THURS., NOVEMBER 20, 1941 THE HAILEYBURIAN Page Five Show Photographs As Evidence In Claim For Haulage Former Haileybury Man Given Judgment in Claim Heard in New Liskeard Court In the absence of the defend- ants, Robert Watson of Matach- ewan and formerly of Haileybury was given judgment for $143.75 and costs against George W. Cro- thers, Ltd., of Toronto, whom he had sued over a contract to haul machinery from the Arbade mine to Elk Lake, the action coming before Judge G. H. Haywara in Division Court sittings at New Liskeard on Tuesday morning. R. D. Cumming appeared for the plaintiff and costs of the case included counsel fee of $15. Defendants had paid $69.22 in- to court and previously had paid $180.00 on account, His Honor was told. An exhibit at the hear- ing was a series of five photo- graphs of the road from the Ar- bade mine to the floating bridge across the Montreal River be- yond Matachewan and, although Watson himself described the road as neither good nor bad, the pictures suggested that going over it must have been rough in places. Watson claimed Mr. Norrie of the Crothers Company had inter- viewed him in Matachewan on August 14 last and had struck a bargain then for plaintiff to haul the machinery, first to the float- ing bridge and then, after a por- tage, to Elk Lake. The distance from mine to bridge, Watson said was five or five and half miles, and the agreement for this phase of the work was two dollars daily for ten hours, and board. Plaintiff told Mr. Cumming that, for the 38 or 40 mile run from the floating bridge to Elk Lake the rate was to be $15a day at a dollar and a half an hour. This was necessary because his - truck, which goes ten miles ona gallon of gasoline, could not be handled* over that stretch for the same money. to plaintiff, had said he would make it all right, although no particular amount had been men- tioned. Some days there had been two trips between bridge and Elk Lake. : Corroboration of the conversa- tion between Norrie and Watson was given by Lucien Savoye, em- ployed by plaintiff. The claim was for $361.50, made-up of 25 days at $10 daily, 17 hours over- time at one dollar an hour, six days (to Elk Lake) at $15 daily, and three hours overtime at a dol- lar and a half an hour. Credits included 90 gallons of gasoline at 36 cents a gallon, a quart of oil at 30 cents, deduction for Nation- al Defence tax, five dollars, and paid on account $180, for a total of $217.75. Airgraph forms for sending letters to Canadian servicemen "overseas are now available at the local post office. The postage rate is 10 cents. Norrie, according. ENLARGE PLANTS FOR REFINING COBALT; SHORTAGE IS FEARED Of interest to mining men of the district is arecent report from Niagara Falls, to the effect that cobalt has been placed under di- rect allocation system in the United States, that a shortage ot the metal is feared and that re- fining capacity is being increased 50 per cent. The plant in Niagara Falls is being enlarged, the re- port said, and the uncertainty of shipments from abroad had caus- ed fears of a shortage. Cobalt metal is used as an alloy for steel, largely in the production of high- speed cutting tools, while its chemical compounds are used as adryer for paint and as a binder for applying enamel to steel. Algonquin Regiment to Be in North Bay All Day Tomorrow Continued from Page 1) dian National, the men will march from the station to Fort Chippewa Barracks to clean up after the long train trip, and later there will be various ceremonies, which will be planned to conclude early in order to allow the men to meet their relatives and friends in the afternoon. There are 860 all ranks in the Regiment. The long-awaited move of the Algonquins is now definite and relatives in the T. & N.O. area will want to go to North Bay to see them: It had been expected the move would be made earlier when more suitable driving wea- ther would allow a greater num- ber of peope to visit the city. All reports are to the effect the men have reached a high degree of \efficiency in their training and | hundreds will welcome them on their return from the west. One rumor heard this week is that the unit is billed to go to Singa- pore, which might not be so far tetched, in the light of the an- |nouncement that Canadian troops have landed at Hong Kong. Any- how, all Northerners are glad the Algonquins are coming east and expect there will be more oppor- tunities for them to get home on leave. Miners at eight Kirkland Lake gold mines were reported to be on strike, yesterday morning, following a break-down of the conference in Ottawa between the operators and heads of the Union. 5 Arrangements will be made for all. men in the Active Services both army and air force, to have five days' leave at Christmas and New Years, as many as possible getting home for the Christmas and the balance a week later.
