One man suzgested that it looked as if Tiramins was making a special effort through this income tax idea of the assessor‘s ‘\ drive men back to their fannlies. t‘s where they ouglht ‘to be,"‘ commented one present, and **sure thing‘‘ was the fervent response of several of those concerned. ‘*No,"‘ countered another citizen, "‘the idea is to foree them to bring theiwr fanuiâ€" lies hbere.‘‘.This idea, however, only brought up the lack of the dugher educational facilities ‘here, and this in turn developed the statement that on account of the impossibility of securing â€" sufficient â€" teachers ‘here, young chidren now had ito be sent home from school. In touching on (Continued from page i) exemption suggested by the Other ideas brought out inâ€" the thought that 'l‘nmmns was 1n3nred hy the beli@f that this town where ‘the law was even ied to get taxes, such an idea not have the effect of encouragâ€" ople to come here. â€" One man ted that it looked as if Tirmmins aking@ a special effort through begining of the year. There had been many complaints last year, but though given two full weeks to give their case to the Council, none of the kickers chad come forward. Macâ€" pherson, on the other hand, had shown the good work he had done, and so he had been reâ€"engaged with a warnâ€" ing.. Mayor Melnnis pointed out that property had certainly gone up recentâ€" ly and so there would bhe many proâ€" perties assessed higher. â€" There would always be objections to the assessment as most human people objected to payâ€" ing taxes. Apparently there had been some mistakes of judgment made, but these could he righted hy the Court of Nevision. One man told of a propâ€" erty assessed for $200.00 more than he would gladly take for it. Another told of two lots assessed for 250 per cent of the price paid for them. He would gladly sell the two forâ€"the assâ€" essment value of one. â€" Both Councilâ€" lors Neowton and De Feu and the Mayâ€" or told of complaints made to them that on investigation had been found not to be right. In most eases they had been able to convince the compâ€" laining parties that they were not unâ€" faiply dealt with. This led_â€" to the ed the system used hy the Assessor in assessing property. No one could tell just what plan the Assessor used. The President thought just made a rough gue perty values. â€"**Very : perty values. â€"** Very rougn in some eases, ‘‘was one comment. *‘ Weli, I asked him what system he used,"" said Mr Booker, ‘"‘"and he told me at that time that ‘he just took the preâ€" vious year‘s assossment and jumped it 25 per cent.‘‘ Mr. Booker favored consideration of a stated figure per cubic foot for all buildings. This he thought would work out in the fairâ€" est way. He understood this plan was used in Tisdale with general saâ€" tisfaction. _A number of complaints against assessments considered too high were made at the meeting. ‘*Appeal to the Court of Reviston,"‘ was the advice in each ease, ‘‘No use appealing to the Counceil, says Mr. Camphell, ‘‘for Macpherson has them mesmerized.""‘ Mr.â€" Campbell told about going to see the assessor, and the latter threatening to ‘have ‘him fincd $100.00 for asking questions. Councillor Newton okject«l to the reâ€" flection on the Council as to their beâ€" ing mesmerized. The Councail only stood by the assessor hecause he seemed to be a good man for the job ‘and did ‘his work well. If any cases of discourtesy werse brought to their attention they would certainly deal awith ithe assessor and he was civen fully to understand this at the go near the office any more,"‘ he said and in this ‘he was supported by seâ€" veral present. _ Melanis, Commâ€" cillor Newton ‘and Councillor De Feu however, pointed out that this was not the ngh attrtude. Any one with a eomplaint should go to the Council with it, so that justice might be done to ‘all eoncerned. ‘The Mavor also tuey started lie troubile by iner lanâ€" guage and manner, and the assessor, being Seotch, fired up in response. ** Well, I entered into his presence a« quiet and imnnocent as a little lamb,‘ said Friend Wn. McHugh, ‘‘and I came out no wiser than I went in. Councillor DeFen said it was imâ€" possible for an assessor to please all. The assessor had given a. good exâ€" planation .of his work for the town when ealled upon. and no one had apâ€" peared against him.
