of no cruelty but added that they had had some difficulty in catching dogs to bring them into the pound It has been ne cessary to put a rope around a dogs neck so the man can take the dog I have been a member of the Humane society myself While I havent a dog of my own I have no desire to see any dogs abused The chief says he knows nothing of any cruelty to dogs in town added Mrs Mrs has said it was necessary to put a rope around the dogs neck to be able to take it to the pound said Councillor Was the rope around the dogs neck or vas the dog dragged across the and over the curb on its I saw one dog being dragged Councillor Kent and the action was reported to me another man If the chief has idea of cruelty to dogs he get out of his office There as a hit of snickering in council hen that

that should be used for catching dogs You are not supposed to drag dogs around by the said Councillor The Humane society has been notified already Mr Kent told council Apparently five letters were sent to the society in Toron to by local residents A copy of what was in the press was sent to them and they are going to in vestigate Who has seen these acts of cruelty asked Mrs MacNaugh I am the chairman of the police committee and no one came to me with a complaint The chief says that he knows nothing of cruelty Is it just because of what appeared in the paper that there is all this Just one more thing said Mr Kent Does anyone here know how the dogs are done away with when no one claims them In a gas box replied the mayor Ves agreed Mr Kent in a gas box The police cruiser backs up and a hose is attached to the box and the dog is gassed I have seen one squirming for a few minutes until the gas took effect The discussion was ended by the mayor and council referred the problem to the police com mittee for investigation Wild Truck Ride From Sutton Into Lake Remains A Mystery Readers Write October he Editor ra and Express Ontario Mr Struthers The Era and Express of published a state- by the Office Specially Company Limited the effect that lot Plan is assessed at the rate of 000 per acre Lot Iff winre in the roll when the roll as returned by the assessor on Strangely enough lot ad- fining lot did appear in the oil and according to Mr Spear as assessed at the rate of these lols contains one- nth of an acre and must be assessed for onetenth each Each lot feet frontage and the value mi foot frontage must be there on- Lands immediately to the north the Of fit- Specialty lands on St are separately des cribed and separately assessed al the rate of per foot frontage a rate of per acre These neighbors of this company occupy modest homes and their lands arc on the same side of the street in the same block have the same depth of lot and appear to be reasonably valued compared withj other lauds of similar nature ex cept only the Offire Specialty lands The difference in these values 1000 and 3500 is surely an in justice to the companys especially since the Manual of Assessment Values authoriz ed by the Department of Munici pal Affairs of Ontario states on page Of course the predomi nant factor is the equalization of values with neighboring lands which have a comparable value Whore industrial lands are asses sed on the acrcap basis the esscd value per acre should be comparable to that of adjoining residential land per acre if the land has the same value and meets the same conditions as re gards drainage etc and is not filled laud and while the com- panys neighbors patiently pay their taxes at a rate three or four times higher than the companys rate they have at least the nice feeling of satisfaction that they are paying their full share of town expenses as properly charg ed by The Assessment Act Yours very truly Reeve I By Mike Sutton An
