A RAD -ACCIDENT The Conrt of Revision of the Asses- sinent Roll at for the second tine this year on Tuesday night. The members present were Mayor Elliott, Reeve Tipling, Councillors Haney and Fothergill, Mr. C. Burford told the court that he thought the $200 increase in his assessment was too muck. He, acknOw- ledged the improvements which he put on his home would cost about $300, The timbers were rotten and he was compelled to either side it or brick it. His property was valued at $165o. The Mayor asked if he would sell for .that to which he replied that it was not for sale. Reeve Tipling re marked that it was poor encourage- ment for a man to improve his prop- erty, whereupon the assessor, J. McLean reminded Idle. that the coun- cil wanted him to raisethe assess- ments where they should be but a few of them took chills when. it fell their lot to sustain such assessment. The matter was left over to allow the ire] mbers of the court 'of revision to vie* the property. Ma. J. W. Scott felt he was hard hit when his assessment was raised $too. He had only built a garage and his house was an old frame one. Mr. Mc- Lean said he beleived that he should only have raised him $5o. It was therefore reduced $5o. Through an error Messrs. Peterman and Clark were present to appeal a- gainst the assessment of the building (formerly the Chinese laundry) which the had recently purchased frprn Mrs. Bell. They understood they were as- sessed for $goo, whereas it was only $55o. Reeve Tipling asked if they wished to have it raised. The increase of the assessment of Andy Taylor's house on Victoria St by $25o was sustained. Mr. Herb. Campbell, is at present in the house. The assessment of S. Morton's new residence, not yet completed on Vic- toria St., at $1300 on the building and $375 on the land was confirmed. Jos. Pugh built a new verandah at. his home on Francis St. and the court confirmed the increase' of $xclo in his assessment. Gordon Buchanan's property was raised $r o.—Confirmed. The Imperial Oil Co's Assessment was increased $soo because of the er- ection of another building—Confirm- , The British American, Oil Co's as- sessment of $5400, $400 on business and the remainder on buildings was confirmed. ' David Clow built a new verandah and was increased $5o in. assessmeet Confirmed. D. E. MacDonald's assessment was increased $25o because of improve- . ments.—Confirmed. H. E.

't• Chas, Jbbb's buildings on Diagonal Road were assessed $25o on land ad. $300 on buildings, while A. C. Adams was -assessed for building on the same street $200 on land and $3oo on build- ing. ---Confirmed. , Frank VanStone's house on. Minnie St. was treated to a new reof, kitchen,' etc. and the court confilnied the in- crease of $25o on same. A. J. Nortrop's new dwellingiohiet Minnie St. was assessed at $2000, building is under construction.—Con- firmed, Town Clerk Galbraith asked that his income assessment be increased by $too. The assessor' spoke -up wishing theie.were more like him in town. The matter Of charging the hotels a• business assessment was discussed at some length. While the Brunswick Hotel is giving splendid. accomodation both by Way of lavatories and sitting room, it was felt thee the other house was not giving the accomodation it shoutd. A well Managed hotel in which you feel you are made "evelcome is a great asset to any town. It was cited that I).
