The North American migratory Committee (Continued from page 2) fous deviate from the system yozue if revenue was to be increased Was it not strange that they did not some equalization then? The variation in rates now in force would require an army of bookkeepers keep track of and cclleet them. The commission had constructed water mains all over the town and trusted to luck to bring in ithe revenue from them. Dr. Kaiser, as a proper solution the present financial problems of the waterworks system, proposed that the water rates be increased, and that an equalized rate of 11%:¢ per foot he charged for a period of 20 years, at the end of which time all taxation should cease. It was un- fair. he held. that some ratepayers should be paving for 10 years after those who were assessed for 20 years had ceased paying. What would become of this mosey collect- od in the ten additional years: would it 20 back into the town treasury. He did not think it was fair. He would have the Council decide what was a fair and just rate to charge the ratepayer for any water main asked for and deemed wise to con- struet. the ddditional cost per foot! being charged to the general expen- diture of the town. Dr. Kaiser point- ed out that of the 158.000.0000 gal- lous of water pumped yearly by the towa, the factories used half and the deyise to tu in system | lhe fairest 'way was to levy a tax on all old mains and new ones alike Coun. R. Moffatt, while not oppos- ed to the equalization plan as pro- posed. pointed out that if there were not in vogue a proper system of hookkeeping even the expected nine or ten thousand additional revenue would soon disappear. He went over the receipts and expenditures of the system for the past year. expressing the opinion that it was not good bus- iness to take this additional revenue and apply it on capital account had been done in the past Dr. Kaiser reminded Mr. Mason that the function of tre Provincial | Board of Health was not 10 curb ex- penditures for water but to see that | the water was coming from a pure source gessed.

Mason spoke Mr. Mason wondered at Dr. { Kaiser, as a member of the Provin cial Health Board, if he observed reckless and unwarranted expendi- tures being made for water exten- sions. that he did net ask the town ere this to call a halt Mr. Mason pointed out that today operating ex penses were going down and the Commission expeeted to build un a reserve in future eyars, but addi- tional money was absolutely neces sary at the present time, and the only fair way to get it was the equal ization proposed A public utility should not only be self sustaining but a certain sum of money should | be set aside each year for replace- ments instead of making these with | debenture money.

He did not think the factor-! ies would be paying a.fair propor- tion of their share under the propos- od equalization schedule. As a furth- er solutign of present problems Dr. Kaiser suggested that people who paid different charges should be oqualizéd, but pant of that equali- zation should be paid in the general taxes. The present bill before the Legislature was not fair and just and would have to be amended before it would meet with his approval and that of many other ecitizems. Dr. Kaiser suggested also that the same step might be taken by the Town of Oshawa as adopted by other towns, that of stopping" further extensions for a time unless at the order of the man who was willing to pay for same in advance.
