Mr. Editor: As the period for our municipal election comes around, the' public h. ?ins to discuss the affairs of ] the town, the constitution of Council, j ( Ac. Tn many t?sp*cts. frequent ek-: tions are an evil, hut from one point of; view they arc of advantage?tin* people ' would forget their inter s' in. and re-1 spmsihility for, the administration of1 oublic affairs, were they not reminded of it by being called upon to exert their high prerogative of choosing their rulers : once io a while. The communication of '"Senex," in your issue of two weeks fineo no donbt met with tftc approval of a majority of our citizens ; but, while the ticket he advocated may deserve all he says, al-, low the writer to suggest the obligations of the town to the present (Joun-1 oil. and to f/inm jr.r rr.-<lrc(ion. Upon the threshold of their arduous and thankless duties, the present Ooun cil found themselves confronted with two matters calling loudly for attention. First, no one knew what amount of ..TV ?? r'... ,,.?a in mrr>nl:il.iiin !lll i "lUWIJ Vy'lnrin ? ...... ...

That is something done, Mr. Editor. Now, as to capacity to deal with this huge financial problem, the Council which was able to devise the | means of discovering the amount of; "Town Hills" out, may be able to do i more The method of disposing of this ! , debt is simple, as wo will attempt to 1 demonstrate Inter. Second?tlio next question, with , which the K ?llin?;s G'onncil had to deal,: was this: The taxpayers who always; j ilisoharped their oblisatinns to the corporation. complained that there was un , unknown amount of taxes iu arrears, that Council would not enforce its pay mcnt, and the threat was mauo mac, unless aft were made to pay. none would What did the Council do? The Clerk was ordered to prepare all accounts | against <l(>liiir|uci)ts, those accounts were put into the hands of the Town Attorney, with instructions to collect by all methods known to the law; the matter j has been innluil. and the Rollings Council will show their constituency that all has been done that could be done ; and , their successors will find this matter removed out of their way. The present Council will be able to .show more real, tiona fuh\ thorough. uv/ut work done for the town, than nny administra'ion since the war. This is salil without any intention to dispar- 1 age others. (We hope no one will think the writer a member of Council?hr in nut.)

Ibr one year, to devise plans !<>r raising our ti'Wii towards ' the top" again. The debt, represented by the town bills, can be paid in but one way?la/ taxation As the corporation is limited to the collection of only SO.000 per annum, by taxes on property, expenses must be curtailed, or the power to tax increased. Presuming that if is almost impossible to curtail expenditures, recourse must he hnd to the second alternative?the legislature nm*f ho asked for increased power to tax?tiro milt* extra, each year, would retire a considerable sum . por annum.

Funding will not ijii. becau.se the holders of the "bills' would prefer tliem to the bond*--they fia<* for money. and arc as binding ?? bonds, which have not this negotiable quality. It will not do to .Lorn.?e money to retire tho bills, because such a course would entail upon the town the necessity of! paying interest, commissions, kc , upon 1 a large debt. Taxation is the only | way out of the difficulty ; with which must be combined strict attention that' no neic bills be issued in place of those paid. Having had no consultation with the parties interested, nor lo I know' whether it will meet their approval, but, nevertheless, wc nominate the following J liobnf kor intkndant. J. C.
