Ormis- jon and Robert Reid. were disposed of in two hours. ie English Inns Property Trusts & Guarantee Com- , Toronto, through Duncan Mc- , of Whitby, was unsuccessful in an appeal against the assessment of English Inns, Ltd., who about two s ago purchased two acres of land on Dundas Street west from i ph B. Mitchell, for $3,600, The ~ appellants are the trustees in bank- Suptey for English Inns. The land is ssed this year at $1200, or $600 an acre. Mr. McIntyre contended that this valuation was too high, and ubmitted as proof of their conten- tion report from Albert W, Jackson, who made an independent valuation, stating that at the outside the land | was not worth more than $250 an b @cre, as it was only good for farm i property, there being no buildings pt Frencon. H. L. Pringle, assessor, | submitted to the Court assessments . on other lands in the same vicinity, of which did not have the same pth, but were assessed higher.

H. Kennedy, Mrs. Greenwood, Dundas Street East, was granted a reduction of $150 on her land as- sessment. She was assessed this year $350 on lands and $2600 on buildings. Mr, Kennedy contended on the ground that it was too high. f.| The assessor gave the figures as 1220 on the land and $2,000 on the Idings. Some of the land facing on the concession was shown to be low and wet, and hard to cultivate. He has 8.05 acres, not quite suffi- cient to bring him within the farm- ers' agreement. The Court fixed his fissesement at $2,815, the same as ast year, Business Tax Cut OF The Court, after listening to Miss McKee, proprietor of the Whitby Private Hospital, voted to exempt her {from paying $1200 business as- sessment. This means a considera- tion of about $30.00, Miss McKee appeared before the Town Couneil some time ago, asking for assist- ance towards bearing the cost of keeping indigent patients. The best she could do for these was $2.00 a day, she said, which included day and night care, leaving her nothing for her time. Miss McKee contended that she should also have a redue- tion in her general taxation. The Court could not see it and refused consideration. The Court felt that she had been. generously dealt with in her business tax exemption. John Miller appealed on behalf of the John Miller estate against an assessment on a property on Brock Street north, formerly occupied by F, D. Maundrell, and now vacant, Buildings and land are assessed at $4,600, On representations made by Mr. Pringle, the assessment was re- duced to $4,000, North Ward Flaystound The Trustees of the Roman Catho- lic Separate School, through Mr. I, J. McIntyre, asked for an exemp- tion on three lots adjoining the old that a building now under construc- tion by Mr, Cohen, of Oshawa. i»! an arrangement made by him with Council obstructed Mrs, Greenwood's view and otherwise les- sened the value of her property. He claimed also that on account of the condition created by Mr. Cohen, water would run on to his client's property. Mrs. Greenwood denied that she had been offered $4,000 by Mr, Co- hen for her property. She was ask- ing $4,600, she said. The Court décided to allow Mrs. Greenwood a reduction of $150 on her land assessment and leave the |' house as it is, Property Not Redeemed Because Mr. Louis Levine had not redeemed property which the town had bought in for taxes, the Court would not listen to his claim for a reduction in his assessment on twenty-five orchard lots assessed at $80 each, The Court contended that Mn Levine must own the prop- erty in order to be able to appeal. The clerk stated that the town could register a deed against the proper. ty at any time. Mr. Levine was told that if he redeemed the property he could take his appeal to the county judge. The assessment on his lots was not considered to be out of the way. : Thos. E, Martin and Mrs, Rebekah oe ocean! .., J.

Mr. Melntyre stated that the trustees were willing to declare the lots a public play- ground for the north ward if they were exempted, and the Court ac- cepted the proposal with favor, as it was felt that such a playground was needed in that ward. Exemption was granted. * William R. Smith appealed that his essment was too high. The or's figures are $2800 on build- and $135 on land. The Court, after listening to assessor's repre- sentations, reduced the buildings to $2,600; J. E, Johnston appealed against un assessment of $40.00 on a lot which he bought from the town af- ter the farmer's agreement had been settled, but which he claimed was in- cluded in the land set forth in his | name in the agreement. He objected to paying on the additional $40. The Court tried to point out to Mr. Johnston that his assessment this year wags actually $310 less than last year, vet he was appealing. After considerable discussion and argu- ment, the Court confirmed Mr. John. ston's total assessment at $2,490. Mrs. Margaret DeLong appealed against an assessment of $4,125 on buildings on the ground that it was too high. She said that she was ask- ing $6,000 for buildings and lands. After some consideration, during which surrounding assessments were compared, a reduction qf $200 was granted on buildings.
