South Poreupine, March 31st., 1925. Special to The Advance. For many years most Town and many City Bands have been‘t in what might be called the ‘‘Charity Class®" fer the reason that so many of those who fill the position of Councillor, have dittle or no sympathy with the Musician or his cause. and whose only object in public life seems to ‘be to keep the tax rate at the lowest point Correspondent at South Porcupine Takes Up Draft of Proposed Legislation and Discusses the Benefits That Would Arise in General. New Proposed Municipal Band Tax Law for Ontario fund 2‘ NORTH APPARENTLY NOT TO GET ANY MORE SEATS. The Provincial Redistribution Bill came before the Legislation last week in skeleton form. It is understood that a special committee is to be formed to fill in the details of the Bill. This is all right, perhaps, but the further understanding is not so satisfactory. It is said that the North is not likely to get any ~further representation through this Bill. The Bill is to proâ€" vide for additional representation in the Ontario House for the City of Toronto, but the North Land repreâ€" sentation, it.is said will not be inâ€" creased at present. If any attention is to be paid to the principle of reâ€" presentation by population, Toronto should be accorded further members. But the same idea applies to repreâ€" sentation from the North Land. It is to be hoped that the case for the North will be fully presented to the House, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lake returned last week from a visit to relatives and friends in the West. as is usually the case for Charity. No townâ€"can be awake without a Band and the awhove suggestion offers the possibilities of better and upâ€"toâ€"date bands with qualified bandmasters to earnestly carry on the good work for your ‘benefit. Oneé tle law comes into effect the band would be looked upon as a perâ€" manent institution, and all worries as to whether the council of the next year wouw‘d make the usual grant will have gone. At present, in some iplaces, a few hundred dollars at most may be gathered by yarious means from which the salary f the bandmastet (often ridicwlougly gmall) is paid and what is left must be divided between new music, replacing of uniforms and inâ€" strumentis, and:.often something must go short. By ‘the method now sugâ€" gested, a far l@arger amount will be available; more people will feel a proâ€" prietary ‘interest in the band, and no one will feel themselves paying for it. Besides this when the town wishes the band to turn out for any special ocâ€" casion, the bandmaster will be more confident that all of his men will be present, instead of the ahout oneâ€"half The Canadian Bureau for the Adâ€" vancement of Music heartily endorses the plan, and is willing to coâ€" â€"operâ€" ate in every way possible to faciliâ€" tate the fullest development of the pro ])OSIUQ?I. The above excellent proposition has been suggested by Mr. J. Andrew Wiggins, formerly Bandmaster of the Irish Regiment, Toronto, and endorsed by him. A smalil tax levy, one that wil} not be burdensome to anyone, will provide funds to put it, as it should be, on a sound business basis. a Tair sum to the members of the bands, and place them on a financially sound Ibasis, Are not the sleeping upâ€" on their rights as bandsmen? « Why shou!d a Jocal band, which is a muniâ€" cipal organization, as much so as our public libraries and schools, ‘be deâ€" pendent wpon charity for its support? ‘‘Labor of Love,‘‘ and there reason why an amount should raised by this law which wil" While the law will permit up to two muils as a tax, because of the varâ€" lations in assessment in different municipalities, of course the local reâ€" quirements will suggest what amount will need to be raised. How many towns today offer to the memibers of the band even the slightâ€" est amout in the way of remunerâ€" ation for the large amount of time they spend in home practice, band reâ€" hearsals and concerts, and why should this continue indefinitely? In the past their efforts have in reality been a Section 6. All funds derive this tax shall be expended as in section one hereof by the or commission. Section 7.
