It was decided to hold the spring meetfaf fe Bayfield, aipd' the annual COUNCIL ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH EQUALIZATION Equalization Report Considered at Special Meeting. * At a special meeting of the Town Council held on Monday night the Mogg-Quinlan.report for the equali­ zation of the assessment of the coun­ ty was studied and the opinion of all members was that the town assess­ ment as set by these men is much too high for Wingham. Mayor Crawford explained that 5 to 8 per cent of the properties of each 1 municipality were assessed by M(ogg and Quinlan and that from this the total assessment of the town was fig­ ured. He explained that the report as it stands, raised he equalization from $20.12 as set in 1926 to $24.89 per $1000. jffe said from a Wingham standpoint the report was very un­ fortunate, the town being much bet­ ter off under the former equalization. He felt that Council should not sit bj* and accept this report in its present 'state. Reeve Hetherington stated he was not satisfied with the report and dur­ ing further discussion all members of the Council voiced the same opinion. Each property here that was as­ sessed bjf the valuators was checked off by Council as Mayor Crawford read them out and it was. noted that only three were lowered from the town assessment, two were the same and the balance were all raised, some very greatly. It was pointed out that if these figures were used as a basis for Wingham and the county requir­ ed the same amount of money it wilt mean a raise of .8 in the town taxes for county purposes. Reeve Authorized to Oppose Report A motion by Couns. Sturdy and Lloyd carried unanimously that in view of the fact that Council disagree with the equalization report that the Reeve be authorized to take strong action to oppose its adoption; Coun. Evans, Chairman of the Streets committee, suggested “that three more forms for making 18-inch tile be purchased so that tile could be made for the storm sewer that carries the water away from the C.

The game, a free scoring affair, pro­ duced plenty of thrills, lots of heart­ aches, some good hockey and some not so good. However, the fans got their money’s worth and should be back to the next game, ready to give the boys a hand. Bill Lepard took charge of the'' lo­ cal goal, Earl Lough having gone to Toronto. He tried hard and stood up well in the face of fire but needs cr- perience. In the opposite goal was Billy Scott, a 15-year-old kid playing his second game in organized hockey. He faced the music with a smile and made some very fine stops for a youngster. Billy was a bit of a W when he left here for Listowel a few years ago.
