Owing to the cold, stormy night, not as big a crowd wag pre sent as otherwise would have been, Mr. Alex. Murdock, clerk of the vil lage was called to the chair and om the platform were Reeve Geiger Councillors Higgins and Consitt, Mr Geigex* was first called on and thank ed the people of Hensall for electing him reeve by acclamation. Mr. Geiger gave a splendid address touching on the finances of the town school and county. He also gave a review of the work at the County Home and also spoke of the steps taken by the 192 6 council to secure better fire protection for the village. Mr. Geiger spoke for'a few minutes on the County Equalization, after which Councillor Robt. Higgins was called to speak on the Equalization report. Mr. Higgins thanked the electors present for the splendid vote given him on Monday. He spoke for a few minutes on the town a .’id school finances, and then gave a ie- view of the County Valuators’ report as it effects Hensall. He gave the reasons leading up to the appointing of the valuators, and read the motion as passed in committee, that the Val uators’ commission be composed of three members, one from the urban and two from the rural municipali ties- of the County. The men ap pointed were C. A. McDonell, 1-Ien- sall; W. H. Coates, Usborne; and Charles Stewart, of Ashfield. In case any one of the three members refusing to act, it was left to the warden’s committee to fill the., vac ancy. Mr. McDonell, of Hensall re- fuse'd to act, so the Warden’s com mittee met and appointed Mr. Wm. McQuillin, of Wawonosli, completely ignoring the claims to representation on the committee of the towns and villages of the County and the men who acted apparently did not take into consideration the conditions that exists in the..villages of the County to day?-^ Twenty years ago, when the last County Valuation was ‘ made, Hensall was a flourishing village, with about a dozen industries run ning full time, a large oatmeal mill, flour mill, salt well, foundry, two saw mills, two plaining mills, a large ■ coopei* shop, flax millsraand othex* in dustries; where to day, there is only the flax mill Running part of the time and the working men of the vil lage cannot secure work. Twenty years ago the assessment of Hensall for town purposes was $284,205 and the County Valuators at that time thought that assessment; too high, and made a twelve per cent, reduc tion, or $250,400. If the County Valuators of to day had looked at the matter as the Valuators of twenty years ago did, Hensall’s new valuation would have been 'about $345,000 or $100,000 less than valu- ated by the present' valuators, and an amount that the Hensall people’ would have been satisfied with. The County Valuation for assessment purposes has been raised, from $42,-, 501,400 to $45,892,400 or a differ ence of $3,391,000 of which the ten little towns and villages of the County have been raised $2,592,410 leaving the balance, of $798,590 to be assessed over the 800,000 acres or more comprising the Township’s part of the County of Huron or ac cording to the Valuators’ report the farms of Huron County are not worth a dollar an acre more than they were twenty years ago, and tak ing into consideration the' great amount of building, draining and fencing done on the farms, and the vast amount of money, spent by the County and Government in improv ing the roads. Mr. Higgins claimed that the earning powor-fof the farmer was as good as ever it w,as, if not better, when the earning power of the man in the small village is get ting less every year. People in pass ing through say what a fine built up village we have, but they said the same things of the fine buildings at St. Joseph a few years ago, and what happened to St. Joseph with nothing to back it up, and the same thing is going to happen to a lot of the qmal'l places in Ontario. Mr. Higgins claimed the County should take these things into consideration when making their County Valuation, should consider algo the amount of money spent by the County in build ings good roads .with the result that the farmer is going to the larger places to do business to the detri ment of the smaller places. Work must be found for the working men in the village or they will have to leave, and that means vadant houses. The speaker before he sat down showed up same of the assessments in the townships and compared them with the sellitig price of the same farms, Lot 13, Concession -2, Us borne, Township Assessment is $6200.00 and was sold some time ago for $10000.00, Lot 20, Con cession 2, Ste'phen, (if we remem ber tho figures correctly) is assess ed under $6000.00 and we .don’t think tile owner would consider an offei* less than $12000.00 for that farm. The Moyoart farm on the 1st Concession of Hay sold tho other ’day for over $9000,00. Mr. Higgins gave'1 these figures as an example of farm values, in this district, and in spite of tho fact tha't the Huron County Valuators, say that tho farms of Huron County aro hot worth a dollar an acre more than they were 20 years ago, Mr, Consitt was then called on and gave if short address thanking the Electors for electing him to tho now Council, but said lie was not suffi ciently posted, as yot, on town af fairs to discuss them. Reeve Geiger spoke again for a few minutes, after which Mr, Ort* Wein, a former Reeve and member of tho Council addressed tho meet ing after which a strongly worded resolution was passed instructing I Reefs Geiger to take whatever stops .he considered necessary to fight the 1 2 .
