• ten/linden Public indignation against
his predecessor and late leader, Mr.
Hardy, had grown very hot because of
bis failure to prosecute the members of
the Machine found guilty of the most
villainous conduct in the late bye-
• eleceions. Mr, Doss, if he is to live up
to the character, the assumed posses-
sion of which is said to make him a
more available leader than Mr. Hardy,
, will now take up eagerly his duty and
begin at once these prosecutions which
the late Government neglected. Pos-
sibly he might not have thought of the
4. Matter if it had not been for; the un-
pleasant coincidence of the unseating
of Breithaupt of North Waterloo, with
his accession to power. But this will
• remind him of his first and most press-
ing duty. The country waits to see if '
he conies in to initugueate a 'really
better regime than that of Hardy; or
if he, too, is afraid of the Machine.

lItTLLETT,
Collector Smith is now an his
minds and is expected to gather $12,
• 1a5.00, that being the amount on Ws
Roll. Thiele $240 leas than last year
owing to a smaller loral expenditure
. the county tate being slightly higher.
The different amounts to be leviecl for
are as follows: County, $2,421.05; All
School roles including debentures and
i
!andel rates, $4,407.44; General Atu••
- nicipal purposes, 54,045.60 ; Dog Tax,
$352; Unperfor area Statute Lebo'', $7;
Local, am provenient Drainage Deben-
tures, $922.50.
coraMaNE,
Last year the Collector's Roil for the
township of Colborne called for. $7
237.78, wlsereas this fall it is $7,259.22'
This is close calculation and shows
that the members of the council have
kept a. pretty tight check upon the
expenditure. The comity rate, is
the seine, 1 4/10 mills.,
wasT wAWANostr. .
The Clerk of West Wawanosh says :
•The amount to be collected this year
from West Wawanosh is $7,848 21
which is a little less than last year.
The difierence is deeato the County
• rate being • lowered. The present
County rate is 1 5/10 will; last year it
was 1 7/10 mills. •
. • • • Ar3nelar..1.
The Amounts on the Collector's Roll
of Ashfield township 'for 1899 are as
follows: County, $2,370.08; Township,
85,100,62; General and Special ' school
rates,a6,112.06 ; Debentures for School, •
$497.06; DraM Awards,$71.43; Statute
Labor, $29.24.; A total of $14,189.49.
Latit year theaniount raised was $12,
i
434.20. The ncreaee is due to con-
siderable bridge work having been
done thissear, together with the .ex-
pense of a lawsuit about certikin drains.

- The oolleclorai Roll for 1890 calls fo
$0.732.97, whereas last year it was
$6,466.54. The increase istadue to little
higher County rate coupled with ,in
increased expenditure by two sehoo
sections which are inakina considerable
improvements upon then property..
The amount to be raised for County
purposes is 51,404.16, last year it was
$111"heatWow—n.sThliipcxort TisimCkiTenrs;eaith is raid-
ing over WO rnore• this fall tban last,
the causreof the increase being due to
the consteaction of o $4,000 dram to be
paid for in ten years. The council is
also having a $1,000 steel bridge built.
fn 1898 the Collector collected $10,049.
64, while this fall his Boll calls for
$10,351,70. ' In 1898 the sum of $2,148.42
