The present reduction consists of a straight decrease of $4.00 per horsepower per year for all power used in mining operations up to 5,000 H.P. This will make a substantial saving to the mines, amounting to $20,000 per year in the case of mines using 5,000 H.P. Following this policy, it is the intention of the Company to make still further reductions from time to time as conditions warrant. Following is the revised schedule of net rates applying to stanâ€" dard contracts, effective January 1st, 1938: $3.66 per horse power per month for each of the first 5,000 H.P. ; $2.7*7 per horse power per month for each of the next 3,000 H.P.; $1.67 per horse power per month for each of the next 3,000 H.P.; $1.25 per horse power per month for each of the next 9,000 H.P. Effective January 1st, 1938, the following rates come into force which will again cut the power costs of the mines by $275,000 per year. In 1930, ‘by inauguration of an optional residential rate, savings to domestic customers amounting to $50,000 per year were effected. In 1933, by the inauguration of an optional commercial rate, savings to commercial customers amounting to $47,000 per year were effected. In 1934, the business having again increased, a further reducâ€" tion to both domestic and commercial customers effected addiâ€" tional savings of $84,000 per year. In 1935, a reduction in the rates to mines using over 8,000 H.P. was made which effected savings to these mines of $60,000 per year. In 1936, another reduction was made to both domestic and comâ€" mercial customers, effecting further savings of $70,000 per year. In 1937, another reduction was made to mines using less than 8,000 H.P., which effected savings for these nmiines of $150,000 per vear. ‘ In accordance with the Company‘s policy of passing on to its cusâ€" tomers the benefits of increased business, the Company has consisâ€" tently made successive reductions in rates, amounting with this one to $735,000 per year during the past seven years. Canada Northern Power Corporation Limited announces that as a result of reductions in rates charged by its subsidiaries, savâ€" ings aggregrating some $275,000 should result for the mining companies operating in the subsidiaries‘ territories.

At that, the storm was not so severe here as it was in some neighboring places, like Schumacher for instance. The rain at Timmins came down in torrents and soon there were floods in progress. The flow of water from the higher ground all around was so great at the subway, that the storm sewer on Fourth Avenue could not take the water fast enough. The result was a regular river at the subway, there being several inches of water on the road for a time. Sunday, July 3lst, 1927, was the silâ€" ver wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. D. Mackie, 13 Wilson avenue, Timâ€" mins. Mr. and Mrs. Mackie were marâ€" ried in the Masonic Temple, West Calâ€" der, Seotland, about fifteen miles from the great city of Edinburgh.

However, the event itself was carried through very successfully, and there were some unusually attractive and inâ€" teresting events. There was a crowd of several hundred in attendance and all appeared to enjoy the various features of the day. The outboard motor canoe races attracted especial interest. These races were keenly contested and roused much enthusiasm, being close and inâ€" teresting. The handsome silver cups were donated by Marshallâ€"Ecclestone, Ltd., and the Geo. Taylor Hardware. With Mr. T. H. Torrance and his taff in charge, the Timmins Governâ€" ment liquor store was opened here ten years ago with the premises on Balsam street back of Blahey‘s store. There was a steady run customers the first day, about 350 being served, but there was no particular rush and no very noticeable lineâ€"up, as some had proâ€" phesied.

This evened the score, the preceding game having been taken by Lake Shoreâ€"2â€"1. and cut so badly that it was feared he would ‘be disfigured for life. However, the skill of the surgeons here remedied the injury and the man was all better, and so cleverly was the surgical work done that the injury was not at all noticeable. In the .
