This is not a time for evasion or excuses. The issues at stake- call for heroism---for self sacri_ ee. We are not less patriotic than others. 400,000 Canadians are not too proud "to fight.

Such lavish expendi; ture seems very `much out of place at a time when heavy war taxes are being imposed and the people are being urged to exer_ cise thrift in every possible way. Peterboro G.ouneil s effort to have a special tax imposed on those men who escape munici- pal taxation is worthy of sup- port. Heretofore such men have escapedwith only a poll tax 01 one dollar per year-and in this town quite a fevv haven t even contributed this amount -to the municipality ` although . they get V all the privileges and advantag- es whieh the town provides. Further, the local and County grants for patriotic purposes? `fall upon theish-oulders of pi-o-j perty owners, while the ahlo-; `bodied; ilnmarriedp man who: rowns no property, goes absolute- lly free of-paying any of the bur- dens of the War.

Not only had the ratepayers approved the agree- ment, but the Council at the rst meeting in March unanimously` adopted a motion, That if the agreement re Hydro power is satisfactory to our solicitor, that the Mayor and Clerk be author- ized tosign same. .In the face of -this the Board could do noth- ing and when it was mentioned to him the Mayor should have plainly told the President so. It was pretty late in the day~for the Mayor and Council to get a sol- icitor's opinion, even. Instead of submitting the draft agree- ment to a solicitor when it was rst presented and giving his opinion to the ratepayers in or- der that -they might vote intelli- gently on the by-Iaw, the Council did nothing "towards informing. the ratepayers, except through the newspaper reports` of the a conference with Engineer James. An opinion from the Board of Trade at an early stage of the proceedings would have been timely, but for the Mayor to in- timate that an expression f the] Board s views would be accept- able, after "the "whole question` was settled, was an absurdity.
