The main objects the promoters of this Company have in view is to establish in the

|Company, wholly for the benefit of the insured.

i It has no stockholders to deplete its Treasury by enormous annual dividends, and its

CITIZEN’S MEETING.

—

MR. MURPHY’S SPEECH.

Tux following is a summary of Coun-

the Patriot :—

CounciLiton Murpuy said that His Worship bad touched upon some of the subjects that he had intended to speak upon so well and so fully that his task bad heen considerably lightened. There were three subjects which the citizens had to consider—the waterworks, the financial porition of the city, and the j rate of taxation, As hed been said by the Mayor the water works was a dead issue. It was out of the power of the City Council to bring water into the city. If brought at all it will be brought in bya joint steck company who will work at their own risk. Every o.e may ii vest in that stock who chooses. He (Mr. Murpby), for his part, would not hesitate to invest in that stock as he wae satisfied it would bring in a good return |

ior his inves:ment The Water Com. as the Gas Company. It will work in the same way. It will lay pipes ani construct works at its own cost as the Gas Company does, and no one will be under any greater obligation to deal with it and to bay what it bas to sell than he is to purchase gas from the Gas Company. The expense to each family who may choose to get its supply frou: the company will not be on an average more than five dollars, The pipes will cost the citizens nothing, and the water will be paid for by those who use it, and by no one else. There will be no tax. It had been said that he was in favor of forcing water on the citizens as a city work. Fortunately he had put his opinion on record on that matter two years ago. He had then published over his own signature, inone at least of the city newspapers, if not two, an article in which he declared that he would not con- sent to the introduction of water, except by a joint stock company. That was his determination then, and it is his deter- nee It would be foolish for the city to engage in an enterprise of that kind when a company could be form. ed willing to undertake it at its ovn risk, and bring one hundred thousand doilars or so, British gold, to be expend. ed in the city. That company, he re- peated, would carry on the works as a private enterprise, Noone need deal with it who did not believe it to be his dmter- est todo so = Its members must procure an Act of Incorporation from the Pro- vincial Legislature. The Corporation would have nothing to do with establish- ing it or with carrying it on. The city had a large debt upon it, and the ques- tion was, are its finances in such a condi- tion as to warrant the Council in going further into debt ; should the city pur- sue the onward path toruin, The debt of the city had increased rapidly since 1876. In that year he, and some of his colleagues in the Coune cil, bad been reproached with being extravagent, They were told that they bad spent a dollar where fifty cents would have done. New men, who pro- mised to be more economical, were elected, and they, instead of econo- mising, added greatly to the debt of the city. In five years $86,000, or an average of about $17,000 a year was added to the debt of the city. If the city were to goon piling up debt in that way, where would they be in five or oix years? The rate of taxation had not been greatly increased. In 1876 the taxation was 1} per cent., and the city had gone $21,000 in debt. This year the taxation was 1} per cent., and tbere was a surplus, The debt amounted now to over $110,000. This must be paid, A debenture was nothing more than a note of hand which must be met when it becomes due. If the Cor- poration keeps on running into debt without making proper provision for meeting its obligations, its credit wili be injured and its debentures will be depre- ‘eiated. If the city is to be kept from running into debt, and if it is to main- tain its credit, ,taxes must be levied and the rate must be kept up. The burdens of the city had been increased of late years, while its means of bearing them had been decreased. When the Scott Act was applied to the city it lost be tween two and three thousand dollars of its annual revenue, and the demands of | the School Board had greatly increased | the expenditure. It remained for the

VOL. 10.---NO. 46,

|years at 6 per cent., and at the end of that time the debt would be liquidated without paying a cent of the capital in any other form than that of interest. They, in other words, would lend the city $100,000 for 25 vears at 6 per cent.

cillor Murphy's speech, as published in| nd sink the principal. Under the present

arrangement with its creditors, the City will go on paying six per cent. interest on iis debt, for, it may be, a hundred years, and then have to pay the priocipal before it can be free of debe, Under the arrangement with the Credit Foncier the City would pay six per cent, for twenty-five years, and have no more to pay of either interest or yprincipal. He believed that it was quite possible to make this arrangement with the Credit Foncier. He had given a good deal of thought to the arrangement, and would do his best to have it carried out. I, would bs hopeless ever to expect the City’s debts to be paid under the present system of borrowing. While one Council would do something towards paying off the debt another would add as much, or perhaps more to it, but by this scheme if the interest. aloue were regularly paid for the s: ecified term, the debt would be paid. It remained for him bow to deal with the proposed rate of assessment for the coming year, It wes his settled convietion,come to after much thought and considerable experience, that whoever is placed in the Covncil, if they desire to make both ende meet, they must impose a rate of one and a quarter per cent. The Income Tax had been levied, but it could not be collected, I's legality had been called in question, and it bad been tested in the Supreme Court, The Recorder and Mr. L. H, Davies had done their best to establish the legality of the tax, and if any lawyers deserved to win their case, they did, but he had little hopes of a dezision in favour of the city, and it was therefore, useless {o depend upon the in- come tax as a source of revenue. The ons and » guarter per cent. would have ‘o be raised from real estate unless part of the money required could be raised in some other way, or the Council must go into debt, His hearers remembered the bitter contest there had been on the School Question. He had taken one side of that question and many of his hearers the other. Both liad acted con- scientiously, « When the law was passed he ceased to oppose it. He accepted the sitnation,and was prepared to e»-operate with others io carrying it out. Kduca- tion had placed an extra charge on the city revenues of $9,000 a year How was this to be met? was a question for the City Council to decide. It could not be avoided. A deficit of $37,530 had been suffered to roll up in three years because the Council had not the courage to grapple with the question, No Coun~ cillor had asked for a rate to meet this charge. It remained for bim (Mr, Murphy), the opponent of the school lew. to find the meaus cf carrying it into effect. He saw that it must be done, and bedid it. He asked for the extra quarter per cent. to meet the expenses ofeducation, If the income tax could be collected, this one quarter per cent, will not be required, The income tax was, he considered, an equitablestax. There are many in the city who sould well afford to pay taxes and who onght to be made pay their fair share of the civic burdens who could not be come at except by am income tax, He was sorry that the law protected some who ought to pay and could pay. He did not see why citizens whose means were small should pay taxes, while civil servants, who were better off, should be allowed to go free. He (Mr. Murphy) bad been in the City Council ten years in all, and bud given to the city’s business more time and thought ther be had given to bis own, and what he did during that time, whether wise or unwise, was al- ways done, vot in his own interest, but in the interest of his fellow-citizens. ne ee

Small-pox is said to be master of the situation in some places in the United States, and- the people aro almost panie stricken. No disease is more easily fought than small-pox. Enforced vaccination and reasonably strict quarantine arrangements are all that is needed to make it compara- tively harmless. Prevalence of this disease is an evidence of an ignerant or an ill organized community.

people to say if they should levy a rate! of one per cent. and go into debt, or pay, one and a quarter per cent. and keep out | of debt. There was talk of having the rate of interest on the city debt lowered, but before debentures at a lower rate of interest can be issued, it must be shown that the city is in a good financial con- dition. He (Mr. Murphy) believed if the finances of the city were placed on a
