Intending o i SLYLY PUSHING THEIR OBJECT We see by a reference 10 the min. utes of the meeting of the Lindsay Union Schoo! Board, that Mr, II, L, Ebbels, of Port Perry, is exceedingly anxious to have the people of Reach taxed for the support of the Port Perry High School, that hie is putting him- self out of his way in begging the several School Boards to petition the Legislative Assembly that it be made compulsory on Counties' Councils to divide the whole territory in each County into as many High Schcol Dis- tricts as there are High Schools in each. Mr. Ebbels' communication to the Lindsay School Board had the desired effect and the Board signed the desired petition. Let the Public School Sections throughout the County at once peti- tion the Legislature . against this flagrant injustice to the country and insult 10 our Counties' Councils.-- Will the Pablic School Sections look idly on till it is too late and then be- gin to squirm. The iniquity will ceftainly pass unless the Pablic School Scétions present a determined front. 1f Public Sclool Sections would gtard against greaily increased taxa. tion, if they demur at building and maintaining costly educational palaces for the education of the children of the well«to-do in another section while their own little Scheol is already a burden "quite sufficient for them to bear, if they consider it wrong that they should be compelled to sup- p'y all the educational luxuries to,the children of those who can well afford to provide these for their own<children, while the children in muny of the Public School Sections receive the smallest educational crumbs, are in- tellectually famisbed in fact, if they starved and the funds squandered on our so=callld High Schools, price of i year, which this road will 'certainly se- cure, be an equivalent to the bonus asked? 'This is a matter entirely in the hands of the ratepay® pality and no otheis haye any right to in- | cord, terfere. The interest on the $25,000 at 6 per cent per annum will be $1,500. This will be puid annually for 20 years, and a sinking fund of 81,250 will algo have to be provided every year. annual payments, sinking fond and in- terest amount to $2,750. This will re. quire a rate of 91 cents on every $100 rty in the township; on --$300, $2.72 and ralable pro $200 it willbe $1.1 so on, adding 91 cents for every addi. tional $100 of property. is not quite 91 cents for $100. Parties rated at $1,000 would have to pay $9.04 railway tax ; parties rated at will pay $18 and so dn. But the sinking fund remain8 in the hands of the cotporation and they ill invest it year after year as it accumu- lutes, 'The annual amount of sinking fund is 81,250, the interest on which, at 6 per cent, 'would be $75 a year, so that after the first payinent each succeeding one will require $75 less tobe raised to meet the payment, Thus the amount of interest and sinking fund the first year would be $2,750 5 the 20d year would be $2675; the 3rd year $2,600; the 4th year $2,525, and so on, decreasinz 875 every year till the close of the 20 years: So that were it even possible that the property of the township do not increase one dollar during the twenty years (which is not at all likely) the average rate on every 8100 ratable property will Le Icss than 87 cents. Here the ratepayers have their bane and antidote before them, roatl be worth a rate of 67 cents on the $100 ratable property for 20 years, or $6.68 on the $1,000 and sv on? the township will certainly increase in value and the rate will be proportionally less - It we lived in Cartwright ard could get a station of this road for the bonus sought, we would snatch it with. ved by the road be worth $25,000 to the owusiip} Will the advance in the all farm uoe year after out a moment's hesitancy.
