MacLean' or Phone 390 3 : Haileybury Hotel; There wasva fairly atten- dance at the annual meeting and banquet of the Haileybury Board of Trade, held on Tuesday even- ing in the Matabanick Hotel, and here were many matters of town and district interest discussed, ranging from questions of relief in the town itself to the mainten- ance of the highways and railway The ficers and executive of the good present of- Board train schedules. were re-elected for another year and to their number was addeaa publicity committee, which will take up the question of advertis- ing as extensively as possible the attractions of the town and dist- rict during the coming tourist season. The President, O. J. Thorpe; vice-president, Grek Tuer; secretary, J: T. Leishman; executive, S, H. Glassford, J. E officers are: McCuaig, N. Morissette, W. H. Tuke, A. G: Kirkpatrick and S. J. Mason. The publicity com- mittee is composed of A. D. Mc- Arthur, S. J' Mason, T. A. Sam- mon arid the president and sec- retary. Following. the dinner, which drew:compliments to Mr. and Mrs:-~Bulger of the Matabanick, the secretary read a report of the Board's activities during the past the year, in which was outlined work that had been done in con- nection with the completion of the West Road extension, the improvements to the town bath- ing beach and other matters which had engaged the attention of the executive. Only afew meetings had been held, it was stated, and the Board's activities had been hampered by lack of funds, but considerable work had been done, . The matter of relief in Hail- eybury was brought to the at- tention of the meeting by Wm. C. Inch, who asked what would be done for the unemployed when the town ceased their provision on May Ist, as had been reported to be the case. He said that there had been no hint of any mishand- Board of rade Discusses Many Community Questions Members Gather for Annual Meeting and Banquet at Matabanick Talk Over Relief Matters, Road Maintenance; Etc.; Former Officers and Executive Re-Elected ling of the relief in Haileybury, but felt that there still would still be need after the time stat- ed. To this Mayor Hamilton re- plied that the whole question was one of financing, and he gave the meeting a general idea of the town's position at the present. He stated that the governments were willing to carry on their contributions, but' these were entirely dependent on the muni- cipality contributing its propor- tion. Already the amount distri- buted had be reduced about 25 per cent., he said, and he expected this would be further cut, but it was felt that there would prob- ably have to be a continuance of distribution of smaller amounts for a time, probably until the end of May Ay. D. McArthur, relief committee of the town council, told of the difficulties experienced in relief distribution and the impossibility in many cases, of getting any re- turn in the way work by the unemployed men. He agreed with the mayor that some would still have to be cared for. In this connection the reduc- tion of expenditures on the high- chairman of the of ways was brought up and_ the meeting decided to petition the government to carry onas much road work during thé summer was possible, in the interests the unemployed men. There was also a suggestion, made 'to the meeting by the president of the as of 30ard, that prison labor might be used on the roads in this neighborhood, but it was stated that this had been tried before, without success, the authorities holding that it -was_ strictly against he law. It was suggest- ed, however, that there could be considerable improvement made in the appearance of the town from the railway station if some prison labor was made available, and this will be taken up with the proper authorities.

L. Smiley, K.C., has been given her claim in full, $1,000 and costs. The action, heard at the recent sittings of the Supreme Court in Haileybury, and in which judg- ment was reserved at the time, revolved around the plaintiff's contention that the payment of half of the second semi-annual instalment due on a premium on been paid and the 30 days of grace had elapsed before the death of the insured man. In his judgment, his Lordship states that "the company relies on a forfeiture, but I have come to the conclusion that it is es- topped from setting up that de- fence because (1) of the repre- sentation made to the assured by Clark (the agent) and (2) the company retained such _pay- ment, not only during the 30 a | when Gilmour |Y her late husband's life kept the policy in force, while the com- pany argued it had lapsed be-||p cause the full amount had not days' period, but subsequently." Water Level Up Over Eight Feet Since April 6th Steady Rise in Water of Lake Temiskaming More Marked Than Uusual The steady rise in the water level of Lake Temiskaming, which commenced on April 6th, has been more marked than usual this and when the mea-~ surement was taken at the Hail- eybury airport yesterday morning where ,records are kept daily, it was found, that the water was just 8.6 feet higher than its level the movement first level of the lake's surface is to the the breakwater at the airport and on Tuesday, afternoon a fairly fresh north wind moved the. ice down the lake slightly, resulting in its being forced up the sloping side spring, began The now. very close top of of the breakwater and well over the top.. This occurred in the course of an hour or two and it was an unusual sight to see the ice being forced up and onto the breakwater. The cause of the rise in the water was the opening of the dam*at the Quinze River. For several days came up six inches in twenty-four hours, but Has slacked up now and is only rising about three inches in the same time. The dam is now closed: The ice appears to be. fairly, solid in the broad expanse of the lake opposite Haileybury, alt- though a stretch of open water is visible near the upper end and there is also sone In the Wabi bay at \New Liskeard. Coldér weather with frost at nights has delayed the opening to some @x- tent and it appears as though the ice will remain for a few days, Or even weeks, yet. : --_--_-- A lane of open water appeared this morning, extending from near the end of the breakwate, in the direction of Dawson's Point, and over a mile long.
