municipal council on friday evening the members and reeve met as a court of revision to hear appeals against the assess ment made this spring by assessor h perry if any ratepayers were dissatisfied with their assessment they must now hold their peace as not a single protest or appeal was lodged the only work the court had to do was to confirm the roll as presented to them there are 186 children between the ages of 5 and 16 which is regarded as the school age the assessment this year is virtu ally the same as that of 1924 ex cepting where improvements were made and then it is necessary under the law to put on a boost if the pro perty was not too highly assessed beforo improvements the actual increaso in- the total assessment amounts to 11000 mostly made upby new properties while the population is not going up in leaps and bounds it is at least stable and stands at 10s6 we have 66500 of the assess ment exempt from taxation this is divided 40000 against our town school and 6600 against the mun icipal buildings it would not be any use collecting taxes from these pro perties as the ratepayers would only be taking it out of one pocket and putting it in another the law takes tho same view regarding churches and as a consequence the seven church properties in stouffville are exempt from taxation totalling 19- 300 morton alter renuing a few verses from 1 john 4 where the writer

from debenture debt namely the townships of east york and whitchurch the villages of for est hill and holland landing in the case of east york and forest hill they were so new when the re port was out in dec 1923 that they scarcely had time to impose taxation in the rank of big debt that of york township carries the heaviest which is quite the reverse of its namesake east york york has a municipal debt of 3424733 and a school debt of 21s47s3 none of tho older settled town ships are in the enviable position of whitchurch which has up to now fought free of debenture debt some times however its a
