Tho fire originated at the hennery and quickly spread to the stable.

LEGAL QUERY.—The following legal question appeared in the Daily Mail & Empire, SE the word "municipal" had appeared before telephone the person answering might have had better data to speak from:—H, J. W., Brussels.—Qu, —Can a municipal council make a grant in aid of a telephone company without submitting the matter to a vote of the ratepayers? (2) The reeve is secretary - treasurer of the company and two of the councillors and the clerk are also con- nected with it. Does that make any difference? Ans.—The Assessment Act of x904 provides that every telepbone company shall be assessed for 6o per cent. of the amount of the gross receipts belonging to the company. An amend- ment passed in moo says :—"In the case of any local telepbone system not op- erating generally throughout the Prov- ince the lines of such company within any township shall be assessed at their actual value," etc. There is no pro- vision in the Assessment Act or in the Municipal Act that I am aware of even the exemption h of tele permitting bona companies from taxation, But under See. 57o of the Municipal Act, as amend- ed in 1908, the municipal councils are empowered to construct and maintain telephone lines, and a telephone service, and all the works belonging thereto, within any municipality or within two miles therefrom. Municipalities are also empowered to borrow money for the construction of such a telephone system, and to issue debentures therefor. Of course, where a muneipality constructs its own telephone lines and maintains its own telephone service, that particular plant or property will not be subject to taxation or assessment. (2) You say. the reeve and some of the other munie1. pal officials are members of the com- pany. That would indicate that it may be wholly or partly a municipal tele- phone system, constructed and maintain- ed by the municipal council, But the mere fact that the reeve and some of the Schnol Boake is often hissed when it might have been easily embraced by Systematic Saving Begin now to prepare for the day Of oppor- tunity by depositing your savings in The Metropolitan Bank. $7.00 OR MORE OPENS AN AQQOUNT The METROPOLITAN BANK BRUSSELS BRANCH F.
