!Municipal Debt
The last report of the Bureau of
Industries in its " Statistics of On -
Aerie Municipalities " shows that the
ensinicioal debenture debt of the prey-
iilee of Ontario increased by over $38,-
40k000 from 1 ete to 1904, unwards of
$16,000,000 of the increase haviug tak-
en place since 1895. This is a very '
large mcrease and under ordinary
eireurnstances it might be calculated
to cause -alarm. Still more is this the
-ease when we discover that this .very
large debt rests' almost exclusively
on the urban municipalities. Between
1895 fild 1904 the total liabilities of
township municipalities, -including
floating debt, increased by only $31,-
000. In the same time $9,000,000 was
added to tnetabitities of village and
town municipalities, while the indebt-
edness of city municipalities was in-
creased by $11,000,000. In chnsider-
ering the iimiaort of these figures it
must also be borne in mind that the
population of the townships at lea.st

fast paee, while the rural mumemali-
ties have been much more cautious.
But, tinder the circumstances, and
even -in the face of what seems to be
au unfavorable ehowing, we do not
think there is much. cause for alarm.
The country at the 'Present time is in
what we might call a transition state,
and the changed conditiorts are felt
more quickly and more keenly in the
urban than m the rural rannicipalities. Tit for T
We have no doubt but much of this
increase in debt has beep incurred in The Windsor Reeord

or temporary improvements. For present representa,tive
instance, within the last ten or twelve .
ion Parliament and
years, owing to the scarcity' and dear-
ness of limber, cement has had to be
used indeed of wood for the making
of sidewalks. The first cost of a ce-
ment. walk is, perhaps, three times
what a wooden walk used to be. But
the life of a wooden walk is about ten
years, while a cement walk will last,
practically, for all time. The wooden
walk was paid for year by year out of
current revenue. The cement walk is
paid for by the issue of debentures
extending over a period of fifteen or
twenty years. As it Ls with sidewalks
so it is with other street improve-
ments. Instead of placing a coating
of gravel ousts street every two or
three years and paying for the cost
out of current revenue year by year plunge North Eseex
