Money running the wagon in front of the horse. Until now, in civilized countries, peoâ€" ple have been learning that health came be‘ore money. Here, in Timmins, are we now to learn that money comes beâ€" fore health because of governmental inâ€" differences to this town‘s health finance requirements? What a shock to suf â€" ferers, yes, and to the healthy alike if such is to be interpreted,. All this state of affairs is an extremely serious chalâ€" lenge to the Commission to press most vigorously upon the governmental cusâ€" todians for this town‘s present revenue allotment, from the taxes paid by the mines, to be increased to a more equitâ€" able‘s share. And also to press for lowâ€" ering of the tax exemption celling, or its elimination, on first $10,000 mines profit. The assessment Act is overâ€"due for reâ€"writing. Some of the clauses are far out of step and totally unsuited for toâ€"day‘s assessing of property at the mines. The want of money being the root cause underlying the affirmatiive deâ€" claration, by the town clerk, that Timâ€" mins can‘t touch the health program can only be looked upon as an insult to injury: Thus by reason of the town‘s black health record, being in the sinkâ€" Dear Sir:â€"According to news reports The Ontario Mining Commussion atsitâ€" tings in Timmins, heard Mr. Shaw, Timâ€" mins, town clerk, in behalf of Timâ€" mins Corporation brief _ make two diâ€" vergent statements. One was in reâ€" ference to the health program outlined by Hon. Dr. Vivian,. When the town clerk was emphasxq- ing the need for Timmins to secure adâ€" ditional revenue from new channels of taxation he told the commission that "on present revenue a health program outlined by Dr,. Vivian . . . could not be touched by Timmins.‘" What a revelaâ€" tion! Call it health finance exhausâ€" tion. The health of Timmins is now in a straitâ€"jacket and placed upon the sacâ€" religious altar of economic strugglesâ€" through want of money. It may perish there struggling for life‘s rightful share of taxes paid by the mines.
