I 12â€"8â€"38 1€ ol Timmins Fifth in the Dominion in H.L.P. Loans giving out the figures Timimnins is classed as in the gradse of "cities of 10,000 to 20,.000 population. Of course, | this dcess not make allowance for the !grcwth of Timmins, the population of | this cown, instead of being from 10,â€" ‘000 to 20,000, reaches past the 25,000 | mark. In the "10,000 to 20,000" class Timmins has really no competitors. The next listed in this class is Sudbury w‘ch $453,252.68â€"away below Timmins. This is the more remarkable in view of the l fact that Sudbury has several thousand more population than Timimins. While Kirkland Lake easily leads che "5,000 to 10.000" class, it should be noted that Kirkland Lake is creeping up close to Timmins in the matter of ] population. ‘ As a matter of fact, s would appear | that Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Sudâ€" bury should all have been placed in the !“20,000 to 40,000" class. In that class they woulid still have been the thiee big leaders. Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, would have been fourth in such a list, \having a toial of $165,973,93; Sydney, !N.S., fif‘t‘h with $148,.370.83; and Montâ€" !ton, N.B., sixth, with $145,867.63. The highest list given is the class of "cities of 40,000 and over." In that iclass, Timmins, Kirkland Lake and -‘Sudbury would still make a remarkâ€" i showing. Just how remarkable provement Pian inausuiraleu Uy â€" uis Dominion Government with the twoâ€" fold purpose of increasing employment and improving housing â€" conditions. Under the Home Improvement Plan, money was made available low rate of interest for hom» improvements of a large number of kinds. Timmins vas casily a leader in taking advantaze of ‘he Home Improvement Plan. No other municipality, with the one exâ€" c2t/ion of Kirkland Lake camse anyâ€" where near Timmins in this matter. ‘The figures given out recently by Hon. Mr. Dunning show that Timmins in the period ending Oct. 31ist, 1938, had no less than 853 Home Improvemer. Lcans, total loans in dollars and cents being $690,338.60. Kirkland Lake‘s loans for the same pseriod Sotalled 822, the total being $€656,224.21. able showing. Just how remarkable the standing really is may be realized by placing the three Northern towns referred to into the higher classificaâ€" tion. In such an 2vent Timmins stands filth, being only exceeded by four large citiesâ€"Toronto, Ont., Montroal, Que., Winnipeg, Man., and Vancouver, B.C. Under such a classification, the listâ€" ing would be as follows:â€" Tororto oiA i hi y 19y Montreal .

Taking his leave of the town hall after two years‘ service in ihe council, Bill Wren said that he bel‘sved every member of the council should justly have a fesling of satisfaction. The number of hot discussions showed that there had been no stagnacion and out of th:m came progress. Enumerating a number of things which he believed the council had acâ€" complished, Mr. Wren included among them the building bylaw now under preparation, the move to introduce a system whereby caxes might be paid in installments and work done with reâ€" gard to the Medical Officer of Health. ‘Umoy omm 0J tosq aatyt pnom UYOIUM qnoge uotjeuro0Jut pastmatp 140U peUI ‘pIBS oy ‘wuoyam ‘srsqicdat syy OJ OSTEe 1[PY uMO4j ayn J o 07 Ssyuey} JO aj0a P peiaott UsaiM *J ‘8utpnfatOop Councillors Roberts, McDermott, Piche and Eyre echoed the expressions of the Mayor and Councillors Brunette and Wren.
