Everyone present at the meeting was convinced that the time had come when the library could be established and forms of application, from the Libraries' Department of Education, were filled in with the required number of signatures and will be forward- ed in the near future. The chief obstacle to the re- opening of a library has been the lack of suitable quarters, but this can be overcome, it is believed. There are said to be more than one location available, but the general opinion expressed at the| meeting was that when the addi- | tion to the arena, which is now nearing completion, is finished a room can be secured there that! will be the most suitable of any. Steps have already been taken to get permission from the authori- ties for the use of one of the of- | fices on the ground floor and it is | will | thought that no difficulties be met with. In regard to the financing, Judge Hayward, chairman of the old L ibrary Board, told the meet- ing that there was a balance of $416 in the funds of the Board. It was considered that with this amount on hand, and a member- ship fee fixed, it would be pos- sible to commence with ed to as time goes on. A govern- ment grant is made to all public libraries by the Department and is based on the amount spent by | It is also | the local organization. expected that many citizens will be in a position to donate books or cash and there appears to be no doubt that the library will be a success. When the formal application for organization has been com- pleted, another-meeting of those signing it will be called and a Board elected. It will be possible then to get down to business de- finitely and the library should be open early in the summer. secured | Branch of the} a fair-!| sized library which could be add-| 'Kirkland Woman to Face Serious Charge at Assizes in June | Mrs. Tressa Brazonia, of Kirk- j\land Lake, who was last week {committed for trial on a charge of performing an illegal opera- ltion, and was to have been tried at the asizes here this week, will not come before the court until the session on June 3rd. This was arranged yesterday by her counsel, M. G. Hunt, of Kirkland Lake, and F. L. Smiley, K.C., the Crown Attorney. The charge was laid under Sec- tion 303 of the Criminal Code, in connection with the death of a Mrs. Veka Ziralda, which took |place recently in the mining town and Mrs. Brazonia was arrested 'on Thursday last. At the preli- minary hearing before Magistrate Atkinson on Friday last the com- mittal was made and the accused / brought to the district jail here |to await trial. Mrs. Brazonia is ed for hearing at the spring as- sizes of the Supreme Court here were quickly disposed of when the court opened on Tuesday af- ternoon. Mr. Justice Garrow is presiding and there was a full house present at the opening, many being witnesses, while others were sitting in out of cur- iosity, and the usual panel of jurors swelled the numbers. After the preliminaries had been disposed of, F. L. Smiley, K. C., announced that. the last case on the list, E. C. Davis vs. Chelt- onia Kirkland Mines Limited, had been settled. F. Elliot and W. A. Gordon, K.C., appearing for the plaintiff and defendant respect- ively in the suit of F. Clement vs. Joel W. Hamilton, told His Lord- ship that some adjustments in the claim would have to be made by the registrar, and consented w Justice Garrow's suggestion that the whole matter be referred to the District Court Judge.

M. Burke Limited, of Timmins. The Department claims sums from the firm yarying in amount, the coal company's indebtedness being given as $21,620, and the newspaper $86,460, while the Timmins firm apparently owes $28,820. We have no knowledge of the financial situation of the North- land Post, but we can say this, however, that if The Haileybur- ian was in the same position and the Attorney General succeeded in getting a judgment for any- thing more than about five per cent. of the amount claimed, the readers of this journal would look in vain for their weekly budget of news. --o------------_ See the new Studebaker models at the big Motor Show to be held in New Liskeard on April 9th, under the auspices of the |judgment was entered according- Temiskaming Motor League.
