EQUALIZATION HEARING
ENDS AT GODERICH
Board Will Deliver Finding Before
End of Year
The hearing of the appeals of the
Town of Godericla anti Township of
Stephen against the 1030 equalized
assessment of the County of-I-Iuron,
made by the firm of Mogg & Quinlan,
expert valuators, and extending over
nine days, was concluded at Godericlt
last week. the final day being taken
up with counsel argument.
The finding of the board, composer,
of Judges Clement and Costello and
Sheriff Johnston must be made he,
fore the end of thin year.
In the nine 'tedious: days of giving
-evidence over 300,000 words were re-
corded by •tate court reporter.
Answering the argument of E. -S.
Livermore, K,I'., for the appellants,
that the assessment .under attack to
he fair, should he reduced by $2,000,-
000, Godcrich by approximately $350,-
000 and Stephen by $1,150,000, this to
be absorbed pro -rata by the remain-
ing 22.municipalities, J, W. McGibbon
maintained the onus was on the ap-
pellants to show on which municipal-
ities this should be placed and how
much on each. •
He further argued that granting
the Mogg .C. Quinlan assessment was
high. just so long as it was equal. it
would eventually make no difference,
each municipality must pity annually
for county purposes.
Further. it would he unfair to
_accept the evidence of the special
men chosen to matte valuations for
the purpose of appeal with the valu-
ations of then who had assessed the
whole county- with the sante yard-
s tick.
Mr. McGibbon addressed the board
for nearly two tune's. arguing the
anneals must fail. Frank Finaland:
N.C.. for Clinton and Gorterich Town,
ship, concurred with Mr. McGibbon.
On the question of costs which will
be considerable, Mr. McGibbon said
that 10 substantial changes in the
assessment were made, the county
sheeld pay.
Mr. Livermore sugge-,tail that tto,
county pay the hoard memberssten-
ographer and incidentals and that
each municipality pay its own solici-
tor. of which there wore five.
"To those of ue who know Huron
(County, the figures of 'Messrs. 'fogg
•and Quinlan are utterly preposter-
ous:' commented Mr. Livermore,
counsel for the Town of Goderieh
and Township of Stephen when the
equalized assessment appeals of
those municipalities were resumed.

FORMER HENSALL PASTOR
ADDRESSES PARENTS
Rev, W. A. Young of Fergus Speaks.
To Elora Club
Lack of self -en -Men] and discipline
today, coupled with the fact that "too
many boys are being kept in school
after they have become indifferent to
instruction, make pupils a trial to
the teachers."
Rev. W. Young of St. Andrew's
church. Fergus, and formerly of Hen -
sail, told members of the Elora Home
and School club this at open meeting
last week. "Instead of 'being benefited
by school, these boys are only learn-
ing to become "bums," he declared.
"All such boys who become indiffer-
ent` to instruction, whether they are
below the 16 -year age limit or not,
should leave school and learn some
useful employment."
Boys and girls were counselled to
have greater respect for authority
and parents who took their children's
part against the authority of the
teachers were roundly scored. "Such
an attitude on the part of parents is
what breeds gangmen in later life,"
he added.
Mr. Young stated that education is
the most costly of the public sere -
ices and for that reason it should not
be futile, but have a very Peal per -
pose and aim.
"I doubt if we realize in these days
the great privilege it is to go to
school," he said. "Men of other days
longed for education and they did
not think any inconvenience or hard-
ship too great to achieve it, Many of
their dreams of education were un-
attainable in those pioneer days, but
they vowed to themselves that their
sons anti daughters would have what
c \"ri Tc ,d,t!. snucmr and they wet' unable to get. Schools are
indeed by their fruits and pupils mast
