com ments upon the municipal situation in East last week you make the following statement there seems to be a good deal of dissatis faction with the Council be cause- the taxes high and we roads in a worse condition Now as the Era is usually well informed on municipal matters I am at a loss to understand how could make so misleading a statement with deliberate intent for If your statement means anything it is in tended to convey to your readers idea that the Township Council is P withdrew and so there responsible for the high tax rate this Wednesday next Jan They have several new features and every person should conic and hear the Lest musical program the season Con cert starts at oclock O0 SUTTON A meeting was held in the Town Hall for the nomination of Reeve and four Councillors on

Rifle held a shoot on Christmas day Mr Summer- year and with your permission I will endeavor to show as briefly as pos sible the cause of the tax rate and also to leal with your com ment as to the state of the roads It is quite true that the taxes are higher this year the total amount raised In this year in excess of last year being 1600 Of this amount was levied by the Co Council by the dificrerft School Sections for school purposes and the balance by the Township Council As a matter of fact the Township expenditure is a little less this year than last hut the Council Wool is Valuable This Year Sell to Hi thought it to have a little and John Taylor spent more cash on at the beginning their old home at of the year and so obviate the ne cessity of borrowing before the next

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT The Conversazione given teaching and pupils of Class on Friday nighl was a most enjoyable affair in every re spect A short program was given to commence with which was great ly appreciated by all present then followed refreshments daintily served by the pretty girl pupils of the class Hut the most enjoyable feature was the promenade concert in- which all participated with zest It was near- two oclock when the last of lite fifteen numbers was finished and ail who were fortunate enough to re ceive invitations were highly enthusi astic over the manner in which they had

born the other side of the roads they arc just as the other pays for the Supper far from the facts as ihoso the Con- to be held next week the taxes ihero has been of the electors and I think it would be very unfair to those men that your statement should go be- fore your readers unanswered Trusting that you will give the above statement the same prominence in your next i6soe that you gave statement complained of I remain yours respectfully H Reeve E Ed Note The very unjustly criticizes the Era in the above How were we to know what increased the taxes and whose fault that the roads were bad j Our columns are always for the explanations of public men but not to be abused for our generosity We have had more people East Township complain about high taies and had roads the past few weeks than for years and we simply without fear or favor made the statement because of these complaints The above letter ad mits both high faxes and bad roads It certaioly is better to call atten tion to what ratepayers consider grievances and thus afford ity for explanations than to allow them to go to the polls without a correct knowledge of facts a little less in making would also be more assuring

Whit church and East are re sponsible I have made several ef forts to get this piece of road im proved and very much regret that I was unable to do so before leaving the Council Some years ago ar rangement was made between New market and for the mainte nance of that portion for which they are jointly responsible The arrange ment was that Newmarket was to make the improvements and 10 would pay onethird of the cost but very little has ever been done- Two years ago I made an effort- get Newmarket to do something and ar ranged with their council to meet a deputation from E Council on the road with a v to devise some plan for improving the road he time appointed for the meeting the delegation was on he ground there was no one from oo for thj TRADE Including LADIES LACE FANCY COLLARS GENTS

the Mayoe and went out and looked over the road but the committee that had been ap pointed or the work never turned up so vc had to come with out doing anything Again last spring we instructed our Clerk to write the Newmarket Council and ask them to appoint a time place where we could meet them for the purpose of considering the matter but never got a reply so I think it is very unfair to attempt to hold the Council responsible alone for the condition of the Town line Outside of the two cases I have men tioned it is generally admitted that been substantial improve ment of the roads throughout the Township and this without any In crease in the tax rate At the nomination meeting on which was largely attended and where the work or the year- fully word of fault found with any work done by the Council excepting the work- near Sharon which I have referred to above The press Ik continually express regret that better men arc not will ing to enter municipal affairs I dont think there anything Grange about it Men that do their very best to guard the interests of the people whom they serve un fair criticisms from men who axes to grind and Interest to serve and are thwarted in
