The council made the annual inspection of the town to see what roadwork, new walks, etc., were required some time before the meeting. The chairman of the public works committee, Councillor Pritchard, had a list of the public works suggestcd for the yrear and each item was careâ€" fully considered. Any work that was not considered absolutely necessary was struck from the list in the interests of economy. At a meeting of the Cochrane Disâ€" trict CA.S. executive ten years ago, Mr. A. G. Carson was named local suâ€" perintendent to succeed Mr. R. Leâ€" Heup, who resigned to go south to enâ€" ter business there. The resignation of Mr. L«Heup was received with the greatest regret as he had proved an ideal man for the work and both as superintendent at Haileybury and here zave the most talented and unselfish service. The difficulty of filling his place was recognized as soon as his resignation was received, but in Mtr. Carson it was felt that another ideal man had been secured. Mr. Carson, who had taken much interest in C.A.S. work for a long while, was well known and highly esteemed throughout the district, At the regular meeting of the town ccuncil ten years ago, Mayor Longmotre was in the chair, and Councillors A.

Ten yvears ago an accident occurred at ithe corner of Third avenue and Cedar street when a motor cycle crashnâ€" ed into an automobile. The motorâ€" cyclist sustained a nasty cut across the forehead and a few bruises but was otherwise uninjured. He was taken to Dr. Moore‘s for medical attention ard was able to proceed later to his home. The motorcycle was rather badly damâ€" aged, while only a dent in the door of the car was sustained by the auto. The collision cccurred at the intersecâ€" tion. Mrs. Lindross, of South Porcuâ€" pine, was coming along Cedar street, and on reaching Third avenue stopped in proper way. Finding the way clear she started the car across Third. Mr. Percy Bennett, who stayed at Mrs. Cowan‘s on Tamarack street, and who was employed as draughtsman at the Hollinger, was coming along Third aveâ€" ru» on his motorcycle. He himself did not know just what happened, but eve witnesses said that just as he apâ€" proached the corner he glanced toâ€" wards the side of the street and waved his hand at an acquaintance. The inâ€" stant‘s change of attention prevented him seeing the car before him, avoiding it. The motoreycle crashed into the side of the car, Mr. Benne‘t being thrown off with much force. While Messrs. Ei Leblanc anc M. Boivin were riding in Mr. Leblanc‘s wagon down street ten years ago. a mator car came down behind them ana though the wagon was on the right side of the road and there was lots of room to pass, the motor smashed into the rear of the wagon and Messrs.
