form of assess ment and licenses constituted a large portion of the business dis cussed at the regular meeting of pickering township council held at the township hall brougham on monday of this week the munici pality of pickering has lost some sisoooo of assessment in the recent appropriation of land by the dom inion industries ltd and it is the general feeling of the members that further expansion in this area such as the federal housing scheme now going ahead must bear its fair share of taxation some thirty acres of land belonging to mr hairy arnold was recently taken over for the construction of two hundred new homes for workers at the plant and on monday council gave assessor adam spears the go ahead to assess these new homes the possibility of even hav ing to constitute a new school area in this section is forseen the question of licensing the trailer camps also came up for re view and while forms for the same have been available for some time only one such license has been issued yet reports were brought in of over half a dozen such camps operating assessor spears told council that many felt the license was too low and that it was also nn fair in that a man with only two or three traileis was required to pay the same license fee as one with a dozen the question of raising the tax was passed up for this year at least it was revealed that the assess ment in the township has been m- ci easing from year to year some thirty to forty thousand dollars and nearly double this amount for this year this stated reeye reesor would in someway compensate the township for

curred a debenture debt which still has some eleven years to run de spite the fact that the school rate is lower in the section in which the owner now requests his land to be placed the debenture debt would still follow the land and there could therefore be little purpose in the change council instructed the clerk to communicate these facts to mr varty a bylaw instructing the new constable irvine to enforce the liquor control act within the mnnicipality was given its three readings and passed several liquor convictions have lately been brought in within the pickering confines but since outside police had laid the charges this township bad not received any share in the fines under the existing order if the pickering constable has a con viction in the township the local municipality will receive a fair share of the fine no decision was reached on the request of aithur clark to rent a portion of the sideroad running from the kingston road to the lake shore mr bryant of the 3rd
