Editor:
If the purpose of IVIr. Coeltes' letter
was to avoid contusion ro suggest it
would have been better if be had told
the people my figures were concern-
ing the county assessment for district
high school purposes and as such my
figures are correct, and the figures
quoted by him were for the overall
county assessment.
So far as town area is concerned
my figures were secured from tae
1953 municipal directory on page 26,
the 350 acres covered all assessable
property in Wirighain (not the rivers,
ponds, flooded areas or streets) and
the comparison figures used for other
towns were also from the um muni-
cipal directory.
We do use occasionally the county
roads and the eounty people rise our
streets however the difference is we
pay for our streets ourselves and also
the county roads. For instance in 1952,
Wingham taxpayers Paid $6587.64 to-
wards county roads and in 1953 $8039.-
08, towards county roads, and with
our latest increased town aesesssraent
our payment to county roads next year
will be $9,698.00 even if there is not
an increase in the county mill rate,
which was 4 1St mills on all county
assessments for county roads,
Trusting this may help clarify any
question as to whether any of the fig-
ures are not correct.
Yours truly
R. E. McKinney
WESTFIELD FARM
FORUM MEETS
The members of the Westfield Farm
Forum met' on Monday evening at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman
McDowell with 21 present. •
The group discussion was on the
agricultural representative and the
farmer. The first question under dis-
cussion was, "In what way do farmers
in the forum make use of the services
of the Ag. Rep. Members replied that
the Ag. Rep, plays a big part in trac-
tor clubs, calf clubs, Junior Farmers
and in interesting people in agricul-
ture, also in interesting farmers in
soil testing and trying new varieties
of potatoes,
In answer to the question of what
kind of help is needed most from the
Ag. Rep. in the community, some of
the forum members thought enough
use wasn't made of the representative.
The forum decided he was needed at
times to instruct farmers on the best
variety of different grains and pas-
tures.
Discussing farmers and forums
could help the representative to reach
more people. The forum said if they
were like some other farmers they
would have him present at each meet-,
ing of the forum and each farmer
could bring his problems and they
could have him address joint meetings
of several forums on subjects that
are interesting to farmers at that
particular time.
A business meeting was held 'after
ell was elected chairman with Mr. and
the discussion and Graeme McDow-
Mrs, Harvey McDowell as joint sec-
retary. The next meeting will be held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin
McDowell. The ladies decided to send
Christmas boxes to Byron Sanitarium.
Lunch was served and si time
Was spent.
