Kindly ,send cheques to Mr.
McDonald and to 'myself for our a-
mounts at your early conveience. Your
own fees are payable by the Municipal-
ity and the Council has power to fix
what they shall be,
i would suggest that your Council
employ an outside and a thoroughly
expert alien to essi,j your assessor In
the work of the. next assessment, so
that you may put your assessment as
to values of real estate and as to all
the assessable income upon a proper
and fair basis. Once done there will be
little or no trouble afterwards and if
tate Assessments are properly adjusted,
even though some or all are raised, each
ratepayer will be paying his fair and
equitable share, while if your assess-
ments are increased your general rate
of taxattion will be lowered. YOU can
employ a man outside and who would
have no other interest than to do his
duty and who would put your income
taxpayers 011 a proper paying basis. I
an; satisfied that you must lose con-
siderable through the omission'of your
Assessors to assess for income in many
cases where he should assess,
Yours very truly,
Lewis H. Dickson.
