TN her third talk Mrs.
Fisher reaches perhaps the crux of the problem tackled in her series, in facing the question, ' Why we pay rates.' She shows that besides the services which rates aid the taxes in supporting. there are also services from which some parts of the country benefit more than others, while others belong rather to the whole country.
