"It wasn‘t where it should have been," Vic Saloâ€" maa, Tcown Clerk explained. "That s why we couldn‘t find it. But when we were searching for another paper, we turned up the old contract."

"Accesâ€" Iroquois Palls Vacate Cellar With 6â€"2 Majority For the first time in many weeks, the Papermakers have climbed out of the league cellar. Last night they edged out their basement companions, tie Combines, by a 6â€"2 count thus leavingzg the Juniors in sole possession of the doorâ€"mat honors. Last night‘s victory gave the Falls their second of the both against the luckless Combines. Star of the Falls victory was Eric Mongeon, FPalls centreman, who tallied three and assisted in anâ€" cther for a 4 point total. zht in the Combines losing cause was D:novan who tallied both goals. The tilt was a real slugfest with Normie Woon and Gus Lang handing out a total of 21 penalties, 12 to the Juniors and 9 to the Falls. sible only ‘with two keys. One held by he Clerk and one by the Mayor. Then It took the Papertowners just two seconds of the game to hit paydirt. The puck was just faced off and Volâ€" taire took Eric Mongeon‘s pass and sailed in on Fraser, slipping the puck by him. With Reo Caron serving an ititerference sentence, Donovan of the Juniors parked the biscuit past Porter on passes from Jodhnnny Mestan and Pete Marson. The Falls went ahead a minute later when Kenney slapped at a lcose puck in front of Jimmy Fraser, an dthe disc trickled into the net. Penalties to George Gregg Volâ€" taire, Dan Gregg, and Lou Lavallee made things a little warm for Bully Porter in the Falls net but he manâ€" aged to keep the Juniors scoreless. His hottest moment came when Steve Brklacich waltzed in on him on treakâ€"away but Brklacich missed the operft corner of the twine.

Mr. McAlendin never served on the town council before but he has been an avid follower of the council work and is interested in all phases of the work. He worked in the mines until 1947 when he was retired because of sllicosis.

This high . standard was maintained by all following. The numbers included: popular saxaphone solos, by Mrs. H.

TRACE EXTINCT REPTILES among gathers spiders Published In Timmins, Ont., Canada EVERY THURSDAY the in "I am not necessarily trying to lower my assessment merely because I find some fault with the Town‘s method of assessing my property," said Mr. Bartleman. "I feel that the method used at present discriminates unfairly between the assessment of lands withâ€" out buildings and the buildings. "This assessment is illegal," said A. J. .P. Cameron, municipal expert and counsel for J. P. Bartleman in his appeal against the Town of Timmins regarding the "inequity of assessment" last Monday and Tuesday. "As this assessment doesn‘t follow tbhe statuatory requirements of section 39 of the Assessment Act.fit is ilegal," sa‘id Mr. Cameron, and declared that the Timmins had prevailed upon the asesssor to raise the taxes illegally. "The assessing byâ€"law was eriabling byâ€"law and therefore illegal." Following the hearing of the case in which .Mr. Bartleman charged that the assessment was illegal because, "it is unfair and inequitable," and, said Mr. Bartleman ‘"the underlying priniciple ~of the Assessment Act is fairness and equity." In presenting his case before Jadge Dinis, Mr. Cameron stated that the Act said, "Land, includes all buildings that are situated thereon." Mr. Camâ€" eron said that the land was being asâ€" sessed in accordance with the Act but the buildings were not. "And," he contended, "that is illegal." _In pointing out the variance of disâ€" criaminaticn Mr. Cameron showed on map Hollinger property which was assessed for $100 an acre while adâ€" jo‘ning property was assessed $2000 an acre. "Is this a fair and equitable assessment." Mr. Cameron said that the rotation section of the Assessment Act was to allow the town to assess part of the town at a time in order to lower the cost. ‘"They shouldn‘t have applied the assessment until all of the town was asesssed." Said Mtr. â€"Cameron. ‘"By doing so part of the town taxâ€" payers will pay higher taxes a year or more ahead of the other taxpayers." "Our main argument is about this byâ€"law and the inequity of the assessâ€" ment. It looks like a putâ€"up JjJob inâ€" byâ€"law and the inequity of the ment. It looks like a putâ€"up stead of a proper assessment Mr. Cameron. ... "‘The whole thing â€" boils d vii1s, _ sSAict "MT. ~Cameron.â€" t 185 :di1s> crimination against the man with vacant property.

Anyone can see the unfairness of that." Pictures of the property in question were brought out and displayed in court, The terrain was discussed and tke whole matter gone into very thorâ€" oughlv. "The decrease in the assessment of buildings in ‘48 and ‘49 is something which the town of Timmins should be asked to explain," said Mr. Cameron. "Land should go back to the 1948 asesssment when there was an equity of assessment and the buildings should have been assessed in the proper manner." The land on the south side belonged to Mr. Bartleman. Mr. Lamarche, Town Assessor adâ€" mitted that he had deducted from the assessment of the buildings and added to the«assessment of the land, but couldn‘t give a reasonable explanation as to why he had done so. He was also loathe to admit that land and buildings were to be assessed alike. "It is surprising the number of vaâ€" cant lots in Timmins," asid Mr. Camâ€" eron, "where the owner has built a house on one lot and his other lot reâ€" mains vacant. This means that he pays the same taxes for his vacant lot as he does for the one enhanced by a building." "A number of these people will have to let their property go," said Mr. Barâ€" tleman. "It is the little landholder who will suffer if this iniquitous asâ€" sessment is allowed to stand as it is, I am not kicking about paying taxes. But I would like to see the town do the JOb properly _with fairness and- equity." Mr. who is running for council in the 1948 election next Tucs. clay, stated that he was out to see that no one "got stung"‘ on their:assessâ€" ment. "With assessments balled un the way they are," said Mr. Bartleman, "How can the town expect to lower its mill rate? Those who say they can with the mess that town affairs are in, need to think again. With the asâ€" sessment wrong, the Town of Timâ€" mins is not collecting enough taxes from the people that should be paying. Again I say I do not mind paying my shure of taxes.
