.. Mr. Belec said that the Boys Bugle Band would be even more ready in the future to give its services to any worthy civic cause, and that the council‘s kindâ€" ness and consideration would be an inspiration to the band to continue its work with renewed interest. Council was asked to endorse an apâ€" pllca-tion for a commercial fishing licâ€" ense. The granting of such a license would assure Timmins people of lots of fresh fish,. Council did not see its way clear to support the application. Counâ€" cillor Karl Eyre said that while everyâ€" one would like to see the town well supplied with fresh fish, he thought it was out of the jurisdiction of council to endorse such applications. There is a department of Game and Fisheries and a Game Warden here with the necessary knowledge to consider such applications, he said. Monday, Sept. 6th, being Labour Day and a public holiday a motion was passed to declare that date a civic holiâ€" day. The regular council meeting for that week will be held on Tuesday, Sept. Tth. H. Belec, secretary and dfrector of the Timmins Boys Bugle Band wrote a warm letter of thanks to the council for the grant made at a recent meeting A letter was received from Mrs, Alex Borland, Sr.., thanking council very sincerely for the thoughtful and kindly motion passed at a meeting last week. This resolution praised Mrs. Borland for her wonderful services to the Fire Dept. and to the town, and provided for a $25.00 a month pension for her. Mrs. Borland‘s letter said that she would be delighted to do anything she could in any way in the future for the Fire Dept. or the town. _ The Ontario Dept. of Health sent its approval for the town‘s plan to conâ€" struct a new town water main. â€"A letter from Mr. Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., promised that he was personally taking up the letter and resolution from Timmins endorsing the Ottawa Board of Control plan to have the Domâ€" inion Government take over the supply and sale of wood in the present emerâ€" gency. "The Ontario Dept. of Mines acknowâ€" ledged the receipt of the letter from Timmins council in regard to the comâ€" pletion of the road to Wawaitim Falls, and promised the question would be duly considered. _A letter from Prime Minister Macâ€" kenzie King acknowledged the receipt of the letter and resolution from Timâ€" mins in reference to the wood fuel sitâ€" uation. ~_Hon. Mr. Howe, Minister of Muniâ€" tions and Rupplies told the Timmins Council that the Dominion could not actept the responsibility for local probâ€" lems in regard to fuel wood. Such matters were for the municipality to deal with,. He suggested, however, that the Wood Fuel Controller would coâ€" operate in every possible way. Councillor Spooner reported that the town had contracted for 4,500 cords of fuel wood for the town. This was little more than a quarter of the estimated needs. Of the 4,500 cords some 2,500 cords had already been cut. He sugâ€" gested that if the need continued as at present the Government would be ask< ed to provide prioritiee on both men and equipment for the cutting of the fuel, ‘Also that the Ontario Governâ€" ment should be asked to provide suitâ€" able wood lots close to town for local wood dealers. Probably the most important mattei at the regular meeting of the town council on Monday was the question of the fuel wood outlook for the coming winter, Councillor J. W. Spooner, chairman of the committee in charge of the matter, said that he regretted to ~have to state that the fuel wood sluation toâ€"day is worse than it was a month ago. He pointed out that this condition was due to the labour shortâ€" age. He thought the best way to meet the situation was first of all to learn exactly what was needed. To achieve this purpose a complete survey had been planned. There would be a quesâ€" tionaire sent out to every business place and residence in the town to‘! find the actual needs. Each residence‘ and business place would show on the quesâ€" tionaire what wood would be needed, the amount on hand, and other details. With this information on hand it would be possible to arrive with reasonable accuracy at the amount of wood jthat the town would need to have available from all sources. The questionaire would be distributed by special arâ€" raéngements with the Boy Scouts, and a few days afterwards the questionaire would be gathered up and returned b the Boy Scouts Of course it would be necessary to estimate a still further amount of wood: needed, as in view of. the probable shortage of coal there. would be a special run on wood fuel. _ 215 JAP PLANES DESTROYED IN TWO DAYS Town Council Committee to Conduct Fuel Survey to Ascertain the Needs Questionaires to be Distributed for Committee by Boy .
