. Leishman, Mrs. 7 153 77 i Northern Ontario's Oldest Weekly Newspaper HE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1955 Vol. 51; No. 23 Town Offers B ucke Fire Protection Will Fight Fires in Bucke Firemen Reverse Council Asks $1.500 Standby Fee Decision _Haileybury is willing to pro- vide Bucke township with fire protection. Council agreed' Mon- day evening to offer Bucke pro- tection at a cost of $1,500 stand- by charges, plus the cost of the fire calls. Council estimated that this would cost about nine and one half mills year, which the same number of mills that Hail- eybury pays for protecting the town. A meeting last Thursday eve- ning reversed a stand local firemen who earlier in the week had turned down the proposition of answering Bucke fire calls. Reconsideration .resulted in an almost unanimous vote of 17 firemen present to give Bucke the protection they seek. is of Both firemen and town fath- ers stipulated from the begin- ning that no protection would be considered before the arrival of a second fire engine to be purchased by Haileybury. The town was not prepared to "leave themselves wide open and with- out protection while off fighting Bucke blazes." The details Thursday's meeting were disclosed to coun- ceil by Councillor L. Simard, chairman of the fire committee. Instead of $1,200 basic rate, firemen are asking for $1,500 per annum payable in advance on a five year contract basis. In addition there will be a $25 per call for the truck charge. Mr. Simard revealed the bri- gade is asking for $6 an hour for the chief, $4.50 for captains and $3.50 for regular men with an additional $1.75 per hour for gonsecutive hours for all ranks. These rates apply not only for those. who actually fight the fire, but for all men who "an- swered the call, whether or not dispatched to the scene of the blaze. "They figure that for the nor- of mal call Bucke would have to pay some $120 to $125 to our firemen as wages," he said. "It is calculated that each call, ex- cept the fire is particularly bad, should take two hours with trav- elling time, fighting and putting equipment back in order." An additional aspect is the $200 to $400 a year which will have to be paid by Bucke for fire inspection purposes. Consider- ing all details, it should cost Bucke in the neighborhood of 2,500 an average year for pro- tection. Mr. Simard and Lorne Wise- man left the meeting shortly after 10 p.m. to present terms to a Bucke township council meet- ing. The meeting had already énded when they arrived in North _ Cobalt. However the delegation con- tacted Reeve Charles Courte- manche at his residence and told him of the counter-proposal. It has been unofficially dis- closed that Bucke township had upped its mill rate on fire pro- tection from five to nine in pre- paration for higher costs for "added services from Hailey- bury or otherwise." Councillor D. Millar pointed out that the new rates suggest- ed by firemen only cover "the mere operational costs" ~ and doesn't allow room for wear and tear on materials or equip- ment. 3ucke officials were mum on the new proposal. They would not intimate whether they would accept or turn down the propos- al and aquire their own fire- fighting services. But earlier during the council meeting at Bucke, Councillor Chester Hopkins had suggested that in view of the cost of get- ting fire protection, the whole question should be put to a vote of the people. Parking Lot Needed May use Hotel Lawn If the Haileybury Hotel can- not find decent parking space for its guests, it may be forced to turn its lawns into a parking lot. Hotel manager Jimmy Tim- mins told the council at its last meeting that- the parking situa- tion is getting increasingly seri- ous, and that the hotel will have to do something to solve it in the near future. Council didn't offer any solution. OPP SMASH TIRE THEFT GANG Provincial pdlice in Hailey- bury believe that they © have smashed an organized gang of tire thieves. Statements from a man already convicted of anoth- er offence, led to one arrest, and further arrests are expected. COBALT "INSTALLS METERS parking meters Cobalt will install meters next week. The will be installed on a trial basis by the company that hopes to sell the meters to the town. If the town council decides to keep the meters, Cobalt will be the first of the Tri-Towns to adopt the machines. Want Ads. Bring Results! COUNCIL BRIEFS Lots of Argument -- When Selling Lots.

The dinner was held to start a major fund raising drive which will be held during the next few days. The congregation of St. Paul's Anglican Church was warned by S. Mason, chairman of the can- vass committee, that the finan- cial picture is not good, and the future will not be bright if the canvass is not successful. Mayor H. A. Day gave a short outline of the history of the church in Haileybury, from the time the late Bishop Sullivan and a group of local Anglicans chose the present site for the church in 1894. Mr. Day remarked that many of the present difficulties are caused by the fact that after the 1922 fire, the church leaders re- built for a population compara- ble with that existing before the fire. Unfortunately the town's present population is still some 1,500 people less than in 1921. C. D.

The mana- ger of the Hatleybury hotel told the council this Monday even- ing, but while they didn't disa- gree, they couldn't see what they could do about it. Mr. Timmins told the council that the hotel is planning to re- pair its portion of the sidewalk in front of the hotel. He asked council if it would consider re- pairing the town's part of the sidewalk to match the hotel's. Council indicated that it didn't have the money, and that there are other sidewalks in town in worse shape. "The town sidewalks are 4 disgrace," said Mr. Timmins. "They are in the worse shape | have seen them in years. A woman finds it difficult to push a baby carriage in the town." Mr. Timmins said that com- pared with New Liskeard, the town is far behind the times#but Mayor H. A. Day said that New Liskeard is half a million dollars in the hole. Councillor N. Fleming that residents must be satisfied, or there would be more com- plaints. Mayor Day said that it had been the policy of the council to make residents on each _ street pay for the improvements their street. "There are other sidewalks 10 times worse," Mr Day said. "Two years ago there was a petition from residents on Rorke avenue where the water said to washes over a _ sidewalk that school children use." Mr, Day added that as far as taxpayers would taxes and bad sidewalks he could see, rather have low sidewalks, than good and higher taxes. MAGISTRATES COURT Magistrate E. W. Kenrick had to issue personal service orders against five district men who failed to appear in court and an- swer varied charges yesterday, but other residents "showed a marked anxiety to get the thing over with.
