The meeting was held for the purpose of continuing the inaugural ses- sion held the previous week, at which it was found impossible to complete the business-that rad accumulated during the interval between the last meeting of the 1929 council and the delayed elec- tion of the board for 1930. The regular monthly sessions will be held on the second Tuesday of each month, so that the- council will again assemble on Tuesday next, when it is expected that all arrears of business will be clean- ed up. At the meeting on Monday night, the by-law appointing the town employees for the year was given its second and third read- ings and passed. Only one change was made, the names of G. W. Perram and S. J. Mason being substituted for J. N. Pare and R. W. Douglas as auditors, when it was stated that the latter gent- lemen had informed the council that they could not act unless the work could be done at nights. A by-law arranging for bor- rowing power at the bank, by the mayor and treasurer, was en- acted and the December accounts passed. Fire Chief Marcella asked the The M.O.H. will be,consulted im the matter. .A_request for @ grant to the Canadian Red Cross to help with the deficit in operat- ing the local hospital last year was held over anda letter trom the Sisters of Mercy,,asking that the grant of $500 provided by by-law in connection with the new hospital be paid, was also left for future consideration af- iter its acknowledgment had been 'ordered. In response to a letter \from Mr. C. P. Furlong, treasur- ver of the Christmas Cheer Fund, the council decided to' grant $25 to help take care of a deficit of over $100 which the letter stated had been incurred. There was some discussion over a change that will be neces- sary in water mains supplying residents of Florence Street. The matter came upin the form ofa letter which liad been written by one resident on that street to another, stating that repairs were to be made which would necessi- tate cutting off the latter's sup- ply. This had been handed to the town clerk. It was stated that there were four or five houses being served from a one- inch line and that a new main would probably have to be put in, but it was not thought that any- thing would be done before the spring and that the council will be notified in plenty of time for jaction to be taken. | council if the brigade could count} on having the management of Haileybury Chapter the arena for another year. as they had already done consider- | building | able repairing on the and would take care of it during the summer if they were assured of having it another winter.

HAILEYBUR leat Minister Returns from' Coal Fileds; Says Coal to be Shipped Soon Mr. Thos. F. Sutherland, dep-; uty minister of mines of the province, passed through here on Sunday on his return to To- ronto from Blacksmith's Rapids, the scene of the lignite opera- tions, where he had been delayed owing to the outbreak of small- pox among the workmen there. He went north early in January, intending to stay only a couple of weeks, but the quarantine held him there much longer than he had expected and he did not stop off on his return trip. The quar- antine has now been removed and traffic in and out of the local- ity has been resumed. Mr. Sutherland had little to say in regard to the operations now being carried on. It had been expected that trial ~ ship- ments_of the lignite would be made early this month, but the unforeseen delays had made this impossible. It would be the mid- dle of the month before any shipments could be made, he said. Progress at the workings is quite satisfactory, according to the deputy minister. The shaft be- ing sunk had reached a depth of 21 feet when he left the property and machinery had now been in- stalled which would speed it up considerably. There were six cases of small- pox among the men at Black- smith's Rapids, according to Mr. Sutherland, including the original case which was discovered at it Lew Tong Estate, Jud ent of Judge Hartman in strict Court Here Up- held at Osgoode Mr. Justice Riddell dis- se ba the Second Divisional €-"eat Osgoode Hall has dis- 1 the appeal taken on be- h the estate of the late Har- ty wey Tong, restaurant keeper, who jed here recently, against a judgment of Judge Hartman, who in District Court upheld a claim brought against the defendant Chops w, by W. D, Harris New ae eh horse dealer. The a- inourlt involved was approximat- ely $260, the court adjusting the claim by deducting a few dollars from the original decision. The appeal taken in an interest- ing case was based on the ground that the document which played a part in the transaction con- tained no authority permitting the plaintiff Harris to repossess horses he had sold and then look to the purchaser for the balance remaining on the sale, and also that, by taking the action he did, he was deemed to have abandon- ed the first agreement. C. F. Tuer, who handled the case here for the defendant, has been noti- fied of the court's decision in To- ronto by J. W. Pickup, who pleaded the appeal before their Lordships. Chief Justice Latch- ford, Mr. Justice Orde and Mr. Justice Fisher were agreed the appeal should be dismissed. 'Harris, the plaintiff, sold a team to Percy Hume on termis, and Hume was alleged to have had his note backed by Lew Cochrane and which resulted in the quarantine being impose All of the cases were at the cam of Smith & Travers, the villi contractors aiid there werewnon. at the government headquarter All the men in the locality, ii. cluding Mr.' Sutherland, were vaccinated by {instruction "OL Se health authorities. The disease was of a very mild type, accord- ing to thé deputy minister, and all are recovering satisfactorily. Boards of Trade Held Annual Session in North Yesterday The Northern Ontario Associa- ted Boards of Trade met yester- day for the annual session at An- sonville, where the majority of the local Boards which comprise the Association were represented and where they were entertained by the Ansonville Board. Among the important matters that were on the agenda of the meeting was the question of in- surance rates in the North.

Mr. R. L. Jones, assistant secre- tary, and Mr. Walker, engineer, were to be present in the inter- ests of the underwriters. Election of officers for the year was set for yesterday evening and last night the delegates were entertained at a banquet by. the Ansonville Board. The troquois Falls Curling Club placed the curling rink at the disposal of the present to go into the matter delgates for Tuesday evening. Town Makes $100 Grant for Keeping Highway Open Helps With Haileybury's Share of $1,000 being Raised by Motor ® League at Request of Vice-President; Expect Gov- ernment will do Work Next Winter The town council on Monday; night decided to make a grant of | $100 towards the plowing out of the highway during the balance of the winter months. This came in response tora request by A.D. McArthur, vice-president of the Temiskaming Motor League, who explained that it was the aim of his organization to raise $1,000 among the three towns. Both New Liskeard and Cobalt, he-said were raising their proportion of the amount and he had had some success with private subscrip- tions in Haileybury, but was still short of the amount required. The $1,000 was divided evenly between the three towns. Asked just who would benefit by the keeping of the road open, Mr. McArthur said that if a fun- eral was to be held or a doctor required in a hurry, there was not a horse in Haileybury that could be hired. He believed that the road should be kept open in the interests of all and there were hopes, he said, that the "a: Northern Development Branch would undertake it next year if it was shown that the traffic war- rants it. There was some discussion as to whether it was wise to remove the snow from the roads, as this allowed the frost to go deeper and thus caused damage from heaving. It was thought by some that the paved portion did not suffer greatly, while others stated that it had been heaved in several places last year. It was also stated that there were only a few cars and trucks in Hailey- bury that were in use during the winter and that the other towns reaped more benefit on account of the wholesale houses which delivered their goods by truck. Mr. McArthur told the council that if the road was to be kept open the Motor League hoped to be able to have the road to the cemetery here plowed out as well. It was finally decided to make the grant, which is the same amount as was given last year for the purpose. | pame B ' Counsel Granted Adjournment in Legal Battle Over Status of O.
