COUNTY REVALUATION IS WARMLY DEBATED The Budget Delayed Thereby --By~law to Authorize a Revaluation. Is the County of Frontenac to have a revaluation this year or is the old assessment to stand? Both sides of this question have their warm champions in the County Couneil and as yet it is impossibie to tell which will prevail. At the March session of council, Councillors Drew and Flake moved for a revaluation, but their motion was defeated. It was then moved that the present valuation be confirmed for a period of five years. This amendment car- ried by a considerable majority. On the second day of the June session when the by-law was introduced to confirm the equalization of the as- sessment of the county of Frontenac, Councillor Drew, to borrow the ex- pression used by one of the coun- cillors, "threw a monkey wrench into the county machinery" by in- troducing an amendment that the by- law be not réad a first time. As a result of this amendment which was carried, the budget for the year could not de made up. So much for Wednesday's session. On Thursday the battle still waged. It was known that something would have to be done to enable the treas- urer to make up a budget for this session but the councillors couldn't agree on what was the best plan to carry out. Councillor Sibbitt wanted the by- law introduced again but some ob- jected that this would be taking the matter back to where it was on Wed- nesday and would simply be wasting time. Five Years Too Long. Councillor Jamieson charged War- den Graham with being determined to bring on a revaluation whether council wanted it or not. The war- den replied that the charge wasn't true. He said that he had just re- ceived a letter from the county soli- citor informing him that the action taken by the council at the March session in confirming the present as- sessment for the next five years was not legal. The council could only extend the assessment for a year at a time, when the regular time for which the valuation had been made, had expired. Couneillor Freeman asked, if such was the case, why the council could- n't extend the present assessment from year to year. Councillor Drew sald that the northern townships had a lot to gain and nothing to lose by a revaluation, Dr. Spankie finally cut the Gordian knot when he persuaded Councillor i Drew that there could be no object in 'blocking a by-law from a first reading; that if he did not agree with it he could vote against it on | the second . Mr. Drew then verbally withdrew his objections al- though no motion was made to re- cind the amendment passed on the previous day. First Reading. The by-law to confirm the equali- zation of the assessment was thea in- troduced and read a first time. It was moved by Couticillor Jamie- son and seconded by Councillor Free- man that James Boal, of Battersea, be appointed a trustee of Sydenham high school in the place of Mr. J. B. Anglin who had resigned. Council. lors Drew and Stinchcombe moved an amendment that H. J. Thompson, of Sharbot Lake, be appointed. In speaking to the motion Counell- lor Jamieson pointed out that his nominee lived in the vicinity of the school and would be avallable for board meetings while Mr. Thompson lived in the north and would experi- pointing more northern mem to the board that the north as a whole would take more interest in the school and utilize it to a greater ex- tent than heretofore, Mr. Stinch- combe also spoke. The amendment was carried. A New By-law. Councillors Drew and Barr gave notice that on Friday they would in- troduce a by-law to authorize the revaluation of the county and to name commissioners who would re- port the result of this revaluation at the November session. The'report of the County Property Committee, which was adopted, let the tender for coal to the P. Walsh Co.,, at $13.25 a ton for egg and chestnut coal and $13.50 per ton for stove coal. The contract provides that the coal shall be weighed on the city scales at the cost of the county. The report of the Good Roads Committee which was adopted let the contract for painting and clean- ing the Loughboro bridge to the On- tario Bridge Company at $1.40 per lineal foot. R. H. Fair, the county engineer, was empowered to pur- chase the stone quarry at Harrow- smith at a cost not to exceed $225. The committee recommended that no action be taken this year in the pur- chase of an air compressor drill. Sharbot Lake Councillor Drew, chairman of the Roads and Bridges Committee, re- ported on the Sharbot Lake bridge. It had been temporarily repaired, he said, but more permanent work would have to be done. He suggest- ed that if the council wouTd give him authority, he would look after get- ting out stone this fall to make a fill under a part of the bridge. He be- lieved that by getting out this stone iz the fall the county would save considerable money. Mr. Drew fin reply to a question sald that there was a place about 75 or 80 feet long where the water varied from 8 fo 12 feet to be filled in. He hoped to get considerable financial assistance from the provincial government. The question was referred to the finance committee. Council then adjourned. HAS GONE TO ELGINBURG.

WHY WOMEN AGE BO FAST One often sees tell-tale signs of ap- proaching age in women earlier than their years warrant them. Lines ap- pear, the complexion is sallow, the hair is prematurely grey, the zest of life has gone.
