Carson has Resigned From _ Town Council Head of Finance Committee Was Eighteen Months in Office No Successor Yet Last week Councillor A. J. Car-}{ son, for the past 18 months chair- | man of the finance committee and recognized as one of the hardest workers on the municipal board, téndered his resignation to Mayor Hamilton and his col- leagues. A special session was held at which Mr. Carson's resig- nation was accepted, but no steps filling the vacancy on the boar have so far been taken towards naming a finance committee chairman. Mr. Carson told The Hailey- burian this week that his chief reason for resigning was the fact that he felt that, after 18 months of administration of the town's finances at a critical period, he should be released from duty. The financial position of the municipality, he said, was in good shape and only needed strict ec- onomy during the present depres- sion. There was nothing to worry about, he believed, as the An excellent study of M.

Two Drivers to Appear in Court After Accidents Four Motorists Involved in High- Way Crashes Over Last Week-End PREMIER AT "MIKE" Accidents in which four mot- orists from the northern districts were involved, and which have as a sequel the appearance of two of the drivers concerned in police court to answer charges of reck- less driving laid against them, were reported on the Ferguson Highway over the week-end. On Sunday, Edward Perra, Iroquois Falls, is said to have crowded P. J. Sweeney, of Cobalt, off the road on the Thibeault hill, near North Bay, and on Monday night William Biron, Taschereau, Que., was in a collision with a Kirk- land Lake owned car on a rise near Duncan Lake. Biron and Perra are the -res- pective defendants in the legal proceedings-which are to follow The former was brought to the Cobalt lock-up after Provincial Constable Leland Walker, at Temagami, had been called and had investigated the affair, Perra was told by Provincial Constable Prime Minister of Greece, This particular M. Venizelos made the presentation speech. policy of economy entered into last year had brought about a satisfactory change in the town's position. Pesonally, he said, he felt that he wanted to feel more free to devote to his own busin- ess during the balance of the year, as he had worked hard for the municipality during his term of office. Asked as to what steps would be taken in regard to the vacancy on the council, Mayor Hamilton Good Books are Donations and Purchases Have Ted Berard, road patrol officer at North Bay, that he would be summoned to court there as a re- sult of the occurrence on Sunday. Constable Berard was called af- ter Sweeney's car had gone into the ditch on the east side of the road.

J. Miller, district engineer for the Northern Development De- partment, to the Cobalt town council late last week. The steel structure of the bridge has been completed and painted and a start was made Monday of this week on the work of pouring the con- crete for the floor. Mr. Miller interviewed the Co- balt council on the question of the continuation of Lang Street to the crossing, and the outcome was that a decision was reached to leave the street running down to its junction with First Street, 'jalmost at the T. & N.O. right-of- way. A foot-path across the tracks to the Nipissing Central stop will provide pedestrians a means of reaching the cars at that point. Mr. Miller was asked as to the probability of a permanent sur- face being laid on the approaches to the bridge and stated that this would not be done at the present. The approaches would be left with gravel until the time comes when the whole road from Cobalt to New Liskeard will be surfaced but when this will be was not known yet. About the time the new bridge is opened, several other new stretches of the Ferguson High- way between the three towns will be completed. These have been in course of preparation since last year and are designed to eliminate several bad curves and the rock cuts between Cobalt and North Cobalt. The oiling of the road over this stretch has been a great boon te the motor- ists and the majority look for a paved surface within a compara- tively few years.

Haying should have been completed last week, Mr. Cook said, but much of the prod- uct still is in the fields. Otherwise, the outlook was splendid, Mr. Cook thought.
