ts In the in‘land reverue returns for bthe year ending J une, 1897, the last published, Berlin looms up with &a conâ€" bribution amourting to $66,456.21, while Galt is credited with earnings to the extent of only $20,840.00. Frem these figures the average reader would gather the idea that they fairly repreâ€" sent the business dooe in each place. Berlin‘s five cigar factories and a w holeâ€" sale liquor store, with a bonded wareâ€" house, are the concerns levied upon by the Island Rsvenue Doapariment. The cigar factories are legitimate contribuâ€" tors in that they represent the work done in the town. Th lquor upon which the inland revenue tax is paid is manufactured elsewhere. Galt has two malt houses, one of which, during 1897, did not pay a doliar of revenuse into the local office, the whole being sent abroad in bond. Ths malt proâ€" duced by the houses in Galt last yoar earned $30,000 for the Government, most of which was colleeted elsawhere. This explains the d fforence betweon the Barlin and Galt figures. Tho real earnings of each place would leave the towns on a par. About a month ago ths Townships of Waterloo and Woolwich were placed under quarantine by the Daputy Minâ€" ister of Agriculture, under the powers given in the "Animal Contegious Dis~ easer Act" because a form of disease known as "swine plague" was said to exist in these Townships. The qurran tine forbade all persons stbrictly . "to move any swine whatever into, within or out of the said towaships, except for immediate slaunghter." â€" The effsct of the quarantine has besen to put a comâ€" plete stop to one of our principal indutâ€" bries.. We have no wish to lossen in any way the restrictions that guard the purity of our meat supply, but such a serious step as placing whole townships under quarantine shou‘d not be done unless for the very besbt of reasons, Among the herds said to be infected was that of Mr. Israel B, Gingrich of Woolwich, and two of his hoga said bo be suffering from the diseaso were slaughtered and portions of the remains sent to the Government authoritiss for analysis. We understand that a reply has been recoived stating that no traces of the diseass were found in the samples submnitted. Dr. Sterling, who ‘enjoys a very exbensive practice in this county says that he has not met with any cases of the disease and does not belisve that thare were any good reasons for instiâ€" tubing a quarantine in the firss place and that there are no reasons whatever for maintaining it. In the article on the Inland Reverue returns in Saturday‘s issue proper credit was not given to Gue‘ph. We find that the total amount paid by the: Division to the credib of the Receiverâ€" Goneral for the year endiag Jane 30, 1897, was $536,969 90. Deducting the amount contributed by the cutâ€"officcs, $470,903 92, would larve $66,.065 98 as the amount paid by the Head Office. Waterloo‘s percentsge of the total amount will. therefore be a _ trifl= under â€" 70°% instesd _ of â€" about 80%/ as stated but tbhis will in no wise affect the strength of gur claim to & public building. In Saturday‘s issue it was pointed out that while tha outoffice of Berlin contributed $66,456 21 to the inlacd revenue in this division the outoffice of Galb conbributed only $20,840 78. Tre Galb Reporter thus cxplains where the difforence comes in, ab least some of it. It says : NORTH WATERLOO APPEAL. Another postponemest . has been made in the appeal of the North Waterloo election case, Mr. Justice Osler having been engaged in the Egin trials at St. Thomas all week and nop having returned, the casa could rob go on Thursday or Friday, as thore was not a fall court preseut,. A date will probably be fixed for the Rearing of the appoal this week or next week. Ib will be remembered that in this case Dr. Lackner eppeals against the decision of the election court unssating him on tha groucd of treating. T WHERE THSE DIFFERENCE COMES IN.

The protest against James Conmee of Wests Aigoma, has been dismissed. The careful attention given to the demands cf the public upon the various branches of the music trade, has de:â€" veloped a business, here, which in its completeness is barely surpassed by any in large cities. Nothing seems wanting to assure a custcmer that the store of Mr. G. A. Wanless, Berlin, is the bast place to buy music and musical inâ€" arument‘s. He has proven his abilibty in the study of these goods, for everyâ€" thing knowa in music can now be proâ€" cured through him at the least possible cost. Moreover while pursuing with untiring attention the demands of his customers, he never forgets to urge the parchass of such articles as are to their best intereats. Oaly seventy years have elapsed since the first railway in the world was finished. Daring â€"that comparatively brief period 400,000 miles have been constructed,the British Enpire sccountâ€" ing for about & sixth.

Congratudolence : (We have been there ourse vas‘ ) For years Mr. Wanless ha« been well known as the mosb reliable sewing machine dealer. By representing the "Wheeler and Wilson", and "New Home" sewing machine Co‘s,, he bhas done his utmost for the public advantâ€" ago, and he has, besides, always taken pains to supply every obtainable reâ€" quisite for o‘d machines. _ It requires the services of severa‘ cfficers to look after the Government‘s business in Waterloo and our contem:â€" porary is of the opinion that t‘e Government should provide suitable ofâ€" fices for its employees in that town. In other words Waterloo waits a Government Bailding. Tae anterâ€" prises developed thore having for years contbributed annually from $300,000 to $400,000 to ‘the Dominion Treasury, Waterloo is certainly entitled to some consideration .at the hands of the Government, and we brust it will reâ€" ceive thatâ€"that Grit a=d Tory will turn in and push the town‘s claim for a Goavernment Bailding a.:il the powers ab Ostawa yield to the demand for one. _ In musical goods he applies the same sefe motto : ‘"The best is the chsapest," but anything you wish, Nordheimer Piaros, pianos whose phenomenal sucâ€" cess and most perfect tona command the admiration of all critics, Steinway Pianos, Msson & Hamblin and Thomas organs, the best made, Washburn Guitare, Mandolins and Barjos, Stewâ€" arb Banjos, Music Boxes,Kalbt Accordâ€" eons from Berlin, Gsrmany, mouth organs in endless variety, rare violins, bows, etc., Gzephophones abt only $10.

We have reprinted the quostions and answers in another ccluamn of this issue.. If the authoriâ€" ties quoted are correct it would appear that a resolution which receives the support of twoâ€"thirds of the members of the Courcil, exempting any mantâ€" facturing concern from taxation, is binding upon the municipality, even though not incorporated in the form of & byâ€"law, Tha resolution is binding if a manufacturing concern complies with it« conditions even if the Council after} w rds rescinds it, This is an interestâ€" i3g legsl point and will teach municipal bodies to be careful about passing rescâ€" lutions of the above nature. WATERLOO‘S CLAIM What Does It Mean? EDITORIAL NOTHES. TAX EXEMPTIONS LISBON 2, L. Ginder Ans.â€"Section 325 of the Municipal Act provides that ‘the jurisdiction of every Osuncil shall bs confiaed to the municipality which the Council repreâ€" sents, except where authority beyond. the same is expressly given; and the powers of the Council shall ba exercised ‘ by byâ€"law when nob otherwissauthâ€" orizad or provided for.‘ And section 411 provides that every Municipal Council shall by twoâ€"thirds vote of the members thereof, have the power of exempting any manufacturing establishâ€" meut, in whole or in part, from taxaâ€" tion, except as to school taxes, for any period not longer than ten years, and to renew this exemption for a period nobt exceeding ten years.‘ Assumâ€" ing that the ‘resolution‘ was passed by a btwoâ€"thirds vote of the members of the Council, the first question to be considered is, was it binding on the part of the. corporation ! The main difference between a byâ€"law and & resoâ€" lution is that a byâ€"law has the seal of the corporation affixed to it, and as a general rale resolutions are not sealed. A resolution baving the seal of the corporation &ff xed would be in effect a byâ€"law, Itis a great mistake to su;-‘ pose & municipal corporation may do‘ by resolution whatever ib is authorized to do by byâ€"law. The statute says ‘the powers of the Council shall be exercised by byâ€"law when not otherwise authorâ€" ized or provided for.‘ But section 411 does ‘nobt mention ‘byâ€"law.‘ ib only speaks of twoâ€"thirds voteof the members.. These words indicate that & rosolution aszonted to by twoâ€"thirds of the memâ€". bers of the Council would be suff.cient. to . grant an exemption, leaving the conditions to be thereafter set forth in a formal sgreemont to be exscuted unâ€" der the seal of the municipality and by the manufacturers. _A twoâ€"thirds vote of the memberae is all that is ‘provided for‘ in the section. Of courso if the resolwtbion did rot receive a btwoâ€"thirds vote of the members, ib was void ab iniâ€" tio. The Council msy rescind the resoâ€" lution, but that wilil not cancel the lia bility of the municipality to the mantufacturers who have acted upon it in good faith and built their bailding. The individual members of the Council are not in any case personally liable to: the manufacturers, They were merely: acting in & representative capacity, as members of the Council, and they inâ€" curred noâ€" personal _ responsaibility, whether the resolution be held void or valid. Tho liability, if any, is upon the municipality, and can be enforced against it. â€" Whether the building; are old or new does not affect the question; the Ouuncil has the power of exempting ‘eny‘ manufacturing establishmentfrem tbaxation. The power to exempt is not limited to lands and buildings ; the words, ‘manufacturing establishment ,‘ include plant â€"and machinery as well..

Town of Waterloo.â€"Qu â€"The Waâ€" terloo Town Counsil passed a resoluâ€" tion in October last to exempt a local manufacturing concern from texation for ten years, on old and new buildings, providing the concern ferected a large new buildiag to cost $6,000. Oa the strength of this resoluvion the concern proceeded with the erection of the warehouse. Now some of the ccuncilâ€" lors talk of rescinding the rosolation, saying it was nobt binding because ib was not pub in the form of a byâ€"Jaw. Can the resolution be rescinded ? Aod if so, will the members of the Council who voted for the resolution be personâ€" ally liable for the taxes levied on the concarn ? Aud is ib legal for a Town Council to exempt ‘old‘ buildings from taxation ? 3 The Ohristmas Globs, which came to band a fow days ago. is one of tne finest publications of its kind ever sent out from a O«nadian Newspaper cffice and reflects very favorably upon thepublishâ€" ers of Canada‘s groat Matropolitan Daily.
