Municipal World has a local application No one wants to pay a larger tax bill than is necessary but on the other baud the municipality with a low rate is rarely a desirable place to live in The meaning of a low tax rate is usually bad roads kept streets and an inferior character of public service By means of municipal or gan at ion mod urn improvements or rather modern necessities can he cured in a general way for less than the Individual working alone can ob tain it It is a means of economy in securing sewerage water supply fire protection and other common ne cessities It not the business of councillors to starve any of these services in order reduce taxes but rather to see that the people obtain the best value for the available upon them There must be efficiency as Well as

see farmers tilted about future as they have been in the past When a farmer ckn by Bradford market fat hogs profit of his grain to Ic per bushel and return trip bring with him a loan of coal which he buys there a ton cheaper in any other place And yet in the face of this be says and if the farmer per sists in teaching this market in compelling him tp travel upon a is not his own and in return or such privilege must pay that- mighty five or ten cent piece- whichever the charge maybe Now another thing he keens clear of and does not mention and that is the large sum of money we have at our disposal before touching a dollar of the township funds Prom the County of York we receive two thou sand dollars for the building of a bridge arid also one thousand from the County of for the same white the Village of Brad ford gives five hundred dollars to be spent in the best interests the road besides a large amount gra tis- work which is already dope Yet in spite of these facts Mr- McKay terms it a scheme and suicid al policy Further Mr McKay states that we have had no estimate of this swamp part which is only forty rods including the large- bridge This is incorrect We have had it surveyed soundings taken and an official estimate given before any work was done whatever ami to my mind very careful steps have been taken since the road was first in progress and in no way have the ratepayers been lightly looked upon am sure if Mr McKay was so anxious about Hast welfare as he pretends to be would be highly pleased yet it strikes me he has deeper emotions than these I believe it is his own dear land he is anxious about If he thinks the opening of a road to Bradford will hurt Newmarket it might- as well receive the blow first as last for these things must occur in an enter
