COUNCIL & HOSPITAL BOARD
At Northland, Mr. R. A. Wright, a candidate for the City Council, said there was a close relationship between the Hospital Board and the City Council as far as the rates were concerned. Some electors thought that because they did& not pay jrates they were immune from local taxation. When the council levied rates for the hospital levy or other purposes everyone paid their share either in rates, rent, or lodging charges. Taxation, like water, found its own level, and in the final analysis the consumer paid. The council imposed a rate on the landlord, the latter passed it on to the tenant who had no alternative but to pay.
