interview by council regarding bheep and dog aot toronto march 18 1018 dear sir following the i a tew days ago in wbioh memoers oi yortr council and yourself were good enough to discuss the sheep and dog act with me 1 submitted your views to the min ister sir william hesrat and thought you might be interested in subsequent consideration given to the subject the two points which i understood yon to empbaslre moelwwp wa ehonlwrp of counclle eothat the owner of tovtn and village dogs which often do the most barn would share the cost of sheepprotectlbo and second that any land wbioh doea not contribute in taxes to the township riized iboold not have abi the recomrnendbtlono careti triday fa6rnog a poettag cfllturwoynrtltteb hlch fr claims i ve tentioa minister prprhised torsive both these ullttentioii on 6f-tmugri- iraiioaaltf cstdendtmavtin0tl field adpreylo 1im fie iialtdnwmpn- laslred both tbe the only opposition tliat will aribe to the increased tax on dogs will come from dog owners who will now have to pay2 and according to the sex of their canines there has been a demand for some tax that will perhaps load to the lessoning of worthless dogs running at large and whether the new tax will result in this desirable reduct ion or not it will at least bo pro ductive of an increased revenue in accordance with the higher cost of living ratio at the hoard of trodb meeting on monday evening it was decided to recommend to tho counoil that a loan of 10000 be made to mr h corku to assist him in reestablish ing his woollen mills recently des troyed by firo wo believe this recommendation will meet with the hoarty npprovnl of every ratepayer and that the council aro justified in submitting a bylaw for the above n mount mr corke has built up u laiie business since coming to georgetown and has proved himself a thorough business man worthy of the confidence of bur eitizons the regulation of profits by legislation owing to a rightly inflamed public opinion now seems desirable were it not so and were the sentiment not universal tho proposition would never have ap peared in tho speech from the throne war has made necessary a readjust ment of what is and what is not a reasonable profit on invested onp- ita and tho accumulation of mill ions of profits will rovort to the government in the shape of taxat ion or limitation of profits will bo effected in some other manner the profiteering in foodstuffs has prob ably given impetus to this legislat ion as it was felt that the poor were suffering unreasonably by high prices while others added millions to thoir accounts that savored too much like tho price of blood it is admitted now by the government that womon may bo olassed with human beings and ac corded tho chief priveloge of hum ans to east a vote that shall help redress the grievances of the coun try and that havo woighed heavily on women for many generations for this result the women alone are entitled to uroclit they have fought in season and out of benson for the right to help shapo their destinies through the laws that govern them and by which tiey were too often despoiled of thoir liberties by the enforcement of med ieval legislation women will per haps not at once adapt themselves to the new conditions but they will sooner or later take as aotivo a part in tho scieneo of law making as tho most ardent suffragette would de sire and when they do man will have to reason why for hell havo to do or die politically speaking of course uri iuxqd a inr fni and atrongly emphi points aabove mentioned he inform ed the foinrnitftelbat one tswrjsmpin bicqppffty vaa under a decided hardship by reasoned tbe tact that a considerable acreage had been withdrawn tax- attpnanot was- fieinfe used saaabeep ranchywhleb both deprived-thetown- sbipof taxbi they had a fight to expect and made them on ihe other hand liable for damages in the casool ipse- of bheep he urged that land so herd should ne put in tli ssafe ofess las highways and tbe township he relieved from- any claims for damages occurring on such lands he pointed out that it was a de oided hardship and injustice for small townships to have to bear the claims when they might aggregate very large amounts because of the fact that a large number ef ebeep were kept in a small area he farther pointed nut that very often the damage was done by dogs from towns and villages and if the act wore changed so that sheep losses would be paid by the connty this would be assess ed back against tbeso municipalities in stead of being carried entirely by the township municipalities in reply to these recommendatlona sir william hearst said that he had al ready given the points raised consider able consideration he recognized that tbe township to which reference had beep made might be under a consider able hardship and thought there was much justice in the point which dr nixon bad raised at the same time he pointed out that the purpose of the act under discussion was to encourage the keeping of sbeep and be feared ihe foll owing nut of the recommendation wonld not serve this purpose he intimated that tbe two polntb involved might well be considered separately namely the question of exemption and tho question of sheep protection and damagen he announced that a special committee was to sit daring the recess and they were to consider the fnll question ol tax ex emptions the exemption in keqneting township could be considered along with others at that time and dealt with in ac cordance with the facts after the com mittee bad bad an opportunity of going into it fully aft to the other recommen dation in regard to aasossing sheep 1 escs against the county as a whole fie ex- brassed himbelf as personally favorable e felt however that the matter had not yet been sufficiently discufleed by all parties who would be affected by a obange which was somewhat far reach ing in its efteots under these circum stances he felt that it would be well to leave ibis matter over for another year at least in order to allow for full coneid eratlon but be had no doubt that it wonld be brought up later on and unless objections not at present forseon were raised it might lie very reasonably adoped it seemed to mo that you wonld be interested in the consideration above set out and i have pleasure in advis ing yon accordingly yours very truly w bert roadhonse
