It is not to be wondered at that the civ- ic authorities are making a strenuous kick against the impo.sition of another $4,300 or more to their tax bills." Several weeks ago when The Ad- vance condemned the Ontario govern- ment for compelling the municipalities to stand twenty-five per cent, of the cost, the Sun-Times arose in holy wrath and charged u^ with not know- ing what wo Were writing about, that the coat would be very little more than at pre ent and that the Old Age Pension Actc was a grand thing. Since then, na doubt, the Sun-Times has taken .'<ome of its own advice, found out what the cost would be to itself and now the shoe is pinch- ing. The Advanc , still contends that the Ontario Gove nment should be rcsnorrsible for its fifty per cent, even though they have lowered the cost to the municipalities from twen- ty-five to twenty per cant.

These are deserving of more consideration than thev get, and it is realiy Burprising how patient they are. Comparid with the cost of the permanent highway, tho little path along the side v.'iich would serve for the accoiiimoilation of the pedestrians is a minor probbm. Perhaps that is why it receives such scant consid oration from the authoritie;. It is howevc •. a question cf first impor- t.Tnc-. which Fhoi;!d no Irnucr be ig- nored. â€" HamiUon Spcctatrr. W. M.
