Brantford's chief assessor has informed
the citizens that painting and beautifying
their homes will not mean an •increased
assessment. Here's a man other assess-
ment officials should endeavor to copy.
As a general rule a citizen who tries to
paint up and clean up his premisee has his
taxes raised, while the sloathful man who.
has no interest in how his property looks
is generally rewarded by a reduction in
assessment. Its a mighty poor policy to
tax improvements for upkeep and councils
should examine assessment rolls more
closely.
The Late Robert Mcliwain
' The death of Mr. Robert McIlwain has
created a feeling of loss in Huron
county. He had been seritirisly ill during
the last six months, and mddical aid seem-
ed of no avail. During this time he main-
tained his bright and cheerful dispositiou,
having a smile of welcome and apprecia-
tion for all who went to see him. Mr.
Mellwain was born on the old homestead,
a mile east, of Nile, in West Wawanosh,
in 1854, where he lived until 1874, when
he commenced his business career at Nile.
In politics he was a Liberal, and, being a
public-spirited man, his influerice was
widespread. For some year
he h a d been clerk of the tow ns
ship of Colborne Ile was also- secretary
of the Dungannon Agricultural Society
for sixteen years, and director of the West
Wawanosh Fire Insurance Company. Ile
• had been an active member of Nile church
for many years, a member of the trustee
board and secretary of t he Sunday School
Mr. IVIcIlwain's kindly acts won for , im
hosts of warm friend% which was mani-
fested by the large number of people who
attended the funeral service in Nile church
last Sunday. Rev J. W. Hisey preached
an exceedirtgly comforting and appro-
priate sermon from John 13:1.3, ale
Spoke very feelingly of Mr. Malwaiti's
Christen experience, of his clear and
definite hope of the Life Beyond." For
hint death had no ging, and the grave no
victory.. Much tympattay is felt for the
bereaved family. Besides Mrs. Mellwaiti
there are two eaughtert Mrs. Wm. Wat-
eint and Met Fred Jarvis of Alberta, and
VT) on*, Leonard ang /hank at home.
