We might have a constable lecture from time to time," continued His Worâ€" ship. The Chief of Police was enthusiastic, ; added the Mayor. Of course all of the Powassan News: Somsbody has sugâ€" members of Council were eager to see gested a statue to the man who inventâ€" safety measures taught to the school ‘ed rubber tires. Maybe a bust would children. ‘However, the attention of be more appropriaté. Discussion was brought to an end by passage of the byâ€"lawâ€"discussion that is, on that particular facet of the police department and its administration. Rarlicr in the meeting, however, the matter of police arose. A request was received from the Timmins Safety League asking the Council to pay oneâ€" third of the fee for affiliating the Timâ€" nins Safety League with the National Safety Council. Total fee was $25. The letter pointed out that the League was an organization composed of representâ€" alives from the Timmins Lions Club, the Timmins Kiwanis Club and the Police Department. Its purpose was to educate school children to traffic safety. "They want $8.34 from us," said the Mayor, "but they also want a picture machine to show safety films and a constable to give lectures in the schools." Results of an enquiry showed that one municipality fed its prisoners ‘"anything from a hot dog to a forty cent meal," the Mayor said. Councillor Armstrong advanced his opinion with regard to meals for prisoners. It cost $1400 to feed prisâ€" oners last year he said. Of course, the town got $700 of that amount back again. So, it cost the town over three dollars a day to feed prisoners last ; While on the subject of police the Mayor also advanced the opinion that the Council should go into the matter of the cost of food for prisoners. "We feed the prisoners very woell here," he said. « "I have a very high regard for the present Chairman," continued the Mayor, "but after all he is here only once a woeek." Said the Mayor: "You place me in a very awkward position having to reply. but I can‘t help but think as you do. The Mayor is representing the citizens who pay for this service and it seems to me that he should be Chairman.‘". "It appears that when the Magistrate is Chairman he leaves the Chief of Police to run things until he gets here again," said Councillor Armstrong. "I trust that the Commission wiil take this matter up and adjust it." It was strange, continued Councillor Armstrong that the Chairman should be a man who lived cutside the town and who visited here only once a week. It seemed to him that the elected member of the Commission should be the Chairman. After all it was the town‘s money that ran the Police Deâ€" partment. Another reason for having the Mayor as Chairman, which was advanced by the speaker, was that he was better able to keep in touch with the "small things" which occurred. When the Mayor asked for discussion Councillor Armstrong arose to his feet. The byâ€"law did not go far enough to suit him, he said. â€" The Commission could be set up much better than it was. It was strange when the elected Mayor of a municipality was just an ordinary member of the Commission. "I should like to explain my stand," said Councillor McoCabe. "I am given to understand that one member of the Police Commission actually attended about three meetings last year for which he was paid $100. I think it was a crime to pay a man $33 a meetâ€" ing. This byâ€"law should fix that situaâ€" tion." Discussion was precipitated by a byâ€" law which was passed altering sections of the present byâ€"law governing the Commission in order to remuncrate Commissioners to the extent of $8 for every mcoeting actually attended. The present setâ€"up of the Police Commission with Magistrate S. Atkinâ€" son as Chairman, came under the criâ€" ticism of the Council at its regular meeting on Monday evening in the Council chamber. Canada Five juveniles woere brought before Magistrate McCurry in connection with the case Saturday morning and were given a good "talking to" by the court, No charge was laid against them. Facing a charge of receiving stolen gooas, Oregine Chatelaine, 28, was given a suspended sentence. the school boards might be drawn to the matter.
