Norman Buss presented a largely signed petition, protesting against a lditch which it is proposed to dig on {the west side of tue road running {north of Thornton's Corners past {the school buildings and adjoining |property. The petition was to the effect that if the proposed ditch were dug it would not be the natural course of the water. 'After some dis- {cussion the Council agreed to ap- point an engineer and have propér levels taken and then decide where the ditch should be placed. After the reguiar Husiness session, the Council resolved itself into a Court of Revision to deal with any appeals of assessments. Very few appeals were heard. Robert Smith contended that his assessment {seemed rather high when compar ing it with those of adjoining prop- |erties and pointed out that one of his neighbors with better buildings al- {though not quite so much land was assessed for $500 less than he was. | After careful consideration the as- sessment was reduced from $1,800 to $1,500. Appeal Dismissed Messrs. Flintoff and Vickery de- iclared that the assessment on the lots on Park Roard North was al- most double what the property was actually worth. Some of the they claimed, were worthless. The {land had never been used for any- {thing but farming purposes although it had been subdivided. Mr. Flintoff thought it unjust to assess them {for more than they were worth and that they would willingly sell the {lots for $300. Coun. French thought it would not be fair to the other tax- payers to reduce this assessment. Mr. Flintoff declared that the rea- son others did not appeal was be- cause they only owned ome lot and it was mostly Toronto people who were the owners. The appeal was dismissed but Mr. Vickery gave them notice in writing that an appeal would be entered and the matter taken before a judge. this | lots, | PICTURES DEPICT WORK OF NAVY Capt. Smith Secures Special Film of Official Views from Admiralty An insight into the part played hy the British navy during the war, both in protecting the coasts of the Em- pire, and in keeping the food chan- nels clear of 'mines and enemy ships, was given a number of citizens Sat- irday forenoon at the Regent Thea- tre when Captain Edwin Smith R. N. R., of Oshawa, had screened a film of 12 reels which he received from the Lord of the Admiralty, de picting every operation of the navy. Captain Smith's war record as a commander of several important ves. sels is known to many in Oshawa. This is the first time the film has been shown in Canada, Capt. Smith receiving it direct from England at considerable expense to himself. Many of the scenes were taken hy himself or under his direction, with 'the consent of the admiralty, and reveal many naval activities, parti- cularly by what was known as the mystery ships, that were kept a se- cret during the war.
