TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Onlarioâ€" Queho* Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RES8IDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday b7: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Bubscription Rates: Canada~â€"â€"$2.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., Monday, June 29th, 1936 As noted in The Advance in previous issues, W.: G. Nixon, MLA. for Temiskaming, did a genuine! public service in recently bringing to the North a% party of some forty members of the Ontario Legisâ€" = lature. A few weeks ago a similar servite was con-i ferred by Walter Little, M.P. for Temiskaming, in bringing to the North a group of members of the‘; House of Commons. The North believes that if the: people of the other parts of Canada fully realized. the benefits derived by Canada in general through| the development of the North this part of thei country would receive a much better deal than hasi been given. All the North asks is that the North be knownâ€"and understood. When the members! of the Legislature walke in Timmins there was little attempt made at the piling up of promiscuous data: in regard to the North. Emphasis was placed on the value of the North to the rest of Ontario through the employment created at good wages and under desirable conditions in the main indusâ€" tries of the country, and by the new business given the South by the North. It was shown beyond question that it would be profitable, indeed, for the South to assist the development of the North. It was made as plain as possible that every dollar spent for the development of the North would reâ€" turn manyâ€"fold to the South. Then it was made equally clear that the great need of the North was in the way of passable roads. Judging from the comments made by members of the party of legisâ€" lators and the newspapermen accompanying them it seems to be evident that the North‘s progress depends upon good roads. It is also admitted that ;he. present roads in the North are far from credâ€" ftable to those responsible. In the ordinary proâ€" éress of the tour the legislators were driven over Obhe Vorrupine Advancee a couple of stretches of Ngrthern highway. It can not, be denied that these pieces of roadway were vexy bad and sadly in need of repair. But they aot the only bad stretches of roadway in the North, They are not even the worst. The roads in the| Noxth are generally in deplorable condition. It; \vomcl be remarkable if they were otherwise in view of the policy of neglect that has prevailed inl the past year or two. | The legislators would not be honest if they did not admit that the roads in the North are in bad condition. They would not be fair if they did not agree that they should be improved. The visit of the party sponsored by Mr. Nixon seems to have done that much at leastâ€"made known the actual condition of the highway and the necessity for improvement. That is one of the advantages of stich a trip: it brings out the facts of the case. Unâ€" fortunately, however, there are other facts about the North that it would seem that the visitors need to learn. One of the solutions for road problems in the North as suggested by some of the Legislators and emphasized by the newspapermen accomâ€" panying the party is that the North itself should look after its own roads. This is certainly an irriâ€" tating suggestion to be made so soon after the conâ€" trol of Northern road:s has been taken from a sepâ€" arate department for the North and placed under the provincial highways department. The Hamilâ€" ton Spectator points out that roads in the South stt l l PP Y l :A lt > > LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF NORTH Uniteq Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Yea! s l4 s or.i Hon. Earl Rowe drove his own horse in the harâ€" no, ness race at Beaton recently, winning the event zes | | and making a new record for a mile race. He will us-‘ be the driver in the race likely in Ontario next en | year. According to The Toronto Telegram Hon. Mr. ng| Rowe will ride the Protestant Horse and will win for‘ the classic event by a count of noses. were built by the municipalities, and the is that municipalities in the North should do likeâ€" \wise. One of the members of the legislature party visiting the North voiced a similar plan. Like the Hamilton Spestator, the visiting legislator was willing to give Northern municipalities a greater share of the gold tax to assist them in financing. | Even a casual knowledge of the facts of the case Iand conditions in the North would show how utâ€" terly impractical and impossible is the idea of municipalities in the North financing the required roads. There are only four municipalities in the 'North receiving any portion of the gold tax. Is it seriously suggested that these few municipalities ‘ should be expected to take up the burden of buildâ€" \ing and maintaining the roads in an area stretchâ€" | ing 450 miles from North Bay to Moosonee? If all | townships were organized as in Southern Ontario, | it might be possible to consider such a proposition. | But in the North there are only a few organized 1municipalit1es with the greater part of the terriâ€" ’Lory unorganized. At that, some of the organized ‘‘ municipalities, especially the townships, have the f% greatest difficulty in looking after the needs of ~| their own areas. When Hamilton and Toronto asâ€" t‘ i sume the whole burden of the cost of construction ‘\and maintenance of the highways connecting i/ those two cities, it will be time enough to suggest ) that Kirkland Lake and Timmins, for example, be B*required to take over similar responsibilities in Y | the matter of roads. There is no doubt but that the municipalities of| the North should receive a larger share of the taxation of the mines. It might be more to thej point to say that the provincial and Dominion‘ governments are seizing too great a share of the mine taxation. This is a matter that has been dealt with times without number by Northern boards of trade. But it is a question apart from that of roads in the North. There is no way in which the proâ€" vince can fairly avoid its responsibility in the matâ€" ter of providing roads for the North. That is the duty of the province. But it would prove a very profitable duty for the province if it were carried out in the right way. The development of the North depends in large measure on good roads. The proâ€" vince directly and indirectly will reap a regular harvest of money from expenditures on the roads of the North. But it should be remembered that "time is the essence of the contract‘" in this case. Every day‘s delay in repairing the roads of the North means serious loss to the province. As a matter of fact the loss to the province as a whole is greater than to the North. Poor roads are simply inconvenientâ€" ing the people of the North and retarding the posâ€" sible progress of the country. But for the South it means loss of business, loss of possible new emâ€" ployment, loss of new wealth, delay in the return of prosperity and economic stability. The South is losing money every day it neglects the roads of the North. Isn‘t it funny (or is it?) how each succeeding government has to take the Canadian National Railways out of politics by appointing more party men to run the railroad? The man who is responsible for beer parlours as they are in Ontario toâ€"day is "all wet." The Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railâ€" way has ordered a number of the most modern airâ€"conditioned passenger coaches for use on the Northern railway. It is a pity, indeed, that these cars were not ordered a year or more ago so that they might be in service now. If these new and healthy passenger cars were in service now, people in the North might revert to the old plan of shipâ€" ping their cars by rail to North Bay and travelling south themselves by railway, thus escaping the danger of bad roads and the menaCe to health through having to breathe the dustâ€"laden air of the highway. There is a suspicion in the minds of many that the silly proposal of turning the Central public school into a town hall was simply a dodge to sideâ€" track the idea of building a new town hall. The people voted for a new town hall, but there are some selfâ€"seeking politicians who believe that the expressed wish of the people may be scorned. There is also a possibility that the delay this yeal in submitting to the Municipal Board any plan for paving and other public works was designed with the purpose of shelving any public works of imâ€" portance. Kirkland Lake has two large and wellâ€"equipped athletic parks and three or four wellâ€"equipped children‘s playgrounds. The youngsters at Kirkâ€" land Lake can scarcely claim that they "have no place to go and nothing to do." If the young people of Kirkland Lake turn out badly, it will certainly not be the fault of the Kiwanis Club or the comâ€" munity. France is finding out toâ€"day, in strikes, riots, murders, disorder, what it means to any country to tolerate communism.
