November 26th Date Set for Hearing on Counties Equalization The November meeting of Colborne Council was held Monday, 11th, with the Reeve, Harry A. Grant, and Councillors Ira Edwards and Capt. W. J. Troop present. A letter from Judge O'Connor gave notice of a sitting at Colborne on Tuesday, November 26th, at 2.SO p.m., at the town hall, for the taking of evidence for the purpose of Counties equalization. Persons from different parts of the village are asked to attend this inquiry for the purpose of assisting the Judge in arriving at valuations. This equalization was brought about by the appeal of Darlington Township against their assessment for Counties purposes. The. same township brought on the equalization of five years ago. but its representatives have never been satisfied with the result of the equalization at that time, but have striven for a further reduction of $500,000. The; Judge's award fixes the equalization for five years. The rule has been that the appeal of any one municipality opens the question for the United Counties. A letter from the Ontario Department of Highways gave notice that* the Highwav Improvement Act now^ provides that the King's Highway will continue through all towns under' 2500 population. Under these circumstances the licensing of gasoline^ j P'im.ps,' signs, etc., as applies on rural sections of the Highway will continue through these Municipalities with the fees payable to the Depart- The Council feeling that the new regulation is unfair to the villages, it was moved by Capt. Troop and seconded by Ira Edwards: That the Reeve and Clerk be authorized to notify the Department of Highways that this Council respectfully protest against the Department taking charge cf the connecting Tnk and the licensing of gasoline pumps, service stations and signs, within the village. riled. were con- 2.92 J.

Many of the farmers of Eastern Canada who fed Western lambs during the 1934-35 winter under the Dominion Lamb Feeding Project are placing increased repeat orders, in many cases1 asking for double the number of lambs they fed a year ago. The applications, particularly from Quebec and Ontario, reflect the abundant supplies of hay, grain, silage and other crops in Eastern Canada. page 5 Read condensed Hydro Extension in Haldimand Township Vernonville, Nov. 4th, 1935--Hydro is extending its lines in Haldimand Township.
