Notwith- standing` this, we have eiicleavored, and think we have succeeded, in gay- ing a service to the residents of Bar`- rie which compares Very favorably with what is given in other (e-,o1n1nun- ities that have a much 1a1'g'm' popula- tion. It is only by the most. ecoiiomieal management that We are able to do this, so that the matter of taxation is a Vital one to us, where the _i'oVenue just barely equals our produetioii and maintenance (-.ha.1'ges. -U The Town Councillors have con- sented to submit a by-law to the Elec- tors on the 4th of January next, the date of the Municipal Elections, re- questing a continuance of the xed as- sessment. on our `property for a fur- ther period of ten years. We respectfully request that you will mark your ballot in favor of this extension, so that we will have no dii- culty in continuing the service which we have 1'o11dered in the past.
