Psar Siz,â€"In the present troubled conâ€" dition of municipal affairs as recently so ably exposed by your journal, it behooves every ratepsyer to add his mite in the way of information, with a view to extrication from our present difficulties. All admit there is something wrong, but writers vary in the remedy they offer for the righting of this wrong. For my part as a ratepayer | do not hesitate to say that any person in particular is blamewerthy for the present bungled rtate of affaurs ; but a slap all around might be advantageously given, without in any way injuring any party at the expense of another. Irepeat that the Municipal Corporation is to blame, princi: p.ly, and the Board of Trustses is also wrong to a great extent, and the Collector and City Chamberlain as individuals are greatly to blame for being romi-“htir duty as officials holding responsibl@Â¥ituaâ€" tions, in not complying with the requireâ€" ments of statute in the performance of their duties. In the first piace, to show that the Corporation is to blame, I would quote sections 103 and 104 of the Ontario Assessment Act : * teenth of December in each year, or on such day in the next year not later:â€" than the first of February, as the Council of the municipality may appoint, every Collector shall return his role. to the Treasurer or thubaln,:‘, and shall pay over the amount payable to such Treasurer or Ch un berlain, spod&':iins separate column on his roll how m ot the whole am unt paid over is on account of :oc‘l‘:‘:opanw Lo P W LAKXs xk hra ~tha paid over is on account of each separate ?u; and shall make oath before the ,mrorChmbuhinthauho date of tbodomndofmmt and transmission of statement deman i of taxes, re xi.r-d by sections ninetyâ€"four and ninetyâ€" in each case, has been stated truly by I;imintbnll. f | Section 104.â€"In case the Collector fails or omits to collect the taxes, or any porâ€" fio.wbythodqappoinudorwbo appointed as in the last preceding section mentioned, the Council of the city, town, village, or township may, by resolution, suthorize the Collector, or some other perâ€" son in his stead, to continue the lery and collection ef taxes ; but no such resolution or authority shall alter or affect the dut of the Collecter to return his roll, or llullâ€" in any manner whatsoever, invalid«te or otherwise affect the liability of the Collecâ€" pcorhhmwu. _ It will be nonflunflntncuonthn the Collector should have the rolls in his po..donntbourliutpo.iblo moment ufter the Court of Revision sits in May, -ynohtufthntbfivuol’.lulfiin orâ€" der that al taxes m«y be paid in by the :::hboeu&t:rohln nu;yu;- in.gwr t date Ou-pondon ve it eir whhwmhtboutumoflho rolhupwthhtoflfobrwyoflhemo- caeding year ; but beyond that time they have zo-rhkfil as to whether the rolle remain in the Collector‘s hands or not. _ The statute then demands that the rolls shall be in the hands of the collected or not.

In estimates the school Act specifies certain amounts for certain purposes, and all orders for these amounts must be duly honored by the Chamberlain.â€"The amount raised for teachers‘ salaries by estimate cannot be devoted to the payment of any other claim than that for which it is inâ€" tended. _ The Government grant is anâ€" other furd intended exclusively for the payment of teachers‘ salaries.
