(To the Editor).

Sir —I often wonder what becomes of all the rates. When the night cart started, they (the councillors) put on 3d in the £ t the second year another Bd—that is 6d in tho £ we paid for the sanitary affair; then a year or two ago they put on an extra 10s, 6d a pan, last year another 6d, and know I see they have made another big jump up to 14a 6d, besides the 6d in the A Methmks that this mußt be the milk cow to draw from to pay for white elephants; they cannot spend it on the gas. as we are paying for that and getting very little this last four years, or since the war started. It is not on the Btreets, as a coat of metal has not been put on them for so many years, they are pretty muddy sometimes; and we have a road scraper, which was bought to clean the mud off the streets, and was only used once or twice, but I suppose it is now in the scrapheap. Hoping that someone will be able to enlighten me on the subject, and as to whether the rates will go up each year.— I am, etc., _ Batepaylr.
