Detailed Report of Huron County Equalization Board (Continued from previous page) * But Mogg and Quinlan made no pretense of having any such inti­ mate knowledge of the properties of Huron or any of them. Nothing of the kind was suggested as necessary as one of the reasons for their being retained for the work. Their point of view and method of ap­ proach differs. Their field is the whole County of Huron. And every municipality in it, both urban and rural, is compared with the others. After some months spent in that contemplation and comparison, in digging into figures of assessments and obtaining what they regard as material information, they eventual­ ly evolve a base price for the land and a base unit of value per square foot of wall for the buildings of the several classes involved, And having done all this and applied it, they now say that they have brought out of it a propei’ basis for just equalization . The second ground of complaint is based upon made by Mogg and Quinlan in their report to the Council. For example, they say that given two farms, otherwise equal in every respect, where one has through poor hus­ bandry become dirty, they would not take that into consideration. Again these men testify that given two farms otherwise equal in every re­ spect but on one of which the build­ ings are not in as good repair as those on the other, they would not take those buildings were still serving or fit to serve their intended purpose. view of the Court be right, there is no alternative but to dismiss the appeal and establish the tion as the same purports tablished by the bylaw in Assessments at Grand a fail’ and appellants’ statements this into account provided Dirty Land or Poor Buildings Not Considered As a farm which has been allow­ ed to become dirty, they say that this is merely a temporary condi­ tion not affecting the intrinsic val­ ue of the land. Aud on the subject of repair, they say that in no case is the value of the land improved by a building to the extent of the re­ placement value of that building, and if the building is serving its intended purpose, the value they give it is there. They go farther than this and stress the thought that the properties selected are intended to be representative of the class, and that the matter of dirty land or poor repair iss accidental and should not be considered. And in support of that idea they suggest that, were it otherwise, it would be quite pos­ sible for astute municipal officials of any given municipality to load the list with run-down properties. As a matter of common sense ap­ plied to the search for quality, there is merit in this argument. But the, statute contemplates the idea of a valuation being found to be in close agreement with the assessments, an •indication, prima facie at least, that which is sought must be actual value in both cases. Neverthless, the whole scheme of municipal assessment desires the greatest possible stability. And it is not expected that an assessor is to alter his assessments figure every year merely because one owner or tenant is a bit neater than the pre­ decessor, or the reverse. Nor is this alteration expected merely because it is manifest toz an assessor that each passing year must bring each building under his observation near­ er to uselessness in fact or to cure­ less ruin in point of structure, the operation of the factors of solescence or age.> Rather it is tended that those changes shall made only when these factors have manifestly resulted as a measureable change in values. The respondents urge that the factors stressed by the appellants represent no measureable change in values. And the Court inclined to that view. by ob- in- be is Provide Proper Basts for Equalization But the Court is inclined to the view that a consideration of this ground of appeal has become purely jacademic, for these reasons. The Court is of the opinion that the sys­ tem adopted by Mogg and Quinlan is well designed to provide a pro­ per basis of equalization and that they are competent to use that sys­ tem and that they have intelligently used it. And further, the Court is of the view that, leaving out of con­ sideration all the properties to what that objection could apply and dealing only with those pro­ perties of which it would be said that, on the evidence, we have mere­ ly ^a difference of opinion, on the subject of values, between the valu­ ators, the appellants’ witnesses and the assessors, the Court is in this position that the valuations of the appellants’ witnesses are not accept­ able as being actual value, nor are the figures of the 1926 equalization acceptable as being actual value, nor are the figures of the assessors ih the rolls under consideration ac­ ceptable as actual value. So it is that the Court is in the nosition that it has before it no evidence upon which It can hope to attain to anything like equality in an equalization, other than the figures of Mogg and Quin­ lan. And this Is the more true in view of the fact that there is no separati-’m of lands and buildings in the Goderich assessment. If in this equaliza- to be es~ appeal. Jfend There is a feature which should be referred to. It comes out that the assessor of the Township of Ste­ phen had misinformed the valuators as to what was involved in that por­ tion of the Granger property in Grand Bend, listed for valuation. The result was an over-valuation of that particular item of some $1175. Carried through the whole class this- would make a material difference to the totals applicable to the Town­ ship of Stephen and to that extent it prima facie works an injustice. !As against this, it was stated that there should have been added to this valuation the sum of $250.00 as the value of the land involved as a right of way. Bpt it was not clear that the land itself had been con­ veyed as distinct from the right of way over it. And in valuing the land access was assumed, so that it would not appear that this item should be added. And again' it was suggested that among this same class of properties a further error was discovered on the part of the assessor in that he had listed the Brown property as. being one-quar­ ter acre instead of one-half acre. And it was admitted that this would involve an added value of $800. It was suggested that this should be set off against the other error. Fur­ ther it came out in the evidence that while the adjoining Maple Grove property was not one of those listed, this summer resort property, consisting of a large acreage with a great many cottages owned by a syndicate, was grossly underasses­ sed. And so the suggestion is made that had this property been properly assessed, total assessment of sum­ mer resort property in Grand Bend would have been much greater and would thus have nullified the prima facie injustice arising from the er­ ror in respect to the Granger pro­ perty. This would appear to be so, and futher in all the controversy as to values, no other instance of pro­ perty in any municipality, similarly neglected in the matter Qf assess­ ment, was brought to our attention. There would therefore be the less reason why the Court should not take into consideration this out­ standing omission from the assess­ ment in deciding what effect, if any, should be given to the error in the Granger property. Stephen Assessor in Error Apart from these considerations, the assessor of the Township of Stephen must be taken to have known for what purpose his infor­ mation was being sought, and to have known that erroneous infor­ mation must do ’injustice either to his own or some other municipality. So it lay upon him to give no in­ formation unless he knew that it was accurate/ .Surely this township must in these circumstances be stop­ ped from coming to this Court and asking that this whole report be up­ set to remedy an their own officer, not entertain this when it feels that justice is being done to the Town­ ship of Stephen. error induced by The Court could idea, partcularly in the end no in- Appeal Should Serve a Useful Purpose This valuation has been thorough and has' naturally cost the County a lot of money. And these proceed­ ings have been long drawn out and expensive, But, assuming that this Court has approached the whole matter involved from a correct point of view, we feel that these proceed­ ings should be an education to every municipal official in the County, and that thereby much trouble and expense in the future may have been saved. In that sense, we feel that this appeal, expensive though it has been, may have served a most useful purpose in the end. And being of that mind, we think it pro­ per to leave each party to pay its own costs, the County paying the costs of the sittings and of the Court. The appeal is dismissed, each party paying its own costs; those of the sittings of the Court by County. Dated at Goderich this 29 th of December A.D., 1939.» the day ZION Mrs. A.
