The followi g report of the equaliza- tion was read • To the 1-Varde? and -the lfenhers of the Council; Your Equal adieu Committee beg leave to sub a it herewith the usual schedule, shot • ing the result of their labors in equa izing the assessment rolls for the year 1:78. It will be observed that the resul of this year's equaliza- tion is to leavr the total value the Aame as last year. Your Committee were of the opinion of er the very full discus- sion which p •eceded our labors, that the different r:presentatives were upon the whole ver well satisfied to practi- cally adopt th : equalization of last year, and after full. considering every sugges- ted discrepaa cy, we concluded that there does not exist any real cause of complaint wi h that equalization. It was suggested that the average given for some of t e townships was incor- rect, and we recommended that the Council shoul authorize the Clerk to collect the bet information obtainable as to the actu 1 area of each township for use next ear. Since the 'roll of 1878 was ma a up, the township of Turnberry hA lost 200 acres taken in by Wingham. Keeping this in view we have increas d the equalization of Wiugham by 15,000, but not consider- ing it to be o r d'nty to reduce the av- erage of Turn erry without instructions, we decided to leave that question to the Council, ut at the same time re- commending s an act of justice that Turnberry sh uld be reduced by these 200 acres. our Committee made the following chs ges in the assessment of the towns an villages : We reduced Bayfield $15, , and increased Blyth by the same amount. We increased Brussels $5,0 0, and reduced Exeter by the same amount ; and we increased Wingham $1 ,000 and reduced Wrox- eter by the same amount. Your Com- mittee trusts that the results of their labors may rove satisfactory to the Council, and f so, since our equaliza- tion is a prat ical adoption of that of last year, we hink we may safely con- gratulate the Council upon having solv- ed the much -e±ed question of how to secure a fair qualization of the whole county, with ut the expensive aid of assessment c mmissioners, or other ex- traordinary achinery, such as has been occasio ally suggested of late. years. All o which is respectfully sub- mitted. J. T. GARROw, Chairman. The Counc mittee of the resolved itself into Com - Whole, with Mr. Detlor in the chair, and the report was sub- jected to a pretty animated discussion, during which the following amendments were put : Moved by F. Clegg, the ham be dedu equalized val township for a division by Moved by Mr. Girvin, t the corporati ham from th be 3educted Turnberry Carried on a six.

Moved by Mr. Clegg, seconded by Dr. McDonald, that the report of the Equalization Committee be amended so that the towns and villages will bear the same proportion to each other in their equalized values, except the town of Wingham, as last year, as that re- port appears to give general satisfac- tion. Lost on a division by a majority of 20. Moved by Mr. Leckie, seconded by Mr. Gibson, that the equalization re- port be amended by placing the village of Brussels at $230,000, instead of $235,- 000, 235;000, as in schedule.
