At the regular meeting of the town council ten years ago Mayor Georg?e S. Drew presided, and Counciliors A. XÂ¥. Carson, H. Charlebsis, R. Richardson, P. Douzall, Alf. Caron and C. P.

Counciller Caron was present on crutches, bu . all were pl¢easâ€" ed to see him able to be around again . after his accident whon he had his leg broken while attempting to stop a runâ€" away norse that threatened to do seriâ€" ous injury or damage. Mayor Drow reâ€" ferred to the maciter of notices sent cut before the water is shut off in the case of arrears, Previous to 1926 one notice was sent to those in arrears for water rates and then the water was shut off. The 1926 council thougzsh. this procedure could be made more lenient, and so it was decided to send out a second notice before finally shutâ€" ting off the water. The plan had not worked out well. While thera used to be only 30 to 40 delinquents for wa.>r rates, there were now 200 getting beâ€" hind. "Leniency in this case does not seem to hnhelp." said the mayor. Csuncil decided that the one notice is sufficiâ€" ent. With the one notice and h reâ€" gular bill the occupant of the house should have ample notice. The clerical work in sending out the second notice was also costly to the town.

Numbers of foreizners, especialâ€" ly, hastened to lay in a supply of their favourite brands of "Oh, be Joyful", with the idea in mind of forestalling any curtailment of the Government‘s sale of liquor here. The situation deâ€" veloped freom the misleading heading across the face of one of the Toronto daily newspapers. This heading stigâ€" gested that the proposed amendments to the Mining Acst now befor» the Legisâ€" latur> would mean that the: liquor stores would be closed in all mining areas. â€" The carelessly worded article beneath the heading, written apparent=â€" y by some one in too big a hurry to T P TTE study out what the aforesaid amondâ€" monts meant, also added to the conâ€" fusion.

Fanned by a driving west wind, the flames in less than three hours desâ€" trayed the Ritz Hotel, gutted seven business establishments and damaged the CN.R. telegraph offisce. Guests from the 10â€"room hotel esâ€" caped without injury as did occupants of the other buildings, mostly twoâ€" storey structures. T Firemen worked in biting cold weaâ€" ther and in the face of a raging blizâ€" zard that blew down trees and disrupâ€" ed telephonic and telegraphic comâ€" munications for several hours. The fire began at 3 am. and by 7 o‘clock had destroved the Cash and Save store, Youneda Bread Company, Morisette Ladies‘ Wear, Girouard Jewâ€" elry, Valder Shoe Repair shop, the National Pharmacy and Whiston‘s. Tour Buildings Destroyed by Fire Saturday. The block, all wooden buildings was in the heart of the town‘s shopping centre and for a time it was feared the flames would spread across the narrow road to neighbouring stores. The temâ€" perature «was below zero as firemen, overworked during the past few days because of numerous chimney fires set by the gale. struggled with stiffened hoses. Profiting by a change in the direction of the wind, the firemen were able, however, to hold the fiames to the for buildings. The fire occurred within 100 feet of the costly Lalonde block fire of two weeks ago. Guests from the hotel fled in night attire and were given shelter in nearâ€" by homes. Members of a family living behind the National Pharmacy store also fled in night clothes.

THE PORCUPINE ADPVANCE, TIM Terms "Secession "Ridiculous" Talk The following is an editorial from Monday‘s issue of The North Bay Nugâ€" get:â€" Of all the threats that hav> issued from the North over a long period oi time, secession is the most ridiculous, for it is something which Northern Ontario couldn‘t advance with inent in all sections and even if it :oâ€" sulted in gaining what the ‘erm meains, it is extremely doubtful if northerners «ould make an auspicious start at setâ€" ting up a new province. TE Te mE Tne mayor of Timmins, J. P. Bartl>â€" man. rovived the old scare at A inz of the Association of Nor thern Onâ€" tario Municipalities at South Porcupine Friday night. He argued that separaâ€" tion from the older part of the proâ€" vince is the logical channel through which northem municipalities could nope to get recognition from the southâ€" ‘+n pars of the province. ~As it reads. that claim is ridictuous, for were the North to gain separation from the southern part of the provincé, the South wouldn‘t have any reason for showing "proper recognition" to this region. He further chargzed: "They com> up here and pat us on the bisk, tell us whatz ood fellows we ars and then forget it." One would infer that the Timmins mayor considers the enâ€" tire South is opposed to granting the North clue consideration. The sum and substance of the disâ€". satisfaction upon which the secession idea was bised is a claim for a greater share of mines‘ taxation for municipalâ€" ities of mining regions. As was conâ€" by Reeve Carter of Tock townâ€" ship (Kirkland Lake) inining centres cannot hops to gain recognition in this respect until the provincial government cbtains some concession from the Doâ€" minion â€" governnvent, And so, this directs the grievance at the Dominion administration and, therefore, secesâ€" sion, as advocated by the mayor of Timmins, wouldn‘t gain the North‘s point. The Dominion government and not Qusen‘s Park, draws the major part of taxss from the mines, and for no good reason. Mininz centres Are ijustified in pressing this claim they justified in pressing this Ciaim C are advancing it in the wrong c Until such time as the provir a better break in mines taxati Ottawa, it is ridiculous to pres: upon Q@usen‘s Park or to det soithern part of the province. Certainly Southern Ontario is not as sympathetic toward or as sonsiderate of Northern Ontario‘s needs as it should be, but we‘re never going to win its goodwill or greater assistance by threatening to set up a newW proâ€" vince. This threat must cause many laughs in the South, for southerners know the North wouldn‘t know where to commence if such an opportunity was opened. C wl .A m P n o onl =__ > . > New Ontario. Just whas would we do if Ontario and the Dominion agreed to the setting up of a new province? From where would we derive revenues and how would we be able to balance accounts with the section from which it is suggested we cut adrift? For the most part, reâ€" venues would have to come from inâ€" dustry." This would mean taxation upâ€" on mines, lumbering and tourist trads, with possibility of a little being realizâ€" ed from the sale of tim‘sered lands. Our plaint now is that we‘re not getâ€" ting a due share of minss taxation. This wouldn‘t be rectified by setting up a new province for the creation of a new principal government wouldn‘t imâ€" pel the Dominior sovernment to be more liberal. Another argument against secession is that the North is now split four ways in the matter of viewpoint. We have the northwestern region advocating a policy for that section, the Sault Ste. Marie regzion greatly concerned with advancinz its peduliar interests, the Sudkuryâ€"North Bay area holding a3pinâ€" ions not always reconcilable with those of other parts, and we have the T. N. O. district with distinct views on the developmens and advancement of the North for general gsood. Yes, we must first weld these districts into ons with a viewpoint and policy that will advance welfare in a gerscral manner before we even consider starting out on our own. The Nugzet has frequently advoca.â€" ed Northern Ontario conferences for th> purpose of promoting a better unâ€" derstanding among the pecples of the various "sections" and also for the purâ€" 200004 0000000000 n pose of evincing unity and determinaâ€" tion when advancing anything before either government. The rxisting "setâ€" tionalism" displayed in clamors for rights in the Transâ€"Canada highway project, is the greatest of our deterâ€" rents. Remove this by developing "understanding" and wi:‘ll get along much better with our development and expansion plans. gets from laims > the "These rackets Aare not Ca so much at this season of when transportation is nc but during the season when more open the "racket bo lthe countryside.

Timmins Branch Backed by Strong Institution The Dominion Bank Increases Local Facilities for Originally Opened Branch in Timmins in M Business Steadily Expanded Here. The enlarged premises provided this year for the Timmins branch of the Dominion Bank typifies the steady growth of this Institution as a whole. The permanent building erected by The Dominion Bank in Timmins a number of years ago, proof of the foresight of the management of the Bank, and their confidence in the future of this comâ€" munity, has herstoforse been used only in part for banking purposes. The inâ€" crease in the Bank‘s business here has now necessitated occupation of the enâ€" tire building. Efficient andt dependable banking service is at present provided through 133 branches of The Dominion Bank in Canada. This bank was a pioneer in the development of ‘the Canadian hnraneh Pranking# system as a whols, the develicpment . of LGAILAQJA_All branch kanking system as a whols, naving sstablished the first city subâ€" branch in Toronto in 1872. The Canâ€" adian branch banking system is much admired in other countries, particularly in the United States, for its ccmjinaâ€" ticn of local service and attention to Iocal interests with financial strength and sound connections. Thno Dominion Bank originally oapenâ€" ed for business in an old wooden, ongâ€" storey building on Pine street, next to Meyer‘s Drug Store, on the 13th of May, 1920. The first manager of the ranch was Mr. W. J. Duncas, who is now managzer in the Dominion Squars branch in Montrsal. He was succeedâ€" ed by Mr. John L. Hunt, who was in tnterior view of the Timmins Branch of the Dominion Bank, showing the handsome and wellâ€"equipped premises now used exclusively for bank purposes.

When the Timmins branch was estabâ€" lished Ths> Dominion Bank was in a position to give to the peope of this district, through this branch, the beneâ€" fits of a banking service of great stabilâ€" ity, already proved by 51 years‘ ex«= perience. The year 1869 was the date? when first steps were takon towards the foundinz of this kank, although its charter was not taken out until 1871. It is interesting that a member of the founding group, now the Rt. Hon. Sir wWm. Mulock, P.C., KCMG., is still living and interested in the bank. C. H. Carlisle is now president of The N~minion Eank, and Robert Rae the general manager. Timmins is favoured in havingz five branch banks, representatives of Canâ€" ‘ada‘s most progressive >anking institu= tions, and the local managers,â€"who are highly respected citizens, are deeply in« ‘terested in the promotion and wialfare of this district.
