_ 'THE HAILEYBURIAN - Vol. 26; No. 50 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 19th, 1931 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per yeat Session of Parliament to Last Over Three Months Tariff Revision Appears to be Most Contentious Subject on Pro- gram; Federal Aid For Highways and Technical Educa- tion Also, Says Ottawa News Letter Represents Tariffs Ottawa, March 14--' Parliament is in session and will stay that way for at least three-and-a-half months. Some pessimists are al- ready to the fore with prophecies that the meeting will carry over} until fall---and it may. | The program, as laid before members in the Speech from the Throne, appears contentious only with respect to tariff revision. There is other legislation propos- ed which the former government refused, such as federal aid for highway building and for techni- cal education. The objection to it, however, is largely academic and it will have the staunch sup- port of independent members as well as that of the government. Mr. King's objection is to the Dominion voting money where it does not retain direct control of the expenditure. When that ob- jection is recorded the House should be ready to vote. Senator C. P.

The identity of the fliers, who took a chance (of in- jury or death to avoid harming the children, apparently has not been revealed. The plane of the Canadian Air- ways met with a bad accident day before yesterday. The pilot and mechanic were returning to a short distance up. Figuring on making another hop, they started up when they rounded the point of the mouth of Bear River, they saw that there was a number of children on the ice, and as they were then descending and could not get out of it they had to crash into a store house of J. R. Booth's Ltd., to avoid striking any of the children, who were scattered about the ice. The plane in a way was hemmed in at the time and there was no way of getting out other than strike the children, or crash so the pilot de- cided to crash against the store house. The plane was badly wrecked but fortunately neither the pilot or mechanic was hurt. Released on Bail Four Weeks from Date For Trial Sayed Alexander Had Been Held Since December Facing Arson Charge After having been held in the district jail here since early last December, Sayed Alexander has been released on bail, within four weeks of the scheduled date of his appearance before the High Court here on a charge of arson. Alexander was arrested in Kir- kland Lake after fire had de- and when his case came beforer Mr. Justice Kelly at the assizes a few days later, the grand jury returned a true bill, but the trial was traversed to the next sitting to give his counsel time to pre- pare the defence. Bail was set at $5,000, but this was not met for more than three months. It has been furnished by two Syrian compatriots, on property owned by them in the district.

Mr. McKeen, a member of the firm, was in Haileybury for a few days and before he left the deal was arranged. He had come up to look the situation over follow- ing a published report which stated that Haileybury, in com- mon with several other municip- alities, was in financial difficulties as it was his firm which handled the debenture issue.

TOWN'S PRIVATE BILL BEFORE COMMITTEE OF LEGISLATURE TODAY Advance in Liquor Prices Settlers Association President And Cochrane Man Visit Cabinet Members The private bill of the town of Haileybury, which is to provide for the issuing, without a vote of the electors, debentures for purposes which have been al- ready made clear, will come be- fore the Committee of the Legis- lature on Private Bills today. This information was convey- ed to Mayor Hamilton yesterday in a telegram from J. A. Ellis, who requested that His Worship and Councillor Carson, chairman of the finance committee, be on hand to present the question. They left last night for the city. There appears to be no cause for apprehension as to the fate of the measure, which will great- ly facilitate the carrying on of the town's business for the year and will make it possible for the consolidation of the old deben- ture debt, if such a course is deemed advisable later. On their way to Toronto to in- terview Hon. Geo. S. Henry, Prime Minister, and Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, Joseph Lacasse, presid- ent of the Northern Ontario Set- tlers' Association, and J..A. Cler- mont, of Cochrane, passed through here on Saturday last. ge the government to further consider the granting of a bonus to settlers for the clearing of land, a resolution covering the re- quest having been passed by the Associated Boards of Trade at the meeting of that body in New Liskeard last month. Mr. Lacasse is at the head of the Settlers' Association, formed last year by the farmers in the Kapuskasing and Cochrane sec- tions of the North. The organiz- ation has made good progress since its inception and is in a fair way to bring the needs of the settler before the authorities more definitely than has hereto- [ea been the case.

He was 25 years of age and hada wife and three children. A rifle was the means chosen for ending his life and it is re- ported that the act was commit- ted in his own home. Huston was employed as a truck driver by one of the oil companies with a depot in Englehart. Dr. F. H. Wilson, the coroner for Englehart, and Provincial Constable Devlin investigated the tragedy and it was consider- ed that an inquest was unneces- sary. The body was sent to Newmarket, former home of the deceased, for burial. AIN SITUATION Sidewalks Must Be Cleared of Snow in Downtown Area Requires Property Owners To ; Two Streets Designated And Time Set For Work to be Completed EEE et | Under the new by-lay, passed yesterday morning by the town 'council meeting in' special ses- i sion for the purpose, owners and | occupiers of property in the , downtown area will be compelled ito clear the sidwalks on which itheir premises are located of both | snow and ice. The recent thaw, jwhich has left the walks in rath- ler a bad condition with the melt- ing snow and ice has been rest ponsible for the action of the council. The section designated as cov- ered by the by-law consists of Ferguson Avenue, between Am- well Street and Browning Street, and Main Street, between Ferg- uson "and Georgina Avenues. This"covers the greater part of the business section and the keep ing of these streets clear will no doubt be an incentive to resid- ents on other streets to follow the good example. The by-law provides for the re- moval of snow and ice not later than 9 a.m. daily. Merchants and others in occupying buildings on the designated streets are now being warned of the new regula- tions and it is expected that they will be strictly observed. Information as to the terms of the new regulation is being con- veyed to all parties on the streets affected by the chief of police. The passing of this by-law was the only business transacted at the special meeting yesterday. Se Sa Sa Fourteen men left the district jail here yesterday, nine of them to serve terms at Burwash, the other five had completed short terms and were free men. { "uolyepes eerrity Charles Bilinsky, of '-'2 Ssuwu- bury High School, won the dist- rict honors in oratory at North Bay on Friday night, with Regi- nald Gibbs, of the North Bay Col- legiate, second.
