The HAILEYBURIAN| Issued every Thursday from the Haileyburian Office, Broadway Street, Haileybury Published in the Interests. of the Town of Haileybury and, District of Temiskaming SUBSCRIPTION RATES: {n Canada--$1.50 per year in advance {a United States--$2.00 per year in advance LEISHMAN % SUTHERLAND, PUBLISHERS THURS., SEPTEMBER: 6, 1928 THE PAVING By-Laws While there appeared to be little opposition to the proposed paving of the upper end of Main Street, outside of that offered by Mayor Pipe, there has recently been more sentiment expressed than was the case when the question first came up. One finds that there are many people who have the idea that the cost is likely to prove more of a burden on the town than appears on the surface. Perhaps the argument most frequently met with is the suggestion that this section of paving, being off the main 'high- way on which the government is paying one half the cost, should be done at least partly on the local improvement plan. While this might Have been a perfectly good argument had it come up before any paving was done, it hardly seems fair to pro- pose it now that the greater part of the program is completed and none of the cost assessed against the property owners on other streets, who have undoubtedly benefitted to the same extent that the residents of Main Street will if the by-law carries. As to the financial situation of the town and the extra burden that will be imposed by the add- ed debt of $3,800, everyone who pays taxes can judge for himself, The sum of $331.30 required year- ly to cover the payments appears small when distributed over the total assessment, but it will-mean reduction to that extent in some other expenditure and the mayor is perfectly correct when he says that there are many other streets which are sadly in need of repair. The restriction placed on the tax rate by the government in 1922, when a proportion of the town's debenture debt was taken over cannot be overcome easily and must enter into all financial con- siderations. The direct benefit to the whole town by the laying of a perman- ent road to the station must be apparent to all. With the ex- ception of the main highway, the section in question is to the cas- ual observer the most travelled street in Haileybury and the con- necting up with the paved high- way would be a great improve- ment both in the looks and the convenience to the great major- ity of residents. In regard to the other by-law which will be voted on at the Same time, the expenditure has alreddy been made through a change in the form of paving de- cided on by the present council. The council last year had the assurance that the other form of paving, which could have been laid at considerably less cost, would be perfectly satisfactory, but the engineers engaged this year recommended the present form and the council decided on if. Just what will happen if the by-law should be defeated it is difficult to say, but perhaps that is a remote possibility. STILL ONE GREAT NEED Haileybury has long prided herself on being the most beau- tiful town in the North, and the improvements being made this year will make that claim more just than ever. It is a town of clean streets, beautiful homes, well built business blocks, on an ideal site, but there is still one great need of some kind that would provide employ- ment for the people who are al- ready, here and induce Others to come. Without these the town will not grow to any extent and the tendency will be for the peo- ple to drift away torother centres where employment can be! found and where there is more activity in all lines of endeavor. How to overcome this situa+ tion'is a difficult problem appar- ently. On various occasions ef- forts have béen made by Board of Trade, the Town Coun- cil and other bodies, but with lit- tle or no result. Perhaps these efforts have been directed along} > ger SS * moscow' Ss AGITATION 'IN: JAPAN Where did you come fro lines that are not likely to prove fruitful, but that they have béen sincere is beyond question. This year it was brought home the}. to the Board of Trade that if anything of a permanent nature in the way of industries was: es- tablished the initial movement | would have to come from within. In - other - words, . local people! would have to make the first moye before there would be a chance of interesting outside ca- pital. Some preliminary work! was done along these lines in re- gard to the enlatgement of one of our local industries, but noth- ing has been heard of the propo- sal of late. It was' thought that a start would be. made in this} would be worked, out to follow, with the result that some im- provement would be made along industrial lines. If there was any virtue in the proposition, it should have been carried out. If there is any other proposition that could be! made into an industry of real pro- jing way and that other propositions] - portions; it should be looked into. If there is any way-in which the industrial position of the town can be improved, an effort should be made. It appears as though ' a good, live industrial committee is one of the greatest needs at the present. Of what use are paved streets, up-to-date schools, splendid liv- conditions, which' we, un- doubtedly have, if we have no in- dustries to provide employment and to provide business for our merchants and others who depend on the local population.
