AUG. ] 10, 1878. Reach " Bodger Day. The meeting of iho Reach council on the 2nd inst. was their Budget session. In the first place it will be seen hat the assessed value of the town- ship i in $2,282,980. But last year it was * 82,464,606 that is $181,626 Tess than last year. There are four- teen concessions in Reach and il they were all valued alike we have have got the assessment of only thirteen this year as compared to last. Of course it makes iittle diff] erence if the reduction in the assess: ed value be in equal ratio all over the township, but if not then there | would be & manifest injustice done | to those who were not lowered, that issupposing them to have been pro- portionally assessed before. But $181,626 taken off the nssessment of the township in one yearis a big fall, ~The payment of the following | sums had to be provided for, viz:-- | for general township purposes, | $3424.47 ; for poor, $1141.59; for county, $3943.36--making in all $8500.32, this would require a rate of 37} cts on every $100 of assessed value; there are certain unforseen expenses which must be provided for and the council deemed it prudent to levy 15 cts on every $100 of assessed wale for township purposes. This will raise a little more than is required and will consequently leave enough for unforseen expenses. But the general purposes of the County have also to be provided for and Reach's share of that is £3943, thie will require a rate of 17} cts on every $100 assessed value. The provision made for the indi- gent poor is $1141.50 this will re- upon a people by a .pack of incom- petent, covetous, pretty tyrants, styling themselves a Government, the Outario License Act is certainly a crowner, it caps. the climax for absurdity and contemptible mean- ness. In the first place the entire Act throughout its intricate ramifi- cations is a party. fraud designed and executed for the purpose of securing party support and for pil- fering the funds of the several cor- porations. The first. object of tho famous Act is to create in every riding throughout the Province additional positions of {trust and emolument for Government sup- porters, whether in the person of License Commissioners, Inspectors, Informers, Spies, Sneaks, and Tat- tlers,~~a very considerable army. There may be a 'Commissioner here and there who may have independ. ence enough not to crouch to any Government for. any position but there are not enough of these to have any effect on tho results, the appointing power took pretty good care of that. But the organization is not only 'a dangerous political engine but it is prodigally, extrava- igan{ and a decided fraud upon the several munici; inaglities. The Gov- ernment has had the insolence to step in and forbid municipal Councils from having anything to do with granting orfn any way regulating liquor liaenses even within their own that hue been delegated to boards of Gov- municipality ; power ernment creating, boards that they can make and unmake ina day and whose appointraent only holds good during pleasure, and everyone knows what Grit pleasure means. By the old acts Municipal Councils had the granting of licenses, they knew where they were most required, and the parties who were most worthy of the trust, and the Council being responsible to the electors so that if quire a rate of 5 cts on every $100 they acled unfairly or unwisely in assessed value. These rates together | granting or withholding licenses the make 37} cents for every $100 assess- | ratepayers could take them to task. value. Besides there is also the 'school pate which of course varies in the severn! sections. Not so with the Government em. i ployees who, being irresponsible as | far as the public is concerned, .deal' Rato per $100 out licenses with a most capricious hand. Again the system of inspec- tion by the old law was infinitely better was honorable and abeve board &nd than that of the present, it - that of itself was a vast improvement portant place. on the present farce. By the old law Municipal Councils had within certain limits the power to say how much should be paid for licenses and, whatever the amount was they got it all, less the Government duly, No. Value 1 $64,300 2 145.970 -- 3 112,750 82 cts \ ['y 90.750 39 cts 5 132,410 38 cts 8 199,215 23 cts y § 149,285 57 cts 1] 35,470 ve 9! 133,200 23 cts 10 189,980 35cts 1n 171,920 47 cts 12 « 188,220 20 cts 13 75,850 26 cts 14 59,400 m-- 15 194,340 23 cts 16 121,660 33 cts 17 29,400 50 cts 18 49,800 ------ 19 339,310 -- $2,262,280. It will be seen from the above that thers is a greatdifference in the value of of the several sections, No 8, the Manchester section, is the most valuable ; then comes No 15, Bantfield section ; next No 10, the Epsom section; then No 12, the Greenbank section, and soon. It "will also be seen from the above that No 12 Greenbank section pays only 20 cts on every $100 assessed value, this is the cheapest school in the township; Manchester, Purdy's and Saintfeld come next, they are each 23 cents on the $100; No 7 Prince Albert is much the highest being 5 cts on overy $100 assesced value. Parties wishing to find how much 4ax they nrust pay have only to add the general township rate, 15 cts; the poar rate, 5 cts; the county rate 173 ets; making in all 37} cts on every $100 assosed.

The village of Williams. burg, the municipal centre of the township, is dotted all over with proofs of the enterprise of our Cart- wright friends. "Amongst olhers the three. handsome new brick churches are conspicuous--the Church of England, the Presbyter- ian, and the Bible Christian. They are about to erect a handsome new School House. Places of business are increasing in numbers and im- portance. Mr. James Bryan's Ag- ricultural Implement agency is an important addition to the business facilities not of the village alone but of the township and neighborhood, here farmers can be supplied with everything they require in way of Implements and Machines. Mr. John Bryans' General Store offers a largely increased supply of every- thing in the grocery line, and also boots, shoes, &o., &c, addition to the merchants who have Mr baving completed two which These are in boen established here for years.

These are some of the advantages which this locality enjoys and which with many others' cannot fail in giving te that village and neighborhood a largely incfeas- ed influence and importance. There: is one master of much importance to that locality, to the whole township in fact, that is the utilizing of .the Drill Shed. The town hall which they now have is by no means in kesping with the wants and onward progress of that township. The present Hall and lot could bo sold ifor almost enough to thoroughly fit upithe Drill Shed making it one of the finest. town halls in the province Such a splendid large building would deserve the name of "hall." Were this properly fitted up 'for a ball many large and important meetings would be beld there which are now altogether out of the question, the township would certainly be largely benefitted!by the change both in- tellectually and socially. When large and important meetings were to be] held six or eight bundred people would not as now have tb be squeez- ed up within a space not large enough for two hundred, neither would their only alternative be that or a great unfinished barn like the Drill-Shed.
