Acting Mayor Councillor W. P. Mcâ€" Dermott suggested that the owners of the kennels be advised to find new premises outside the town and be given a stated time to make the move. Another matter of special intrrest . e at the meeting was an odd tax sale Seni case. M. Kalynuik, Hart street, |: claimed that he had been paying taxes on a lot that was sold for taxes in 1941.| App He had bought the lot in 1938 ana| ano had kept up the taxes on it for some|memb years after he bought it. The taxes for |Teach which the lot was sold must have been before he bought. ‘"Didn‘t you notice‘ evenir the line, arrears of taxes, marked ings plainly on each tax notice?" Councillor were ; Terry asked. His reply was to the ty of effect that he usually: just paid such Music. This Unit of Victory Loan Drive Makes Good Start in First Days of Selling Councillor Ellen Terry stressed th fact that the medical officers‘ report showed conditions to be sanitary and satisfactory from a health standpoint and if the kennels were otherwise a public nuisance the police. and not the council were the ones to deal with the matter. *4 Councillor Bonhomme said that if the council issued license to the kenâ€" nels that made the matter the reâ€" sponsibility of the council. _ Councillor Bonhomme thought it dic not matter who was there first or last. and he was in sympathy with those complaining about the conditions. Councillor Roberts pointeda out thai in every community as large as Timâ€" mins there was genuine need for suck an institution as the Animal Clinic. Asking them to move out of town wa:s not the solution as the spread of th: town would soonâ€"result inâ€"the situatior being repeated. P At the regular meeting of the. town council on Monday night one of the chief questions before the session was the matter of the ‘dog hospital kenâ€" nels at 367 Pine street northâ€"the Yorkshire Animal Clinic Boarding Kennzls, conducted by Mr. and Mrs. J. Cousintine. The Porcupine Health Unit inspectors reported that they had made more than one inspection of the premises and found them saniâ€" tary and satisfactory. One of those who had petitioned the, council to have the kennels removed from their present location disputed this finding, claiming that tne premises had been cleaned up in preparation for the ofâ€" ficial visit. He also said that the noise from the dogs being kept at the. kenâ€" nels was disturbance to the neighbourhood, and~ that the. smell from the premises was most: undesirâ€" able, while Aies wereâ€"attracted by the thousands to the detriment; of all the neighbourhood. Councillor: William Roberts said that if the kennels ‘constituted: a, public nuisance it was a matter for the palice and not for the council. He added that the kennels had been established long before most of the complainants had located in the district. Councillor Karol could not see that the council could do anything if the Yorkshire Kennels were abiding by al the regulations and if the Medica Health Unit considered it satisfactor; and sanitary. The police, he thought were the ones to deal with the case i it were a public nuisance. The only thing the council could do would b to refus2 a license to the kennels.

Semor Piano Students Hear Recorded Music Starting this week special arrangeâ€" ments have been made at the police station to receive applications for bicycle licenses for the current year. Applications for the bicycle licenses may be made from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. until further notice. All owners of bicycles should note the fact. Reâ€" member the hoursâ€"3 pm. to 9 p.m. each day. All bicycles in town must carry the town licenses, and the sooner this little matter is attended to the better all round. A letter was received from S. J. Morgan, secretary of the Porcupine Rod and:Gun Club, asking ror the use of the town trucks in the distribution of the for restocking of + lakes. and: streams. Mr. Morgan pointedâ€"out that the restocking proâ€" grammeâ€"was an extensive :one,, and the membership fees of, the Club were.not sufficient to finance the undertaking. Previqusly the. workâ€" had been done by volunteerâ€" service by. cars and trucks, but. gasoline tire restrictions make this impractical at present. The matter was referred to Councillor William McDermott, chairman of the works committee. ! A grant of $3,000 for 1945 was passâ€" d for St. Mary‘s Hospital. _ $375 was passed for Timmins Htizen‘s Band, being part of the estiâ€" nated grant for the year. Bicycle Licenses Now Being Issued at Police Office A number of changes and additions in street lighting were authorized to be made by the Hydro Electric. bills without bothering to read or study the receipt. He was not very clear either as to why he had left the matter so long before bringing it to the attention of council. All the usual formalitiss had been obssrved in reâ€" gard to the tax sale and strictly speaking the council was not called on for any action in the matter. Howâ€" ever, it was decided to have a conâ€" ference between the town solicitor, Councillor Terry and Mr, Kalynuik to see if anything can be done in the matter. Th: amount of taxes conâ€" cerned was a small sum. The purchase of fireworks for the Vâ€"E Day celebration was authorized it a cost not to exceed $200. On the recommendation of Chief of Police L. Gagnon four taxi driver licenses; were revoked. The Canadian National Institute for he Blind was granted a tobacco icense for the stand at the corner of Third avenue and Balsam street.

The equipment for the clinic was assembled by the following men from the Hollinger staffâ€"W. Nankervis, J. R. Hal‘, G. Mondoux, D. A. Moore, J. O. Stewart, J. â€" Cauley, R. King, A. Jackson, J.

Blood Donor â€"Clinic The Porcupine Blood: Donor.;Clini¢c held Sunday and Monday mornings in the +«Masonic Hall, failed, to.mecet . the monthly quota of donations is was due to the fact ‘that an ‘insufficient number of dopnors came out this time. This is regretable when the plasma is so badly needed for the casyalties inâ€" curred by the heavy fighting‘ taking place at this time. . The Local Red Cross and ‘the. Blood: Donor Committee are very disappointâ€" ed at the fact that the Blood Donor Clinic hers this week failed to make its quota. This was due to the fact that enough NEW blood donors did not come forward. Timmins and distâ€" rict have done remarkably well in this BRlood Donor work, just as they have played their part in every other patriotic effort. So many of thoss who have been giving blood donations have contributed so often that it is now essential tha% they have a rest. This means that NEW blood donors are essential. It would be deplorable if at this late date this district should fall down in this matter. It is the fact that blood plasma is essential; at the present time. Indeed the nged is if anything greater than ever before, All who are in position to know are agreed on this fact. The Red Cross can be depended upon to let the public know when the need for blood plasma is time has not. .yet arrived. The fact is that with "the present fighting on all fronts and the: call from the freed lands the need is greater than ever. In recent weeks emphasis has been placed on this increased need and the fact that the blood donors who have done so much i n the past positively now must have a long rest, that it is apparent that the only way the diffiâ€" culty can be overcome is by new donâ€" ors coming forward. There are lots of these available if they will only give in their names. Anyons who can help in this regard should leave their names at any 0§ the banks or at the fire hall or with any of the Red Cross officials. Those who have already givâ€" en their names but have not yet reâ€" sponded to the calls for blood donaâ€": tions can be as valuable as new donâ€" ors. It will need the support of all to avoid having the next clinic fail to meet its quota. ; â€" Only 179 Donaflms;r«'flhoum ,Needs fimb Blood: Donations is Urgent.. <More: blsolutely Essential to Keep Up: theâ€"Quotav Hmm «New«Donors Urged to Help, as PremouflonmenSbHazve: Rest.
