There is decided room for improvement. The present system is cumbersome, unduly expensive and tends to having many matters settled more by pul-l than on their merits. If the government is inclined to make any change in county councils, it cannot do better than go back to the system "which obtained some years ago when eighteen commissioners, two each from nine districts, did the work now being done by forty-six, and did it well. ` > F v i - ----.:..-u-gnu I At present the representation is [d upon "a basis of population. Appar- lv e'ntl'y the Sun favors basing the re- presentation upon assessment, rather thanpopulation. Were this adopted the assessment of -the smallest mun- icipality would have to be xed as the basis; to make the unit greater would create inequality in the distribution ;_ of control over nances. If this plan 9 were adopted it would mean an enor- J _ mous increase in the size of this a1- ` V ready unwieldy body. In Simcoe s County, Beeton and Matchedash are the smallest urban and rural munici- 5 pa-lities respectively. Each of these 5 has one representative, the same as Q . Alliston and Sunnidale, though, Allis- . ton s levy is $3920 compared with Beeton s $1540 and Sunnidale s con- S tribution is $10,240 as against $1245 3 paid by Matchedash. Supposing the $219,846 assessment of. -Beeton were E i u n used as `a unit, it is-easy to see the great voting power that would be given to Barrie, Orillia, Nottawasaga and Te-cumseth with equalized assess- ments 'of over three millions, and , other municipalities in proportion. ~t If representation, is to be by munici- c, palities, the one now in vogue is 8.] quite as satisfactory as one based on f( assessment would be. - Q, V , ,,,_-__._-_ .......y vu Envc auucuhLU. Unquestionably there is some un- fairness in the distribution of con- trol rover county taxation under the presentsystem of xing` the repre- sentation, though we have not noticed any undue advantage being taken of it in this county. How /does the. Sun propose to remedy the condition of . which it complains? ' AA .......u Va. uuuu a auuuuun 13 1118111185`; on the face of the statement. The condition existing in this one county is a condition that is paralleled in many other counties. It has existed for years and is growing worse with -passing-years. The condition is one thatshould have been remedied years ago and is one to which the present . government oughtto give attention.
