Conrt of Appeal
A Court of Appeal on the work
Of the Court oi Revision on the 193 6
Assessment Roll was held in the
Town Hall here on Monday morning
with County Judge Costello presid
ing, Owing to the severe illness of
Colin Hudson, the Assessor, the
co-urt was postponed till Mr. Hudson
is able to- appear on behalf of Mr.
Hudson and stated that in- his opin
ion, the action of the Council was
illegal as they made the appeal and
also acted as the Court of Revision
The Judge thought the points well
taken and promised to look into the
matter and give a decision later.
This case has created a great deal
of interest in the village, As far aS
we can find out the facts are as
fellewa:
in their optSnidm the Assessment
of a number of the more valuable
properties was toot high enough
compared with the assessments on
lower priced properties. Mr. Hud-
son raised the assessment on
Town Hall, Churches, Schools
Park properties which do not
duce any revenue making the
assessment somewhat near to
1934 assessment.

a difference. In- nearly every case
the assessment was raised. At this
meeting a great deal of criticism
was made at the action- of the Coun
cil in overruling the opinion of the
Assessor. Mr. Hudson appealed to
the County Judge on the action of
the Court of Revision and his decis
ion on the legality of the Council’s
action is now being waited for. Mr.
■Hudson has been confined to his
room for several weeks and is in a
serious condition and it is doubtful
if he will be able to appear before
the Court in time as the complete
assessment roll is siu-pposed to be
in the hands of the Clerk by the

RISING GRAIN PRICES BENEFIT
TO FARMERS IN THIS DISTRICT
The following despatch from God
erich appeared in the daily papers.
This summer’s long drought may
have its compensations for farmers
in some sections of Huron County,
particularly in the southern part
where rain was more plentiful and
crops are better.
Monday there was a veritable pro
cession of farmers’ vehicles on high
ways leading to Hensall, laden with
dollar wheat and dollar barley, pre
vailing prices in that town.
In contrast no grain was offered
at Goderich and buyers refused to
quote prices. Told of the Hen-sail
prices they remarked that elevators
there will be stuck with dollar wheat
The boon of enhanced prices to
some farmers is considerable, One
man barley able to pay , his taxes
and unable to meet his mortgage in
terest payment a few weeks ago has
just threshed 1,300 bushes of wheat
and 800 bushels of barley.
Another farmer said he had man
aged to hang on td 800 bushels of
barley, last year’s crop, and had as
itowh more in this year’s crop.
“It’s like old days at Hensall, The
farmers are lined up waiting to un
load,” said one buyer who made the
round of the farmers on Monday
and bought 60,500 bushels of grain
for delivery there.

Nearly all Ontario Creameries collect cream twice per
week during the summer months; it has been the custom of

times. The long dry period in decreasing cream production
has made it necessary to avoid high costs by collecting twice
per week. _ , -
Co-operation on the part of.keeping the cream
cool will maintain higher >gFScles for both cream and butter.
