At the open session of the county
council on Tuesday afternoon of Last
week, Mr. George C. Petty, Reeve of ,
ifens•all,, was elected Warden for this
year. It was the Conservatives' turn tit'
choose the Warden, and in caucus .the
vote was a tie between Reeve Petty De-
pety Reeve Dr. 'Clark of Goderich. The
casting vote In favor of Mr. Petty was
given by Mr. Spotton of Howlett as fe-
presenting the municipality with the
largest assessment,
When the council convened Dr, Clark
moved, seconded by Mr. Elliott of Stan -
icy, that Mr. Petty be Warden for 1920.
There was no other nomination, end
Mr. Petty was declared elected and
was escorted to the chair by ex -warden
J. N: Campbell. The newly -elected
Warden then subscribed to the declar-
ation of office before Judge Dickson,
who tendered a few remarks of con-
gratulation upon his election,' ,
The clerk placed a number of com-
munications before the Council, among
them being the following:
From Reeve Plum, of Brussels, re -
5100 was tacked on for each additional
bath. In other words it cost extra to
keep clean. In Brantford 85 per cent.
of the houses had "modern improve -
!Dents,"
A veranda seven feet wide had its
width multiplied by two and to this
a nought was added, the assessment
being therefore $140, an eight -foot af-
fair would be assessed at $160.
It 'was easy to classify the various
t' pes of houses. 1n London there were
ah,eit ten ,classes, and the multiple
system could he used in every class.
In speaking of depreciations in value
Mr. Ludlow declared that the penalty
should be put on the man who let his
place go. "nowt add to the assessment
of a man who paints his place and
keeps it in good repair. Get after the
chap who never spends a cent in im-
provements. That is the way we do
it In Brantford,'' ise said.
Tax idle Land Heavily.
Mr. Ludlow stated that from the as-
sessment report.he had received several
years ago from London, this city had
6,073 vacant tuts in its area of 6,000
acres. The remedy of the vacant lot
problem was assessment at its full
value if not a little beyond. "Put it
at a price where theoweers will tell you
that they would sell for less. There is
one firm or man in your city that owns
75 lots. 1f you over -assess him he will
get busy and build." He advised the
city not to he in a hurry to take in
new subdivisions.

vested,' They bought their land and
