_EDITORIAL c The young people in Kirkland Lake hed approached the owner of an unused theatre and received permission for its use. They had put in level flooring, a canteen and facilities for indoor 1ecxeation, including games and music. e The Kirkland Lake iproject has previcusly been commented on in these eclumns, with the suggestion that what was possible in Kirklend: Lake should be possible in Timmins. It is also a matter‘ of interest to people interested in the future activities of the Timâ€" mins Yoyuth Welfare ‘Council, a group which, as we understand it, has much the same purpose as the group in Kirkland Lakeâ€"to provide ‘ program of recreational activitiee which will give the youth of Timmins something to c«o, somewhele to go, in the quest for sane and healthful pleasure. The publicity was in the form of a story concerning the activities of the Kirkland Lake young peopic. It toid in type and in pictures of how the KLY club of tnat town had banded together and, with support from one of the serviceâ€"clubs, found something to do and somewinere to go beside roaming the streets at night. PDuring the coming week ain appeal is being made in the Porcuâ€" pine Camp, as it is across Canada, for financial support to enable the Salvation Army to carry on its program for the coming year. Those whoâ€"maintain that the need for increasing taxes came as result of the actions of mayor and council will have to find supâ€" port for their opinions in the estimates of expenditures compiled at the beginning of this year and other years, They must seek to find wherein the council was extreivagant, what expenditures could have been cut down or done away with. They must try to learn the reasons behind any increase in expenditures, and determine whether or not these increases were justified. Kirkland Lake got publicity this week, and favorable publicity it was, in the Globe Mail, a newspaper pv'blished in Tmonbo, town in southern Ontario. 364 be No bitter advice, no more necded advice, could be given. If it is followed out, the newly formed ratepayers‘ association can make If you are in doubt as to ‘the extent the Salvation Army merits your support,â€"we suggest you get in touch with some exâ€"serviceman of your ecquaintance and ask his opinion. Add to this the fact that the money you give to the Salvation Army is redistributed where it will do the most good,‘and is distributed with less deducâ€" tions for ‘"expenses" and with less administrative cost than is the case with any comparable organization. To the group who feel that the Timmins tax rate is to be blamed on the legislation covering mining taxation, we would reâ€" commend a careful reading of the brief recently presented to the Ontario premier by a delegation representing the northern mining municipalities, and headed by Mayor J. E. Brunette. This brief, to our mind, appears to be well prepared, and presents a completely logiczl argument why the municipalities should receive a greater proportion of the tax upon mining properties than they receive at present, ~.The above comment is simply a more invoived way of saying what the Editor of The Daily Press said at the ratepa‘yers‘ meeting last night, when he advised those attending to get the factsâ€"before they voiced opinions. a real contribution to the solution of the problems now facing the town. If that advice is ignored, the asscciation‘s future efforts will create only greater coufusion in the minds of the, rateâ€" paying public. _ _ _It is unfortunate that, to the people who are unable to contriâ€" bute, the work of the Salveition Army is not so well known. You have to be among the more unfcrtunate to really appreciate‘ what the Salvation Army means. People who find themselves in an "Old Folks Home," “Childi‘ens Home," or down on their luck in a strange town, or standing helplessly alone in a police court, learn the worth of this splendid organization. opinions which merit the attention of @nyone who seeks to vote However, they will find the estimate of expenditures for 1946 available at the town hall, glso the estimates for previous years. These offer material for study to those genuinely interested in municipal affairs. On top of this, there is the Mayor‘s expressed willingness to discuss the town problems with any person or any group. And they have now, as they always had the opportunity to attend council meetings. in tax revenue from the mining property than did other towns, with ot:.icr types of industries. We mention these two varying cpinions because we believe they cover questions upon which every voter must make up his mind beâ€" fore he casts his ballot in the next municipal election.

The other group presented the view that the present taxk rate was the result of a condition wherein the town failed to get its fair share of industrial taxes, stressing the point that Timmins got less Those who maintain that the need for raising the tax came as ance of their council at the time of setting up the estimaies for the year. Regardless of what argument might ha‘ve been carried on in the council, acting as a committee to determine the tax rate, there was no discussion at all in the public meeting at which council voted for the present figure. The brief is available to the interested public. The legislation covering mining properties is also a matter of public record. Mr. Wim.
