Let ii- have fair charges and fair plav. I once had business do with the I School Commissioners, and took up two quarter-acre sections in Xew Plymouth at a certain rental for a term of years. Shortly afterwards I received intimation; from the lawyers that I was required to take out a lease. On enquiring the cost. I found that it exceeded by some few pounds the aggregate total of rent for the term. Needless to sar, no business was done. Some time since I bought a farm, and before T could take possession. I found that the Government and lawyers' fees totalled up to .lU.nt the fir-t year's profit, and equaling iitmut 2* per acre. There are other proiV--innal charge- tli.it require attention 1.a.11v. :iii.l if 1 e.ir.'d to quote ililanw' T could open your eye- «flmcwhat.—l am. rtc. SO MONOPOLY.
