With tegard to the taxes for County and Townehip purposes we do Lot remem ber their ever having been in sa satisfactory condition, "The sums to be provided for are as follows viz: Lot $2244 lor general County purposes 4nd $907 for County School purposes -- 3: $402 for geners!

B we have cach in the treasury amonnting some $1400 go that the amount really to te Provided for all purposes is a' ot $8,500. The total value of the Real and Per- tonal property and taxable income $1,006,869, so that the County rate for general and school purpuses will be 3 cents on the $100, the Towaship rate wi be four cents and the Poor rate three cents on the $100, making in all 39 cents o every $100 of ratable property in the township, and this would be all we would bave to pay (except the special school rates) were it not for this eternally bung ling Railway--that wil! cost us over 62}c on the $100. if the Company be in a po sition to claim the $30,006 ere another year goes round--1we should judge that they wont. The $20,000 already given in likely sll that they will ever be in a position to claim. This is now $20,000 worth o debentures which we have handed over fo the Company, and we bave still $10,000 worth more to give them to make up the $30,000 ; this, with the interest, should jt ever bave to be paid, will amount to £48, 900, quite a formidable sum, but we would amoun it have consented to give that had we got the road when garding this flexible line, made only to be broken or to catch the stray Jollars of the Corporations through which it passes. The Directors appear to be much more anxious to obtain the Debextures than ihe road. -- We bave no hesitancy in asserting that in our opinion, there bias been more duplicity and trickery practised by the schemers and plotters of this enterprise than evcr before come unler cur notice in connection with any other work of this nature, and (he members of the Council of the town of 'Whitby, who have been the means of showing up some rather ugly pranks, de- serve the thanks of the community for at least opening the eyes of tLe public to the 100.
