H. Price, Acting Premfier, that the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board an apâ€" pointeo of the Ontario Government, is to be given more active superyvi; sion and control over municipal finâ€" ancing within the Province. The Investment Bankers Associaâ€" tion of Canada, which apparently is the power behind the throne in this matter, is credited with the followâ€" ing recommendation: That the Railâ€" way and Municipal Board"shall have power to say what bonds may or may not be issued by a municipal council, to correct immediatoly any tendencies â€" toward â€" maladministraâ€" tion and if necessary to appoint an administrator who would have comâ€" plete: authority to deal with assessâ€" ments and tax levies and to veto any expenditure proposed by a municipal council. Recent defaulting by two municipalities with several others known to be in difficult position is the proffered éxcugse. The proposal, however, as outlined does not epeciâ€" fy that it will be made to apply only to such instances as above mention: ed. It would seem to us that this move is one of a long series which have resulted in the curtailment of the democratic â€" powers of â€" municipal councils, e. g.â€"the appointment and control over medical health officers, voadâ€"superintendents, _ and _ public wchool inspectors, and other inâ€" ctances which will readlly*® euggest ‘themselves, But are municipal councils offenâ€" ders above all others in the spending of public funds or in the piling up of public indebtedness? They are not.

We think such a spirit augurs well for our community at the commencement of the new year. Ontario increased over fiveâ€"fold in the seventeen years ending with 1930; the Dominion expenditure in the 23 years ending with 1930 inâ€" creased still more than the Provinâ€" cial. Why impose a guard on muniâ€" cipal treasuries which prove to have been the least extravagant in their expenditure? . " ied Eoo nor do we object to a limitation in the rate that may be levied per dol; lar of assessed values; but inside these limitations the responsibility of municipal councillors should not be to any outside authority but to the people who place them in office. In the event of the above limitations being exceeded we concede the right of the Railway and Municipal Board to interfere, but we do most emphatically protest against any proposal that would make of our Tuâ€" ral municipal organizations mere bureaus under the control of our Provincial Government. \'7'0‘;_&;';& objeci to a limitation on municipal indebtedness proporâ€" tionate to municipal usg_ssa}gi values.
