If the ‘Ontario government paid heed to this argument ‘ta%ation in the entire province would have to be revised, for the Porcupine is not the only district In which people live in one municipality and work elsewhere. For example, the densely populated cotinty of East York which adjoins Toronto is almost 100 percefit residential. All of its residents work in Toronto. If Timmins were to be granted tax revenue from the ‘mines of the district why shouldn‘t East York be granted tax reventie from the industries of Toronto? However, the report which Councillor Philip Fay underâ€" took to prepare a month ago concerning the adequacy of fire insurance on town property still remains to be presented to ; council, Town property s not so extensive that a delay of this nature is necessary: it is also as woefully apparent as the nose on anyone‘s face that the town‘s prideâ€"â€"â€"the Municipal Buildingâ€"â€"is underâ€"insured at the figure of $114:000, patrticâ€" ularly when insurance is carried on an 80 percent coâ€"insutrâ€" ‘ance basis. * However, there is considerable evidence to substantiate the claims of the mining man interviewed by the Advance. Du’béemm eviience that the iron bodies are a factor in the sitnation is the current furore being raised by Premiér Duâ€" plessis of Q@iebec to have Labardor made a part of Quebec, or if v?;!saean't be done, to haVe the Quebecâ€"Labrador boundary revise â€" It is to be ‘hoped that the Municipal Building does not burn down before Councilior Fay tables his report.to council .nd action is taken to properly protect the town‘s finest picce Oof property | in Labrador _ Whether or not the Advance editorial had anything to do with the matter cannot be ascertained, but in any event town council came to life this week as though someone had placed ‘bombs under their chairs. They swept through a lengthy agenda with speed and efficiency; more business was ‘accomplshed at Mondays meeting than at all. othe1 council meéetings of the year to date combined. And the Advance beâ€" lieves that council acted wisely and well in its decisions at the meeting. 4 The Advance is not prepared to support categorically the claim of a mining man interviewed last week who said that the iron ore bodies uncovered by the interâ€" ests in Labrador are the prime reason for the present agitaâ€" tion for the union of Newfoundland and Canada. ‘This man‘s caims were printed as an interesting sidelight on the fact that the same Timmins family which was the greatest single factor responsible for the dAevelopmient of this district is also in the torer}'ont of the Labrador development veltve e c L ie e m We o :o ue BA L c N : Je stt on oo Ne Pn t 2t t 1. n d ie t 1i +( n es 1 t s ) wp iB o 1 sc o 4 ifi ) | ____ Thus the problem is séen to have provinceâ€"wide scope. The way to get more provincial tax revenue for Timmins is to increase production at Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mine and to increase the profits of the mine. This can be done unâ€" der the new subsidy plan and ‘the Advance believes it will be done. f . Last week the Advance took the Timmins town council to task for the dilatory manner in which town fathers dealt with town business and for the ay items on the agenda were being deferred from week to week, Then too, the tax income figtires set for this idstrict are minimum ones. If mine profits Were to be cut in hnalf durfig the comihg years, Timniins, Tisdale and Whitney would still obtain from the province the Hmounts which nave been agreed to. On the other hand should mine profits increaseâ€"â€" ghd Wwith.the new subsidy on gold there is an excellent prosâ€" pect that they willâ€"â€"the district municipalities will reap the benefit of additional income, for the ralsing of the mill rate to. 30. mills for Timmins and 20 mills for Whtney and Tisdale will engable the local governments to ‘cash in on additional! profits. | w ut lefst is offtred in the agrecâ€" BA betWeen province of Ontaric and the iing municipflities concerning the m‘ne profits le the portion of tax which this district will obâ€" um is eomi erably than what it was during the early: days of wa eve eless the agreement specifies that the amounts ‘agt _.,fi : A ‘Imniniflumâ€" during the next f‘ive years.

He was a cdward, a in regard to the dictates ‘of his ‘own conscience. Here is the crux of his tragic state. His conscience was not completely ‘dead when‘ John ‘the Baptist made his fearless "denunciation ~of the ‘illicit relations ‘dbf Herod ‘and Herodias. He had recognized in <John "a just and holy ma‘n;‘"‘ "He was greatly exerâ€" cized when he listened to him, still he was ‘glad to listen to him." So he protected John, we areâ€"told.

M. Greer came the closest, having a total of nine years, while W. Parcher, W. McCord, Ed Moire and Syd Craik were around the nineâ€"year class. Record for "Short" Servicte There are a number of records of brief service on the Timmins police foree. W. Rich has held the honour of bricfest tenure of office as chief, his term being four months. An earlâ€" ier chief, John Clark, was a close secâ€" ond, with a sixâ€"month term of office. Third comes former Chief Leo Gagâ€" non, on the force for eleven years and seven months, while his deputy, J. P. Downey, served eleven years and four months. Three members of the present force, Officers Wm. Thompson, Ernest Gagâ€" non and Roland Munroe, have each served ten years and eleven months on the force. When Jos. G. Gariepy left here in 1946, he lacked a few months of ten years service‘ on the fource. Next to Chief Lepic, in point of length of service, is Inspector Geo. A,. Archambault, with another creditâ€" able record of twelve years and sevâ€" en months. that â€"the ‘FTimmins. police have. won much more than local fame for the records that they have kept of people‘ in whom they took interest. ‘These records include fingerprints and phoâ€" tographs, other particulars that would ‘Only appeal to police, tax departments énll ‘other dlctorially'-minded groups. KecorUs for Long Service . Of course, the public has neither facilities, nor dispostion, for acquiring photographq or fingerprints of police, but there are facts and fancies known about the police that may be said to suggest a regular record.

It should always be remembered that it is the privilege of any and all to plead "not guilty‘ and to refuse to talk, even to their own lawyer. Records for Long Service The record for long service on Timâ€" mins police force goes to the ‘present head of the department, Chief Albert Lepic, who joined the force in March, 1935, and so has thirteen years of service to his creditâ€"and the sion, "to his credit," is used advisedly, as his work has won for him a repuâ€" tation for honesty and ability. _The Dominion government‘s action in failing to renew the passport of Harlo®w Wildman, international representative of the mine union, places the spotlight once more on the Comâ€" mun‘st tharacter of: the topâ€"level men ‘conrtolling the union. The Red leanings of Mr. Wildman and other international orâ€" ganizers here are no secret; they were as "Red natâ€" chetmen" and "stooges of Moscow" by. members of their own pnion during the recent election campaign of Local 243. .
