to vote jn accordance with conditions
which many white men would not
be able tb comply with, and which
they ar,e not asked to comply with,

to intelligently exercise that vote.
The mere fact of a person being an
Indian should not disfranchise him
any more than tire fact of a person
being an Englishman^an Irishman,
or a Seotch.mau should do so. For
our part we’ think a white man is.
equally,capable with (Ire Indian in a
competition where - industry, ami-

there should be no fear that the Ins

.The Court met in the Council
Chamber Wednesday evening. The
hotel keepers appealed against
•their assessment,. They hold that
their property is much depreciated
in value through loss of business
brought about |oy the Scott Act.
That if they wanted to sell their
property they could not now get over
one-half for it that they could have
gotten a year ago. Consequently’it
should not be assessed as high as
last year.
In proof of tire lessened value of
hotel property Mrs. Morley stated
that her hotel would have.rented for
$600 last year, the best offer she had
received* tlifa i ear. was $200. A.
Kennedy paid.$450 rent last year,
this year be got the same property
for $200. The appellants held that
a property, the rental income from
which is Only $200, is not worths
much as when the rental income was
from $450.to $600.
■Jt"is-through no faulty judgment
on tire part of assessors Menzies mid
Stevens that the subjoined "Fedact
ions were made, as when they asses
sed the property the hotels were car
rying on their old business, and it
was not the duty of assessors to.
peer into the future and value- pro
perty in -pmsqTCC'tivey:i’t^r',W'ortl) "six
months ahead of when they were
doing, their work, And though
■some of the hotel, men asked for a
..much greater reduction than was |
made, the appellants were quite liter
ely conscientious in their estimate
of what t-lreir property would sell for,
and tire assessable yalue of a pro-
pert}’ is its current market value,
w’hat it would sell5for, not what the
owner asks for it. The -difficuity of
„arxiv uig,.a.t.jUia!.Yahim of.-Rmper.ty Jm.
conceded. A notable instance of
this was in the case of Mr. Swarts,
who, when asked as to tire-value of
his property replied that he would
not take $5,000 for it, though that
is’allowed on all liiin’ds to be much
above what it could l»e sold for_un-
der .existing circUuistances. I. Kit-
teubury’s hotel was assessed for $3,
800 ; bfi.c nreidered -that $1,003 wis.
too much.’ .It was reduced to..$3,200
