The following questions which ap-
peared in the last issue of the Muni-
cipal World will be of interest to the
ratepayers at this time, (A, P,) 1---
OurIVlunic'ipality along with all oth-
er Municipalities in the Province, has
received notice from the Plighways
Department that' beginning ,with the
ensuing year, No Government Grant,
as formerly, viz: twenty per cent. will
be allowed to these Municipalities sin-
less Statute Labor is abolished.
Our Municipal Council content -
plates at the forthcoming Municipal
election, giving the electors a piebis
cite,:; so to spear, oil the -matter as t
whether they are in favor or not o
abolishing` Statute : Labor,
What.I would like to know is this:
On a question of this:platter are the
married women who have now the
right to vote for 'Municipal Candi-,
dates, vote or,sliould it be just rate-

2, -Parts T and III of the , Voters
list were revised'here; for: the election

eral names were' -added on both list.
There were `no . complait ts as to ,err-
ors: or omissions in cozl:n.ection with
Part I, posted in month of August.
My contention is that the revision of
the voter's list;in October has noth-
ing to do' with Part I, for Municipal
purposes aiid that this list properly
certified is the proper list to .use at
next election. Aix I right or wrong?
Answer I --All electors qualified. to

qualified to' vote an question regard-
ing abolition. of Statute Labor.
