HIT BOTH WAYS
(To,ttte Editor.) ~- ..-■. '• Sir,—-In a recent issue of .''The Post", it was reported: that the .Johnsonville Town Board.had decided to; raise'rates by 10 per cent.* partly on account of the State Advances • Department re-< fusing to pay ::iateC,;on property-held by it. In the • same issue, were stat6ments by Mr. Forbes','and .the : Eniployors' Federation hplding.'out-no.hope whatsoever of.: any. increase >6f wages for some time to, come. Now,. Sir, there arc many of-us who have persistently tried to meet our obligations and findc, it pretty hard to 'tiianage. There are many; of us, who ..will only be able to pay. half our'rates instead of in full; therefore I venture to predict the Johnsonville Town.; Board will collect;-less money withits' 10 per cent, rise.—l am, etc., '■■■'■ /'■. ■ '",■_'./■ ■''./ S.■;■'
