McNzeil and McCabe came down to his house on Sunday, he said. Together they drew up a list of commiirees. He had the list in his pocket, When the ftirst meeting of Council was held they brought in an entirely differens list. "I am very sorry these gcn‘.}cmcn can‘t take it," said Councillor Mcâ€" Neil. "Things go finte when cverything is their way. I would be satisfied to go before the people with this thing. I wouldn‘t be a quitter." Finally Councillor Armstrong got to his feet: "It.is still a deep myswery to me why they did this. Of course it‘s their businessâ€"their business. T( «1 wers in your position on the other side of the fence I would never havys done a thing like that." He sat down. Next was Councillor McCabe. Ho underssood we were living in a demoâ€" cracy in which the majority ruled. He believed that if he were in the position of the three men who resigned he would be able to accept defeat. The Mayor passed them <to the Deâ€" puty Clerk who read the resignations of the three men. They caused a senâ€" sation. Some in the audience shouted, others cheered and the majority reâ€" mained silent. No explanation was forthcoming from the three Councillors, however. The Mayor and Councillors McCabs, McNeil and Cousins also voiled in favyâ€" our of a motion to pay Mr. Montgomery his salary in full up to March 10, 1939. Immediately after the passing of lc byâ€"law Councillor Cousins gathered papers from Councillors Brunette and Roberts and passed them to the Mayor: "Read th®ese," he said. The motion was put to the question. For it, were Councillors McCabe, Mc#+ Neil and Armssrong. gainst were Councillors Roberts, Cousins and Bruâ€" nette. The decidingzg vote was cast by the Mayor in favour of revoking ‘Mr. Montgomery‘s appointment. Councillor Armstrong: "You know as well as I do that for the pass number of years Mr. Montgomery‘s services have not been satisfactory. I have eccnsulted with all the depar‘iment heads. I find that he has a small amount of work to do for $300 a month, He is simply a clerk for the Council. He has a few cutsids problems and the Town employs a secretary to deal with them. All that will be necessary is a slight roadjustment in departâ€" moenits to take care of the dutics formâ€" erly handled by him." Councillor McCabe gcw, to his feet. He wanted to endorss the statements of Councillor Armstrong, he said. He was in fayvour of the resolution beâ€" cause he wanted greater efficency, and more economy. ‘"‘What‘s wrong hoere anyway," cried Councillor Brunctte. Councillor Armstrong: "The majority o[ the Finance Commit{ee recommeondâ€" ed this byâ€"law as a means to effect grcater economy and greater efficioncy through the Town departments." "Where did Montgomery fali down?" said Councillor Brunette to Councillor Armstrong. "What do you know about it? How long have you been here? Have you ever worked with Mr. Montâ€" gomery ?2" Ccouncillors McCabe and Armstrong moved that it be read a second and third time and passed and then the fireworks started.

They are using this Council chamâ€" _ for their union purposes. They A resolution io adjourn brought the hectic meeting to an end. The three men who resigned their office pri on their couts and hats and walked out through a vociferous, gesticulatng crowd. They did nct wait for the reâ€" lief meeting that was scheduled for after the Council session. The Mayor ended the discussion with the remark that he had been fighting for the rights of the people for six years. He now was fighting with the men on his left, referring to Councilâ€" lors Armstrong, McNeil and McCabe. He never quit, said the Mayor. are using the town hall as a football for the union," he charged. It appeared to be bad policy to Councillor McCabe to raise such an issue. "I admit that I am an official of the local miners‘ union. My one great aim is to help build up the minâ€" ers‘ union. Butâ€"I am also a Councilâ€" lor. I swore on the public platform that I world do all I could to protect the interests of the town and I will." Councillor Tom McNeill said he was proud of the Timmins fire department for its efficiency and because it was one fown department that was in bona fide organized labour union circles. He concluded with a humorous story that made big hit. Other speakers included G. A. Macâ€" donald, editor of The Advance, J. Marks, of The Press, M. Corbeil, editor of L@ Voix Populaire, and Jolhn Morâ€" rison, secretary of the Volunteer Fire Brivad > W. H.

He agreed that the men should have one day off a week where this was feasible and he would support a move to that effect. made a point of trying to suggzest alâ€" ternatlives that could be The growth of the town made the growth of the department necessary. Every year he had to appear more strict to the men and to ask more from the council. Changing times and condiâ€" tions made this necessary. He pointâ€" ed out that the firemen averaged 12 hours a day seven days a week. The men showed fine spirit about this, reâ€" cognizing the expense of a threeâ€"shift plan. He did think, however, thas it might be practical to arranse for one day off each week for the men and he recommended this to the consideration of the council. ‘"For He‘s a Jolly Good Fellow" was sung with enthusiasm. Councillor _ Wellington Armstrong said he would endcavour to do whatâ€" cver he believed would be beneficial for the firemen at a moment‘s notice out that firemen at a moments‘s notice have to risk their lives in their work. They perform many heroic acts of which little is heard, he said. "In all this let me assure you I am sincere; 1t is not just idle words," he added. He fe‘{ that the firemen should have one day off a week, and h»> would work for that. He had lived in Toronto and noted the responses made there to fires. He believed that the Timmins brigade made speedier responses to call and showed full efficiency. Ho compliâ€" mented the fire chief and all the memâ€" bers of the fire department. He was greeted with rounds of applause and an appropriate song as he concluded. _ Councillor Len Cousins, chairman of the ‘waterworks committee for 1939, spoke of his appreciaition for the fire departinent. "I will do anything I can Councillor McCabe, the new chairâ€" man of the fire and light committee, admitted vo being a Progressive as a previous speaker had suggested and he hoped to work for cthe progress of the town. He added his good words for the fire department and expressed his goodwill with the words: "I want each and everyone of you to feel that your prcblems are my problems and that I will help all‘ I can." Fire Chief Borland was given affecâ€" vlonate greeting as he rose in response to a call from the chair. He said that he had endeavoured as chief at all times to play cthe game fairly not only with the men on the brigade but also with the council and the town. H» thanked che volunteers and the paid firemen for their coâ€"operation â€" and goodwill. In reply to the mayor‘s reâ€" ference, he said that he felt that he had to protect himself, the department, the council and the town by recomâ€" mending whatever might be necessary to assuns safety.
