The new council although not officially sworn in‘ sat around the council chamber table and selected the various chairâ€" men for the various committees. Battler Bartlieman Calls Technical Foul Round 1 Of 1949 Council Prelim. The Mayor said that he would leave it to the council‘s discretion to select the committee chairmen .and. viceâ€" chairmen and the day and hour of council meeting. At the Thursday meeting the counâ€" cil decided that Wedneésday would be a good day for council to meet and, as most: of the men worked during the day, instead of the usual 4.30 p.m. meeting they would change the time to 7.30 p.m. in order that more interâ€" ested parties could get out to â€" the council meetings. ~_â€""The council was doublecrossed," said Mr. Bartleman, and sat down. The matter of dress was broached. It was felt that many of the counâ€" cillors could better do their jobs after they had gone home to supper and relaxed a bit after work. Too, it was thought that many of the miners would come out to council meetings if they had a chance to change their clothes before going down to hear how ‘the town‘s affairs were being run. The day and the time were decided upon without much trouble until the Mayor Promises Bigger Better Things For 1949 Mayor Karl Eyre in his inaugural address during the inauguration cerâ€" emonies in the Town Hall last Monâ€" day afternoon said that he would strive with even greater effort on beâ€" half of the town in 1949, ~‘Members of the clergy representing the various religious faiths in Timâ€" mins were present at the inauguration and the dinner which followed at the Goldfields Hotel. The mayor‘s address covered the work of the council for the year‘t and outlined the work of the various commitiees which had been elected. The address was as follows. Ladies, Reverend Gentlemen, Memâ€" bersof the 1949 Council, Fellow Citizens: I wish to thank you sincerely on behalf of the Council â€"and mys>lf for honouring us by being present at our Inauguration this afternoon. I feel particularly honoured on this occasion, in. that Citizens have seen fit to accord me an acclamation for my second term as Mayor of the Town of Timmins. Together with the ‘other Council I strove to remnder good service to my fellow citizens last year, and I take it as a challenge to even greater efforts in 1949 in that you have shown appreciation of our efforts for 1948. Having now had one year‘s experâ€" ience as Mayor of the Town of Tim« mins I feel that I am better qualified to handle the serious problams which it seems likely that we will be faced with in the new year that lies ahead. I have known every meniber of the present Council for several years. Four of them served with me last year. <In addition there is now one new memâ€" ber serving for the first time. who has wide business experience, and anâ€" other is a veteran in Municipa!

The resâ€" ilution making the day and date Monâ€" day at 4.30 p.m. was carried with the Mayot casting the deciding vote. ‘ Formerly that is before Karl: Eyre ‘"became mayor the council meeting ‘was on Wednesday to enable both papers to print the news. We didn‘t particularly care whether or not this is done as we can always find plenty of news behind the news which comes from Town Hall. It gives us a few extra hours to digest it and realize what is being done. It was the idea of the council to balance up the day so that bothâ€"pAP=â€" ers would get a chance at the news | but it seems that one wishes to conâ€" tinue to have both feet in the trough. To make such a bold bid is not like \Karl Eyre unless he is being pushed. | We‘ll give him that much credit. What simmers Mr. Bartieman is the fact that the matter had been decided by the council without the mayor and then the mayor took such a steamâ€" roller attitude the â€" matter when it appeared in council. We believe with Mr. Bartleman that there was a switch along the line and it wasn‘t the mayor that put on the pressure. It isn‘t worth mentioning except that it is indicative of the manoeverâ€" ing that has been going on behind the scenes in this town for a long time:. Whether council likes it or not we feel that we should mention these matters to the public. Otherwise why should we bother putting out a paper week after week?
