In the case of non -householders the exemp- tion was increased from $700 to $1,000 in cities and towns, and from. $500 to $800 in other municipalities. A further exemption of $200 for each dependent child under eighteen years of age was grant- ed, but this exemption only applies to income derived from personal earnings. - . Pensions granted to soldiers whoserved during the late war. or to any dependent relative of such -soldier is entirely -exempt from taxa- tion. Dividends derived from shares in companies tarrying .on a mer- cantile er cantile Or manufacturing business were made subject to assessment and taxation. Counties were given power to pass a by-law conferring on any tow{iship or village the right to conduct and Manage sales of land for arrears of taxes. -Municipalities in Muskoka were granted the right to conduct and manage their ow, sales. Formerly the Sheriff of the District had this power. By -laws -exempting improvements, income and business from taxa- tion on a graduated scale may be passed with the assent of the rate- payers. The percentage ,of exemption in any year is not to be less than 10 and not more than 25 per. cent. until the whole assessed val- ue, or such part thereof as is fixed by the by-law, is exempted.
