Sir— l was surprised when I found that two gentlemen (Kissling and Kenrick) against the wish of -the inhabitants of the Grey, are determined to create the power of taxation before the Grovenunent pile the river, make a road; or purchase a bridge. Qn enquiry, I find these gentlemen are: not freeholders, and, therefore, would not be subject to -the -tax they would bring into existence. Air Kenruk; has brought forward a notice of motion before the Improvement Committee to petition the Government to grant us the liberty, of taxing ourselves. I may saythat nine out of every ten freeholders, and a great many of the leaseholder^^are extremjely opposed 'tciiisuch * measure at - prs«ent^and the fw! tLatrdesire it' Rave I »*CobJ|^j|n view, or cb not understands rwhltp^micipal powers mean. •- . ■ *A y ?^^r larn^c-, -<) -M ''ossksp' ' Geo - Simmons.
