(Continued From Page One) there being another hospital in town but Mr. Brady pointed out that a hosâ€" pital operated like the Toronto Generâ€" al or other municipal institutions would cost the corporation a great deal more money than St. Mary‘s does or will even with the grant addeod. The laws of the nursing order are that no fiâ€" nancial statements can be given to any other than the provincial or federal governments, he said, but that the council would be given a summary if they desired it. The Sisters themseives could not organize as men can, he said, and get out to build up an organizaâ€" tion to battle for them. Interviewing 25 prominent business Interviewing 25 prominent business men, all heavy taxpayers, Mr. Brady said he did not find one who was not in favour of allowing the hospital a grant for the necessary new building. "Tell them one thing or anoth°r," he asked the council. ‘"Tell them they‘ll get a grant or they won‘t." He asked that a final decision be made at the meeting. A. M. Stuart questioned the legality | of handing over money to St. Mary‘s. "I don‘t think there‘s anybody in town who holds more feeling for the hospital than I," he said, "but I claim they | have no legality to make a grant." l He made reference to other municipal business and insinuated that all was' not as it should be in the handling of | the town‘s business. "In the distribut-’ Ing of relief and other things, you‘ve got to give an account in the near future." *‘‘There‘s no use calling it a public institutionâ€"it‘s not," he said of the hospital. l 6 Town Makes First Grant to Hospital "I resent very much the innuendo that the council is implicated in soâ€"called misappropriation," Councillor Laporte retorted. ‘"Yes, but you weren‘t a member of last year‘s council," interjecteg Mayor Bartlieman. Bpeaking of "graft" again, Mr. Stuart said: *"I‘ll come back at him and ask what graft is going on . . . I‘m not sure whether it‘s going on now or not." Uncollected Accounts Returning to the financial statement part of the discussion, Mayor Bartleâ€" man asked Mr. Brady if he could give any deéetails. "They‘re in the hands of one of the proper people now," he replied. PAGE EIGHT CHURCH DESTROYED BY FIRE Security 21 Pine St. N. ULLIVAN NEWTON UR PROPERTY FULLY COVERED? See us for sound Fire Insurance Protection. "I think we can rely on the informaâ€" tion I have," Mr. Bartleman concluded. J,. E. H. Chateauvert stated that any of the councillors could go over to the hospital at any time and the Sisâ€" ters would show them the state of the finances, although they would not want anything published about it. "Pardon me," said the mayor, "but would they be agreable to having our auditor go over there and report to us confidentialy?" "You admit that if the ac collected, thsy would show the mayor persisted. "Nothing of the kind." ~ Agrecable to Audit "I‘m sure they would," replied Mr. Chateauvert. ‘"When the town goes to the government and asks to borrow money, they get turned down, because of debts. The same thing applies to the hospital. They still owe $75,000 on the building and can pay the interest only. The cost of the new building would be $100,000 or $125,000 equipped. That will be spent in Timmins." The cost per taxpayer of a oneâ€"mill addition to the rate would be little, Mr. Chateauvert said, and figured at $1.00 for every $1000 of assessment. Operating expenses of the hospital he placed at $100,000 a year, with $25,000 paid in salaries. Uncollectable debts have totalled $44,â€" 000 since the hospital went into operaâ€" tion, he said. people out of their homes, those ccunts cannot be collected," Mr. T said. The provincial grant of $10,000 to the hospital, which has been paid for the past ten years under the governmnt‘s agreement, has now been stopped, Mr. Brady said, since the government‘s conâ€" tract is at an end. Dr. Paulkrer, the minister of health, said that he was amazed that the town of Timmins had not made a grant to St. Mary‘s hosâ€" pital, Mr. Brady said. R. Richardson, mayor last year, adâ€" dressed the council, stressing the overâ€" ecrowding, and stating that he had beâ€" gun the move last year by asking that prcvision be made in this year‘s estiâ€" mates for a grant to the hospital. "Had the Sisters not started the hospital, we would certainly have had to have a public hospital here and that would have cost us plenty," he said. "I think the ccouncil would be commended for making the grant at this time." Dr. Day Clears Situation ‘ Councillor Dr. Day settled more than cne question about the hospital. The first thing to be considersd, he said, Service Phone 104 the accounts were profit e actâ€" Bradyv said was whether or not it is legal for the town to make the grant. A twoâ€"page letter from Dean Kester was presented in which the provision was cited that any municipality could make a grant to any public hospital. Copies of teleâ€" grams were presented in which Mr. Kester asked the department of health on a ruling as to whether or not St. Ma its qoors. right now he said. "The training scho closed if better acco given," he continued those nursesâ€"inâ€"traini Beds in the hallways and in the sun porches, places that the government says cannot be useq for hospitalization. have made it possible to get 112 beds into the present place. Even with 112 beds, there is a waiting list. Should the hospital be forced back to 70 beds. a bad condition would immediately "Just as Well Let Them Die" "We might just as well let the patient die in peace as attempt a major operaâ€" tion in the home," the doctor said. Timâ€" mins is too far removed from other centres to make possible a transference of natients such as other towns might have. Miners in the North receive 40 per cent. higher wages than in any other industry on the North American ‘conâ€" tinent, the councillor stated. "The town has been here 25 years and has never paid for an institution to take care of its sick. What other town is there that dces not help to maintain a hospital?" Of the 22,000 hospital days provided in 1935, the Sisters had besn unable to collect for 2635 of them, the doctor said. "I think that the grant should be made, not for the institution‘s sake, but for the people‘s sake. I thihk it should have besn looked into years ago." "I regret that there has been any besn 10O0Ked into ycars "I regret that there has been any suggesticn that the operation of the hospital has been criticized," the mayor said, "and if the hospital netds money. I think that the citizens of the town of Timmins are willing to donate. But the mine cperators should. share with us in any contributions. Mr. Chateauâ€" vert suggests that an auditor could go to the hospital. If they would assist s on thsir part in showing us their lossâ€"if they have a lossâ€"we could do something. Councillor Laporte pointea out that the grant was for a new building and nct for general hospital maintenance. "It‘s our duty to help the hospital," said Councillor Caron, recounting a personal €xperience in which he said there was not room here for a patient and she had to be sent to Montreal.

Appointed by the council to make recommendations in regard to the place, A. Wright, A. Gridley, D. La«â€" prairie and A. DesRoches, the comâ€" mittee asked that a clear title to the land be obtained; that a permanent cemetery board be appointed each year by the council; and that a grant be made toward cleaning up the grounds and erecting a proper fence. The money has been provided for in the estimates, the council said. Another fireman will be added to the force, according to a motion passed. The quarterly grant of $500 to the volunteers is to be made, and tenders will be called for new uniforms for the whole fire department force. Borrow $£400,000 The town will borrow $400,000 to meet current expenditures, until the 1936 taxes begin to come in. The interest rate on the loan will be five and a quatâ€" ter per cent. $77,000 has already been borrowed. The mayor and the clerk will pay a visit to Toronto some time in the near future to interview the municipal board about the possibility of borrowing money to build the new town hall and to finance street building and installaâ€" tion of water works. More stop signs may be erected in the town. Councillor Caron invited the members of the council to let him have their opinions on the matter and he would take it up with the police departâ€" ment. Mr. Stuart brought before the counâ€" cil the case of a man whom he claimed had been deafened by the roar of a machine at the mine. The Workmen‘s Compensation Board had refused aid, and Mr. Stuart asked the town to help fight the case and provide relief for the deaf man. "The relief committee is well aware of the case. There are sertain cireumstances enter into it that rather influence the committee not to zive relief," he mayor told him. His worship did agree, however, that there were many injustices of the compensaâ€" tion board, particularly where the town was concerned in paying sanitorium for those who were direct conâ€" tacts of silicotics who had afterwards developed tuberculosis. It costs the town $65 a day to provide for these, the mayor said. He advised those who had csomplaints against the compensation soard to get in touch with Mr. Stuart and the counzil would hold a special mseting to consider the whole question. A local fruit merchant who makes ;rips to Toronto with a truck to bring back produce for sale here, objected to paying a $100 transient traders‘ license. The mayor offered to straighten the miatter out for him. Objects to Stable Objection to a stable on Spruce street south was voiced by a property owner who claimed that the place was dirty, smelly, and that he would not be a‘ble to rent his property any longer if the place were allowed to remain. The board of health will be asked to order its removal. "It‘s getting now so Petition for Sidewalk A petition was received from C. P. Ramsay in which a concrete sidewalk was requested for Patricia boulevard. Eighteen names appeared at the botâ€" tom. The town will probably build it this year. I think stables should be removed from the town unless they‘re on a sewer," Mr. Dunn said. O. GouleL asked again for the posiâ€" tion of life saver. This was left over for a time. A letter asking that the liconse fee for transient traders be increased from $100 to $250 was referred to the finance committee. The town may liconse taxi drivers, the town‘s lawyer replied in response to a query from Councillor Brungette. Some move such as this is under conâ€" sideration by the police depatment. Despatches from Canton, China, say that 25,000 roaring lions, each about 50 feet in length, will soon go tearing through the streets of the 25,000 towns and villages of Kwangsi province if orders of General Pai Chungâ€"Hsi are observed. Accounts totalling $6,709.04 were apâ€" proved, as was the payroll. Lights will be placed at the intersecâ€" tions of Cameron and Mountjoy, and Columbus and Rea. Another w.ll placed at the end of Balsam street. According to a motion introduced by Councillor Laporte, seconded by Counâ€" cillor Caron, no capital assets will be purchased without the consent of the council, after having received recomâ€" mendation from the committee conâ€" cerned. To Rouse China by 25,000 Lions Roaring in the Land Object of the qemonstration is to "arouse the sleeping lion of China," acâ€" cording to an official announcement. No Chinese official names Japan in any enterprise of this kind,. The phrases closest to identification are "a certain country" or "our national enemy." Osâ€" tensibly, Kwangsi "roaring lions" will be designed to arouse public interest in a revival of ancient Chinese forms of boxing and gymnastic dancing. The lions will be made of leather and fur and each propelled by 350 hidden men equipped with horns and bass drums, but orders are the lions must be "good imitationsâ€"and terrifying." Kwangsi is allied with the semiâ€"indeâ€" pendent government of Canton and the Kwangsi leaders are bitterly critical of Nanking‘s policy toward Japan. They advocate open resistance and a state of formal warfare and denounce giving away of the country bit by bit without resistance. Mail and Empire:â€"Premier Hepburn ys that the Hon.
