That means that all costs are tigured from the centre of the street 01' lane, regardless of where the main may be. This is done with the purpose of not entailing, hardship on the people of I one side or another of a street just because it had been found expedient to put down the main at a particular place in the roadway. In the six husi- t ness blocks the sewer mains are in the 1 lanes and connections will be made I from these lanes, the length from the 1 centre of the lane in each case being t counted as six feet, and oharged for I at the rate of $3.40 per lineal toot. It l is likely that practically all the busi- 1 ness places in the six business blocks l speeihed will have the house sewer l connections made this year. Many also' i in the "dry" area will also embrace i the opportunity. In such area, each 3 connection will have 33 feet from the centre of the street to pay for and any further length on the property, the rate per lineal foot for the work being $2.35.’ In the "wet" area' there will also no doubt be many applie- ations though not so many as in the other two areas. The cost of the work in the “wet" area will be $3.45 per lineal foot. The following, is the "wet" area as detineMb.v the Coun- cil's plan:---'"" Avenue, from Elm . to Maple; Maple street, from Sixth _ to Fourth Avenue, exclusive of' rock , excavation; Birch street, Fourth to v, Third Avenue; 'Fourth Avenue, Maple 5 to Balsam", 'Maple street, Fourth to . Third Avenue. The lanes have a sep- 1 arate rating as noted, and the rest of the town, exclusive of any rock exca- " cation, comes under the "dry" rate.) - In wet trenches where waterproof E joints are necessary a charge of 10 b' cents extra per joint will be made. In a view of the plan under which the - Town is doing the work it is necess- 1 ary to enforce the regulation that y cash in full to cover the cost of the v work shall accompany eaeh applica- e tion. Without this provision the town a would be unable to finance the matter ;- at the present moment. The award- d ing of the" contract for all the house d sewer connections to Mr. (luscioli [. assures uniformity of'work, speedy n completion of construction, eeonomie- s al handling and the best kind of work.

FIRE HALL BEING MUCH IMPROVED IN APPEARANCE The addition to the tire hall for the tweomurodation of the extra equip- ment purchased some months ago is now completed, and adds to the ap- pearanee of the headquarters of the tire-h'y:hting force. The doors of the new part are equipped with small win dows along the upper part and this feature not only adds to the appear- ance of the building but it also y:reat- ly improves the lighting facilities in- side. Tire doors ot' the hall proper are also to he finished above with glass in the same way, and this will make a decided improvement in thel A'ront of the building: as well as add-' ing to its utility inside. The new ee- ment sidewalk in front of the fire hall, being of a ditferent level to the form- er pLatform,sthe latter is being: re- placed by a solid concrete driveway lirom the hall doors to the walk. Al- together, the (ire hall is going to be much better from the standpoint of convenience, ete., as well as from the viewpoint of appearance, when these improvements are all completed.

DRIVING THE BEARS FROM THE PORCUPINE MINES An incident oeeurring at the Pay-l master Mine recently has been caus- ing some amusement to folks in gener- al, and some interest to those supers- titiously inclined. A mother bear and two cubs came off the Dome and West Dome properties onto the Paynutster. As soon as the Dome was rid of the "bears," the Dome stock began to gay up, running from $18.50 to $23.00. ‘Then the mother bear and the two cubs on the Paymaster were shot, the man doing the trick saying, "'We don't need to shoot the bull about this property, but we've got to get rid of the bears to save our bacon.” After the bears were gotten off the Paymas- ter some specially pleasing: h'nds were made. Now, the President, Mr. A. S. Fuller, says that though he is not su- perstitions nor a believer in signs and omens, still-well anyway, he says, he never had any use for the "bears:'" that tried to raid the mining camp; FORMER PORCUPINE MAN PASSED AWAY IN TORONTO James was the v1etutt or an unIortu- nate accident. It appears that Mrs. James purchased a. mixture eontain- ing corrosive sublimute from a local drugstore in Toronto, intending to use the fluid in honsecleaning work. "Phe bottle was labelled "poison.'" Mrs. James set the battle down in the hallway and went to get some gasoline to mix with the sublimate. While she was away Mr. James came along and picked up the bottle thinking it con- 1tained ginger ale. Before he noticed his mistake or saw the label on the bottle he had taken a heavy drink of the fluid. Mrs. James returned.to find her husband in agony. Doctors were hastily summoned and every possible means taken to relieve and save the unfortunate man. Despite all that at- tention and medical skill could do, however, he died on Saturday, Sept. 17th. . . r, Toronto. He was a member of the Masonic and Oddfellows Lodges. A widow, two brothers in the Poreupine, and a sister living in Toronto, are among the near relatives mourning his sad death.

The mid alum the tiamlrelli residence was made by special otlicers from the Toronto Department. The North Bay police were not apparently "let in" on the. mid. Instead the fire alarm was used to cull out the fire brigade and the firemen responding were sworn in as special constables to as- sist in the work of the. raid. There was a vast quantity of liquor seized,, the value being estimated at about $11,000.00 in the regular way of buy- ing. When Sandrelli was charged with breaches of the O.T.A. he secured the services of Hurtly Dewart, M.P.P.,as his counsel, to fight the eases. The his counsel, to fight the eases. The Crown, sent. up Mr, Gordon Waldrtprt from Toronto to conduct the prosecu~ tion. All the'Provineial police in the North with one exception were taken to North Bay to guard the $11,000.00 worth of liquor. Magistrate Atkiu- son was sent to North Bay by the De- partment to conduct the triads. After mljourmnents, ete., the trial, of Sandrelli occluded several days and an immense amount of.. evidence was taken. The Crown's ease rested large- ly upon the evidence of special agents, commonly known as "spotters," while the defence was a general de- nial, with an alibi to the effect that Samlrelli was in Toronto on the days he was accused of selling liquor. Ho... tel register was produced to verify this alihi as well as several witnesses who had seen Sandreili in Toronto on the days mentioned. The Crown made a special point of the vast amount of liquor kept by Sandrelli, but in reply to this it was pointed out that lie was a raeing man with hosts of friends and noted for his generous hospitali- ty. The evidence was so eontradie- tory that 'Magistrate Atkinson mv. marked that one side or the other must be committing perjury. A man from Timmius who heard part. of the trial says that if you asked him he would say it might be on both sides. The distinguished counsel for the. de- fense had a number of fiery word com bats. with the distinguished counsel for the prosecution. They displayed as much bad temper on occasion as the most undistinguislred counsel might be expected to glrow. They were kept well within bounds, however, by the Magistrate, and they were in no doubt on either side as to the eapabil- ity of Magistrate Atkinson to conduct the murt with the maximum of de- comm and eifieieney. After hearing the mass of evidence in the case, Magistrate Atkinson'an- nonnced that he would'not give his judgment in the matter until the evid- em-e had been' transcribed and thp- roughly weighed, He will transmit. his tinding to Magistrate Weegar of North Bay in about three weeks. San- drelli's bait of $2,000.00 was renewed, and the liquor is still being guarded in the meantime.
