Mr. Ross, Ly citing u few powerful hots. showed how greet are the tuwritiee, undo by the Govertunent in behalf of the Scott Aet un.l how much more homily the burden of euioree. meut fulls upon the Province than upon the municipalities. For instance. last year the municipalities received tor tines under the Scott Act 894,000. They contributed to the cost of the ettloreetttettt ot the Act but $14,000.
