Editor Herald: ?
The*
fected and arhd
volved have a right to critically ana
\isting conditions and to make
a logical explanation of
i. I believe a few
hints, suggestions, facts and figures
will appeal to a good board of man?
agers elected to legislate for the
whole people'.
The subject, taxation, har* always
been one of vital concern to every
good citizen and corporation, and
of special interest to the "man be?
hind the gun," the man that pays
his taxes, the burden bearer of eve?
ry municipality It is the universal
opinion of all tax payers of this
city, who have had these matters
properly placed before them, and
who have given the same their care?
ful consideration, that the offices of
sergeant and treasurer should be
consolidated.
In the writer's opinion and in the
opinion of many, it is only on*
man's work, and one man can. and
will render this service satisfactor?
ily and efficiently. Under the new
assessed valuation of property and
the ever increasing business of the
dispensary, these offices will, in the
neaf future, cost more than $
per annum, provided the revenues
are collected.

This matter, councilmen-eloct, is
ittracting the attention of the man
that honestly contributes his pro
rata part of a just burden of tax
and I hope it will be your
pleasure to consider this question,
Its advisability and its practical
bility.
Seme one wilj advance in opposi?
tion to this suggestion that the .
?harter of the town requires the
two officers. The charter says:
'There shall be elected annually j
ly thc council of said town, a town
t. clerk tre-asurer

The coal wagons are on duty

liveries into bins opening on the
side walk, they leave black and
offensive tracks behind them.

lt sticks to the fee*t and is scat?
tered far and wide. This is an un?
