evening our familiar faces got away to an excellent start mayor pate oe cupied the ohair and in his inang ural address stressed the need of the strictest economy in all de part m en 1 9 and tbe necessity of keeping the tax rate as lov as pos bible it seems btrange that the average ratepayers will insist even m times like this tbroagtr which we are passing ob public improve ments and then criticize the council for extravagance it should be remembered that the ooauoil is composed of public spir ited men who give freely of their time to act as oar servants and are placed in their position to carry oat the wishes of the citi sens if we have extravagant ideas and inbist on them being carried out we have only ourselves to blame for the high tax iate financial bbtobks dealing with

noteworthy much of the credit for the improved conditions must go to tbe late president mr d b hanna lor whoso removal not many can as yet see any good reason everything goes to show that the formerf president wan making progress in putting tho national hoes on a sound position there is very little reasoo to dis believe but that they wil make good if sir henry thornton is tho man it ib hoped and believed ho will be the least the dominion gov ernment can do is to see that the new tax on receipts which went int6 effect on january 1st is that its conditions are better known than they are business men nor any- others shoujd be held respon bible for the working of another system of taxation with which they have not been made acquaint ed and unless the government is prepared to thoroughly advertise the intricate application of tho new tax in a public manner through tbe press of the country copies of the law should be far nished to all those who do busi it ib time the indignation of the business public vented upon the government for its neglect in this matter tbe last tew years the most intrroate and harassing changes have been made in tbe imposition oljtaies wbioh the officials tbemfelyee do not readily underatandand the taxpayers of tbe country are fined ir they fail to understand them and innocent ly violate tbem a system of publicity should be adopted in re
