In conversation re. garding the Victoria Telephone Co. Mr. Eyres said it was the intention to make every effort to get admission to Lindsay. For his own use, Mr. Eyers has several miles of line in operation and is adding to them as fast as possible. “They talk" said Mr. Eyres. of local lines breaking down. Well, I'll say that whether they break down or not I can save enough in my own business to build a new one every four years if it becomes necessary, and I'll come to Lindsay with my priVate line if the company does not get a franchise." To the remark that Lindsay people were undecided whether the company wanted to establish atelephone business here or merely get connections with the town, Mr. Eyres said “First we want to get con- nection; to what proportion our business extends here will depend upon how useful your citizens will find it to tare our instruments. At any rate you can be assured there is going to be telephone connection between Woodville and Lind- say.” as last. Mr. Ralph E. Cummings, so popular with theatre-goers last season, is again with the Cummings Company. He is a host in himself.

For this they proceed to tax about one quarter of the town, more or less, even as far out as the corner of Durham and Albert street, about three-quarters of a mile, and it seems they have some peculiar principle to guide them as to which lands they should tax. For instance, why is the south side of Kent street taxed from Wil- liam to Adelaide street and no tax on the north side of the same street, which is the nearest to the sewer? Russsell street. Durham street and Peel street are taxed from William street to Albert street. and Glenelg street and Melbourne street only from Cambridge street to Albert street- How is this? A block on Albert street between Kent and Russell streetâ€"this block is next to Kent streetâ€"is not taxed while the rest of the street to Durham street is taxed. Two others, Sussex street and Victoria avenue are taxed from Wel- lington street to Durham street. It seems the tax is made to go south from Welling ton street to Durham street while no tax goes north of Wellington street. On Ade- laide street there is no tax south of Kent street while they go a little over half a block north of Kent street. Surely the south end of Adelaide has reason to com~ plain that it is not included with its fellow streets south of Kent street. I think it is the oddest production that ever emanated from any town council, and the circular with a map of the town ought to be sold to some dime museum as a curiosity, and if the mayor and council could be added it would certainly be an unique exhibition, the great and only one of its kind.
