ANOTHER AMERICAN Number of Grants are Authorized by Council at Meeting Yesterday The third grant was to the Timmins Citizens‘ Band. The band asked for their grant as soon as possible so the courcil will send them a cheque for $400. The Timmins town council spent more money at yesterday afterncon‘s mecting than they have done for some time. Three separate resolutions cost the town of Timmins exactly $5,700. The three resolutions were for grants that had been in the estimates. The biggest grant was to St. Mary‘s Hosâ€" pital who wrote to the council and askâ€" ed if they could have the grant of $5,000 that was promised them for 1941 at the earliest convenience of council. Quite an argument arose when a letâ€" ter from Mr. Al Wetmore was read to the counmcil. Mr. Wetmore is repreâ€" senting the owners of the property on the North End Streets that the town council decided to expropriate last waek. The ccouncil decided long ago that they wantad the property and they asked for a price on it from the owners. The price quoted by the ownâ€" ers was 20 cents a square foot. ‘The council at that time thought that the price was high and they had a valuaâ€" tion of the property made The town then offered the owners 11 cents a foot for the property. The council also deâ€" cided at last week‘s meeting that if the owners refused to accept this price the property would be expropriated and if the owners were not satisfied they could leave the â€"question of a price to a board of arbritation. St. Mmy s Hospital Given Annual Grant of $5,000. Citiâ€" ens‘ Band Gets $400. Timmins Cemetery Board Receives $300. Some Arduous Arguments Arise During Regular Meceting. The Timmins Cemetery Board wrote to the council asking for $300. This represents a portion of the grant proâ€" mised to them by the town. After considerable argument on the question yesterday afternoon the counâ€" cil decided to ignore the letter and let the property be expropriated. The questicn had been settled last week and council felt that there was nothing they could do about it now. Mr. Wetâ€" more suggested several reasons for askâ€" ing for a higher price and one was that anmotlhier property farther away from the centre of the town had been bought by the council and he argued that the price was actually paid for the property was 14.2 cents a foot and not 10 cents as theâ€"council thought. Another question that came in for a lot of yvesterday was the one of extending Patricla Boulevard to the town limits. Several of the big tax payens of the town have purchased some property just outside the town limits in the township of Tisdale and they want a rightâ€"ofâ€"way through to the town limits. Councillor Eyre arguâ€" ed that if the town extended the Timmins Kiwanis Club Present Union Jack to San Antonio, Texas, Club Theore were two features at the wekly hancheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club in the Empire hotel on Mcnday of this week. The one was the official visit of the District Govâ€" etnor â€"â€" Kiwanis Lieutenantâ€"Governor Frank H. Taodd, of Cobalt, The other was the presentation of a Union Jack to the San Antonio Kiwanis Club, as a token of good will, friendship and the thousght of neighbourlinss and muâ€" tual esteem. It was a particularly imâ€" pressive ges‘ure in these days and emâ€" phasized the thought of international friemdship and regard, which is a feaâ€" ture of Kiwanis principles. Lieut.â€" Governor Tedd made the presentation on behalf of the Timmins Club. It was especially appropriate that the flag should be accepted for the San Antonio, Texas, Kiwanians, by Kiwai» isnn Vineert Woodbury. All thrcugh the ycars Mr. Woodbury has done his part io increase friendship, vunderstandâ€" ing and goodwil! betwern Canada and the United States.

He eimâ€" phasized the fact of the need for the utmost patriotic endeavour. He conâ€" traoted the ideology of the Axis nations with the principles of the Kiwanis Cltub. "Our motto," he said, "is To Build." ‘The apparent motto of the aggressor nations was the exact conâ€" trary.
