Herbert Warren As a taxpayer and resident for the past ten years I am vitally rterested in the progress and future of Timmins. I am willing to work wholeheartedly for the betterment of our town and for the people who make Timmins their home. As a miner and a businessman I am able to understand the proâ€" blems and needs of both and will be able to use this knowledge to advantage if elected to the town counceil. for Councillor 'Headed Medical Committee Poll 1 at the Hollinger Quoting the slozan "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time," Mr. Howlett said that he thought the electorate realized that they had been fooled this year and were determined to show on Monday that they would not be made "goats‘" of again. "I did not enter this election to blacken any man‘s name and I have no intention of doing so. If I am elecâ€" ted I will speak my mind on the council and do my utmost for the workingmen and the general good of the town." "I am contesting a seat on the Counâ€" cil with the knowledge that my fellow workmen know me to be an able fighter for their interests," said George James Howlett, one of the candidates for Council, in an interview with The Adâ€" vance today. The Mayor abruptly changed the subject at that point in our conversaâ€" tion. He told me that I should do something for the town. I told him that I was no philanthropist and, in no uncertain terms that if he examined Mr. Howlett pointed out that in a recent poll at the Hollinger for election to the Hollinger Employees‘ Medical Association he got more votes than any other candidate. He felt that that was proof of the fact that he had the trust and confidence of the miners and that they similarly, would want to entrust im with the management of their afâ€" fairs in the town council. He deplored the form the election was taking; candidates hurling aAbuse at each other‘s heads and conducting the whole election with more animosity than sense. John Carnovale Replies to Mayor‘s Reference to Rink Dear Sir:â€"I do not think that the mud slinging of Mayor Bartleman should be allowed to go unchallenged. Last night, in a speech over the air, the Mayor made several vicious misreâ€" presentations in his address. The facts with relation to the matter of which he spoke are as follows. Recently Mr. Bartleman called me to his office. He wanted to see me. The Mayor asked me if I was going to open the Timmins Arena this year. I said that I intended to keep on openâ€" ing the rink during the winter season so long as there was no arena conâ€" structed in this town. He asked me if I would rent the arena and what I would ask. In reply I told him that last winter I leased the building to a group of businessmen, under the ausâ€" pices of the Kiwanis Club, for the sum At this point in the discussion Mr. Bartleman tried to intimidate me reâ€" garding taxes. I could be taxed highâ€" er, he said. He asked me if I would sell the rink for the amount at which it was assessed. "Yes," I said in reply, "I will sell the rink for that amount providing you will sell me your properties at the amount they are assessed for. For some of them I would give twenty times the amount they are assessed at. Furthermore, I am ready to pay you and make it a deal. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins, Ont. I would rent the arena and what I would ask. In reply I told him that last winter I leased the building to a group of businessmen, under the ausâ€" pices of the Kiwanis Club, for the sum of $2,000. I told him that at the end of the seaâ€" son this group which controlled the arena made a profit of abosut $700 notâ€" withstanding the fact that one of the hockey playâ€"off games which should have been held here, was played in the McIntyre Arena. I told him that he could have the areng at the same price and under the I told him that he could have the arena at the same price and under the same terms, whereas, he wanted to know what I would ask for a yearâ€" around lease of the arena. I told him that I would have to think the matter over but that if he wanted it, for a around lease of the arena. I told him that I would have to think the matter over but that if he wanted it, for a rink in the winter and, possibly, as a market in the summer or for whatever else they might use it, I might ask as high as $5,000. Deplores Fact Candidates Hurling Abuse at Each Other During Campaign. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Gives Due Credit to Former Councils for Good Work Done Why Mtr a â€" private "I hardly need to tell you that I don‘t mind a fight, so long as it is fair and no hitting below the belt, no foul blows," Karl Eyre, one of last year‘s valuable councillors, and candidate for the 1940 council told The Advance last night. He thought the present contest, as carried along by some, with misreâ€" presentation, improper appeals to race and class prejudices, and undeserved personal reflections, was not in the public interests. _ Representing all councils previous to 1939 as incomâ€" petent and worse was neither fair nor sensible. ‘"Many of our best and most respected citizens have served on the council in the years that are past, and the Timmins of toâ€"day is proof of the ability and the fine public spirit of these men. I don‘t think it is necesâ€" sary or fair to belittle the services of these good citizens. I have lived here almost continuously for 24 years and nave watched the growth of the town from a small mining centre to the bigâ€" gest town in Canada and am proud to be here and bring up my family." Mr. Eyre has seen no reason to change his opinion expressed at the opening of the present municipal camâ€" paign that this is the most important election, in the history of Timmins. Because of the great importance of gold in the economy of the Allies, this gold mining town has a special place in adding to the victory. "One important way to help win the war is to adminâ€" ister the town of Timmins wisely and economically," said Mr. Eyre, "keeping the town free from subversive efforts, and uniting all for the common cause." The recent election in Quebec province has shown the unity of purpose and of friendship that exist in Canada toâ€"day Mr. Eyre pointed out, and if Timmins followed the same good lines that all are Canadians, all British, all loyal to the same ideals of freedom and fair play and friendship, this town would be doing its share in tiie present trying times and assuring its own progress and development. Karl Eyre Feels that the Town Should Get Back to Unity and Goodwill. ‘Mr. Eyre referred to the array Of figures and statements quoted pro and con during the past week or so, and ventured the opinion that in some cases they were confusing â€" perhaps meant to be that way. "I do not proâ€" fess to be any financial wizard as do some of the present council," he said, "but I have been fairly successful in operating my own business in this town for the past seventeen years, and its success has not been based on promises but was built up by hard work and honest business methods." Judging by his recent mudâ€"slinging and nasty accusations over the air, Mr. Bartleman is adopting the policy of judging others by his own yardstickâ€" a very bad business for whomever he is discussing if he does that sort of thing. Apparently we have a mayor who is a petty scheming politician who is full of animosity and hatred for anyone who is not for Mr. Bartleman and Mr. Bartleman‘s interests. his own conscience he would find very little generosity there. t P DP DA DA P L DL P P P P w tA A D S P PA A L L L LCC L P l P lt Yours truly, John Carnovale t â€"stPâ€"lP" P L L "ooo'-mm""'o'o'o"'o'owmo'- CS\’\‘S\’flflS‘fl\\\\\\\\\flfl\flfi\\\fi\\\\\\\\\\" Mr. Brunette: â€" "Previous to 1934 the Timmins Police force was governed by a committee of Councillors, and was directly under political control.
