Appeal County Grand Bend Man Jailed Assessments Three municipalities in Huron County will appeal against the county assessment “ Court o pens in week. The Town of Colbourne Township were first to register appeals against the assessment passed by county council in its June session, Now, the Town of Wingham has served notice that it will make an appeal in the court of revi­ sion over which Judge T, M. •Costello will preside.

If the assessment on any of the above corporations is lowered, that amount may be added to an­ other corporation.
