No public interest demands a chauge, un the contrary grout reason exists that there should be none. How many ratepayers have exatuiued thefinantialsgtalscutteitt issued on Mon. day lust? Or compared it with Ind yvars? Friends of the town on comparing these stateutetttsare bound to mum lo the conclusion that the present cmmvil has done well. Last years council 1sorrowed 81500 f0r4 Inns. and $500 for 2 mos. this year’s got along with ttrtilil for 2 mos. and 8400 for 2 mos., a differ- fncc when equated of nearly 45 times ess. The rate of taxation we all know has been materially less (nearly fuur milk) and all have been animated to keep down expenditure to the lowest efficient point, and they have succeeded. This is evident. when it, is seen that 1800 Coun- cil had in Ical, and taxes $6709, 182'? council had $9l less. With $91 less to start with, over 4 times less borrowing. they have given us a rate nearly l mills less than tlu-is- predecessors. This is a record to ‘w pmud of.
