+ the Baitor of the Daily Examiner: er, —On looking over the Datry Exams ver of a late date, | see that the assessing |
oi leveying of taxes does not meet the eiahes of many Of the people of the Isiand, vrom the slight know'edge I have of the | manner of Assessing among you, I think our system is mucn better. Thus, in each year, we elect three Supervisors, one of which is Chairman [so named in the ticket) one Assessor, one Treasurer, Clerk, Jus- tices’ and Constables, for one year, for each rown Of six miles *quare [County divided into towns |. be Assessor performs his duty between the lst eay of May, and Ist July following. when the Equalizing Board | meets. ‘This Board is composed of Supers | yisors, Clerks and Assessors. They ex- amine the Assessment roll, and equalize ifnecessary, the property as assessed by the Assessors. Then the Clerk sends _the roll to the County C erk, who hands it to the County Board when in_ session in No- yember. The County Board is composed of the Chairnsan from each town, who also awine, in Committee, all the Assessment

r ils
equalize them, then returns the roll to the’
eown Clerk, who makes out the tax roll for Treasurer, who commences collecting taxes about 22nd December, and ends about Ist March folowing, receiving 2 per cent for all taxes paid up to Ist January in each year, and 5 per cent. for all taxes after that date. This is the Treasurer’s
salary. Supervisor’s get $2 per day Clerk asalary. Assessor from $2 to $3 per day.
| think our system is # goodone. It gives good satisfaction here. If the As- <essor is not a good one, next year get a better. Divide your Counties iuto Lots ras they are] and elect an Assessor for each Lot, who is supposed to know the value of real and personal property in his neighs borhood much better than a person living in Charlottetown or Bedeque. Pardon me, Mr. Editor, for trespassing on your time and patience.

Both sides are confident of victory. it would be unwise in the Oppo- sition to declare that they will succeed; for the chances of the election are greatly against them so fur as " influences’ are concerned.

Very respectfully, D.: 0. Clyman, Dodge County, Wisconsin, . November 15, i877. ee cli ACITY DISPENSARY FOR CH’ TOWN
Yo the Editor of the Examiner.
Dear Six,—A good deal has been said and written during the last two or three years relative to a City Hospital and Dis- pensary, and almost notbing has been done Now. although both are undoubtedly neces- sary in a city the size of Charlottetown, yet
I think if we were not too ambitious we |
should succeed better. A Provincial and City Hospital ought to be provided at the expense of the General Government, as |! would be of service to the whole Island, so that we have not the same direct interest in it that we have in a City Dispensary which would benefit only the poor of the town. and should be provided and sus- tained by the City Government or by the philanthropic portion of our citizens
Let us but make a beginning; and in time the enterprise will grow until it will provide for all the sick poor in our midst. It will require but a small sumof money to initiate the matter. Two rooms could be rented and asupply of medicines ob- tained for a mere trifle, and during the coming winter would be of inestimable comfort and benefit to many a poor sufferer who would otherwise be un-
le to procure any help in_ time of trouble and sickness. I am sure many of the medical men of the city would be willing to give their services to such a project gratuitously. An hour. or even less, for each, once or twice a week, would be all that would be required at the Dispensary, and any visits could be made in their regular daily routine. Any of the young men now studying to fit themselves for the profession would gladly do the dispensing for the sake of the ex- perience afforded. Through this channel too, the charity of the different churches might be distributed to much greater ad~ vantage than it nowis. In Halifax they have tickets representing so much bread or coal, and these are given when needed and can be used for no other purpose than that indicated by a mark on them. I» that city, too, as in many others, one Sun day in every year is set apart as ‘‘ Hospita! Sunday,’’ when collections are taken in all the different churches for this purpose Indeed, what is obtained on that one day Halifax (in 1875 the collections amounted to $2700) would be sufficient to support such a dispensary as would suit our wants, for two or three years.
It issaid Mr. Editor, that the gods help those who help themselves; and I am sure that if the enterprize were once taken ip
d by our citizens, the gods in the City Council will not refuse help.
Lleave the matter in your hands, with the hope that you will not let it rest until this muchsneeded charity has been success fully inaugurated.
{ am, yours truly, E. S. Buaxowarp. Uh’town, Nov, 2lst, ’77.

OUR NEW STUDIO,
we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of iirst-class work, and are prepared to make PuorocraPus of @ Style and Qualily that has never been before allempled in this City. We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the
BEAUTIFUL PHOTO - ENAMEL
the most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elscwhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.
Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautitul
Glace Pictures
which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- iructible, and will retain their freshness aud beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet, ‘This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; | While the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cap have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere,
We give special attemion to making Groups of Fam: lies, Societies, Schools, &c¢
Qur pictures of children are‘ sufficient ‘evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.
Our *NLARGEMENTS, ilnished in India luk, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them- selves throughout the Lower Provinces.
Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. our sitters come by appointment.
Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case We ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will flad our charges very moderate,
