dept at queens park and as a result have decided to embark on what is called the card system hereby every residence will be measured and the assessment reached after dud consideration to i the actual value and the rental lvalue school costs farmer members hold are assessed out of proportion against the farmer and correctness of the claim will be carefully analy sed the reeve stated that the assessment dept have oftered the township the services of one of their experts in setting up the card system and in assisting to educate the taxpayers on how it works for this purpose ihe services of
