His Worship the Mavor said that it ! required an amendment to the constituâ€" tion before such property could be taxed, and he saw no way for it, but to have it discussed in the way Mr. Magee had so | ably pointed out. _4 _ | MORE UNTRAMMELLED. | At present ground was held as claimed | by the church, rominally, which in reality | was not church lpmperty. All property | should be equally taxed, even mechants‘ | stock and the Civil Service incomes. He | belreved if the subject were approached in | a fair spirit it would be found to be of advantage to all. Atall events, Ontario would benefit by it. With resâ€" pect to Government property, he thought that _ although we _ were favoured with theirpresence other places were not, and in a spirit of equality they should be taxed us well us others. If the present syciem was allowed to go on the roperty erampted from taxation would accumulate, and the burthen thrown ou one class of people for the benefit of anâ€" other would become too great to bear. He believed if people looked at the quesâ€" tion calmly they would get over any quaims of conscience they entertained in regard to the taxztion of certain property, and do away with such monstrous anomâ€" alies, He mentioned the case of a staff officer bere in the employ of the Impeâ€" rial Government, for paying pensions, who held a large property free from taxaâ€" tion because be was a Government emâ€" ployee. What interest had we in such matters ? The same staff officer, when bhe was Water Commissioner, came to him and coolly demanded that he in the City Hall, for the purpose of taking iato cousideration and discussing the ad visability of amending the assessment law, with a view to the taxation of church property. Among others present were His Worship Mayor Waller, Alds.

C. Cuemow said they were all aware that the subject was one at present occupying mens‘ minds to the exclusion of most others. He said it was almost impossible to carry out the Assessment Act under present circumstances. He be lieved it would be no hardship to tax church property. Every man would then support his church as he does now, and the irregularities of the present system would be done away with. One church would not gain at the expense of another and religion would be Mr. Jamss Hore agreed that the plan advocated by Mr. Magee was a good one, and â€" ould be a means of opening up the question. He found in looking over the Local Act that all public property was subject to taxation, except in numerous exceptions, some of whicfi he read from the Statutes. It was almost impossible on account of the numeyous clauses to â€" go through them all _. It required time, and he recommended that after a full discussion the Corporation, School Trustees, some of the clergy and representatives from each Ward compose a Committee. exemptions (Ir:::ht.er). He would next want his b for nothing. Hehoped the citizens would agree with Mr. Hope and appoint a committee to work the maiter up. (Ap plause).

(Applause.) ol ed one denomination, while it was a burthen upon another. He took the trouble of getting the City Clerk to make out _ a _ statement _ showing _ the relative .value of _church property exempted, both Catholic and Protestant. The reduction derived from the taxation bf Church property would be more apâ€" munuhnml,ubowoul& he hoped, ly prove to his hearers before he was done. In Ottaws, between Protestants 000,000 ex mb‘m u‘m.:â€"(blby:, Protestants, $530,000, so that as far as taxation was concerned both partic Mr. Har was the next speaker. He felt pleased at the remarks he heard, and believed at the present meeting it was useless to further discuss the miatter ; he approved of the Committe, although conâ€" sidering the statement read by the Mayor he thought jit,a work of supererogation. He believed that Mr. Hope‘s Committee would be too large, and as is usual in such cases the work would be thrown on a few, while if the number was limited every man would do a fair share of work. Mayor‘ Waruer thought that the affait was sj%ment in a very muddled condi tion. Ha had read a good deal in the pepers, but he confessed nothing that went beyond the surface. He had Snring the past few days given the matter serious oonn_xdona;: and jotted down a few facts and 'figm; he came to the conclusion that the taxation of public schools, separate or _ otherwise, _ would be a imistake, for. the scbools had no revenue which _ would bear taxa tion. The same held good _ of taxing ciuy property. As _ regards taxing churches it would not lessen the general taxation ; it would have the result of reducing to a great extent the number of church goers, and throwing an extra burthen on those who attended. Besides there was property that could not properâ€" ly be tuugucocdmg to the Act of Conâ€" federation. He reiterated that the taxâ€" ation of school or city property would not benefit any, but the reverse. He had heard some silly people say that the exâ€" emption from taxation of church property hmlv a sectional bearing, and that it favourâ€" AN INTELLIGENT DIS¢USSION GET hS WATER FREE. were equally aflected, hence there was no room for ill feeling in a free discussion of the facts. Of this the proror'.ion of schools and churches was as: follows :â€" Catholic Churches, $180,006, Separate Schools, $22,000 ; Protestant Churches, $161 300, Common Schools, $58,800. The ‘ total exemption on account of Catholic and Protestant Churches <was about $550,000. As regards the requirements of 1877 he would say that a rate exemptâ€" ing _ the churches _ from taxation would be less and bear more even:â€" ly on the taxpaying> people of the city than a lesser _ rate providâ€", ing for the taxation of Chursh property Concerning KnoxChurch, kindly furnished } lim by a member, which would fully bear him out in his assertion, the congregation \conaisted of 200 members ; its anuual requirements were about $7,000, and this | amount was subscribed by 125 members out of the 200.A member of the Knox Church who would be assessed for $1,000 imder the exemption rate, would have to pay $17 taxes, while under a rate impor ing a tax upon the church he would have to pay $21 ; or, supposing the whole 200 members to pay an equal proportion of the $652 that the ohure% would be assessâ€" ed for, the taxes of the members assessed for $1,000 would be $19 26 againat $17 under the rate exempting the church from taxation, and this would be the exâ€" perience of every other church in town. A certain portion of the members would have to be let off :Soot free, while the balâ€" ance whould Lave to pay the taxation. The same principle would equally apply to every church in the city, no matter of what denomination. According to the last census there were in Ottawa about 13,000 Catholies and 12,000 Protestants of all eenominations. _ He _supposed 12,600 Catholics and 11,600 Protestants were good Church attendants, they making a total of 24,200 who wou‘d have to pay beâ€" tween them the tax of $8,765, whf:h the churches would have to pay if assessed ; but the experience of Knox‘s Church was that out of a congregation of 400 only 125 were contributing members; and taking t.is 1s a basis of . calculatiou, out of the ?‘,20() that might be expecied to contriâ€" buze to the payment of the chursh taxes, there would be only 7,875 Catholies and 7,250 Protestants ; total, 15,125, thus, exâ€" empting over :10,000 church attendants, ‘exclusive of nonâ€"believers in any church, from paying any portion of the txe, and this can hardly be said to be This case came on for hearing at the Police Court yesterday. . _ _ _‘ _ N.

He showéd them these figures, in order t show the practical working of the system. His own feeling was that the piese of ground the chureh stood upon belonged to the Lord, and it would be an impiety to tax such property, (Great applause) and leaving sentimentalism out of the question, he thoughs the tax on church property would ino the tendency of throwing the burthen on religiqus people, and taking it from those who did not care for such a thing. Besides it would be a retrogressive act in an intelligent age. There were the charitable institutions. Would any one say that it would not be a curious piece of policy to give $200 or $300 to the Protestant Orpfluu,or St. Patrick‘s Orphans‘ Home, ’nd then go and take away oneâ€"sixth of it. (Applause.) He admitted that there was room for imâ€" provement in the Municipal Assessment Act, and approved of Mr. Hope‘s sugâ€" gestion of a committee. t _ Li It was moved by Mr. Horz, secondéd by Mr. Hay, that the Mayor and Corpoâ€" ration, and three citizens gom each Ward, be appointed as a Committee to consider the question of the revision of the Muniâ€" cipal Assessment Act, and especially the question of exemption of pmzofl.y from taxation, and draw up a petition to be preseute1 at the next meeting of the Local House. j By Waraâ€"Messrs.
