This number will make a total of 500, as during the sum- mer there were 25 purchased and installed in order to test to some extent the amount of water be- ing used. Services typical of the average were chosen at that time and the council now has a fairly good idea of the quantity requir- ed. The scheme is part of the plan for a new water supply from the springs on the hill and from Constance Lake, which has been in course of execution for almost a year. When the meters are installed and the repairs now being made by the contractors on the main line from the lake are compleved, the new system will pe put into use. This should be in the course of a month or two, according to P. M. Fleming, chairman of the waterworks committee of the town council, who also states that it will take some months be- fore a new rate can be fixed, based on the consumption of wa- ter. Mr. Fleming says that if care is exercised in the use of water, both in the home and in public buildings, Haileybury will eventually see the water rates cut in half. With the elimination of the pumping, and the use of chemicals now required to purify the waters of Lake Temiskaming he foresees that in perhaps three years this. reduetion yill be cism of the new system, Mr. Fleming is confident that it will provide an ample supply for the town, with a satisfactory reserve in the lake for any emergency, In regard to the make of meter purchased, Mr. Fleming stated that the "Trident" had been cho- sen after careful investigation of the models submitted and ,con- sultation with the heads of other municipalities where they are in use, They were believed to be the most suitable for local pur- poses, were well built of non- corrosive materials in the parts which were exposed to the action of chemicals in the water and were guaranteed to prove satis- factory. Good terms of payment had been secured from the com- pany, through their local agent, H. D, Burnett. The price is $9.98 each for the ordinary household size, to which is added sales tax of six per cent., making a_ total of $10.58 f.o.b.

W. A. Gordon, Minister of Immigra- tion, in an address to the assem- bled guests at the 17th annual convention banquet of the Tem- iskaming Firemen's Association last evening. "This country can absorb a cer- tain number of hard working, in- dustrious people from other lands," continued Mr. Gordon, "but the slothful troublemakers who come over here, refuse to work and devote all their time to stirring up strife among those of their countrymen who are quite content to labor and be- come respectable citizens, should be weeded out. The sooner they are shown the door the better it will be for the country as a whole. It is against this class that I have been directing my energies and will continue to do so until the menace is removed." "Canada is slowly but surely emerging from the present de- pression and it is gratifying to me to go throughout the country and see the great courage and fortitude displayed by all in their struggle against adversity and no act of any outside agency will be allowed to retard this progress, if it is at all possible to prevent Mr. and Mrs. Frank McDonald portions to occur in Haileybury for a period of three months de- stroyed the home of Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year HON. W. A. GORDON AND TOM MAGLADERY MAKE SHORT VISIT TO NORTH Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Mines, Labor, ete., at Ottawa, and Tom Magladery, Director of Soldiers' Settlement, paid a short visit to the North this week. Mr. Gordon came up from Ot- tawa to attend the annual con- vention of the Temiskaming Firemen's Association at Kirk- land Lake, on Monday. Mr. Ma- gladery was in Sault Ste Marie last week for the convention of the Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion and came on to this district, joining Mr. Gordon at Kirkland Lake. They arrived in Haileybury early on Tuesday morning, coming down from Swastika in the Minister's private car, attached to the paper train, and spent the day in town. At Kirkland Lake, Mr. Gordon was the chief speaker at a ban- quet held at the close of Mon- day's session of the Firemen's Association and delivered a very interesting address. During Tues- day he had many callers in Hail- eybury, but his visit was cut short by the impending opening of Parliament, which takes place today.
