Whether or not that reso- lution or resolutions remained intact at the end of the year, depended a great deal upon circumstances as well as the character ,of the person who made the rash promise to himself, What is a New Year's Resolution? It is a good intention that is some- times fulfilled, It is an accumula- tion of ideals that have piled up in the past, and these ideals are now being aimed at making a perfect future for the well meaning individu- al. There are plenty of these good intentions that will bear fruit throughout the year ahead, but a lot of them will fall'sby the wayside, Unfortunately, many of these are the ones that could have done the most good to the individual and the com- munity. Here are a few suggested resolu- tions that could very well be practic- ed in this area . . . I think it would be a good idea if the rural and urban folks alike would resolve to get to know each other's problems a little better during 1954 . . . I would also suggest that in the purAuit of this aim, they endeavour to discuss the topic amiably and with a broad and open mind, instead of tossing so many barbed insinuations. 1953 has- n't been a most successful year in ,this connection, and I feel that neither the townfolk or the rural folk, have anything to be proud of in the way of rural-urban relations this past year. Let's resolve right here and now to see something of the other fellow's problems, and not try and cram ou'r own story down his neck, and then jump in and jam another load on top of it. Perhaps we could resolve to support our farm organizations a little better than we have in the past, and good- ness knows there is plenty of room for, this improvement.. . Folks in town could very well resolve to honour some of these obligations, and the same goes for the rural folks. More good work in rural-urban re- BOX 473 I Wingham, December 24th, To the Editor of The Advance-Times, Dear Sir: Having read with amusement your article under Heading Assessment Appeal Denied by Judge, I admit the assessment was confirmed, and as I have' always believed, that when you can't beat the other fellow, one should be sport enough to let him go on and win, but your write-up has forced me to make a reply. In this Article you state Mr. Bush- field represented the town, also that from the Evidence presented, the judge had no choice but to confirm the As- sessmerit, these statements are cor- rect, as this Evidence was brought out, when his Honor, Judge Costello asked a fair question in the closing minutes of the hearing, namely Do you, eon- sider this to be a fair Assessment on the property, Mr. Alexander rose and stated that he did, while Mr. Haney was a little more emphatic with his I Do. You state in your Article, that pre- viously to this, the Judge had heard an Appeal from Mr. Rintoul for a Lower Assessment etc, etc. Now If he heard an Appeal he certainly didn't hear it from me, so yoUr Article in regards to this, is absolitely incorrect, and it might be good advice to fortify yourself with some actual facts, be- fore crashing in on-some one else's affairs. Its a fact I had previously Appealed to the Court of Appeals as set up by the town, and was told without a word of arguement, that earlier that even- ing they had been viewing the pro- perty on which the appeal was made, and they were definitely going to do something about it, which was done. If this didn't seem satisfactory you have four days in which to'make an Appeal to have your Appeal brought before the Judge, this I did, and the Appeal was disposed of on the 17th day bf December. This was the first and only time it came up to the Judge. The first question I was asked, was what was my basis for Appeal, which I read as follows. That the older Low- er Priced properties had received a much higher rate of Assessment, than the Modern higher priced properties, which have had a much lower assess- ment value, according to their actual known cash values. Then I was asked to make some comparisons which I did by submitt- ing two of the three I had, as follows, Buildings, present Assessment, Equal- ized Assessment, increase in Assess- ment in dollars. also as to their dif- ferent raise in percentage. These I compared with the property I had made the appeal' on, Mr. Bushfield very ably went on to explain, that these properties couldn't be compared. Why? for different reasons, such as one property might be a foot and a half longer than another, while the other could be a couple of feet wider, also one could be one storey another could be two storeys, while Some could be a storey and a half In any ease it would be impossible to com- pare these properties. `(Whom was he Kidding) Then he moved into Motion Pictures by producing four snapshots, one of my property and three from almost the farthest corner of town and im- mediately went to work comparing these four properties, all of which I was in perfect accord with as these properties were all in the lower priced sereise that you state Ate Town Assessor ex- plained tow the Assessment was Pg.. ured Possible he did, ,but not in my preSence, because I asked the quuseecistilonnarWrivillantg';alt°0wwnasAsaSPePsolirneclent7. I have had no reply to date, could ft be Mr. Editor that you were right about a previous meeting, Give us the facts, I wouldn't know, as I statedbe- fore I wasn't at it, One property which whea asked for a known cash value of I' submitted it, and have every reason to believe it is correct. Mr. Haney went to bat to justify the Assessment, by stating a Jaime barn had been removed from the property, consequently the Assessment had been lowered, at the-time of that valuation there wasn't, had never been, a large barn on the property, and there isn't at present, so it absolutely had no bearing on the case at all, but he did dress it up to get the New Look. In all fairness to the Equalized As- sessment I will say that on comparing the properties submitted by Mr. Bush- field with my own, there should be no complaint as to the Equalization, the same applies to the three higher priced houses submitted by myself, but on comparing the to separate groups together, you immediately ar- rive at the inequality that is spoken of in my Basis for isisspeal. Now Mr. Editor alter the publicity your Article received in your paper, would it be possible to have this re- ceive the same treatment. Signed Alex Rintoul Editor Advance-Times: Winter in Wingham is a nightmare, Sir: The above may not be acceptable to many of our citizens but I am cer- tain it is to a great number of our people, the less fortunate. Let me tell my story, A few even- ings ago I put out my garbage can oh the side of the road, handy for the garbage collection. ,My walk had been cleaned out to the road. The garbage man duly, came along next morning and emptied the can, then threw' it down in the centre of the entrance to the walk. That was fine. The snowplow Came along, filled up Solid the•entrance to the path. The can was underneath the pile of erow. Was that not exasperating? There was nothing else I could do but dig out that entrance and recover the can for further use. My next door neighbor, a widow, advanced the idea to me that a man should accompany the plow and dig out again the entrances that are so plugged up by the plow. There are. seven widows and three not married women keeping house in my immediate vicinity. I am sure they would back me up in my caption to this story. Thanking you for the space.
