But aside from these considerations, the A council should use the utmost deliberation before taking a step which appears to be fraught with no inconsiderable danger. If it is found that the Barrie business blocks and residential properties pays, on an average ten per cent of their value in rentals and the farms are then assessed in such a manner that they will yieldla ren-i tal of ten- per cent, if leased, what is to prevent any property holder, wliose real estate is not paying him this percentage, from appealing to have his assessment xed on the same basis as the farm lands. The application could only be refused on the ground that farmers and no others were to reap the beneit ofthe new scale of taxation. Surely the council is not advo- cating. class-legislation and unless. the members stand ready to defend their act- ion from some other standpoint there is no alternative deduction to be made. -It is ' _a big question which the council is open- ing\\up, and when it comes before the members for nal settlement, unless other interests are considered as well as those of the farmers, a protest will be made, by the business men, the echoes of which will not by any means die away before the municipal election.
