The last two amounts `are. special for this year only.

Against this balance is charged our porportion of the administration of justice which costs the county be- tween $12,000 and $14,000, and if our proportion was assessed on assessment it would amount to, roughly, 1-16; if on population about 1-12, or around $1,000 to $1,- 200. Then `again we have the privilege of sending our indi'gent.s_ to the county" poor house at a cost of $1.85 per week (in 1909-.w.e `sent nine, in\ 1911 ten, who averaged 200 days). -I am not sure if this privilege would be continued if theatown separated from` the county. nil. - 0 The county council s_ levy this year amounts to $7,242.70 and is based on an assessment of '2} mills on the actual value of Collingwood property. This actual value _ 2 was determined .by referring to, the Registry oice for the years 1909, . and 1910, for all sales made, and comparing amohnts with their as- sessed values, ` with the result that 1 during these two years I nd the total selling [prices amounted. "to $135,435 and their assessed values amounted to` $112,635. Therefore I 1 i the county council gures Co11ing- wood s assessment is 83 per cent. of selling price `on, actual value. On this actual value they levy a rate of 21 mills, amounting this year to $7,240.70.
