COUNTY EQUALIZATION
SETTLED
Huron CotInYt Council met in Spec

at the call of the Warden, to try and
settle the matter of equalization of
C°aunty Assessment,
The valuators report hit all the ur-
ban and some of the rural municipal-
ities so hard by increasing their valu-
ation that 15 of them, including Wing -
ham, had taken rt1 a matter into the
Courts of Jupiee.
It was fotind that this was going to
be a very, xpensive job to the:Cot;'nty
and all concerned, so at the advice of
the Couifty Solicitor, concurredein by.
the Judg4the Warden called the spec-
ialme,eting°to..,.try and'affect: a com-
promise, and take the matter out of
the Courts.
On Wednesday, the different Reeves
gave their views as to their Municipal-
ities being hit the hardest by increases
added by the valuators, particularly in
Urban Centres, but did not seem to be
getting anywhere. Reeve Trewartha
of Clinton just before the adjournment
was made, moved the appointment of
pP
a committee to go into the matter and.
report Thursday at 10 a.m.
The committee consisted of Reeves
McKibbon, Beattie, Merner, McQuaid
Hill, Inglis, and Hayes. Reeve Mc
Kibbon-was appointed Chairman.

When the bill was in committee, Mr. $5.00
Robertson of North Huron asked for
light on the position of Huron County
Y
which was under the Canada Temper-
ante Act, a Federal' Law; until 192o, or
four years after the Ontario Temper-
ance Act came into operation. Then
the C. T. AA was suspended by'Otta-
awa on petition of the ,majority of the
people of Huron, and the 0 T. A.
made to 'apply. The situation is
further complicated for the present by
the fact that before the C. T. A. was
enacted in Huron, most of the`munici-
palities had adopted local option.
When the C T. A. was suspended
by the Governor-General in Council
in November, 192o, the feeder said
that the suspension was to "commence
ten days after the publication thereof
iti the columns of the Canada Gazette,
and, to continue as long as the provin-
cial law remains as restrictive as the
Canada Temperance Act"
Here is a petty question to settle.
:Premier Ferguson replied' to the
member for North Huron b saying
.Y Y g
the Liquor Commission would deal
with the matter. Can that all -power

as "restrictive" as the Canada Tin-
