The present equalized assessment of the county was reaffirmed for a period of five years at the final meet- ing of the March session of County Council held on Friday afternoon. The question was brought up when (i. M. Drew of Oso moved and J. D. Flake of Miller and Clarendon sec- onded a motion to the effect that they were of the opinion that the time had arrived for a revaluation of the county and that Phillip Wensley, Robert McVeigh and Thomas Purdy be named as a committee to make the valuation. The majority of the council ex- pressed themselves as opposed to a revaluation on the grounds that ft Was an unnecessary expense and that nothing of any real value would be gained by such a step. In this con- nection Dr. Spankie pointed out that i | | i Hard Wood \ Choice Body Hardwood, Soft Mixed Wood. Kindling and Slabs. fol, - Frigidaire , Automatic, Permanent Re~ MNilustrated Booklet W.

Couneillgr Freeman estimated the cost of a revaluation at from $4,000 to $5,000. He said that if the coun- cil kept on spending money on things that they could get along without, there was small hope of ever getting a reduced rate. &. Councillors Sibbit, Kylesworth, Jamieson," Pringle, Kennedy and Stinchcombe, also spoke against the motion and more than one of them hinted at the fact that they thought the assessment of their own town- ship was too high but rather than put the county to the expense of a revaluation they would abide by the present assessment, Councillor* Drew presented the case for revaluation. He said that the northern townships had deter- forated considerably in value in the past ten years because of the fact that most of the timber had been cut. On the other hand provincial -| highways had been built through the townships in the south end of the county and had thus increased their value. Also a great many fine build- ings had been put up in the south- ern townships during the ten year interval since the last valuation. He didn't sée why the cost should be $4,000 or $6,000. It had only cost $1,600 when done the last time snd bo thought that it would be done for $1,000 additional this time.

Dr. Neish remarked that to a great extent the aims of the commercial fichermen and the amateur anglers were similar and that the commere- {| ial fishermen had been approached with a view to forming one large association but the commercial fish- ermen had felt that for the time be- ing it would be better for them to preserve their own identity. The Epeaker sald that it was the pur- pose of the amateur flsfiermen to start: an educational campaign against the breaking of game laws and they intended to start this cam. pelgn with the children in the schools. The speaker devoted much of his time to answering the many ques- tions put to him by the councillors and in answer to ome question he stated that the association would, after the game fish had been given adequate protection, turn their ate tention to partridge to see if some- thing could not be done'so that these RUPTURE ' EXPERT COMING Qananoque and Kingston REPRESENTING THOMPSON-HUYCK (C0.

He asked Dr. Neish what was the chief factor in the destruc- tion of game fish while spawning. Dr. Neigh replied that the fishermen started the season too early, Dr. Spankie said that he had been in- formed that the coarse fish destroy- ad the spawn of the game fish. Dr. Neish declared that the government observers had found that this was noi so., . The representative from Wolfe Is- land continued to work on the theory that the coarse fish did destroy the spawn and he sgid that the fishermen had told him (that netting rediiced the number Df lira fish without hurting the game fish. "At Wolfe Is- lapd thare had been netting : going on for sixty years, he said, and there was excellent bass fishing there while on the American ide of the water where netting was not allowed, they could not catch a single bass. The commercial fisherman was a benefit to the angler contended Dr. Spankie. He also called attention to the fact that under the present law an Am. erican guide can bring his party into Canadian waters take a catch of fish and return to the American side without paying any license or fee, while Canadian guides are not per- mitted to take parties into American waters. Dr. Neish expressed hearty 'ap- proval of what Dr. Spankie said re- garding the - American fishing in Canadian waters.. He declared there were 80 many American trap nets in CenalTan waters that if the Waubic ever got 12 feet out of her course she would become entangled in these nets and would be stranded. He said that the Canadians were soft to let the Americans do everything wkile the Americans refused to let the Canadians do anything. ---- Resolution Adopted. Councillors Cronk and Drew mov- ed that the County Council, in 'co- operation with the city council, en- dorse the efforts to enforce the laws protecting fish and game in the ccunty and asking the Government that all commercial netting in the county except that which had been scientifically proved necessary to de- Stroy coarse fish, be prohibited; and to ask the Government to test the lakés and streams as soon as pos- sible to determine with what kinds of fry they should be replenished. Dr. Spankie and J.. S. Sibbit mov- ed"an amendment to the effect that the council approved the efforts to protect game fish and consider 00D netting a great benefit in the preser- vation of game fish. Dr. Spankie re- marked that the fishermen were do- ing a service to the anglers and at the same time were earning an hon- est living. © Councillor Drew said he was in favor of hoop netting if it was under Government control but from the amendment he gathered that it was tc be allowed all 5veF--the county, and while it might not do any harm in the waters around Wolfe Island, he was satisfied that it would ser- fously deplete the smaller lakes in the north. Dr. Spankie replied that hoop net- ting was already under government control and that regulations that applied. in one paft of the county did not necessarily apply in another sec- tion. i The amendment carried 10:4; It was moved by Councillofs Spankie and Sibbit that it be recom- more | mended to the government that guides to anglers in Canadian waters should be required to have a license a -- GANANOQUE | Gananoque, "March 13.-- Grace United Church choir had a social evening after choir practice on Thursday.
