HOW TAXES GREW ON
THIS ONE PROPERTY
'(Kingston endued)
There wive an interesting item
in this neweemper yesterday front
our Ge,:iona coree:pondeut on the
subject of taxes,
Noting that the tax bills the
Portland Townahiep rave been die•
tributed and that the taxes, ewe:
for the one mill reduction by
reason of provincial subsidy to
municipalities, are almost identie:
whir lust year, rte observed that
until this year there has been a
steady increase for over a halt
century. In illustration of the
way taxes have advanced he cited
a tax bill of $25 this year on prop
erty on w'ti"•h the taxes were only
$4,0.1 in 19:el and $2.69 in 1832. It
Is to be not. 1 that the rise in 21
years from 1:+.2 was about 72 per
cent. as compared with 460 ;Ter
cent. in the 34 yea, a since 1903.
These figure:; afield a suggee.
tive illustration of :1.,• way taxer,
have risen on villa., property and
also en farms in ti; • elder part,
of Ontario in half a c•>llury. Some
adclrtiunal figtn'es t.'r t' years be-
tween 1:103 and reef w told odd to
the story. In the ten year-» be.
fore the war rural taxi's made a
gradual advance but in the post-
war years the advance turned tette
a steep climb, The building of
highways has been responsible for
a large part of that rhar•per ad-
vance, Other contributing tae.
tory are larger expenditures for
edam tion and expenditures gree
ing from seem measures, such a'-
old age pensions,
While many persons declann
•aelainse the: increased .taxa:lon
and will not admit that they re.
cetve benefits jute:trying their
heavier tax burden, our correspnn.
dent tastes a different view.
'Many roittls which fifty years
ago were little better than a trail;
he asserts, "have been turned in-
to up-to-daete htgltwaye; while any
side road Is much better than the
best roads of that dime." AIM
the eante marked improvements,
in his opinion, are to be found In
the schools and other public Insti-
talone
These are things to be remem-
bered by the people who sigh for
the good old days of light taxes.

The future is rosy for the girl

Sir William Beveridge, famous
economise, says so, He should

Peering Into die future, he told a
British Association meeting in Not-
tingham, England:
"Assuming that marriages lake
place at the average age, the
'trough' for spinsters will arrive in
1943, and that for bacheto'se from
1945 onwards,
50,000 Short
",The bachelors of 1943 will, there-
fore, be conscious 01 a shortage in
the supply of spinsters of the usual
atge-'at least 50,000 shunt,
"Sptnat'bra will Anti termselves uu•

Sir William added: "There will be
