i since then the reeve has been informed that is was the farmers own dog and another neighbors dog that killed his sheep he shot his own dog and went over to his 1 neighbor and demanded he pay one- i half the value of the sheep killed i the neighbor would give him no satisfaction so he came to the coun- cil with the result previously ex- plained the council has now decided to recover the money from the farm er do you think we have a clear case or are we in the wrong by not having him sign the affidavit could we collect on false pretense 2 1 am of the opinion that every dog in the township including hounds should be assessed the council was thinking of passing a by law exempting people from tax who had their dog tied up and was no menace including hounds because they paid a license to hunt with them in the fall has the council the power to pass a bylaw exempting certain people from being assessed for a dog or hound would it not be contrary to the statutes 3 why has there got to be two assessments in 1947 will the dog tags for 10 10 do for 1917 if we adopt assessment which we have answer 1 the council was wrong in mak- ing payment for sheep killed until the owner made the proper affidavit the municipality is only liable for the amount of damage ascertained by a live stock valuer and reported in writing within thirty days after the owner has filed with the clerk an affidavit that to the best of his knowledge and belief the livestock were killed or injured by a dog but not by a dog owner by him see dog tax and live stock protection act rso 1937 chapter 335 section 10 if the council has good evidence of the ownership of the dogs which des troyed the sheep they may recover the amount of the damages paid fro mthe owner or owners of the clogs by an action in division court 2 the council has no power to exempt any tlogs hounds or others from taxation 3 due to a change in the law future farm barns may be smaller mechanical engineers have often expresed the opinion that improve- intents in the design of barns have not kept pace with the advances in the design of farm machinery thi is not exactly true writes w b denves in an article on the farm barn in the agricultural institute review through the years he says barn designs have improved if changes seem to have been slow there are very good reasons for this situation the replacement value of farm buildings is close to the sales value of the land and buildings a farmer cannot turn in an obsolete barn for a new one so he hesitates to scrap a usable barn and build a more modern one many of the good barns scattered across the older provinces of canada never would have been built if the old barn had not burned perhaps a farmers greatest fear is that of fire originating in a mow full of nay on top of a stable of purebred accredited cows housed in a onestorey metal clad and metal lined insulated and ventilated stable cattle are much safer and if a fire does happen there is more time to release them in an emerg ency an extra five minutes may be the difference between getting the cattle out or not considerable work on the advan tages of feeding and handling chopped hay has been done in recent year- field baling is also becoming popular much research too has been done on mow curing of hay preferably in chopped form either of these methods will reduce the storage space needed and smaller barn lofts will suffice these new methods of hay handling will probably make drive floors obsolete with a saving to the farmer be cause about 25 per cent of the upper storey is now taken up as a drive floor greater use of corn and silos and ensilage hay will reduce barn sizes obviously the changes in barn designs must follow not precede improvements in the mechaniza tion of the farm

system was as fair as it could be made and the present level of exemptions was higher than in other countries in cluding britain the imposition of the regular tax- rates on proceeds from the sale of farm herds was considered unjust by many members john g diefen- baker mp illustrated it with a case of a farmers estate which sold the herd for 25000 and was confronted i with a tax bill of several thousand dollars in one year these condi tions arose through the farmers not because the new rate of income tax will be applicable for only six months of this year it will be neces sary to average the rates effective in the first six months and in the last six months the averaged schedules for 1917 will be set out in the tax bill for use when the 1917 returns are prepared but for the period
