Under the Municipal Act, outside of educa- tion, the .municipa'Iii'ty cannot exceed a 25 mil-1 rate on the assessment. There are provisos, however, where- by this may be overcome. The mill rate now is 22.8 and to take care of the paving` debentures next year about 4 mills will have to be added, so that on the present assessment the mill rate next year would `be about 27. The town could not issue ; any more debentures while the as- sessment remained" as at present. ! The assessment may be raised 10 or I 15 per cent., but what benet would that be. He did not favor raising the taxes any higher to .proceed with more paving.
