The clerkâ€"treasurer outlined a plar that was being followed in the townâ€" ships of Teck, Tisdale and Whitney whereby they were sending their reâ€" presentatives to Toronto to interview the responsible parties. Teck had reâ€" ceived their share of the income. the clerk said, but neither Tisdals, Whitâ€" ney or Timmins had collected a cent of their share yvet. He told the council that he had been in confererce with the deparment of Municipal Affairs in Tcronto on his last trin to the Queen City last month and he had been told at that time that the payment was being held back and was also given an inkling as to why this was being done. ‘The â€" Timmins â€" council â€" yesterday afternoon had quite a discussion in reâ€" gard to the Municipal Subsidy and Mines Income Tax, when they held a special meeting. The discussion startâ€" ed when the clerkâ€"treasurer informed the councillors that the town had not yet received its share of the mines income tax or the municipal subsidy for 1941. He suggested that the matâ€" ter be attended to immediately as the provincisl house opened this week and that the matter be brought before the proper officials. It appeared that the department of education was complaining about the amount collected from the province going ino the general funds of the town when it should go into the funds set aside for the school boards. It was pointed out that the department. of educaticn had refused to give their asâ€" sent to the payment of the money so the provincial treasurer had his hands tied and couldn‘t pay out the tax. The clerk said that Pat Murphy clerk of Tisdale township, had outlined a proposal to be presented to.the deâ€" partment officials explaining how the affair might be straightened out and he had suggested that the town of Timmins send a delegate to Toronto as well. The council finally passed a reâ€" solution â€" authorizing â€" Clerkâ€"Treasurer Art Ehaw to represent the town on the delegation. The council also passed a resolution authorizing the paying of a tenâ€"dollar membership in the Association of Asâ€" sessing Officers of Ontario for Assessâ€" ment Commissioner Art Shaw and Assessor A. Longmore. The letter from the association outlined the advantages of securing a membership in the assoâ€" ciation and said that the recent conâ€" ference that resulted in the birth of the associaion had proved very sucâ€" cessful and helpful to all who attendâ€" ed. Those attending had gained much assessing practice that would eventuâ€" ally result in more equitable assessâ€" ment all over Ontario. Clerk Leaves Tonight to Intervitew Government Re Mines Income Tax Two letters were received from the Timmins Library Board, one thafking the council for advising the board of the reâ€"appointment of F. Burt to the board and the other asking for an inâ€" crease in the annual grant to the board. It was pointed out that the Library Board would require $11,500 this year while the grant was $10,503 last year. The matter will be conâ€" sidered at a later date when the estiâ€" mates for the year are considered.

Walker, who had been secretaryâ€"treasurer of the Timâ€" mins public school board for a number of years, resigned on account of the pressure of other business, but the reâ€" signation was not accepted until the end of the year.

The board felt that a permanent secretaryâ€" treasurer would be a valuable agsset to the board and to the town. The posiâ€" tion was given to Mrs. Springham and an office given her in the Central school. Mrs. Springham has been carrying on the work very successfully for the past couple of months and the service has been of value not only to the school board and the school staffs, but also to the ratepayers who happen to have any business with the board or with the . schools.

The British troops were believed to be still holding out but military quarters in London admitted that they had not received direct communication â€" from Singapore since 4.30 pm. yesterday. The Singapore radio was heard weakly yesterday imorning at eight o‘clock but its signals were unintelliglble. Cable companies reported that tneir lines to the island . were still open. Though the British stand was feared to be hopeless the military expert voiced the opinion that it was undoubtedly still strong. The Japs, with their landing operationt across the Strait of Johore now unimpeded, were known to be using light and medium tanks in the battle and it was admitted that they were undoubtedly using the causeâ€" way that connects the island with uie mainland.â€" All aidromes on the island were reported to be under fire and were untenable.
