Granting Bonuses. â€" The law passed at the last session of the Ontario Lesris- lature, and which came into force on the first of November, will practically shut out the granting of bonuses by municipal corporations. Municipahties are pro- hibited from giving a bonus to a manu- facturer in any town to luove to another town. And a bonus by-law will in all cases in the future have to be carried by a two-thirds vote of all the ratepayers who are entitled to vote on such a by- law, and no aid can be granted to a firm if works of a similar nature are already doing business in the place.
