Does he wish to be his own policeman and fire brigade ? Does he want to drink disease-laden water ? Does he want to banish parks, libraries, museums, and art galleries ? It is these services which have caused the increase in rates, not municipal trading in trams, gas, electricity, and water. Education costs 7 millions a year more, highways 2 millions a year more, poor relief 2 millions a year more, police 2 millions a year more, sewerage 2 millions a year more, lunacy I million a year more, pub...lic lighting I million a year more, and the interest and sinking fund payments n millions a year more. As regards the last item, it must not be forgot- ten that the trading undertakings, gas, water, electricity, and trams, pay their own interest and sinking fund charges out of revenue. The increase of rates under this head is caused by interest and sinking fund charges on the debt for un- remunerative services, highways, sewerage, edu- cation, &c.
