IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.
To Taxpayers, whether their means be large or small,
the collection of taxes in two instalments appeals,
Mr. W. Jackson,
Because it would be good 'busi-
ness I am in favor of having our
town taxes collected semi-annual-
ly instead of a lump suns as has
been the custom. It seems to nie
that every taxpayer, whether hitt
or her imeans are large or small,
would welcome the change' and ap-
preciate it,

For the very good' -reason that
taxes would he easier paid in two
instalments, say art an interval
of five months, and that the first

Dr. 1', W. Thompson.
1 have not changed my wind on
the subject of the collection of
taxes, since 1 fathered the motion
in council in 1013 that was to
go into effect in. 19t 1, In 1013
we arranged 155111 the as,ess r
g o to,
get out an extra roll In the fall
of that year and .I ant pretty, sure
he dict so and was paid for the
same. But the council of 1914
simply, ignored the work of 1913
with respect to it and event on
with the usual spring assessment
again and payment of taxes hi the
fall as of old,
Now, I have changed my mind
this much, that f do not think
an extra assessment is necessary
and certainly there is not needed
two assessments in one pear. Our
council could use sante roll as was
struck last year end it not' inough,
make over draft and look after
the over dtalt the following year,
The largest taxpayers in town
1.01(1(1 like Le 100 it and I am' sure
it wouldequally suit the lesser
taxed.
The advantages I see are these ;
The large amount of motley leav-
ing the town treasury during the
summer: depletes it and money itas
to be borrowed from the banks un-
til Mite taxes are paid; The tax -

r of
'that harrowed money at, say sev-
en percent„ while his money is
being saved up lin the flank at
three 'percent Thus the taxpayer
loses four percent. on his taxes
for a few months of every year,
Again, a great ratan' mien get em-
ployment during the summer at re-
munerative pay, which ceases when
the cold weather comes on. A
good many while making money
plentifully spend freely, and taxes
do the distance do not worry, but
•01 winter approaches coal must
be bought, extra clothing is re-
quired and by the time both are
paid with work scarce. and money
scarcer the taxes loom up large
and Christtna,s has not the sante
joy in many homes and often need-
ed clothing is not provided.
I might give other 'reasons but
think theabovewith the good
majority of citizens favoring the
change is sufficient r r our
council
of 1915 to, turn in with the up-to-
date towns who Piave discarded
the old late autumn taxes for
newer and approved methods even

•
Mr. 11' II. 1-Icllyar.
IL would certainly be a saving to
the taxpayer to pay' his taxes m
two paptnents instead of one as
i5 our present system. The town
has to borrow money each year
and that costs the taxpayer, say
seven percent,, while if he has any
stoney in the bank he can only
get three percent. If we paid our
first
instalment
i
n June e tt would
not
be necessary
to borrow ho row 7npney
and it would be a convenient time
for most people as work is usual-
ly plentiful in the early stunner
and there are not so many natur-
al outlets for our cash as later in
the )year. 1would certainly pre-
fer paying toy taxes in two pay-

Mr, Cl. 13. ' idle.
1 certainly think that our 5.5.1-
ent method or collecting the titres
in a lump sum at a time of the
year when there are so many de-
mands upon the purse of the, rate -

a septi -annual collection, the first
