TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. Sir, —In our anxiety to better ourselves by “ Separation,” —which must of necessity take time, —do not let us overlook the fact that there are many things we can do at once to improve our present condition. For instance, we want an Acreage Rate instead of the present “tax on improvements,” and although this might not sui t the town of Gisborne, we can get over that difficulty by another improvement: let us have a Town Board. This improvement can be effected at once, and so far from being an impediment to separation, will materially assist in getting things into working order.—l am, sir, Ac., Bumfkin. Gisborne, July 16,1874. [An acreage tax cannot be imposed in the present state of the law.—Ed. P.8.5.~\
