municipalities have always found it a vexed question at arriving at equitable values of property for the assessment rolls an edi torial article published in the municipal worldsays that the actual taxable value of the property is the rental value capitalize your rental and you have your actual value there may be and quite pro bably is another cost price and even a selling price but the actual value of land is the rental capi talized mr k- w mckay is editor of the municipal world and is recognized as one of the leading au thorities onmunicipal jaw in the province- the aylmer express says the above may put a new- construction on the assessment law but we are will ing to accept it when mr mckay suggests such an equitable plan this basis is certainly reasonable and corftmendible and if

it is refreshing to read in an editorial of such partisan politics as the montreal star the following dissolution was necessary let us be glad thai we have it and lay our plans to send the finest brains the country has to pull us out of the mire and legislate for the country not for a party and not fortheir own interests that is a philosophy with a real principle unfortunately little of that spirit was manifested in the members of the parlia ment just dissolved irrespective of the party to which they belong an important and loriglookedfor announcement one of the arguments very freely announced when the campaign for waterworks for acton was in progress was that the improvements in hre pro tection thus assured would result in aconsiderable reduction in insurance rates in the town the waterworks bylaw was passed by a large majority the waterworks system was successfully installed improvements to the system and equipment- were made at the suggestion of the canadian fire under writers association from time to time but the in surance rates remained as they had been for years in schedule d when reeve mason came into power as head of the municipality as a practical business man he felt that it was time to have a show down with the underwriters association in the mattter of reduced hre insurance rates for acton with the muchappreciated assistance of excouncillor tor- four months fonjoaigration into canada a complication of immigration to canada for the first four months of the calendar year 1926 shows an increase of 81 per cent over the same four months in 1925 a very gratifying showing theactuiiritg ures are 39442 in four months of this year com pared with 21776 in the same period a year ago theretlave been increases in every month of the year ranging from 16 per cent in january to 132 per cent in march for the four months in ques tion british immigration increased from 9319 to 13- 923 immigration from the united states increased from 4778 to 5797 and from other countries in- creased from 7679 to 19722 ranee beardmore overtures were made to the as- sociatiorr a few weeks ago after repeated inter views and several inspections the underwriters finally agreed that assooiran adequate fire alarm was installed acton wduid be given the more favor- able ratings covered in schedule c immediate steps 3tare taken and the new siren steam whistle alarm was installed at the beardmore tanneries with electric connections with the town hah this com pleted reeve mason and mr beardmore made ap plication forthwith for the reduced insurance schedule the underwriters association then cap itulated and transferred acton from the d to the longcoveted c schedule and supplied all agents and brokers handling insurance on acton property with the reduced rating this new schedule will give reduced fire insurance rates of from ten to twenty per cent which it is estimated in the ag gregate will mean a reduction in the amount of in- insurance paid on their risks by our citizens equal to their dnnual payments in taxes on the waterworks debentures tlie efforts of reeve mason and mr beardmore are certainly worthy of commendation by the people of actoh spotters and bootleggers last week two spotters of the provincial police rounded up no less than thirteen bootleggers in bruce and huron counties they had american license plates- on their car and went around pur chasing booze from suspects some people take ex ception to this method employed by the provincial police in trapping bootleggers but it is hard to understand why the bootlegger is about the lowest specimen of men that walks the street in search of victims they sell to anyone even to small boys and they do it in the sneakiest way possible natur ally they wouldnt come out in the open when their methods of peddling booze are so low then the only way to trap them is by usingparallel methi any reasonable method of bringing a bootlegger to itisjtrstwbed it seems as if this maudlin senti- ment toward lafeiijakers in increasing rather than diminishing lawlessness will never decrease as long as a conviction by the court is considered a misfortune rather than a disgrace

as far advanced as in other years in farmers parlance the wheat is already on the shotear which means that a critical stage in its growth has been passed and itsplants are coming into bloom a good deal depends upon the condition of the growing stalks and leaves at this juncture and it is satisfactory to learn- that there are few signs of blanching or spotting and that a healthy dark green tint over the fields gives evi dence of good nourishment with a fair supply of belowsurface moisture the ifollage now covers the soil sufficiently well to conserve necessary dampness and given reasonable
