearly, he suggests. But would it? With a town manager, there would still be a town council, and while the ccuncil would not be in position to discharge the few muniâ€" cipal employees they might desire to sacrifice, the council would be able to dismiss the town manager and employ A new one who would deal with all town employees as deâ€" sired. The town council could thus replace all town emâ€" ployees angq blame it all on the town manager. That plan has actually been tried in towns and cities of the United States where the town manager plan has been in force. The town manager plan has not yet been able to bring perâ€" fection to civic government. Anocther suggestion is that town councils should be electâ€" ed for two or four or more years. It is argued that the longer term for council would do away with the chance 01 the loss of a good council after only a year‘s service. â€"In reply, :t may be noted that a poor council, once elected, would be fastened upon a town for a longer term, and so the virtue of the longer term for municipal service is more than offset by its pcssible evils. Timmins, Ont., Monday, Dec. 3rd, 1934 hough this is by no means a record Timmins building activity it shows A MATTER FOR MANY REGRE z) Published Every Monday and Thursday by: .. GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher ONLY THE ONE WAY Per Year . Uniteq Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year 13,230; 1932â€"$231,â€" tion industry here when $514,475 worth of permits were issued from the town office. In 1924 the total fell to $495,630 but there was not as much public monâ€" ey spcent on schools. In 1925 even; with the building of Mattagami school, half of which was credited, that year and half the next, the Bank of Comâ€" merce, and extensive alterations to the Goldfields hcotel, there was only $290,â€" 560 spent. 1926 saw the total drop to $236,335. In 1927 with the building of St. Charles school, the vocational school and the Moneta addition, and the St. Mary‘s hospital there was $487,000 spent on construction. New School Inspector for Temiskaming South The Haileyburian last week says:â€" ‘"The local public schcol board has been advised this week that, at the beginâ€" ning of the new year, J. R. Pickering, B.A. of North Bay, will take over the duties of inspector for this part of the district. The information came in a letter from D. G. Smith, who has carâ€" ried out the duties for this secticn since the transfer last summer of R. A. A. McConnell to Perth, Ont. Mr. Smith will make one more visit, on December 15th he intimated. He is being transâ€" ferred to another inspectorate. but did not say in his letter where h# is to be Mayor Nolan, of Ottawa, suggests that a deposit should be required from each candidate for municipal office. It would appear to be cne way to curb undes.rable candidAtes. Some municipal candidates enter the contest for improper purposes, and the requirement of a deposit might reduce the number of undesirable candidates. The idea, at least, is worthy of consideration. Some people severely condemn the idea of refusing the municipal vote to the man who has not paid his taxes. But after all is it fair that the man who is not helping to pay the piper should be in the position of calling the tune. The man who has a vote has some influence on the policy of the towni. Thus he is in the position of directing how the money of the taxpayer shall be spent. For ‘instance, there may be a proposal for some particular expenditure, with two opposâ€" ing views on the matter. Indirectly, the man who votes but does not pay taxes is in this position:â€"if he votes in favour of the expenditure he is telling the taxpayer how to spend h‘s money. If he votes against the expenditure, he is practically refusing to allow the taxpayer to spend his own money. It certainly is hard luck when a man is unâ€" able to pay his taxes, but it is equally hard luck when men who do not pay taxes control the taxes that are paid. Why not start the Christmas spirit now? The friendly, genial, happy Christmas spirit, with its thought for others, would start people shopping early so as to save the merâ€" chants and their staffs from the nerveâ€"wrecking Christmas rush. A little Christmas spirit now would help to make Christmas itself so much more like Christmas when it does arr.ve. So many products and businesses are being taxed out O0f existence that governments will scoon have to consider putâ€" ting a tax on taxes. The matter for the greatest regret, however, is the fact that the att.:tude of the authorities in this matter would seem to have the tendency to curb all those in public emâ€" ploy from telling the truth at it appears to them on any ccecasion. The attitude of the authoritiee would seem to discourage any Government official from venturing to exâ€" press himself no matter what he may know or believe. Such a condition is truly deplorable. It w.ll mean that evils may flourish and civil servants will fear to say a word. The case of Dr. Soroleil will stand for many a day as an example of the danger that threatens the conscientious public serâ€" vant in seeking for improvement of condit.ons and the betâ€" terment of citizenship. It is not enough to say that the question of conditions must rest with the heads of the Government. It is very evident that the morals of the peoâ€" ple and the safety of the rising generat.on are not secure in the hands of the Government. Hon. Mr. Hepburn has statâ€" ed that the beer parlours are proving beneficial and satisâ€" factory. Any man who coulg suggest anything like that is certainly not equipped to avert moral evils in th‘s country. The Soroleil case, however, practically serves notice on All c.vil servants that they must not speak whatever they may knowâ€"that it is their place simply to applaud what their suppcsed superiors may suggest. In all the many regrets that must arise at the Soroleil incident, none are more deâ€" plorable than this:â€"that men in high place in public serâ€" vice,â€"men fired w.th the desire and the ability to serve their day and generation,â€"shoulg be curbed and cribbed to serve only political purposes and partisan expediency. the Cabinet should support the Minister of Public Welfare in this action. ; Then there should be special regret that announcement in the matter by the Premier should be couched in such objecâ€" tionable terms as to create natural resentment. Still more to be regretted is the bitter rejoinder of Dr. Little to the Premier‘s crude announcement 4 the suspenâ€" sion of Dr. Soroleil. Purther regrets are necessary for the reaction of the Preâ€" mier to the natural criticisms of the Government for its illâ€" considered and illâ€"adviseq attitude. Even in the announcement of the reâ€"instatement 0f Dr. Soroleil as Deputy Minister of Public Welfare there is reason for regret. Hon. Dav.d Croll missed his opportunity to prove himself big enough and broad enough for his place. Instead of contenting himself with acknowledging that the Government hag made a mistake through haste and lack of investigation and consideration, Hon. Mr. apparently seeks to leave the impress.on that in some way or another Dr. Soroleil was to blamg. As a matter of fact Dr. Soroleil was fully within the path of his duty in addressing a group of social workers. He did not overstep the actual facts in stressing the evils that he knew beset the paths of children in the industr.al schocis. Dr. Soroleil diq not accuse the school children of the province of anything. It is very deeply to be regretted that even isolated cases in many towns and many schools should give such grounds that his remarks might appear to have application to a much wider sphere than intended. fGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Only eighteen more days before Christmas!
