association and e ontsho quebec division of the cmttifi- a wise decision j dccisioir of 5puncil laat week to equalise insur ance placed on town property nmortg various locajrag- entspri a straight premium basis without taking into accognt either the local agents share of commission or the taxes paid by them seemed to us the only sensible way the question could be solved it is not the peoples right to know how much commission an insurance man receives any more than to know how much an oil company pays a garage for selling gas or how much markup a hardware store makes this as several councillors pointed out is entirely private business it is also not feasible to allot business on the basis of an individual firms tax payments for as reeve macla- ren summed it up the taxpayer is reimbursed for this payment in public services such as education sanita tion water and government and the more he pays the more benefit he derives from these services it is councils duty as was finally decided to make sure that adequate insurance with the proper co verage is carried and as far as the publicis concerned it doesnt matter a whit what agent writes the policy t is only fair play however for all agents to share in the business for public business in conducted on this basis and there is some justification for doing a bit more business wili the rvipr taxpayer when we take into account the large share of taxes which goes to education which is not completely a direct benefit to the individual but is dependent onthe number- of chil- dren in his family who can attend school
