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

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

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.

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.
