The peat, at $9.00 a ton, gives 7,800 units of heas per pound, so the saving over a period of time would be considerable, Mr. Brewer pointed out, Should the town accept this offer, he will make it a point to follow up with a service to see that the fuel is being used properly and to instruct people in its best use. The usual price is 18 cents a bushel, he said, with 55 bushels to the ton.

At the north and south ends of some streets, where only one house was in the spring, five stand toâ€"day. As the population of Timmins grows monthly and more and more workers bring their families to live here, the housing problem becomes more acute. But it must be being attacked. Nearly $200,000 goes a long way when it comes to building frame houses. _ _ With all the building that has been begun here this year so far, there is still much to do. Nothing in the naâ€" ture of a building boom has taken place, so the high figures for permits should continue at about the same level for many years to come, if Timmins is to progress as it has in the past. Much in the Future There is much to which the building trades may look forward. A byâ€"law for a new town hall will be submitted in Decemser. Even toâ€"day, the schools are overcrowded and more accommodation is almost imperative. Frame business blocks will have to, in the near future, be replaced with brick structures, to conform with the fire laws. And most important of all, more and better homes will be needed as the years slip by. The old mining camp idea is gone. Never in the history of this continent has gold mining produced so substanâ€" tial and normal a town as Timmins, yet its height of substantiality has not been reached yet. periods to allow for construction of new buildings, or new faces on old huildings.

The first meeting of the Timmins Chapter 1.O.D.E. after the holiday seaâ€" son will be held on Monday evening next in the Moose hall, Fourth avenue. The meeting will commence at 8 o‘clock, and will prove particularly interesting and valuable. One of the special feaâ€" tures will be an address on the Ethioâ€" pian situation by Mrs. W. W. Tanner. The members are looking forward to an unusually pleasing and informative meceting, and all are sutre that Mrs. Tanner‘s address will be one of special value.

One dollar had been used to buy seed this year, but next spring about $15 worth of tulips will be planted, to make it even more of a beauty spot.

Town Buys Tulips Mr. Noble, a gardener at South Porâ€" cupine, wrote asking the council if the town required any plants for the park next year. He will be able to supply tulip bulbs, he said. "I think we should encourags anyâ€" thing in that line, especially when it comes from the Porcupine district," said Councillor H. E. Chateauvert. "I am in favour of starting in a small way now.‘" the fire agreed that the fuel burned very well and were enthusiastic about the prospects. PRICE THREE CENTS (Continued on Page Six)
