BrusselsOnt» 59 The petitioners produced evidence tending to show that their taxes were entirely too heavy. that their lands were purely iartn lands, and that in comparison with the taxes payed by the adjoining ratepayers of Syden- ham, their taxes were very high. Apparently they did not complain particularly of the assessment, which the evidence shows to be only about one-half of the actual value of the lands, but they did complain of the high rate of taxation in Owen Sound. On the other hand, the Town of Owen Sound called many witnesses to Show the advantages of being within the town, and of being close to a market; and also called such men as 'I‘own 'l‘rvasurer Spencer, County Treasurer Parker and other to show that it would be unfair now to take away this portion of the town as such action might eflect the town’s credit, and very likely would affect its future borrowing powers. On the contrary as to this point it was argued that the assessment of the portion that was asked to be detach- The on nship of deenham was, of course. interested in the arbitration, and its township council was daily in attendance. The danger that Syd- enham apprehended Was that if this portion of the town were attached to Sydenham. a certain portion of the town’s indebetness would be carried over with it, and if so, under the Act. Sydenham would need to pay this, and would have no resource what- ever against the lands of the petit- ioners. by special rate or otherwise. to recover this amount. The town- ship of Sydenham. therefore. passed resolutions and filed petitions against these lands being attached to Syden- ham if they were accompanied by any debt. ed is about $88,000, whereas the whole town’s assessment is nearly $3,000,000. The evidence was all closed about 6 p. m on Tuesday, and then argu- ments were heard from council rep- resenting the three interested parties Mr. Frqgt representing the town, Mr. MsKay, the township of .Sydenham, and Mr. Hatton the petitioners. All day Wednesday the arbitrators con- sidered the evidence, and arguments advanced, and on Thursday morning handed out their award. The award rejects entirely the ap- plication of the petitioners; in other words, refuses to allow any lands to be detached from Owen Sound. It, ‘ however recommends a wider inter-1 pretation of Section 8 of the Assess-i ment Act so that the petitioners might be exempted from say 4 or 5 mills instead of 1 1g mills of the rate as at present. The award further recommends opening a street across from Superior street to St. Vincent street about midway between the 10th line and the Garairaxa Road. This ’latter recommendation is evio dently intended to get over the difli- culty the School Board and the east ern residents themselves have alway s felt as to the impossibility of locating a school so as to as suitable to all parties. If such a street were open- ed. a school house built at the inter- section oi it and for Union Street or some other street might obviate the difliculty. The arbitrators further recommended the building of a prim- ary school on the East Hill. The award also recommends the continu- ation of Divion street to the 10th Line. This again is evidently, in part at. least, for school purposes. The result of the award is, of course, that the boundaries of the Town re- main the same.â€"-Owen Sound advero tiser.
