To the Editor of the Durham Chronicle, Dear Sir,â€"Re change oi marxci i scales. | This matter has been taken up; by the Council lately. a lot pur-: chased for $7.50, and at a special meeting of the Council last Statur- urdsay evening, a contract let for about $1160. Added to this will be the expense of removal of scales, erection of pens, gates, etc., or a total expense o>f probably $2100.! It is a fact that for some years! there has been a demand to ere-1 ate a change if possible to make‘ the accommodation lor weighinz stock and produce brought in by the farmers more easily aceessable and convenient. There is also the. imatter of drawing C0311, etc., up the hill, which 18 a severe test on the teams engaged in the work. However, this matter has been taken up by a couple of members of the Council in a manner which will probably not commend itself to the ratepayers. It is a Well- known fact last year our rate was inadequate to meet the demands of our finances, and that our school rate should have been at least two milbs higher, and which must be met by an increased rate this year. The ratepayers mu<t understand that there has not been any provision made for build- ing operations this year, and with a reduced assessment of a- bout $35,000, a necessarily increa s- ed school rate. ‘an overdrawn to ya account, and an unexpected 0,;- penditule of $2100, it does not take much hguring to see that it means at least a 30 mill rate. 1 think it is good financing that on..- town from year to year hho ..ld. have as near as possible an ...'e.- age rate. To hth: a 20-min rate one year, and a 30-min rate the following year, would certainly be :a number of years, and funds pro-3 lvided before the work is begun. I ;decm it advisahfe to lay Una mat- |ter before the ratcnayers at this: :time, as our rate will have to beg struck in about a month from! :now, and the town should not be : iignomnt of these facts. | Thanking you for wpace, I am, !

Why Take Alcohm a grave injustice to the ratepayers. If present condltions prevail, It simply means that the taxes for every ratepayer this year will lye about one-third higher than last year, or where the taxes were $10 last year ,it will be $15 this year.
