Sin-The time has arrived when the owners, particularly of wood built property, will be compelled to arganize for self protection against excessive taxation and other civic impositions. It is now taken for granted by the City machine. that we have no rights in the commun- lty, apart from paying the lion's portion of the costs of their extra- vagance.

This year's assessment valuations are being slowly disclosed to tax- payers, and. as far as they go. they evidence the biggest bungle of an assessment ever known in Charlot- tetown. As a large owner I ask. and taxpayers should join me in demanding, a publication of the .vhole list of valuations, so that they can see for themselves the fa- vouritism of the chosen few as against the property interests oi the more numerous, but smaller class.

Brick and stone buildings, from their very nature, are free from the costs of repair and unkeep, which wooden buildings can not es- cape. A business places they al- ways co mand much higher rents. are rarely vacant, and with good paying tenants. Insurance is also very must lower. are lower in comparison with capi- tal costs. Tenants are constantly on the move, sometimes paying, and often skipping the rent. ‘These re- main idle awalting new occupants. and with each change of tenants, a bill for cleaning, papering, painting and fitting it for the next occupant. And yet with these handicaps, those experts, taken from behind their counters, assess all brick prop- crtles at from 25 to about 40 per- cent of actual value, while the wood- en properties are appraised, for taxation purposes. at irom 60 per cent of value up to from 200 to as much as five hundred per cent over the actual original cost. A publi- cation of the assessment roll. as ,re- quested above. will establish thlsgto the satisfaction oi any reasonable judge of property values.

Along the line of personal prop- crties the fraud is even greater. In- surance underwriters can give val- uable testimony to prove this. They are now carrying insurance to the tune of hundreds of thousands oi dollars. upon stocks which the sworn statement oi assessors de- clare to be worth only from one half to one third the amount insur- cd for.

assessments, in me heart or the

fill-y. surrounding the Square, it is

safe to say there is an under as-

sessment of about a million dollars, for which a corresponding extra 19W l8 imposed upon the outer por-

tions ot the city.

This situation has become intol- erable to those who are being u“- duly fleeced to keep up the costly civic machine, with its donations with a lavish hand. and its scatter- ing o! our monies in places where they do not reap.

Assessments of this character, I am advised. have been dealt with in nu- merous courts both British and Am- erican. In most cases a limit of er- ror, or variation in values, not ex- cceding ten per cent has not been held to be fatal. In odd cases. be- fore exceptional judges. and wherej the errors of value were very few in

number, a limlt oi’ iliteen per cent] saved the assessments and tax lev-i ies from being quashed by judicial, decision. But in no case in the; English speaking realm were varia- tions such as ours, from fifty to two hundred per cent, allowed.

If all properties. real and person- sl, were assessed at their full actual value, by men competent for the job, besides being fair to all, a rate of one and a half per cent of taxa- tion would amply provide all the necessary revenue for civic purpos- es. Under this method there would be no hardship imposed upon any taxpayer. It would be a. good move to have the present bungle quash- ed, and a new valuation, by assess- ors with some knowledge oi prop- erty values, of which there are surely men in the city competent to undertake.

Considerably more will be heard at. the Appeal Court if a man gets a man's chance where favourltlsm will be shown up and equal rights for all men will be declared.

On Charge of Manslaugh ter;

ST. QUENTIN, N. B., Sept. l6.—- Mrs. Agnes Milliard, of this place, was sent up for trial before the court of King's Bench in April on a charge of manslaughter. The de- cision wss given here yesterday by Justice of the Peace. l... B. Somers. before whomthe preliminary inves- tigation had been held. The accused] was released on $10,000 bail. Coun- sel in the case, together with Con-i stable George James. of the New! Brunswick provincial police. row turned to Campbellton later. i

The accused, proprietress 0i a‘ genera! store, had been arrested by. the provincial police following the, death of Peter Fltzback, a resident at this locality, which occurred u‘ few weeks ago and was alleged to be clue to drink essence of winter‘ green sold to him by Mrs. Milliard.

The court did not uphold applica- tion of counsel for the defense to have the case dismissed and found the evidence suflicient to place the accused on her trial.

Delegation Withdraws from Cfiference

PARIS, Sept. l5.—lnsistenca by cable companies that code words be limited to five letters, figures or signs, caused withdrawal from the international telegraph conference at Brussels of the delegation of the international Chamber of Commer- ce. Robert E. Olds. former under- secretary of state at Washington, headed the delegation.

“We represented the users of ca- blrs. and we preferred to withdraw rather than sanction by our pres- ence an increase in message costs. which we considered abusive," said Mr. Olds to the Associated Press on, his arrival in Paris this evening. He pointed out that the acceptance of the cable companies‘ ultimatum would mean that all existing cable codes would become obsolete. lie

ssid that even the department of state would have to adopt a new code.

“The change would mean a break up on progress, impede the normal development of trade, and increase the cost of using telegraph and ca- ble facllities throughout the world. he said.

"The amputation o! five charac- ters from each cable code group would mean n50 percent increase in the revenue of cable companies on such material. If, for instance. they were daily transmitting fifty thous- and such words at present, the change would give them the right

to charge ior a hundred thousand words.“
