HE HAILEYBURI For A Bigger And Better Haileybury -- SE AN Vol. 24, No. 40 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10th, 1929 Subscription $1.50 per year Little Girl at Kirkland Fatally Injured by Dogs Seven-year-old Germaine La- fortune, whose parents reside at Kirkland Lake, was terribly mu- tilated and died after being wor- ried bytwo mongrel pups, within 200 yards of the house occupied jointly by her parents and the owners of the dogs, on Monday of this week. The little girl had been outside playing with the pups, 9 months old, and apparently had 'started back for the house when attack- ed by the animals. Her scalp was torn from her head, and her clothing strewn about the spot where the attack was made, but the child was still living when found by the owner of the dogs, as he was returning home from town at twilight. The man, Mr. Bougie, carried the little girl in- to the house, and medical aid was summoned. The tiny tot was beyond the help of medical skill, however, and passed away in a very short time. A thrill of horror ran across the town when the story was told here Tuesday evening, and parents who have been allowing their children to play around with out feeling alarm up to now, are making sure that they are super- vised in their outdoor activities, to guard against such an occur- rence taking place here. The young dogs had never pre- viously shown any signs of vic- iousness, and the sudden attack has not yet been satisfactorily explained, but it is a certainty that the animals will be destroy- ed immediately. It was stated yesterday that the Lafortune family were at one time residents of Haileybury, liv- ing in the south end of the town, , but efforts to veri! Announcement!

In every poll the mayor'is 625. Hamilton's majority was was given the heavy end of thejonly 104 against Charbonneau's vote and only in the south north was the vote at all close. In the extreme south end of the town Mr. Pipe came within 11 votes of his opponent, and in the north the majority was 30, while in the two central polls Mr. Charbonneau had his largest ma- jorities. The total vote is the second largest that has been cast in a mayoralty contest since the fire in 1922, and the majority for the mayor is the largest. Of the five members of the 1928 council who were in the running four were elected. They are Councillors Pickard, Graham, Fleming and Piche. The two new men are E. Simard and J. A. Mc- Kinnon, the latter being an old counciilor who has had some five years' experience and the former being new to municipal affairs. Incidentally Mr. Simard proved his popularity by running a good third on the list. Councillor W.

Legris and George Poppleton, when the former was elected by a majority of 25... The tatal vote polled was 435. -- Last year, when Taylor Pipe defeated Geo. 1. Hamilton, the majority was 2 in a total vote of 532. In 1924 G. F. Summers was given an acclamation as mayor and in 1927 the same was accorded to Geo. T. Hamilton. Added interest was lent to the contest this year by the fact that he two men had spli he former year beween them in the mayor's chair were striving for honors. Apparently the fact that Mr. Charbonneau had been on the council throughout the entire year, while Mr. Pipe had resign- ed from office, weighed with the electors. The campaign did not |stir up any strife or ill feeling, éverybody being content to do their part in their own way. Where were plenty of cars in use taking the-electors out -to vote and at least some of the candidates had scrutineers at the polls, which were kept open un- til six o'clock in order that there might be an opportunity for ev- eryone to exercise his or her franchise. This fact made the returns late in coming in, and the fact that there were the ad- ditional two ballots for the by- laws made the work of counting up slow. There was a_ good crowd out at the town office to hear the results and a little quiet celebrating was done later in the Pipes, cape 81 41 50 62--234 FOR COUNCIL Pickard ...... 152 70 103 32--357 Graham .... 156 71 85 30--342 Simandigesc a 58 62 123 84--327 McKinnon .. 104 67 70 44--285 evening. | | Britain's New Under-Secretary The Earl of Plymouth, who has been appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Do- minion Affairs in succession to Lord Lovat INSTALLATION OF THE OFFICERS OF REBEKAH LODGE ON TUESDAY Tuesday evening the installa- tion of officers-of Northern Light Rebekah Lodge, was held in the Oddfellows' Temple, Broadway Street, preceded by a_ chicken supper to which a large number of Rebekah Sisters and Brethren sat down at six o'clock.

Hospital and High School By-Laws Pass Majority for Both in Monday's Election; Rotary Club Lent Assistance The ratepayers of the town of Haileybury gave their assent to the two by-laws submitted at the municipal election on Monday, al- though in the case of the one providing for the addition to the technical department of the High School and the improvements to the old building, there was con- siderable opposition. The by-law providing for the grant of $5,000 to the Sisters of Merey in con- nection with the building of the new hospital was carried by a large majority. It was simply a repetition of one already carried when the Sisters of Providence proposed to rebuild a couple of years ago. The High School by-law was submitted at the instance of the Board when the council of 1928 declined to take the responsibili- ty of passing it without the con- sent of the ratepayers. - There was considerable work done in the compaign to make it go through, as it was feared that the extra debentures which will be necessary would bring the tax rate perilously near the limit of 54 mills set by the Ontario Gov- ernment for the town when the special act of 1923 provided for the province taking over a por- tion of the town's debenture debt as a fire relief measure. One of the mayoralty candi- dates, Taylor Pipe, in his state- ment to the electors, made it plain that he was not entirely confident that the proposed en- largement of the school would prove the benefit that it was ex- every poll there was a consider- able number of votes registered against the by-law. In the south end of town there was even an adverse vote, when thirty-four ballots were marked as against the project and only twenty-nine in its favor.
