going out at all?" He suggested,
"They didn't do anythxig; they
went around for the ride."
Mr. Alexander replied, "You
wont get me to say that." He
agreed that no changes were made
in the schedule after the commit-
tee's four-day tour.
The assessor said that the com-
mittees in the past have made some
recommendations to guide him in
future years.
Asked tin Hunter: "Isn't it true
that the purpose of their tour is
to equalize the assessment for the
following year?
Not Functioning
"In other words," he suggested,
"they (members of the committee)
haven't been carrying out their
function?"
Mr. Alexander said that this sug-
gestion would be correct if cue
considered only a certain section
of the assessment act. However,
another section • throws a different
light on it, he said.
Mr. Hunter suggested that the
matter of putting the additional
five percent back cn the Goderich
assessment had not been explained
fully to the five -man committee
by the assessor. Ile asked why
such a "major" charge wasn't dis-
cussed more thoroughly in com-
mittee meetings.
The town solicitor suggested
th.:t the adilit.onal five percent was
put back on Goderich by the as-
sessor alone. riot the -committee.
\lr Hunter added that it appeared
that at '.east two members of the
committee did not know what was
being done.
Judge Fineland asked. "How
• many legislators in this country do
' know what they're doing?"
Legislators are often called u -pen
, to deal with very technical matters,
the judge said. He expressed doubt
that these men always know all
the ins and outs of the matters
with which they are dealing.
Discuss Harbor
Under further cross-examination,
epee Alexander said that, in his
•
opinion, the adyrntages of having
a 'harbor here outweigh the dis-,
advantages.
committee was passed in • County
Council this year. The`ve had
stated that there was n thing in
the report that suggested a major
change had been made in regard
to Goderich assessment. .
Mr. Hunter noted that there was
no member of Goderich Council
on the county's equalization com-
mittee for 1957.
"I suggest it was a muter of
tinning?" said Mr. Hunter.
"It absolutely was not!" replied
Mr. Alexander.
Later, Mr. Hueter stated, "It
seems strange that during the five
years Goddrich was on the egtializ-
aticn committee, no change was
made. But the first year that
Goderich was off the committee,
the axe falls."
Mr. Hunter said he realized that
Judge Fingland indicated that
he was a bit in the dark as to why
the five percent ccucession had
been given to the town for about
four years, then removed this year.
Later, the judge said he could
find noticing wrong with the 10
percent figure.
"If I wereteeelo that (restore the
five percent concession . which
Goderieh enjoyed up until this
year), I would have to do it on
some scientific basis," said the
judge. However, he said, he
didn't think that sufficient reasons
had been put forth to influence
him to order any change.
Mr. Hunter said he considered
the 10 ,perut "arbitrary." He
termed it "just a nice convenient
figure" for the assessor to handle.
"Presumed To Know"
Mr. Alexander personally had no Judge Fingland would not agree
axe to grind because he lives in that the facts were not before the

And, in addition, he gave the
opinion that the heavy grain trucks
are contributing substantially to
the break -down of other streets.
-That grain trade is not only a i
blessing, but a burden in dis- ,
guise," stated the solicitor.
I
While Huron County Court!
House is located in Goderich, it
is not taxed, he pointed out.
Sunsets Non -Taxable
True, Goderich residents enjoy
watching lovely sunsets and get
some nice breezes off the lake, but,
he asked, "Is that taxable?"
It had been pointed out by Mr.
Jessop, town assessor, that a very
=obs`: altial percentage of Goderich
residents are in the older age
brackets, said Mr. Hunter.
The 10 percent premium placed
on Goderich is. in effect, like say-
ing to those etired people. "If you
want to liv1 in this town, you'll
have to pay more to live here,"
said Mr. Hunter.
"He (Mr. Alexander) himself ad-
mitted he didn't know how he ar-
rived at 10 percent," stated the
solicitor. Mr. Hunter suggested
that Mr. Alexander could just as
easily have arrived at some other
percentage.
Judge Fingland asked Mr. Hunt-
er, "How do I arrive at the correct
percentage?"
"An Educated Guess"
Mr. Hunter: "The same way Mr.
Alexander did -an educated guess.
That's about all you can do."
The location obsolescence allow-
znees are contrary to anything in
tie provincial lame, said -Mr. Hunter.
Reviewing the system, he said that,
assuming that Goderich is the
"par" town, reductions in assess-
ment of 10 percent were given to
all other towns in the county, 20
percent to village properties Ind
35 percent for certain farms.
Repeating his contention that
Mr. Alexander has no authority
to direct local assessors to deduct
10 percent or more, Mr. Hunter
suggested that the county._assessnr
should appeal Goderich's assess-
ment if he thinks this town is
under -assessed.
Mr. Hunter said he was inclined
to feel that Mr. Alexander had
used the location obsolescence
method because he preferred that
to launching an appeal against this
• town._ It was a way of gett lig
around an appeal, suggested Mr.
Bunter,
The town solicitor then suggest-
ed that the location obsolescence
method be banished in future.
