Owen Sound, convened the ‘adjourned sitting at the court house ‘on Monday morning at 10 o‘clock, and reâ€"opened the whole matter. _ It had ibeen previously agreed that the basis _of all figures would be the transacâ€" tions of 1925, as recorded on the : books of the registry offices, which Lbroughr, the court down to a specific basis on which to work. The chief ‘witness was Mr. J. N. Perdue Regisâ€" , trar for South Grey with office at :Durham. He was questioned at some length by counsel for the munic‘paliâ€" ‘ties with regard to land values and 'prlces paid for properties in various | parts of the country, and it was durâ€" !lug the taking of his evidence, when ;there were certain discrepancies reâ€" , vealed in the figures as obtained by the committee and the actual figures, that the Court suggested that it might !be well to try and arrive at a settle ment of the whole matter. This suggestion was acted upon and the court adjourned shortly before ncoon, and the conference started to get down to business. It was quite late in the afternoon when it was announced that a settlement had been arrived at, and although no figures were given out, it was stated that the basis was a reduction of 25 per cent. on the increases of the assessâ€" ment as contained in the report of the special committee, which was adâ€" opted at the June session of the County Council. This means that the 25 per cent. reduction will apply to @ll municipalities which received inâ€" creases and not only those which apâ€" pealed from the assessment. The special comnrittee of the County Council will meet at once and go inâ€" to the figures, and will bring down their report at an adjourned session of the court to be held at 2 o‘clock on Thursday afternoon, October 29. ‘ The 25 per cent. off means that Durham‘s increase of $110,000 in asâ€" sessment will now be down to $82,500 and total assessment will be $487500. It means a saving to the town of about $300 of the expected increase in the annual payment to the County of over $1200. Ten municipalities which had been raised, will benefit by this settlement: Durham, Hanoâ€" ver, Neustadt, Markdale, Flesherton, Meafordl Dundalk, Keppel, Sarawak and Derby. A reduction of 25 per cent of the increase on all munic‘palities in the county of Grey which were given an increase by the special committee of the County ‘Council and which was adopted by the County Council on the equalized assessment was the basis of a settlement which was reaâ€" ched late on Monday afternoon folâ€" lowing a confereuce between the repâ€" resentatives of the several municipaliâ€" ties directly concerned and the specâ€" ial committee. The actual figures have not been worked out by the committee and will not be available until the next sitting of the special court on October 29. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO 1 Happy Thought Range.
