In short. the more she learns about dining the more Mrs. Mergentime turns to gayly infiormal mood-s for her own table'cioth designs. The kind that can be used for simple amusing parties where good convm‘saLion is as impart- ant- as good food to the success of the occasion. “Some two or three hours after din- ner. when the gentlemen had rejoined the ladies. tea and coffee were served in a new set .of china on silver salvers together with bread. biscuits, and cake.

(-CprrighL. 1939. by 13112: Rae Boykin). At a regular meeting oi the Timminsl Ratepayers' Association. held in the ‘3 town hall on Friday evening, March 21st. 1919. the members present. went on record in favour of an early start. that year in the construction of sewers. as well as the water-works extensions planned. The president, J. 'P. Bartleâ€" man, occupied the chair. Dr. J. A. ‘Mcâ€" Innis. mayor. said he believed the peoâ€" ple of the town wanted the «waterworks extensions and also desired the instal- lation of sewers in Tirmnins. Health safety required a sewerage system. he said. Financial conditions had held back the oounéi'l in past years. {out he thought something should be done now. He thought there would be little diffi- culty in financin; the sewerage system on the local improvement plan. He pointed out the saving that would he made «by putting in waterworks ex- ensions and sewers at one time, the one trench accommodating .both. Mr. R. J. tJemmett said that he could not find legal support for the common idea that a municipality could not exceed 25 mills on the dollar tor general pur- poses and debentures. He thought the people wanted both waterworks ex- tensions and sewers and would be ready to pay for both. Councillor E. 1.. Long- more reviewed the finances of the town and showed the narrow margin there was to .pay on without increasing. tax- ation beyond the point he thought the law allowed. He emphasized the fact that he was not throwing cold water on the sewerage system plan, (out was simply outlining the financial position as it appeared to him. He advised “The making of haste slowly," in the matter. Councillor Brazeau gave an outline of the proposed plans for the T" __ _ - {Twenty Years Ago sewerage system and mhe watexworks extensions. Councillor Longmme said that his understanding of the law was that the town oould not. exceed 25 mills W. P. Noals of the General Pasaen- ger Department. Canadian National Railways.

The Advance concluded its report of the meeting with this paragraphzâ€"- “There was considerable discussion as to whether the 25 mills restriction would apply, and those on both sides 01 the argumem «were unconvinced. Even- tually. it. was decided to test. the coin- ion of «he meeting as to whether there was a general desire to proceed this year with both the sewerage and water- works extensions.

Here is the truthful item that holds much interest whilo still keeping to the past of fact: “Mr. Gillies. of the Hudson post at Moose FJCLOI‘y.

The following from The Advance of March 26th. 1919. will he of general in- temst:--“Couneillor John W.

Under the direction of Mr. Fogg the arch has materialized into something much more attractive and imposing than expected 'by the town council. It is generally considered to have any Similar arch in the North Country beaten seven ways for apâ€" pearance and construction. It runs right across the street with broad pil- lars on large arches over the read and bears .the inscription on each side. “Welcome Home.“ The one face of the arch looks directly at the exit from the depot and the other faces down Third avenue. The structure is solidly built of North Land lumber and cover- ed all over with spruce boughs. It is a handsome and complete piece of good workmanship. The work was done un- wi' der the supervision of Mr. Fogg by Contractor D. St. Onge. The arch is lighted at night by electric lights. The work was commenced on Wednesday night of last week and everything was completed within a week from the time of starting. The resolution of the council suggested that the total cos. t of the arch .3e kept within $150 .00 if pos- sible, but it was rec egnized that 0200 .00 would be nearer the probably cost. It is likely. however. that even the latter figure will be exceeded (when all the figures are in for the work.” School at Larder Lake Closed on Account of “Flu” An influenza epidemic at Lardcr Lake last week resulted in the closing of the school at that town. One of the much- 31's was ill with the disease while over 60 of the pupils also had the disease. The school will remain closed until after Easter, when it is expected that the epidemic will ‘be over. The disease is fortunately of mild type at Larder Lake. as at. other places in the North. Apart from the school children it is said that about 300 adults have had the disease in recent weeks.
