EXPERT SHOWS HOW
$4,000 BONDS WILL
AFFECT TAX RATES
HOSPITAL PROPOSITION is Ex-
PLANNED BY ATTORNEY GRIGGS
IN ARGUMENT IN SUPPORT OF
FAVORABLE VOTE.

Attorney Clarence Griggs, in a com.
munication to the Free Trader-Journal
today. gives an enlightening discus.
sion il favor OF the proposed $50, 0,00O
bond issue for the S. Il. King annex to
RybuIn Memorial Hospital, in which
he points out just how and to what ex-
tent the bonds will effect the tax rates
during the seven years the several
are being paid out.
Mr.. Grlggs says:
Editor of Free Trader-Journal:
4 he public is naturally interested
as to what increased taxation will
follow ii the proposition to borrow
So, J0.CG for the new hospital is
carried. | have therefore asked
the County Clerk to furnish me an
official statement covering this
point.
The total tax rate in the City Of
Ottawa for the present year is
$9.i4 on each $1,000 of assessed
valuation, so that a person who
paid $l0.CC in taxes this year
would have to pay additional
amounts if the proposition carries,
as follows:
l9l7-3+ cents additional
1858 cents additional
1873 cents additional
19SG-3G cents additional
l92l-52 cents additional
1879 cents additional
1g23-i7 cents additional
Each person can therefore take
his tax list for this year and cal
culatc just how much additional
tax he will have to pay for the
new hospital. 1t must be remem-
bcred, however that the existing
valuation of the city which Is now
$e.520,0Si will be increased from
year to year, so that in all prob
ability, the amounts additional to
be paid for thee bond issue VIII
never exceed 35c. The tax payer
ought to consider whether he Is
nai wnllngta aaS.thc slight addl- n
tional tax for the satisfaction Of
having thoroughly modern, fire
proof hospital, where he and the
members of his family can be TAX
en Tor treatment, in case of sick
ness. He ought to consider also
whether he does not wish his city
to keep up with the times. Cities
o. half our population and even
less are better provided with hos
pital facilities than is this city,
and o city which has expended
SCBeQ02C3 in public improve
mcnts in the past FIVE years and
has investments of approximately
S2,00J, 10000 in its schools ana
churches, can certainly afford to
spend whatever may be needed to
provide modern hospital for its
sick and afflicted. Pride in our
city, If nothing more, ought 10 III
duce our people to be willing to
submit to this slight additional
taxation.
Notwithstanding the fact tlat
the present capacity will be dou
bled, we do not contemplate any
additional burden for malnte'
nance. The increased accommo-
dations without any increase III
prices will make it possible TO
materially increase the revenues
Of the hospital, so that the pres
ent burden on the public, which
cnly amounts to S3,Cb0GG per year
ought not be increased. Without
going into tedious details, we can
confidently promise the tax pay
ers OF the city that the only in
crease of taxes will be IN the

Atlantic flying. With regard to the

be of immense benefit, as he considers
that The correspondence, OF country

CELEBRATED rate Of exchange of CORE

and shipping.
Coming to the problem Of carrying
mails across the Atlantic, Mr.. Desbleds
considers that existing knowledge OF
airplane construction and propelling
machinery only allows of such flights
by reducing the strength of the ma
chimes employed to far below that of
the airplanes now in use: consequent
ly those undertaking the passage
would run grave risks of coming to
grief on the way. Some particulars
of an airplanesfor flying the Atlantic

about four tons. which is doubled by
the addition of fuel and stores, while

The income is usually reward of in

business world the great bughear is

whether the plant works full force or
not. When they bear an unjust rela-
ton to the income, calamity is sure to
follow. The same is true with indi-
viduals, says Grit. They start in all
right but allow the personal expense
to grow faster than their surplus in
come. Better clothes, dainties, in
creased social expense soon eat up
the income and the necessities have

When Lost in Woods.

When one is lost in the woods the
matter becomes serious. This may
happen to even the most acute, and the
average city dweller would have diff
Guilty in finding civilization again. SO
the psychologist has laid down this set
of rules. When lost in the woods,
keep going down hill and eventually
the wanderer will reach valley. Val
leys are open places, usually inhabit-
ed. If nc. sign of men can be found,
the straggler should follow stream,
which ultimately will lead him TO a
house or town. If the country is fiat,
the Injunction to follow a stream is
emphasized. In a total absence of wa
ter or hills, take note of the sun, de-
termine the points Of the compass, and
then carefully decide in which dlrec-
ton the nearest habitation is likely
to be. aHe
