Town to Take Over the Collection of Garbage Children Express Thanks for (zenerous Gift to Them "AS will be noted by the advertisement elsewhere in this issue the Town of Timmins is taking over the collection of garbage in town, and is asking the coâ€"operation of the citizens to make the new plan a success. In past years garbage collection has been let under contract and there has been much disâ€" satisfaction. Recently there has been special complaint in regard to the colâ€" lection of ganbage. This year‘s council has given special thought and stiudy in an endeavour to correct the situation and it has been decided to inaugurate a system whereby the Town will take over the collection of garbage on and after September 1lst. Citizens are urged to comply with the town byâ€"law which specifiese that kitchen garbage only, properly wrapâ€" ped in paper, preferably bound with string, and deposited in metal containâ€" ers provided with suitable covers, will be removed. Previous System of Collection by Contract Has Not Provâ€" ed Satisfactory Special Covered Trucks Bought by Town. Coâ€"operation of Citizens Asked in New Service. Council explains that in order that the citizens may secure a better and mor>» economical service, special covâ€" ered trucks have been secured and the town will be divided into six areas, the garbage in each area being colâ€" lected one day a wesk. . Council exâ€" pects that there may be some little confsuion at first but asks the citizens to ‘be patient and also to assist by coâ€" operation to make the new method of collection of garbags a complete sucâ€" cess. TIhe council believes that the new methcd of garbage collection will not only prove more satisfactory and sucâ€" cessful, but more economical as well, but this largely depends on ‘whether the town receives the same coâ€"operaâ€" tion from the citizens as they have been given in the past. ngraviny ) Published at Timmins, Ont.., Canada Every MONDAY and THURSDAY Over 200 In Attendance At Big Scout Jamboree Arrest 12 For Sunday Gambling A "stag‘"‘ being held at 51 Kirby avenue came to an @brupt halt early on Sunday morning when Timmins police headed by Sgt.

Good Showing of Flowers, Vegetables and Household Science. ncteworthy It is worth the while of any good citizen to pay a visit to the Birch Street public school in Timmins these days. The handsome building is now improved by the addition of a spacious lawn of good appearance and wellâ€"kept, while flowers and shrubs adorn three sides of the building. The general efâ€" fect is to make a beauty spot in the town, â€" approaching in interest the charm of St. Mary‘s Hospital grounds in the more central part of the town. In view of the fact that the lawn and flowers at the Birch Street school ar> all from the work of this year the reâ€" sult is the more noteworthy, Mr. J. Thomas, the caretaker of the Birch Streat school certainly deserves credit for the present appearance of the school grounds, but when attempt is made to give him this credit he passes it along to the board and the pupils of the school whose coâ€"operation and help made it all possible, he says. Students at the school were generous in their help, while the chairman of the board, Mr. A. T. Skelly has been very kind in his interest and support of the work of beautification. ‘ Appearance of Handsome Public School Added to by Pleasing Expanse of Lawn and Notable Array of Flowâ€" ers and Shrubs.

Richardson, of the Ontario Forestry Department, was followed with a great deal of interest. The occasion also afâ€" forded the general public an opportunâ€" ity to visit the camp and hear a singâ€" song around the camp fire. Iroquois Falls, Aug. 26.â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"Following the inquest held into the death of Sedor Zabudsky, section hand on the T. N. O. Railâ€" way, aged 54, who died from an inâ€" jury to the back of his head, there will be further investigation by the police as foul play is suspected. Dr. Clouth= iér, of Ansonville, in his evidence to the coroner‘s jury on Friday night made it clear that the story told to tnse effect that the injury was due to Zabuldsky falling downstairs and strikâ€" ing his head on a spitoon could not be true. The postmortem showed that the skull was thicker than the average, but was so badly crushed and broken that it could not have resulted from a fall as described. The jury after sitting for three hours hearing evidence and after deliberating for an hour and a half, returned a verdict to the effect that they did not feel that the death could have been caused by a fall downâ€" stairs, but that the evidence was inâ€" sufficient to show the cause of the head injuries. A fine camp site for the occasion was located at the north end of Do« minion avenue, incoming troops being billetted there during the jamboree, Suspect Foul Play at Falls Timmins Fire Department have been enjoying a vacation of late, not having had a call for an alarm since a week ago last Saturday. It may be a lull that preceeds a storm but the firefightâ€" ers are hoping that the rush may be gradual. No Fires Reported Here For More Than Week Past gates are unlocked all day, however, for the pleasure of the public, and though scores enjoy a close view of the flowers each day, there has been no vandalism or interference with the flowers or shrubs. Scattered around the lawn are a number of garden cutâ€"outs, and it is interesting to note that these amusing figures of men and animals were made in the school workshop by Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas also made swings and other playground equipment in that workâ€" shop, where he has also a clever equipâ€" ment for sharpening the children‘s skates, so it is not so difficult to unâ€" derstand how he has such steady coâ€" operation from the pupils. Along the front and side of the school are wide beds of flowers and shrubs, Jiuust at present they are in full bloom and prosent an unusually pleasing picâ€" ture. There were no less than 2500 plants put in this year, and practically all of them have been succcssfully brought to flower. There are Bnapâ€" drazgons, SBeed Dahlias, Balsams (white, pink and red), Hollyhocks, Petunias (single and double), Phlox (several varieties), Delphinums, Lup‘ns, and many other flowers and shrubs. For the year‘s work, there is a remarkably fine showing, and further improveâ€" ments are planned for another year to contirue the Birch Street gchool grounds as a plaece of teauty and w traction. ; ‘urther Enquiry to be Made Into Death of Sedor Zaâ€" budsky.
