' Aberdeen Boy : ‘‘Father, what does Statement of the Position of the Township of Bucke in Further Reference to the Minister of Mines, Respecting His Assessment Act Amendment, by Reeve W. J. Post. This week Mr. W. J. Post, reeve of Bucke township, sends The Adâ€" vance the following letter, which, with a couple of slight amendmentq, prompted by kindness and ‘high reâ€" gard for the libel law, is published herewith. Dear Sir:â€"Having duly xeceived a copy of the Minister‘s statement to the press four days after his having sent his statement out to the many papers of his choice; finding in the Minister‘s statement as sent out conâ€" siderable irrelevaney to the of the passing of his Assessment Act amendment, insofar as the Bill itself concerns this township and desiring to make certain reply thereto; xealizâ€" ing the obligation upon the ordinary local papers to devote considerable space to the Minister‘s remarks, it behooves me to make my own remarks as brief as possible to secure space in the same papers before the Bill beâ€" comes law. I will appreciate a square deal from the same newspapers in brief manner for this township‘s welâ€" fare. â€" The Minister has certainly shown master hand at drawing the ‘""‘red herrings‘‘ across the matter of cern in the question involved, and I fear deliberate attempt has been made by him to qualify his sponsorship and becloud an otherwise plain issue. Our protest was made with a full knowledge that the Ball in question could not reverse the specific judgâ€" ment handed down by the supreme court of Canada in any manner to affect a reversal in favour of the Mcâ€" Crae Mining Company itself. the mention of friends who might ‘be inâ€" terested in lobbying this Bill through the House, and as friends of the Adâ€" ministration capable of lending imâ€" proper weight to the decision of the members, there was no inference that these were the McCrae Mining Comâ€" pany or associates either. . Neither was there any attempt fo conflict names showing any connection of this company with the Minister. The precedent established by this judgment has been, is being and is proposed to be utilized by this townâ€" ship for the collection of many long overdue tar accounts, or their equivalâ€" ent in property rights through purâ€" chase by the township of longâ€"dormâ€" ant mining rights, with the intention that many propeiftiies fidle for 20 years may be worked, and used in this manner this precedént has much value to us. in ‘which domam this Bill (or Act\ shall not apply.‘‘ Given§ this as a conâ€" sideration*%to. our: present position and as our protection of certain equities in process of arcequisition, as well as some protection that dormint mining â€" lands _ become _ operative through our confiscation where taxes are due and payable and the holders thereof refuse or fail to protect them, we will be satisfied.
