This week we have gone fur- ther into the blue book contain- ing the public accounts of the province for the fiscal year end- ing October 31st, 1929, and while it is generally believed that these government publications are very dry reading, there is plenty of information to be dug up that one never hears spoken of except possibly just before election time. -Glancing through the report of _the Attorney-General's Depart- ment, one finds that the cost of administration of justice in the District of Temiskaming during the year was $19,128.01. In Coch- rane the figures were $6,429.83, while Nipissing and Sudbury Dis- tricts are listell as $13,701.99 and $19,611.31 respectively. Included in the figures for Cochrane is an item of $1,194.97 paid to A. B. Cunningham, K.C., as fees for prosecutions at the assizes, at one of which John Ivanchuk was con- victed of the murder of Inspector Constable and sentenced to be hanged. In this connection there is also shown the payment of $5,000 to "sundry persons" as a reward for the arrest and con- viction of Ivanchuk. Their iden- tities are not revealed. It is shown that prosecutions in Temiskaming and Nipissing Dis- tricts cost only $40 each, and that the respective Crown Attorneys for the districts, F. L. Smiley, K. C,, and T. E. McKee, acted in all RS LG -cannestiors with =tie provincial election last year there are items of $2,000 paid to Judge Caron, of Cochrane, and $500 each to Judge Hartman, Haileybury, and Judge Valin, North Bay. Further on in this report one learns that Magistrate Atkinson is the highest paid police magis- trate in the province, receiving a salary of $3,600 per year, plus travelling expenses and an allow- ance of $300 for clerical help. Magistrate Tucker, of Cochrane, receives $3,250 and travelling ex- penses, plus the same allowance for clerical assistance. Other ma- gistrates in the North are rated as follows: C. E. McGaughey, of North Bay, $2,000; Thos. Stod- dart, Copper Cliff, $3,000; J. S. McKessock, Sudbury, $2,100. In the report of the Depart- ment of Education it is shown that grants to schools of the North account for many thous- ands of dollars annually.

' A fire had been built in the stove at 6.15 a.m. in preparation for the early Communion Ser- vice, which is held at 8.30. When the Rector, Rev. J. Evans, ar- rived for the service he found the Church filled with smoke and im- mediately summoned the brigade. A hole had been burned in the floor, but the building was not otherwise damaged and the ser- vices at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. were held as usual, The damage is covered by insurance. --------».--_ No share in the gasoline tax will be given to municipalities, according to an announcement last week in the Ontario Legis- SOLDIERS' HOSPITAL | when | H "| Imf-3Nc TONIGHT TO | «DISCUSS PLANS FOR RE-OPENING LIBRARY | All citizens are reminded that) tonight, at Hotel Haileybury, a --_ 4 . ror cect for re-establishing a} pulfc library in Haileybury. 1 For several weeks past a com-}| mittee of the Rotary Club has! been working with members ofi the.former library 'board | and! |have gone thoroughly into ways jand means.

The country to be covered is very level, with no rock work, and with little in- terruption in the form of gullies. A gang of men is cutting down the brush ahead of the crew hand- ling the steel laying part of the work, and behind both are two trains hauling gravel for ballast. On the first day of operations, a- bout a mile and half of track was put down, but machinery break- age stopped work temporarily, al- though this since had been re- sumed.

On the Inspector's authority, when the work of extending the railway from Island Falls to Coral Rapids was under way some years ago, no trouble was experienced, from the police point of view, and it is regarded as a good au- gury that the same firm of con- tractors is again on the job. ee ee Eee HOLD NOMINATIONS TO FILL VACANCIES IN TOWN OF COBALT The town of Cobalt will hold a nomination meeting on Thurs- day, April 3rd, to fill a vacancy on the town council, caused by the unseating of O.
