Both Dr. MeInnis And Comncillor Deâ€" Feu made it clear that if there were two possible interpretations to the law they would be in favor of the pust and sonsible one and they felt certain the Council as a whole would have a similar view when sitting as Court of Revision. â€" Folowing this, the presiâ€" dent, Mr. J. P. Bartleman, gave the general opinion of the meeting when he advised all who felt they had been improperly assessed to appeal to the Court of Revision and have the tice remedied. Mayor Melums promâ€" ised also to see if evening sessions could not be arrangzed for the Court of Revisicn, so thiat men appealing mighkt not ‘have to loses one or two shifts to press their case. The Mayor algo explained that while it was often better for any one appealing to he present at the Court of Revision in wease any special explanation had to be made, it was not necessary for a person appealing to be present perâ€" sonally if the case were fully explainâ€" ced by letter. ! l % W hon I"rus‘dma‘; bariieman Caded the Ratcpayers‘ Asssgiation to ordeés. the first business dealt with, after the routine work of reading the minutes of previous meeting, passing ace: ounts, ete., was the qnvsn'n of â€"a crossing at the Qusens‘s Hotel corner.
