LOWER TAXES

4 Mr.. EDIToR:-The time is near at hand
Wisen p actically new Board OF Town
commissioners are to be elected, and
trust there will be an effort made to gel
new men for the position, because con-
ditions are getting more and more IN.
favorable TO the property owner here.
It's all right for the man who has a large
house aud is in easy circumstances, but
its mighty bard for the poor fellow who
has little house which is taxed about
full value, while the big fellow would
raise cain if he was taxed at one-halt
of what be really thinks his prop.
erty worth. With the present high
prices We have to pay for provisions, &C.,
and excessive Town and School Taxes,
what show has the ordinary man to pros.
peri We, the people, cannot see where
the present Board has been success, our
streets, generally speaking, are in no
better condition than they we're ten years
ago, that means that 100000, has gone
with nothing to show for it. Whist little
improvement has taken place has been
made at private expense. said We had
nothing to show for it, we have and that
is $l.25 Tax Rate. Surely this Town
can be run at considerably lower rate.
We have nothing against the present
Board personally, they are gentlemen,
but we cannot expect them to neglect
their own business to attend to Town az
fairs. l have no doubt the majority OF
them would be glad to be relieved
in fact, a change may be beneficial
in more ways than one. Why the
necessity for such high taxes? $4,000
q year is paid one police officer who is
competent to perform the police duty OF
the town. Then there are don't know
how many specials to be paid, one Of them
getting $200R year, for acting as night
man at a hotel. Is that good manage
ment? If the hotel requires a night man
the hotel should pay him; especially as it
is the hotels that create the necessity
for extra police.
Again, we notice that the same oldN
policy of hauling gravel to mend the
streets is>stil] continued, hauling on at a
price, hauling it off again at price; every
load thus costing about double what it
ought too. Are the Taxpayers obliged to
support certain men by employing them
in the hauling business. Is it not time
a change be made, and the taxpayer be
considered in the matter2 Why pay $400
q year tor the collection of town taxes2
The town Bailiff has ample time to do it,
and he can be bonded in a Surety Com
pany for comparatively small sum. Think
it over, fellow citizens, and Act Surely
we have been patient and long suffering.
There certainly must be some way to re-
duce our taxes and thus relieve the poor.
