In most cases the head of the household is | working in one of the district mines. There‘s to be mins this year cided at a spec day afternoon. From one o‘clock until 5.30 yesterday afternoon, the councillors pored over the list of properties on which the taxes have not been paid for the past three vears or more. Planning Big Tax Sale to Clear up Arrears Here About two hundred and fifty of them will go under the hammer within the next few months unless the owners make arrangements with the town withâ€" in the next week to pay at least a part of the amounts due. That one week of grace is all the council feels able to give. Find No Real Excuse Finding that there is no excuse in a town as prosperous as Timmins for such an amount of unpaid taxes, the council intends to remedy that condiâ€" tion immediately, so that by the end of this year, the properties on which taxes have not been paid for three years or more will be reduced to almost nothâ€" LIM2. Last year‘s council was forced to take a good deal of criticism from the Onâ€" tario Railway and Municipal Board zeâ€" cause of the condition of the property list on which taxes were not paid. This led in part, it is believed, to the board‘s refusal to allow the town to proceed with public works they had agreed to do. i1 the taA! ned, it will mins has e ikely 250 Properties will be Placed Under the Hammer.
