The Charlottetown City Council early In 1936 knowingly set. a tax rate that, if 1t. had been collected 1n full, would have resulted In a deficit for the year of $66,663.30, without; making any allowance for the annual depreciation of the City's properties, Including bulld- tngs, drains and water system, streets and sidewalks, etc, wluch depreciate each year to an extent of at least. two percent, and which at that: rate would amount to $42,289.92, making the total deficit for the year $108,953.22. Possibly "Taxpayer" would be willing to pay his share ofthls extra am- ount, but other citizens may not. be 1n so fortunate a position fin- ancially. 1 Judging from letters In the press and conversation that.

ISLAND POTATO XII It. has already been shown that the soil, ln order to produce any vegetation, must; contain a dozen or ntore elements, including tiltrogen, phosphorous, potash and calcium tllme). Each of these wlll become depleted from the soll by heavy cropping unless they are returned in some way-telther by the applic- ation of stable fertilizers, chemical fertilizers or by plowing under legumlnous crop", and such as elovers. It. ls nesessary to consider these essential elements of fertility and what. part. they perform In the growth and development of plant llfe and more especially of the potato.
