municipal clerk sent out a notice of court of revision of assessment of frontage for the waterworks bylaw in which is recited in paragraph 2 this statement vthvcostof tho work is 70000 of which 24000 is to be paid by the cbr- pofation on december the 30th the clerk pub- halted a notice of registration of the waterworks bylaw in which it is stated that 35000 is assessed against the properties benefitted and 35000 is to be assumed by the munislpn corporation the ques tion naturally arises as to what authority is respon sible fof the change the people voted on the by law in the former division jn which the municipal corporation a 24000 the changed plan is certainly favorable to the ratepayers who are entitled vl pay frontage tax but it militates against those whose properties are not benefitted wai chango legally made 1 certainly was not referred to the tatcpaycra for their approval m why not a waterworks commimlont i v now that we have a hydro commission why not provide for a waterworks commission the hydro- t electric commission of ontario deemed it desirable y that the hydro interests in aetonwith an investment of 20000 to 25000 should preferably be admin- istered bya commission and requested acton muni- clpal council to pass ja by-law- providing for the election of commissioners the waterworks system iv a which an expenditurb or over 100000 has been v mde could
