To the Editor of the Gazette : Sinâ€"After the exposures we made I a, last December of the manner in which some of the branches of our municipal institutions were being handled, not one of which was either denied or Cullll‘il- dicted, the people expected some radical changes in our administration. But a brief‘ glance at the auditors' report for 1913, recently published, will show how these expectations have been realized. “'0 shall conline our present remarks to the poll tax question alone, and will not go further back than the last two years, 1912 and 19l3. Take the report for 1912. On December 7 the collector, it seems, paid the treasurer “poll tax for 1911, $3," and on, l)0001nbcr 3rd. 1913, J. Jones paid in “ poll tax (or 1912, $1,” n sum total for the three years 1911, 12 and 13 of $4. Does that amount represent the full sum he collected for those three years ? Mr. Jones is the possessor ol a keen scent for infractions of the game laws. He can smell the pelt of a rat trapped or a bass landed during the close season for miles. ’mt he can meet men who ought to pay poll tax or dog tax, every day and at almost any hour in the day, without being aware of their presence. But this is easily accounted for. In prosecuting poachers there are certain fees and pleasant outings, whether he succeeds in getting a con- viction or not, which come in mighty handy ; while in the latter case he gets nothing extra for doing his duty. llis pay goes on whether he is Working or not. He stands in no danger of any monkeying from his understrappers, the council, and, he does like to stand in with those who, like himself, have no financial interest in the village. “'0 lind that there are thirty-seven names on the manhood franchise voter's. list of Fenclon Falls for the year~1t~ll3 every one of which; with the possible exception of three or four who have reached the age limit. is liable to a poll tax of $1.50. Mr. Jones knows this, and - all he had to do was to take the list of 1 names, call upon them and collect the money. He knew where to find every one and could have done the whole thing in a couple 0.! hours. Can the Council or Mr. Jones explain wlrythis was not have arloptcdra now appears that the owners of dogs now have to call on the clerk, paytheir dole. tar and get a tug. 'l‘hisof course inl.â€". poses an extra duty on the clerk, but what of that ‘2 He is only a connnon man, and it relieves the Shouldch of the redoubtuble Mr. Jones of one of his arduous duties. At the lastnominMion one of the new aspirants blow off a good deal of gas in assuring the electors that if elected he would see to it that every servant of the Council did his duty, and one of his first official acts was an, attempt to get a two-weeks holiday for the constame But at the same nomination the same party said that every day the constable was away he paid him $1.25 for perform- ing his duties ; so that it is not making a very heavy draft on the imagination to assume that in trying to get him the holiday, love for his friend was not the only object he had in view.
