THE CORPORATION AND THE £l.
TO THE EDITOR OF TUB KVENINIi MAIL. Pin,—l noticed with regret that Oouiicilior Proctor's motion to decrease the ft* payable to the Corporation when dealing with Municipal leases met with so little support at the hands of hi.s fellow-Councillors. It is really a monstrous extortion that 1 should have had to pay Ll.» upon getting ft transfer of a scotion to me ; another hi when I mortjaged it for 1/20 ; another hi when I mortgaged the equity of redemption for 1» fact, L 3 upon » section worth about 1.35, or nearly 10 percent., in addition to law charges, stamping, registration, &e. Truly this is a country where a poor man is encouraged to make a homo for hinii self ! The Kducation Hoard in Duncdin only charge 10s. 6\l. for similar permission, and in their caoc a number of signature* have to be obtained.—l am, >Vo , Lkaskiioi.ihui.
