Sir:--At the Ratepayeis'eetinglast Tuesday night, our chairman of Tianspoi tation to]d us that the loss on the ferries was such that it would cost the taxpayers one mill extra. I would therefore suggest that Ex- councillor Watt's idea be adopted viz., that a receptacle be placed on the wharf at gate entrance so that a ticket must be dropped in before boarding, such a system nf tickets being on the same lines as the busses. The limit of change to be as B. C. E. R., $2.00. This would entail no extra wages or expense of making the two boxesasany crdinary wooden box with a slot would suffice, and with a mate or member of the crew watching fares as part of their duties. Hoping this will be well considered by our Council in the interest of the ratepayers who mostly have enough of a hardship even now to pay the high tax, and also for the extra money received by this method, it would be a source of satisfac- tion to our Council. I also agreed with one of the speakers that if the fare had been lowered instead of raised, and things made generally more comfortable on the boats people would have used them more fre- quently. Yours for W. Van.'s progress, M. BULKLEY. I should like to add that this is up to the management and in ro wise reflects on the crews, as they are a fine body of fellows, and I believe trying to do their duty as far as able.

Robinson (May Garland) and I&en Robinson formerly of the Dundarave Garage will be inter- ested in knowing that a son was born to them yesterday, April . 11th, at St. Paul's Hospital.
