The following from the Brantford Ex- positor illustrates some of the houses , and the manner of taxation used in Brantford, Itwillbe. remembered, Mr, Ludlow, Assessment Commissioner, ad-' dressed a meeting here recently' on his t mode of taxing property:— Assessment reform being somewhat I to the fore in Brantford at present, 'the Expositor 'herewith' publishes a few sketches and. descriptions of houses to be found in tihe city, for the purpose of ,assisting its readers in deciding the merits of tihe different systems of meas- urements involved, The. methods in question are three In number and may be briefly described as follows: (a) The perimeter system, as used by the assessment department in Brant- ford, consists of pleasuring the distance around a house (the perimeter) and multiplying by the height, thus secur- ing the area of an outside wall neces- sary,to ellcose a given building (b) The square measure, or area of floor space, which is found by multi- plying the length by the breadth, thus getting the square measurement of any floor or ceiling. (c) The cubic ;contents system, which consists of taking the square measure and. multiplying the same by the height, which would give one the cubic measure or :lir space within the building. As a square house gives the maxi - Mum of floor space for a minimum of wall area, this tpye of house is taken as a basis,of comparsion in the following illustrations. The dimensions of tihe 40 feet 0 CD The next illustrations represent the same square plan house and what is known as the "L" shaped .house, a type of house found in different sections of the city. The front part of this building is 40 X 20 feet, to which is attached an addition 20 X 20 feet, giv- ing it somewhat of an irregular appear- ance, although a study of the diagram will show the perimeter to be the same as the square one. This is found by adding together 40, 40, 20, 20, 20 and A0, a total of 160 feet (perimeter), multiplied by 30, giving 4800 square 40 feet The 'last pair of sketcihes repre- sent a small workingman's, house compared with the same square plan house of 4800 perimeter sys- temefeet, 1600 square feet floor space and '48,000 cubic feet. To escape heavy frontage charges on local improvements, such as sidewalks, curbs, sewers, road paving, oiling, watering, etc„ poor roan is forced to buy a nar- row lot and erect thereon a house with a narrow frontage• and ex- tending to a greater distance back. The house there sketched Is 15X25 feet, and according to the perimeter system would have an assessable area; of 15 and 25; .plus 40 feet u w 0 The f'gures here used are not ne- eessarily those of any particular houses, but are taken as a 'basis of comparison only, and any citi- zen wishing to work out his assess- ment should find ;the dimensions of his house' and then learn' front the house used will be 40 X 40 feet and 30 feet high, being approximately the height of a two-story house from the bottom of the foundation footings to a point half way up the rafters. Alt houses neplesented are two 'stories high, The first t}vo illustrations represent houses of equal. quality construction which might be found in any better re- sidental section of Brantford. On the left is the square plan house 40 X 40 X 3o feet, giving an assessable area by the perimeter system of 160 feet (the dis- tance around) multiplied by 30 (the height), making a total of 4800 spuare feet of wall area. By the square mea- surement plan the same house would, have a floor area of 1600 square feet on each floor (length multiplied by breadth.) According to the cubic con- tents system the assessable•space would be 40X40X30, or 48,000 cubic feet. On the right is a house 30 X 50 feet and 30 feet high. The outside wall area of this house is the same as the square one -30 and 50, plus 30 and 50 or 160 feet perimeter, which, multi- plied by 30 (height) makes 4800 square feet, area of outside wall. The square measurement plan applied to this house would give 30X 50, or 1500 square feet of floor space for each story and by the cubic contents system would yield 30 X 50 X 30, -or 45,000 cubic feet. According to the local system of computing measurements both these houses would be assessed the same, al- though one would have 100 square feet less on each floor, and: 3000 cubic feet less than than the other. 30 feet 0 feet of outside wall area, the same as, the • square one. Acdprding to the square measurement plan this house would Jhave .40 X 20 feet (800 sq. feet) plus 20 X 20 feet (400 sq, ft.), or a total of 1200 square feet on each floor and by the cubic conteihts system would have 1200X30, or 36,000 cubic feet. These two !houses would be assessed alike under tine ' present system, al- though, one would actually have 400 more square feet per floor and 12,000 more cubic feet than the other. 40 feet 0 20 feet 20 feet v 0 15 and 25 (80 feet pgrimeter) mul- tiplied by 30, or 2400 square 'feet area of outside walls—exactly one - ]half that of the.. square- !house; • The floor area of the smaller house would be only 15X25, or 375 sq. ft„ or less than one-quarter that of the large one, while the cubic con- tents (15X25X30), is in the sante proportion, 11,z5o cubic feet, or less than one-quarter the other. The large house would contain more than four tithes the cellar floor space, joists and floors, lath and plaster oh' ceilldgs,' 'roofing, etc,, but would have an assessable area only twice that of the smaller one; ,............ 15 feet 'assessment department what mul- tiple or unit of computing the value of his house is used, as these ulilltiples vary according to quality, locations or any other circumstances that might ,add to or detract from file value of a 'louse., a * 4* * * * tit * * Editoral Paragraphs y. •r r.• * .k Money. talks except in ' Germany where It squeals. 0 A11 things come to an eiid even a: session of Ontario's Legislature, The sudden drop to near freezing will never be popular with the little tomato plants: Tihe trout season opened oai Sunday but we will say that nobody wept fish- ing, until Monday morning, It Is time to get the lawn mower at 'work but it Is not safe to prepare ,the furnace for its summer vacation, During May the weather math will kindly "Say it with flowers" rather • than `!with showers" as has been fore-. cast, Thanks) _0 Grand Trunk shareholders are advis ed by the Financial Times to accept Canada's generous offer.

Mr. Fielding is the only one of the four still in Parlia- ment. Sir Louis Davies is now chief jus- tice of Canada; Sir William Mulock is chief justiceof the Ontario court of ex- chequer, and Sir Cartes Fitzpatrick is Lieutenant -Governor of Quebec.
