MAY 3|, l9l7 A sitting of the court of revision was held on Monday night. The chief object was to get at the as- sessment on incomes derivable from furniture factory stock. Such in- comes, it seems, do not come under the Act.’ We have no objection to the court of revision finding out the legitimate incomes that should be assessed but there should be a different way of arriving at :1 11r0per conclusion. It is not fair to pr§ into peeple s private business in a public manner, such as the court adopted at the last meeting. The same facts can he got at in a more private way. If the law allows such public exposures, then the law is Wiong and Ought to be amended. It isnt common sense or common decenm to press for private matters in a public gathering unless in case of refusal to give the information otherwise. At the court, Mayor Laidlaw adâ€" mltted getting a salary of $1,800 a year, Mr. R. H.
