THE HAILEYBURIAN For A Bigger And Better Haileybury Vol. 22, No. 23 Haileybury Prospector Murdered in Detroit Simcoe Green, an*old resident of Haileybury and the Nosth Country, met a tragic death in Detroit on Wednesday night last, when he was apparently murder- ed. He had gone to Windsor to Visit his brother, Frank, and had left the latter's home that morn- ing to visit Miss Alma McGregor, a former Haileybury girl with whom he was acquainted and with whose father he had been associated in mining. This was the last that he was seen alive, so far as is known. The late Mr. Green, so far as is known by friends here, went to southern points to interest capi- tal in mining claims which he held in partnership with other men here and in Cobalt and Silver Centre. This, it is thought, took him to the American city after visiting Toronto and Windsor and the call on Miss McGregor was incidental to the business visit. The late Mr. Green was fifty- eight years of age and unmarried. The Green family were well known residents of Haileybury in the early days, but he was the only one left in the North. All members of the family, with the exception of the brother, Frank, are dead, but there are many friends here who remember them and who were deeply shocked at the tragic fate which befell Mr. Green. So far as can be learned here, no trace of the slayer has been found. The funeral was held on Mon- day from the home of his broth- er in Windsor. Several former friends and acquaintances of the family, who have gone to the southern city to live, attended. . Mr: A. C. Washington, who has Deer; local represeutativ the Metropolitan Life Assurance Co. for the past couple of years, has been appointed assistant manag- er of the Company, covering this section of the Province. + oF INSPECTOR BLACKWALL HAS NO REPLY TO HIS LETER OF RESIGNATION Mr. W. S. Blackwall, who, some time ago tendered his resig- nation from the position of in- spector of law enforcemtnt to his chief, General Williams, commis- sioner of the provincial police, has had no reply to his letter and in the meantime he is carying on with the job. Just what action the commissioner intends to take he has no idea. - Mr. Blackwall has been engag- ed in law enforcement in this district for the past twenty-two years, first as license inspector and for the past few years as in- spector of law enforcement. His resignation was sent in following a differefice of opinion with Gen- eral Williams on a recent occa- sion. GOOD BUSINESS DONE BUT NO CROWDING WHEN LIQUOR STORE OPENED A fairly good business was done but there was no rush and no crowding, when the Haileybury liquor store opened for business on Friday last. According to F. L. Fleming, the manager, the business came regularly through- out the day and was easily hand- led in spite of the fact that the location of the store compels customers to go down a stairway and return with their supplies by the same route. Business hours are from 10 to 6 during the week and from 9 to 1 on Saturdays. Following the closing of the store all sales and all stock which has been unpack- ed must be checked over and a re- port of the day's business made out, and.this makes a fairly long day for those in charge. A great assortment of well known brands of liquor is kept in stock and there appears to be nothing to complain of in the government's efforts thy relieve@he thirst of the pedple is this 'part of the proviice except the long delay in getting the business in operation.

Haileybury' ~ HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1927 Subscription $1.50 per year Children Must be Kept Off Streets at Night In an endeavor to impress on the minds of both children and parents in Haileybury that there are strict laws governing the hours during which the kiddies are allowed to be on the streets,, either for business purposes or for play, Mr. J. R. McCracken, Inspector of the Chilren's: Aid Society of Temiskaming, has re- quested that we publish the fol- lowing clauses from the Ontario regulations. From these it will be seen that the police and proba- tion officers have the power to take action to enforce any pro- visions of the act, and that» both parents and children are liable to punishment for infractions of the law. The whole system of regulations has been framed for the general welfare and all should be careful to live up to the law. Only harm can come to the child who is allowed to frequent places without proper supervision and | it is hoped that the children of Haileybury, who have a good rep- utation=now, will endeavor to kéep on the right side of the laws in the future and avoid any tro- uble. The following are the clauses of the act which apply: 1. No girl under sixteen years of age and no boy under twelve years of age shall engage in any street trade or occupation. 2. No boy under sixteen years of age shall engage in any street trade or occupation between the hours of ten o'clock in the fore- noon and six 'o'clock in the after- noon and six o'clock in the fore- noon of the following day. Children Out at Nights No child shall loiter in any pub- lic place after nine o'clock in the evening or be in-any place of public resort, or entertainment, after, that ye unjess aqcompan ied by his pdrent or guardian orf an adult appointed by the parent or guardian to accompany such child. A child found violating the pro- visions of subsection I may be warned by any constable-or pro- bation officer or officer of a child- ren's Aid Society, and if such warning is not regarded, or after such warning the child is again found disobeying the provisions of this section, such child may be taken by the constable or officer to his home or to the Children's Shelter. A parent who permits his child to violate this section shall for the first offence incur a penalty of $1 without costs, and for the second offence $2, and for a third or any subsequent offence $5. er GARBAGE COLLECTOR's FEE BRINGS COMPLAINT BEFORE TOWN COUNCIL Declaring that he 'considered $36 an hour too much to pay the scavenger, and that he didn't be- lieve .John D. Rockefeller made that much," J. Moore appeared before the town council on Tues- day night to register a complaint to the effect that the garbage col- lector had wanted to charge him $6 for destroying the carcass of a cow that had "walked to her death chamber". The animal had ben stricken with an incurable disease, the nature of which was not divulged, and the owner had driven her to the dump, where she had been killed and left to be cremated. This had been done under the direction of the gar- bage man himself, who had even pointed out the spot on which the burning was to be done. A reference to the by-law cov- ering the disposal of garbage | proved that an allowance of ° $3 was made for the removal and destruction of dead cows or horses, with an amendment to the effect that $6 might be charg- ed. It was further learned that in cases where the owner remoy- ed the carcass, only half the fee was to be allowed for the crema- tion. This appeared to cover the case thoroughly, and Mr. Moore went away with the intention of tendering the $3 and no more for the job. The final settlement will have to be made between the parties, possibly with the assist- ance of the chief of police Town to Pay Bill For * Repairing German Gun A petition for a-sewer at the upper end of Probyn Street was among the first matters that came before the town council at the regular meeting on Tuesday night. This was presented by J. A. Labine and was signed by five residents on the street. There was some doubt as to the possi- bility of getting a satisfactory outlet and the matter was refer- red to the town engineer for a report. Mr. Geo. T. Smith made an ap- peal to the council for a grant to the Red Cross Hospital and, af- ter some discussion it was left over for future consideration. James Reavell, on behalf of the Canadian Legion, told the council that that body had received a bill for $30.50 for repairing the wheels-of one of the German guns, which have recently been placed on the Memorial ground. He stated that the Legion had not ordered the work done, but that it had been ordered by two of the veterans. In view of the fact that the guns were town property, he thought the town should pay the. account. Some of the councillors were « inclined to question the wisdom: of allow- ing too many people to run up bills for the town to pay, but all acknowledged that the placing of the guns on the plot had been a great improvement and the ac- count was passed. N. Morrisette asked permis- sion to build a frame warehouse on the south side of Amwell St., in the restricted area. It was to be used for storing diamond drill machinery, he said, and would be built if a proposition which he was working on went through. As an alternative, he asked if the cil would sell him a portion cBerardy Ave. which lies alobe- sifie the T. ce N. O. to the' nosth Amwell St. It was decided {lat he would be given a permit for the building when he was ready to proceed with the work and a committee of the council agreed to look over the other proposition and if it would not affect adjoining properties, a deal could be made. An account from J. H. Brown for $25 for work done on "the HYDRO POWER REPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE SOME TIME NEXT WE 5 . 1 The report of the engineer who: made the investigation into the| power and light rates here lasti spring, at the request of the; councils of the towns of Cobalt,' Haileybury, New Liskeard and Englehart, will be available to the | towns concerned some time next| week, according to information| received from the engineer, Mr. | D. T. Flannery. In an interview | last Thursday, Mr. Flannery stat-| ed that his report was almost} complete, but it had to be sub- mitted to the Commission before being presented to the towns. This, he thought, would make it available to the towns in about two weeks from that time. The Haileybury council has requested | that the report be submitted as soon as possible. PREMIER FERGUSON IS THE GUEST OF HONOR AT BIRTHDAY OF T. & N. O. Premier Ferguson was guest of honor when the T. & N. O. Railway celebrated its twenty- fifth birthday at North Bays on Monday. The celebration inclua- ed the presentation to the city of North Bay of a 13-acre park in the east end and a hig banquet in the evening at which Premier Ferguson gave a great address on the development of the North Country, 'past, present and to come. Mrs. Ferguson, who accompan- ied the Prime Minister, was en- tertained at a luncheon tendered to the ladies by the T. & N. O. Commission. This was presided over by Mrs. Geo. W. Lee and there were about 150 present. Mrs. Ferguson, who has consid- erable knowledge of the North, spoke at-the luncheon. Tlye fire brigade had a long run on fiuesday evening about 7 o'- clock when an old streef-car in the extreme south end _of the town caught fire. The car was unoc- cupied and, as it was well beyond the water lines, was completely burned. The origin of the blaze is unknown. 'Motor Crash Victim EK Passes in Hospital William Bousu, aged 18, of Co- balt, died in the Englehart Red Cross Hospital on Friday ~ night from injuries received in a motor accident which took place on the evening of Labor Day near Charl- ton. With four companions, two boys and two girls, he was re- turning home from spending the holiday at Kirkland ake when the car, driven by William Luk- kinen, got out of control while descending a steep hill, left the road and rolléd 50 feet down a rocky bank to the Blanche Riyer. His skull was fractured and fis brain lascerated, according to Dr. | Mitchell, of Cobalt, who attended him and the other member of the party, Miss Olga Rosenblund, who was also badly injured. The latter is still in the hospital with a fractured skull and, although she is in a critical condition, it is thought she will recover. The others escaped uninjured with the exception of Richard Bousu, a brother of the deceased, and he only slightly. The victim of the accident re- mained unconscious until he died. His body was brought to the un- dertaking establishment of Thorpe & Branchaud here on |Saturday and the funeral was |held on Sunday afternoon at Co- balt.. There was no inquest held, the authorities after investigat- ing being convinced that the fata- lity was of a purely accidental nature. Given Matriculation Standing As Result of an Appeal Grant Gibson has been notified by the Education Department that, as a result of an appeal, he has been granted full Pass Mat- riculation standing. This in- | creases the number from the lo- jcal High School who completed ; Matric i this stimmer-to fourteen. a lation The: New Liskeard Fall Fair will be held next week, commenc- jing Wednesday and ending Satur- day at the Beach. Memorial ground was passed. It was stated that Mr. Brown had undertaken the work for that a- mount, planning to'furnish $25 worth of plants and do the set- ting out without pay. Before he had completed the work, the vet- erans had raised some money, the mayor said, and engageed R. Whorley to put the plot into shape for Dominion Day. It was stated that the veterans would assume full charge of the plot for the future. It was reported that complaints had been made of the conduct of what was described as an unde- sirable family in town, but there was nothing on which to base an action. The chief of police said that both he and the inspector of the Children's Aid Society had the family under observation and were doing their best to improve matters. Mayor Hamilton and Councillor Branchaud, during their trip to the city with the Crusaders, had learned of a new system of build- ing roads which they were con- vineced would be suitable for Hai-l eybury. The estimated cost of putting down a main_ road through town was $30,000, and further information is to be gath- ered for the guidance of next year's council. It was decided to ask the Hydro-Electric Commis- sion for a report of the investiga- tion made last spring into the power rates here, as the council felt that it was time something was done. It was decided that some im- provement should be made at the foot of Florence Street, where the water coming down the hill damages the Lake Shore Road. A larger culvert was suggested to run under the roadway and the Nipissing Central tracks to carry off the surplus water into the lake and the streets committee will take the matter in hand.
