From present indication, however, these figures seem‘ to be somewhat wide of the mark. Probably $3,000 would be nearer the ‘igure, and the expense mav be even lower than this. Of course, it is impossible to do much more than guess at the amount, Judg- ing from the number of sittings held and figuring as closely as may be to the probable cost of each sitting; All the arguments in the appeals have al- ready been hehrd except that on the township of Somerville, Which is be- ing taken up this week, the sitting having commenced on Wednesday morning. A brief history of the case may not be out of place at this time. At their June session in County Council appointed three val- uators for valuing the real property of the county for purposes of county taxation. At the June session, 1907, the county valuators made their re- port. Against this report, the muni- cipalities of Sturgeon Point, Bexley, Garden, Somerville, Eldon and. Lax- +nn “in-luv ant] Tnnofnrfl annealed. | Evidence then was taken and the as- isessment of all the municipalities lwas considered before the Judge for equalization purposes. It has been assumed that Sturgeon Point shall be rated at $64,000 for county equal- ization purposes. Sturgeon Point is now. paying on abasis of $16,'187~. The county valuators placed it at $95,000. Sturgeon Point municipali- ty is the only case where indication has been given as to the outcome. It ,IS generally accepted, however, ' that {several changes will be\made in . the equalization figures by the judge. The assessment rolls of each municipality were fyled as exhibits in the case 'and the valuators put in their figures for comparison and as the basis of their equalization. These were considered 1906 thelby the judge, but his chief attention Iseemed to be to find a basis from the {study of the records of sales. This method has been responsible, no doubt to some extent at least, for .the high cost, but as the records of gsales are a very valuable basis when }taken with other evidence, it was, jperhaps, the best method to adopt in 1securing_ an equitable finding: At their June session in 1906 the County Council appointed three val- uators for valuing the real property of the county for purposes of county taxation. At the June session, 1907, the county valuators made their re- port. Against this report, the muni- cipalities of Sturgeon Point, Bexley, Garden, Somerville, Eldon and. Lax- ton, Digby and Longford, appealed. "In the by-law confirming the valua- tion by the county valuators, there was'a clause to‘efiect that in case of appeal final equalization should be made bv the County Judge. The ap- pealing, municipalities expressed their willingness to have J urfize Harding hear and decide the appeals._ This was the first time that the County of Victoria had to deal with :of the Board of health, mr. awn. -Hom, was received and. read, and on motion of Ald. Rea: ascended by Ald. McGeoug-h, it. was decided to have the report published. 'lhc Town Council met in regular session on Monday evening in put- suance to the statute. Mayor Vroo- man occupied the chair, and all the members of council were present. A letter was received from Mr. G. S. Patrick, Secretary of the Library Bound, transmitting the resignation of Mr. R. Kylie from the Bom‘d.; The resignation was accepted on motion. A letter was received from the 0. RR. informing the council that the bill for freight on cannon was cor-' rect‘ as Minder-ed. The account of McLaughlin. Peel Fulton for $296.25 for legal services during the year was submituxl. Sev- eral of the aldemum thought the ac- count was a very reasonable one, as it included the l 1 costs for de- fence in the case Mrs. Breault. against the towh for damages. This alone amounted to $200.

Oysu‘rs oi unfit state were also Leiug sold. Dr. Bumows thought this a. most ser- ious state of affairs” and he believed the council; ‘the people should he made cognizant of the facts. A deputation including Mr. John- ston Ellis. J . O’Reilly, Mr. l‘r. st and others, were heard. and a recomé mmdation passed to the new council for a grant. of $303M a guarantee of 850 for the Poultry Show of 1908. Recommendation was also year, and the question was consider- ed in all its bearings- Eventually it was decided to give the contracts for the se'aBOn as follows :-â€"-John Kearns East Ward, $100; 11. Armstrong, west part of South wand, $90: J. Reynolds, east part of South Wand, $70: these amounts to include pay- ment for what already has ‘pbeen done. The North Ward will be handled by the town team and employees. ' N0 DEFICIT THIS YEAR. The Treasurer, Clerk Knowlson, had a draft of the financial state- ment for the year, and stated that the town would not haVe a. deficit‘ thisyear. or, at most, a very smalli one. A number of accounts were re-z ferred to the committee, and the re- Q ports of the various standing commit-V tees read and adopted. Dr; Burrows then brought up the matter of the sale in town of food sums unfit for use. He said there ve’ere sewn! casts of ptomaine pois- oning from the eating of fish sold an improper condition . Diseased meat. A lengthy discussion took place on the matter of snow plnlfl‘ilg fat: the Wan hiatibn, the vbax colle'ctbr (Mr. Knowlson) was authorized to receive taxes up to January 4th without inâ€" terest. Mr. W. Fee again spoke to the council about the Ops ‘drairn matter. Aldermen Devitt and McGeough ex- pressed themselves on the matter of tht Fanaing Sales Stables, a1 (1 both believed a nuisance was being ‘causetl. that the Mayor be asked to accept $100 as some recognition of his effi- cientscrvices to the town during the year. This resolution was heartily approved of, and all the members presenp spoke in the highest. terms of yhe goo-d services so willingly and so eflicienelymenodemd the town by the Mayor. Reference was also madc' to the pleasant year spent by all 39 the council work. The chairman of the Various com- mittees were also praised for careful and effective management of their de- partments during the ytar. 1 resolution‘ to this cflec' «had received from individual members. The past two years had been very pleasant in their associaâ€" tions. The Mayor also congratulated the council on the way the financial situation of the municipalitv hm! Eta-med out this year. This, he said, 'was most gratifying to him. and he believed would be appreciated bythe peOple in general. After each member of the council had expressed himself on the pleasanfi associations in council during the year about to close and made a. few general remarks on the situation, the council adjourned.
