That equals $2.86 per head. Ontario, if it raise six million, will be giving about $2.38 per head. Fi : But the Western Province will still be short One Million Dollars.

This applies particularly to towns which pay Ts '@ county tax. Yet this tax never represents a fair or just contribution to the Fund from men of moderate or large - means, Practically it is based on what the poorer then can afford.
