G. Mogg, who with H. J. Quinlan has travelled 22,000 miles and spent several months in vdluating the property of the county for county assessment purposes. "Wingham is the neat­ est town in Huron County. It has no eyes-sores” said Mr. Mogg. "The same cannot be said of Goderich (The Prettiest Town in Can­ ada) lie added. "There are a lot of old buildings in Goderich that are not pleasing to the eye.” Clinton has live aggressive merchants and a lot of business is done there. But in Seaforth,' the Scotch merchants spend too much time be­ moaning the plight of the farmer. Last, but not least, Blyth, home of Reeve Geo. McNall, horse­ man and reinsman. "Blyth” said Mr. Mogg, "is good for horse races.” . In speaking of the assessments made throughout the county Mr. Mogg stated that there were many variations and much discrep­ ancies. He paid a spendid compliment to Exeter’s Assessor, Mr. John Hind, when he said that Exeter had the most capable and con­ scientious assessor in the county. Placing Exeter first as a business centre in the county helps in a manner to sooth the feeling created when Exeter’s proportion of taxation to be paid the county was placed above that of Clinton or Seaforth. Usborne Township also has reason to be proud of the fact that the valuators have rated it the highest in the county in land value and in the value of its buildings. While Exeter is pardonably 'proud of the distinction she has thus won’ she is well aware that she is surrounded by one of the best agricultural districts to be found anywhere and also that be­ tween Exeter and her constituency there always has existed the best of good feeling. The remarks by Mr. Mogg bears out the judgment of Mr. John Vidt in selecting Exeter as a leading business centre to erect one of the first and finest Refrigerated Food Locker Services in the Province of Ontario. Mr. Vidt is opening his new building to the public the latter part of next week. Exeter has received much publicity both in the daily 'press and over the radio since Mr. Mogg’s statement.
