Hard on Municipalities. While this suggestion on the part of the Newcastle member would naturally appeal to many returned men so placed as to come within its meaning, it was obvious at the outset that the spirit and intent of the sugges- tion were totally out of harmony with the ability of the Legislature to acquiesce.

And in the second place the power of exemption or rebate in respect of municipal taxes does not rest with the Government at £2,000, and upon which all his taxes were paid Under the Hawthormthwaite proposal this man, probably quite well off, would be entitled to a refund of all taxes paid by him during the whole period of the war.
