Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests. The new bridge, which has been constructed this year at a cost, according to the Minister, of $136,265, is 800 féet long and 100 feet above the normal jevel of the riyer. It eliminates one of the terrors of the motorists, the old low-level bridge with its -- steep hills and curves, and also does away with two dangerous cross- ings over the T. & N.O. Railway, keeping the main highway on the west side of the tracks as it pass- es through town. Into the new structure has gone 500 tons of structural and 22 tons of reinforcing steel, 13,160 bags of cement, 3,500 cubic yards of gravel, 2,800 feet of piling and 450 gallons of paint. It is the first bridge of its size to be con- structed of entirely Canadian ma- terials by Canadian workmen, a fact which was stressed by Mr. Finlayson 'in the nering cere- mony, and is the longest and highest structure on the whole highway between Toronto and Cochrane. Those who attended the official opening included A. J. Kennedy, M.L.A., and Mrs. Kennedy, D. te Miller, district engineer of the Northern Development Branch, J. S. Leitch, resident engineer, Gra- ham Reid, engineer in charge of construction for the Chatham Dredging and Construction Co., which built the bridge, W. H. glee "Maund, secretary of the T. & N. O. Commission, with Mayor C. H. Powell and E. C. Darling, presi- dent of the Board of Trade. Previous to the opening cere- mony, a procession of motor cars drove out over the old road to the new bridge, across which a white silk ribbon had been stret- ched at the centre.

Finn Magazine Grabs Story by Haileybury Man Leslie McFarlane's Tale of "The Man Who Looked Back" is Evidently a Favorite To discover one of his short stories: translated into the Fin- nish language and published in a Finnish magazine, without auth- ority and without remuneration, was a recent experience of Leslie McFarlane, Haileybury writer and the author of "Streets of Shadow." The story which the Finnish publisher fancied was entitled "The Man Who Looked Back" and was written by Mr. McFarlane in 1927.. He sold the story for publication in an Amer- ican magazine, with no rights for translation or for publication in any other periodical, and is at a loss to know by what authority it appeared this year. Mr. McFarlane might . easily have remained unaware of the occurrence, had not an acquaint- ance noticed his name on _ the cover of the magazine in a To- ronto news stand. This acquaint- ance sent a copy of the magazine to Mr. McFarlane, who was able to identify the story after he had the title and a portion of 'the text put into English again. The author is now endeavoring to trace the course of his story after it appeared in the American magazine and may be able to col- lect eventually from the latest publishers. Evidently it was a good story, when it was grabbed up and translated into a foreign language, but that may be said of all of Mr. McFarlane's stories. BODIES OF TWO MORE ARE RECOVERED FROM LARDER LAKE WATERS Word from Kirkland Lake yes- terday was to the effect that two more bodies had been recovered from the waters of Larder Lake that day, victims of the holiday {drowning tragedy which overtook a party of seven almost a month ago. They are the hodies of Miss Horester and Colin Webster Three bodies were _ recoverd within a comparatively few days of the tragedy, but there remain two, John C. Skinner, chief en- gineer of the Lake Shore mine, and Miss Wilma Tinsombe. The bodies which were recovered ear- lier were those of Mrs. Skinner, Miss Anna Monck and Thomas Cunningham.

Mr. Associated Boards of Trade Debate Hydro Power in North Long Discussion Ends With Question Left Over for Next Meet- ing; Want Northern Man on T.& N.O. Commission; Would Have Radio Station A resolution from the Anson- ville Board of Trade, asking en-jthe meeting. dorsation of a request that the Ontario Hydro Commission take over all power developments in the North, brought the longest discussion of the session of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, held in New Liskeard on Friday afternoon. There were many arguments ad- vanced by the delegates, both for and against the resolution, with the result that the question was shelved for the time and_ will tome up for discussion at the annual meeting in February next. The president of the Associat- ed Boards, W. O. Langdon of Timmins, introduced the resolu- tion in the absence of any dele- gates from Ansonvillé. He spoke strongly in its favor, foreseeing that during the next 25 years all present power developments would be utilized and the North would "be asking for more." A fair proposition would be for the Hydro to take over all present plants at a fair price and supply all industries, etc., in the same way as in. Southern Ontario where, he declared, it had been a "great project." The first opposition to the re- solution came from A. A, Amos, of Cobalt, who gave some history of power in the North Country in the early days. He contrasted the price paid then, for develop- ment by the means of coal at the first mines in Cobalt, $125 to $180 per horse power, with present conditions and pointed out that the Canada Northern Power Cor- poration now pays taxes of well over $300,000, of which $72,481)]- goes to the municipalities. This); revenue would be lost under 'the? Hydro system, he held, and he did not believe there would be any great reduction in the price of power, when all sides of the question were taken into consid- eration. Mr. Amos stated that, with the total assets of the Pow- er Corporation at $35,000,000, in his opinion the purchase of all power developed would increase the funded debt of the province by at least $100,000,000, a circum- stance that could not be thought of at the present, as the country was "almost bled white' with federal, provincial and municipal loans. He criticised the action of the government in regard to the Abitibi Canyon project, which he termed "taking over a bankrupt concern at a high figure." Supporting the resolution were Frank Preston of Englehart, C. P. Cross, Cobalt, and others, while Dr. A. C; Farlinger and A' E. Stephenson, New Liskeard, and H. W. Rowdon, Cobalt, each were opposed, Mr. Stephenson holding that the number present was too small for a real expression of opinion, and one delegate sug- gesting that the insertion of the word "ultimate" would best ex- press the opinion of the meeting. Haileybury delegates, who had not discussed the question in their local Board, weré in favor of de- laying action until the next meeting and a resolution to that effect carried. Opening the session, President Langdon gave a short resume of the business of the annual meet- ing in Timmins in February last. One big question that had been up at that time was the proposed road linking Timmins and Sud- bury, and considerable headway had been made in the interval, some sections of the road having been built during the summer, with the result that considerable employment had been even. A reduction in freight rates on pulpwood had been secured, through the efforts of the past president, C. W. Wright, and large quantities of the wood had Wright had also made ¢ tour of Western On- tario during the summer and had addressed several meétings,| spreading the gospel of the North Country. This had been at the expense of the Western Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, Mr, 3 Wright said, and he was aca on Height of Land ed a hearty vote of thanks from| There had' also been some progress made in re- gard to the problem of indigent patients in hospitals, a matter that has 'engaged the attention of the Association for years, and now these were being taken care of, to somé extent at least, by the government. A resolution from the NewLis- keard Board, asking that when a through Canadian National train is again run between Montreal and Vancouver it should be rout- ed over the T. & N. O. was en- dorsed by the delegates. Cobalt had a resolution asking for a representative of the North Country on both the T. & N.O. and Hydro Electric Commissions, but was asked to separate two, as the preamble stated that neither of the bodies had a rep- resentative of the North and it was held that the chairman of the T. & N. O., Geo. W. Lee, was an exception to this. Cobalt dele- gates agreed to split the two. This being done, the one in re- gard to the T. & N. O. Commis- sion came up first and provoked considerable discussion. An amendment by G. A. MacDonald of Timmins, would have inserted the words "that this be taken into consideration when a vacan- cy occurs," but the sponsors of the resolution objected to this. It was argued that the Commis- sion should have a representative living in the country served by the railway, that there was no thought of asking "for anyone to be discharged" and that it was in no sense a criticism of the pre- sent body. As re-written, the ; solution called for a member deals had "resided for 10 years in He: dis strict. served 'by the rail- way' " and it was endorsed by the meeting, after the amendment had been voted on and declared lost. The delegates, however, fought shy of asking for a Nor- thern representative on the Hy- dro and the resolution covering that question was lost. A resolution from Ansonville asked endorsation of a request that organized municipalities be placed on the same footing as un- organized, in regard to relief matters, but this was referred back with the explanation under the present system 'each was considered on its merits and that there was something of a sliding scale in regard to the pro- portion of relief paid by the gov- ernments. R: The resolution. from Iroquois Falls, asking that the proposed new radio station for Northern Ontario be located on the height of Land, near Bourkes, was en- dorsed by the meeting, although a delegate from North Bay, R.H. Thompson, held that a site at Sudbury or Capreol would better serve the whole territory. Mr. Thompson is in the radio busi- ness, operating a private station at North Bay. It was pointed out that already his resolution had been submitted to the feder- al government by some of the member Boards, and the motion was passed. The. Associated Boards will send a letter to each of the oil companies operating in the North asking an explanation of the fact that there is a difference of 10 cents per gallon in the wholesale price of gasoline between To- ronto and New Liskeard, while the freight rate is 5.2 cents be- tween the two points. This was considered "too large a spread" by M. Auger, of New Liskeard, who had investigated the matter on behalf of the local Board there. C. W. Wright, Englehart; past president of the Association, told the meeting that, while the T. & N.O. Railway had decided to dis- continue its exhibit at the C.N.E. this year, when the matter was called to the attention of the Commission by Mr. Langdon, they had sent him (Mr. Wright) to the exhibition to take charge of an information desk and had .

Twenty Appeals Dealt With By Revision Court Sitting on Tuesday Cleans Up List for Year; Appellants Have Varying Luck A total of 20 appeals faced the Court of Revision at the sitting on Tuesday afternoon, all of which were disposed of before the court rose at 6.30. Council- lor P. M. Fleming was chairman, with Councillors A. P. Knechtel and Mrs. M.O. Houston the other members. The first on the list was Chas. Austin, who appealed against an assessment of $300 on his lot on Broadway Street, his ground be- ing lack of drainage on the prop- erty. He was not oiven a redue tion, but was promised that the drainage would be looked after. Wm. C. Inch appeared for A. Beauregard, Elliott Street, put failed to secure a reduction from the amount of $1,200: H. D. Burnett, the next appel- lant, had better luck and got a cut of $200 in his $2,700 assess- ment on' Briwning Street. H. C. Dunbar was also success- ful in securing a reduction from $300 each on four vacant lots to $100 each. F. R. Gibson appealed his as- sessment of $7,200 on his build- ing on Ferguson Avenue, and' the amount of $1,850 on the land on which it stands. He claimed that the valuation was too high, com- pared to other locations on the street, but the court only cut $500 off the building valuation. leaving the lot as it was. Mr. Gibson was not satisfied with the court's ac- tion and told the members that the council was renting houses "so ridiculously low" that private parties could not rent anything. He declared that he could not "get his rights from a Haileybury eouncil" and would carry his ap- peal to the District Judge. An appeal by the National Chapter, I.0.D.E., against the assessment of the former Red Cross Hospital building, was ar- gued by Mr. Pearlman, who claimed exemption of the proper- ty under an agreement. This was referred to the town solici- tor by the court. D. L. Jemmett secured a re- duction from $2,800 to $1,800 in the assessment of his property on tthe Lake Shore Road, comprising one acre. J. A. Larocque got a cut of one half in the assessment of 21 acres of land west of the T. & N.O, railway, from $1,050 to $525. Property in the name of the Hudson's Bay Company was re- duced from $2,700 to $2,000, and the assessment of the Weedon House on Browning Street was cut from $2,050 to $1,675. I. B. Roger was successful in having his assessment reduced from $2,700 to $1,900. W. H. Thompson got a reduc- tion of $150 in a $250. assessment on a vacant lot and the house of Jos. Walsh was. reduced from $1,600 to $1,400. Appellants who did not secure a reduction included J. Berry, Mrs. B. Mondoux, Mrs. A. Peter- son and W. H. Pritchard, while S. St. Louis secured a cut of $200 in a $1,200 assessment on_ his property. ee eee Several hunters have been ob- served this week driving through town with their deer, but so far no local man has_ reported any success, GIBSON: J.
