understand that around 200 or 250 names have enrolled asking the council to withdraw from the pro posal to construct the road this year the petitioners further pray tltat much of the present road is in good condition and to tear it up would be a great waste just what action the council will take when the petition is presented to them has not been stated but individual members have intimated to the tribune that nothing would be done by them that would be contrary to the wishes of the great majority of the ratepayers the tenders for the new road will close on saturday next and nothing can be done until those figures are finally secured and considered in the meantime several representatives of construction companies have been here to look into the situation one firm which tho tribune got into touch with when here stated that they befieved the tenders would be greatly below the engineers estim ate some construction companies al so claim that the granotithic pave ment is just as good as the asphalt top and would be a great deal cheaper the commission is open to lay either type of road we select so that with all these uncertainties the only thing left is to wait until the tenders are in when we under stand the ratepayers will be called together church hill last wednesday june 4th a number of the relatives of mr and mrs john paisley at church hill gathered at their home to enjoy be

to get a reduction but still the assessment exceeded 192 by s750 after dealing with eleven appeals in which the property owners appear ed personally to contest their cases and with a number of minor ad justments the court of revision on the assessment roll for the town ship of whitchurch confirmed the assessment on friday afternoon without a ripple of trouble after hearing all these property owners in every case the appeal was on the ground of being too highly assessed total appeals granted on tho west side of the township will reduce the assessment by 1250 and on the east side by s00 a total reduction of 2050 as the assess ment on the west side was increased by assessor arthur vanostrand to the amount of 9000 and byvsses- sor jakeman on the east side by 2000 the total assessment of the township for 1930 is still ahead of 1929 to the tune of 9750 george hunt assessed for 1900 was reduced by 200 he pleaded some poor land and an average of 3s per acre as moro than fair according to the manner others were rated near him mrs agnes bunting came over from wilcox lake to protest her assessment on summer cottage of 300 mr vanostrand said he had advanced all lake property from tho minimum of 50 per lot to 100 in this case total taxes were only 9 which tho chairman of the court reeve kidd said wouldnt more than rent a small room in the royal york one night this provoked laughter and under such sunny countenances the court sustained the assessment of 300 john malloy of oak ridgos plead ed that he was really only playing santa claus to tho farmers in his district by keeping open the old grist mill which is laboring under an assessment of 400 of which 100 is buslnes tax mr malloy declared tho business was poor but out of the greatness of his heart he was carrying on for the benefit of those who patronized his grist mill the predicament of the old mill touched the court in a favorable manner to mr malloy and the business assess ment was cut to 50 members of court were of the opinion that the mill was not really a monte carlo for making money on an assessment of 5200 wm black of tho third concession was unable to convince tho court that his assessment was too high and they refused a reduction accordingly a 200 reduction was granted william williams from his 1700 assessment after the assessor had advanced him 400 this loft a net gain of 200 george williams protested against a boost from the assessor of 150 on his 5 acres to s1000 and tho court struck oft 101 or the amount leaving a net gain of 50 percy brillinger declared he paid 3700 for his 114 acres and as ho was assessed for 3100 a reduction was in order there seemed to be some merit to the plea and the court struck off 200 george rudenorff found a sympathetic audience when he told about the twitch grass and sand on the soldier settlement farm which had been a doubtful tax payer on different occasions the assess ment is 2900 but when the court finished it stood at 2500 a cut of 400 road superintendent henry widdi- field appealed against an assessment of 3500 which had been advanced from 3300 on his property at cedar valley when the barn was burned the assessment stood untouched and now a new barn is under construc tion he thought the assessor was a little previous in advancing the figures court thought so too for they placed it back y200 to the old figure of 3300 this ended the appeals against the assessment of the west side made by mr arthur van- nostrand only two appeals were filed on the east side where the assessing was done by henry jakeman james hope is assessed for several parcels of land totalling 212 ncres 70 of which is slash land the assessment is 9800 and he readily got a cut of 4 00 mr hope cited the assessment of many properties to support his contention that ills land assessment was out of joint with almost every property ho has just tho one sot of buildings maurice cohen was fortunate in having his assessment dropped 400 to 2200 on his 100 acres he paid 3700 for the place but acknow ledged that he was a stranger to the township and evidently when he bought he got tho treatment men tioned in tho good book when it says i was a stranger and ye took mo in tho court thought ho had been taken in too for they treated his case with kindness other minor adjustments wore made such as dogs struck off when the court arose reeve herman kidd acted as chairman of the court while members were councillors ratcliff rae evans and deputy reeve wes williams markham township council held a busy session as a court of revision ou monday afternoon last week reeve v c gohu presided and all the members were present the assess ment of the buildings on property of the ltb o home north yonge street was reduced 4s0 harry flavelle of victoria square having closed his business and sold part of his property appealed for a cancellation of the business assess ment and a reduction in the amount assessed to him the appeal was granted a d bruce appeared on behalf of the independent telephone company which appealed on the grounds of re cent legislation wnlch provides a new basis for assessmentthe former assessment in markham was 1034 and this was reduced to 4s0 the home telephone company was re duced from 1570 to 450 r a montgomery claimed he was assessed too high his farm is lots 19 and 20 on concession 9 and he said ho would sell for less than tho assessment it was reduced from 12s00 to 12100 j s baird lots lv and is in the west half of the 7th concession ap pealed against his assessment of 10700 the assessment was con firmed several appeals from e t stephens limited were dismissed and the several assessments con firmed g i hambly and a f white on behalf of the village of unionvillo appeared before the council and asked cooperation in work they plan to undertake at tho north end of the village at the public school the de putation pointed out that the an nual breaking up of the road in this section was admitted largely due to the condition of the ditches if the township council would go ahead with the work of cleaning out the ditches unionville would utilize the fill to cover the ditch which it is proposed to tile in front of the school the township council will meet the trustees on the ground in the course of the coming week and como to a decision william walker of box grove made a proposition to the council that if given the use or the township stone crusher he would crush a quantity of coarse gravel and put it on he road at a price of 250 per yard it was felt that crushed stone at this price was cheaper than gravel one load of crushed stone is worth two of gravel was the opin ion expressed by deputy reeve stiver it has to bo good gravel to be worth hauling on the roads said councillor clark it was pointed out that it was impossible to secure any thing but pit run gravel at tho maple pits this year and the screened gravel was all contracted for some of the gravel put on tho road last year was too coarse it should not have been used it was claimed the price offered was much below the price of stone shipped from tho quar ries and it was the opinion of the members that it would be good busi ness to give mr walkers offer a fair trial an order was placed for 500 yards and it everything is satis factory more will probably be obtained the bylaw re the metropolitan radial carried by the peoplo on may 3rd was
