These payments of course included interest from year to year and was the right, honest and proper way of providing for the payment of the debentures. This would have raised in twenty years $156,960; the sum required and no more; but had our Whitby friends adopted the go-as-you-please method of our great bylawist they would have raised the comfortable little sum of $108,000 or $41,040 more than was required. The Cartwright $20,000 by-law too wag got up on the principle for which we contend. 'An 'equal annual levy was provided for" of $1,744 during the currency of thie debentures, these payments included the interest. This would raise in all $84,880 the exact and proper amount required.

The writer charges petitioners with attacking Mr. A. Miller, of Seagrave, for plowitg and scraping' in front of Mr. Carr's property to the very great damage of Mr. Carr. Now, Mr. Edi- tor, "Onlooker" does not deny. Mr, Miller's having done so nor can he deny the charge; He offirms that on petition (No. 1) seven out of the sixteen petitioners were not ratepayers, three of them being non-resi- dents and one living in Muskoka, This, Mr. Editor, is false, - I charge Mr, # Onlook- er" to point out one nme on the petition they so who 1s not 'a ratepayer or one "that is liv- ing Muskoka.
