POLICE COMMISSION
CAN'T BOSS OFFICERS
Guelph, Jan. 17, Guelph city
council :was )informed last night that
the board of police commissioners
had nothing to do with the police
force in the discharge of its duties..
A letter from the secretary came in
reply to a request by council for
continued police protection at: the
intersection of Paisley and Dublin
Sts., where hundreds of children cross
on their way to and from school.
Similar request was made by the
board of education after ,it"had been
informed by Chief Nash that the ser-
vice was to be discontinued.
"It appears," said the letter, "that
all complaints have been written in
an entire forgetfulness that the police
force, in the discharge of its duties,
is not subject to the directions of
either the city council or the board
of education or the Retail Merehants'

Equalization Report Shelved By County
Council
The equalization assessment report
of Messrs. Mogg and Quinlan, value -
ors, ' over which there has been much
contention in Huron County Council
circles, was presented Friday after
noon, and after a short but sharp ,de-
bate was laid over to the June session
for disposal.
The report shows a total assess-
ment of $54,258,666, about $1,000,000
over 1927, for the County of Huron,
due chiefly, the report explains, to
development along the shore line of
,Lake Huron and under assessment in
1927, which the valuators restored.
,Farm values are down, but all eight
urban municipalities with the excep-
tion of Blyth are up.
' Of the 24 municipalities in the
county, 11 show an increase, seven
of them urban. Thirteen rural muni-
cipalities show a decrease. Largest in-
crease is Goderieh, which, if the re-
port is adopted, will be required to
pay an additional $3,000 a year- ;for
county purposes, and in Stephen town-
ship, in which Grand Bend is located,
which will be required to pay an ad-
ditional $2,595.52 per year.
The slate had been cleared of all
business before presentation of the
report, and with its 'shelving until
June, the January session was'cou-
cluded. Protesting municipalities in
the meantime will be given an op-
portunity of cone -ening with the:
