That the Municipal Council of wha dof defy competf whidly Snejessing busk ness and p fospert 3 the Reach understand that the principal cause le (he comfort and convenience of. the | Of difference between the corporations, ig the proportion which. either corporation shall assume, sud be held liable for, of the debt incurred in the year 1868, to aid aod as a bonus to the Port Whitby and Port Perry Railway. That for this pur- pose a By.law was submitted to and voted oo, and approved of by a majority of the ratepayers granting the sum of Forty Thousand Dollars as such sid or boous upon certain conditions and with certain 8 | restrictions as set forth. in said By-law a copy of which is hereunto snnexed- 2x80. That saig By-lgw, before being voted upon by the people was recemmend- _| ed to their favorable consideration, by its advocates--chiefly upon the following grounds: 1st, that, the building of the Railway would result in Port Perry be- coming a town of considerable extent and Pp: That in so becomiag the amoun| of ratable property would be vast- ly increased, that in proportion as it did 0 a greater proportion of the taxes levied to pay off the debt would be borne by the portion of the municipality receiving the greatest benefit, and thus decrease the burdens of those parts of the township par- taking more remotely of the benefits ar- ising from the cons'ruction of said Rail: way. (20d.) That the princigal advocates for the passage of said By-law were residents of Port Perry, that they uncertook in be- balf of the ratepayers' of said village to continue as a part of the township of Reach as it stood previous te the incor- poration of said village as a separate municipality, and ttat according to the ratable value of the additional property to be created by the influence of said' "Rail. way, that they undertook aud agreed om behalf of said village to pay the same rates as those paid or levied upon the other portion of the township of Reach, 3 That said agreement and undertaking 1s expressly referred to in the third clause of said By.law, which agreement and under. takiog was ratified by the all but 'unani- .mous vote of the ratepayers resident with in the limits of the present corporation of Port Perry and was oné of the 'chief | in- held out 10 and understood by other ratepayers by whose votes the final passage of said by-law was effected. 3ro. That in behalf of the stownskip of Reach it is urged that the municipality of Port Perry has now become a separate municipality notwithstanding the agreement above referred ta, that it now seeks to evade and shirk from bearing its just pro- portion of the Railway debt; by the crea-- tion of which 'it has received, and will continue to receive advantages manifold more than those enjoyed, or likely to ac- .|crue to the township of Reach--Thai while Port Perry proposes to pay its share of said Railway debt on the basis of the assessment of 1871, the date of its incor- poration ; ibe council of Reach repre- sent that a settlement of said debt on such a basis would be contrary to agreement as expressed and understood by the people of Reach and set forth in the 3rd Section of the Railway by-law, That in the opinion. of said Council a just aud equitable basis of settlement of the fair proportion of said debt to be borne by the gorporation of Port Perry would be as follows, viz ; That the sum of 874, 943 represented the assessed value of the +. | veal and personal property i in Port Perry in 1868, the year in which the railway the value of rafable property previous to opetus from the building ¥, which impetus, and rate 1 of value up to date of incor= « poration, 'and mainly derived from the ine curriog of said Railway debt, is shown by the assessment of' 1869 being $57,420, in 1870 $112,570 and in 1671 $115,755, showing an increase of value on Iort Ar | perry property of about 53 per cet, whereas the assessed value of A iE of Resch Tepresent an increase of less . | than 6 per cent, 8 shown by' the figures ds certified in the Et Schedule of the assessments of the several municipal- ities of Reach and Port Perry. 4a. The Maonicipal Cosmet of Reach respecifally represent to the Court of Arbitration that 'the above 'referred to Railway By-law snd Railway debt were: pudded sod nciied walaly for the benefit of said 4 of Port Perry, that' "2s the ptipeipal incrose ved | Dy~law was passed--also represents | of value of ratable. property. has already been shown to have taken place in the Port Perry section, during the three years specified in fhe Schedule, the Council of | Reach bold, and aflirm, that such prosper-- ity. will (rapidly. increase now that. the Railway has got into. operation, and that Port. Perry should be held lmble to pay such a portion of the Railway debit as, will be proportionate to the benefit. received That as the by law covers a period: of Twenty years, dating from 1868 10 1888 the portion of the Railway deb to be. as- signed to Port Perry should be based on the assessment of . that municipalisy for 1878, the assessment of which year fa be cajculated from 1871 to 1878 at the same ratio of increase as shown to have taken place from 1868 10 1871. 51H. The Mugicipal Council of Reach further respecfully submit that clause three of the railway by-law has beep con- firmed sud made statute law by the en. actment of 33 Victoria, Cap. 39, Sec. 2 by the enactment of which Statute, Cap. and Sectivn Port Perry eannot be permit. ted to evade the payment of a just and equitable share of said Railway debt as is set forth and specified in said, clause of} said Railway by.law, and such just and equitable proportion is represented and set forth in section 4 of this document. 67, The Municipal Council of Reach respectfully represent that the above rep- resentations do not fully set forth all mat-- ters in dispute and request that permission may be granted them to supplement these by whatever may be further desmed nec- essary lo complete their claims in all mat. ters in dispute between the corporations of Reach and Port Perry. 7TH. Finally, the Municipal Council of Reach respectfully draw the 'attention of the Court of Arbitration fp sections 62, 63 and sub section of section 64 of the amended acts respecting municipal iosti- tations of the previace of Ontarie, (See Wills' Compilation of 1870) us conclus- ively setting forth the basis of arbitration and amounts to be mpportioned of the Railway debt, to the respective corpora tions of 'Reach and' Port Perry, should the Court be of the opinion that the meth- od of seitfement, as proposed aod set forth in the preceding clause of this . doc- ument' be deemed citber unsatisfactory or impractable.
