His impromptu_ address stirred great interest and suggested to some present the idea that Timmins should also have a similarly qualified dental expert on the permanent staff of the lacol health unit. When the direct question in this regard was 4 made to Dr. Honey, his reply was to the effect that it was only a matter of asking and being ready to bear the: cost, the latter being really a good inâ€" vestment. ~Turning to refer to his present work in Welland district, Dr. Honey mentioned that in the years he spent in dental work in Timmins, he felt that he and his fellow dentists were getting nowhere.

What about the assessment on the west end of, the town that comes up this year. _ Instead of some Oof the business buildings being assessed $40, 000.00 as they are now they will be raised to $200,000.00 according to last years assessment. _ T‘ll warn you that the Town will be flooded with com- plaints. The situation is What went wrong with the byâ€"law? Someone must know something about it. Gentleâ€" men Iâ€" submitted a resolution to the ccuncil." a bear and got a squirrel. â€" ‘ In other words they got the big fellow all right, who can afford to pay the taxes, but can the little fellow who has been caught in the net . afford to pay the taxes on his property. DelVillano, "I do not want. to argue with the councillors or about the byâ€" law, all thatâ€"I â€"_want sto reotify this mistake. We ‘do not need a roâ€" tary byâ€"law for this town. I‘ve learnâ€" ed. that it is only suitable for ‘very large centres such as Toornto. â€" All we need â€"to do is make good ffor our mistake." DelVillano, "I know it was not said at the council mesting. It is the small jJand holder I‘m thinking of at the present time. We‘ve made a misâ€" lake, lets rectify it now." Bartleman, "what happened to the councilâ€" was that they took a shot at Bailey, ‘"my recollection of the byâ€" law and the preparations for the diviâ€" sion of the town was that a map was brought out and explained to the council. . How the division took place I do not know.‘" DelVillanc, "the 1948 council has made a mistake and we should all pitch in and do something about it. The way I understood it was that we were going after the big land owners." Fay, "I think your statement is unâ€" fair. It was not ‘suggested in the council meeting to attack the large land owners." * Mr. Fay, "I made a reply to the press when they called, and have heard nothing of this \thing. The map was brought to the council meetâ€" ing and explained what was to be done and I was satisfied with the plan. _ But it did not work out that way."‘ The statement to which Mr. Bartleâ€" man refers was made in the Daily Press. In a statement made to the Advance, Leo DelVillano said, how it began with me, was the mayor callâ€" ed me into his office regarding the roâ€" tary byâ€"law and he stated to me at that time, here is. our chance to get hold of the big land owners who have been getting away with low taxes for years." "I‘m sorry," he said, "that all the eccuncil is not present to hear this matter. . What is going to be done about the assessment business? There should be an apportunity for the counâ€" cillors to express themselves in public. The thing is a mystery to me and I cannot find out what it is all about. A councillor has made a statement to the papers and the Mayor has made a reâ€" ply to the charges." The matter of the present assessâ€" ment and the statements issued since the Ontario Municipal Board hearing last week in the Town Hall on the same assessment was brought before the council by Mr. Bartleman.
