At this meeting of the electors it is usual for the annual fin- ancial statement to be distributed. 1 ask that this statement be careful- lly examined and our debenture in- debtedness of this year be compared with the years 1901, 1902 and 1903. it this is done I do not think the‘ meet obtuse will not realize the fact that there is a growing increase as the years advance. and as weli that the year's deficiency in ordinary ex-1 penditure over receipts increased as well. Etheso facts, conjoin d with 3‘ high assessment at a .very high rate, gives at this time foot. for serictts thought and to a grave- suspicion that there may be some grafting be- ing done, and that the individml el- ector is paying the shot. It 18 all Iwry well .to point to the miles of ‘grnnolithic walks that have been built throughout the town as an ev.- deuce of progressive statesmanship but it is as well to remember that In every case our debenture indebted- ness is. increased and the outlay is not out or current rchuue. 'r‘rcm the great interest evinced by some of our Councillors in encouraging pe- titions. and especially the frequent adaption of the initiative plan ct cen- struction, there appears to be a growmg feeling that the scheme is not entirer disinterested.
