porcupine advance says the people are not making any fuss about the rate they re- alize that if a town is to be made uptodate and convenient the imj provements will cost money and tax es will behigh rates hereabouts may seem high but we may be thankful we do not have to pay 77 mills in nearly every urban municipal- ily ratepayers are finding the tax problem a burdensome one in some instances where tiic municipalities foolishly guaranteed debentures of now defunct factories the taxpayers are paying through their pockets for theirs folly in some instances municipalities to keepmlown the rate of taxation boost the assessment while this doesnt ease the stran on the purse it fools intending pur chasers of property whose first in quiry before buying in a town or village is the rate of taxation very few inquire about the assessment when a municipality has 45 mills or thereabouts on a fairlyhigh as sessment it means that those who own properties are paying a fair rent in taxes it should be the aim of municipal men to steadily lower the rate of taxation to about 30 mills and enjoy the privileges that stouffviiie ratepayers have y this she walked through the ground with a word
