Tribunal Adjourns to Thursday November 30th to Hear Arguments
The same standards of valuation
were applied on business property in
the county. H. J. Quinlan, of Mogg
and Quinlan, vounty valuators, said
when questioned by W. K. McGibbon
when the hearing of
against the assessment by Goderich
Stephen Townships was resumed
Wednesday last, the sixth day of
tribunal.
. Quinlan, who was on the stand
ail day reviewed properties formerly
taken up, with comparison -of assess
ments. In his opinion the differ
ence in figures was accounted for by
the absence of local additions and
alterations. Land only was valued
at from $1 to $8 a foot for
ital lots, and in Goderich
places were valued at $50
age foot on corners; $40 in
and $20 on side business streets.
A net value was placed on build
ings and additions to assessments
were made according to convenors.
Hot air furnaces were considered to
increase the property by $100; hot
water by $200; verandahs from $50
to $300 and garages from
$350.
In Stephen Township Mr.
said extra value was placed
farmers can get out any time of the
year, as there is no farm that is not

Mr. Quinlan said that he and Mr.

Bulk Assessments Improper
For the purpose of county equali
zation bulk assessments on syndicate
summer resort property are highly
improper and, in fact, illegal, H. J.
Quinlan, valuator, told the assess
ment appeal tribunal.
The witness, who has now been
on the stand for 14 hours, likened
the bulk syndicate assessments to
fixed assessments of industry, which
also are in disfavor, he charged.
The Maple Grove syndicate of
Grand Bend was under scrutiny
when the comment was made. Mr.
Quinlan said this syndicate owns 40
acres at the Huron County resort.
On it were 11 cottages, a five-car
garage, a tennis court with a cement
base, etc. The local
ment on the land
on the 11 cottages,
000 in all.
In contrast, said
township’s special
Walker, had appraised private land
immediately adjoining the syndicate
property at $1,600 for half an acre,
and in another case $1,000 for
acres.
Mr. Quinlan also brought to
attention of the appeal board
a prominent cottage at Grand Bend
was assessed locally as a quarter of
an acre, whereas by actual measure
ment was half an acre.
Witness valued land on Wood
ward avenue, Grand Bend, at $7 a
frontage foot; on Park avenue the
same; on Huron street $9, and on
Lane street $8 a foot. He said some
cottages rented for as much as
for a week-end. Because it
crowded, central cottage land
valued lower, $.5 a foot.
Photographs of Grand Bend
tages and business buildings, which
in some cases are valued by Mogg
and Quinlan at over three times that
of the local assessor, were put in as
exhibits by J. W. McKibbon, for the
responden ts.
The hearing entered its eighth day

Crediton, Dashwood, Centralia Pro
perties Compared With Blyth
Mr. Quinlan, compared proper
ties in Stephen with similar ones in
McKillop from the angle of the re
spondents; and in Centralia, Dash
wood and Crediton with the village
of Blyth.
The total area of Stephen was
67,087 acres, of which 60,330 acres
was farm land and 118 acres of
swamp according to the assessment
roll, he stated.
The acreage in McKillop was 52,-
095, out of which 5-2,040 was farm
land and 1,673 acres swamp, slash
and waste land, mostly locoted in the
north east corner of the township,
and owned by the Canada Company.
In McKillop there are very few
small properties which have a quar
ter acre with a building. There were
six farms assessed for $1,000; 40
for from $1,000 to $2,000; 41 for
from $2,000 to $5,000; 180 for from
$5,000 to $8,000 and 37 over $8,-
000. Only 26 small properties were
assessed at $1.00 to $1,000 and four
at $1,000 to $2,000.
In the Township of Stephen 85
farm properties were assesssed for
from $100 to $1,000; 146 at from
$1,000 to $2,000; 176 at $2,000 to
$3,000; 189 at $3,000 to $5,000;
155 at $5,000 to $8,000.
In Crediton there are 56 proper

Would Tax Old Building's Out of

By Jean Allison, Regina
The following account of
Christian Youth Conference at
sterdam appeared in the Regina
Leader-Pest. Miss Aillson is a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm, J. Allison,
of Regina and is a niece of Mr. J. T.
Allison, Mrs. Robt. Kydd and Mrs. F.
R. Hamilton. Miss Allison arrived

“However, different assessors have
different ideas, but
that is the only way
up,’’ he said.
Witness explained

heart of Simcoe and had been up
held on appeal.
In Goderich, he went on, he found
home owners reluctant in telling him
at what price they valued their pro
perties. Rentals were not consider
ed, nor were sales in most cases.
“The only bona fide sale is where
a seller is willing to sell, but does
not have to sell, to a buyer who is
willing to buy but does not have to
buy,’’ Mr. Livermore was told. He
considered his appraisals in Goderich
would compare favorably with sales
made on this basis.
“But my assessments are for coun
ty equalization purposes only,” he
stressed. They have no relation to
boom or depression periods."
“In 1926, last equalization year,
money, was plentiful and houses very
scarce, and property sold at high fi
gures, but in other years the exact
reverse was the case, but these fac-
tos have nothing to do with equaliza
tion assessments,” was the testi
mony.
Asked by Mr. Livermore why he
had assessed business property in
Goderich at $40 and $50 a foot
frontage and in Seaforth and Wing
ham at $30 a foot, Mr. Quinlan re
plied. ""
“That again is a matter of opin
ion, experience and judgment,
one thing, Goderich has twice
many people as Seaforth.”
In Goderich, witness said he
used the samd* yardstick in valuing
dwellings — from 30 to 70 cents in
square foot — as he had used in Lin
coln County and in Preston.

Youth work in their home countries.
Three, out of every five delegates
were men.
The preparation for Amsterdam
was as important at the conference
itself. Ever.p delegate represented
a score or more who shared in pre
paratory studies from three specially
written books on the subjects of the
conference program. Such a wide
consideration of specific problems
which faced the Christian young
people of the world has never be
fore been attempted.
It is hard to predict in advance
what will be the most abiding con
sequences of this conference. But one
thing is a certain fact, the experi
ments in worship at Amsterdam have
been new experiments in the life of
the oecumenical movement. They
have been a development of lines
already tried, but a development of
which the full consequences will only
be seen later.
The central idea was that the dele
gates represented various church
traditions and not merely a variety
of private religious experiences, so
that if you want to come to a real
understanding of the churches you
must see them at their most typical
that is in their forms of corporate
worship.
Accordingly those who conducted
worship in the concert hall each day
were asked to do so as representa
tives of the tradition from which
they came. Some of the most inter
esting documents that delegates will
take home with them are the little
grey booklets in which the form of
worship for each day is set down
in three languages, Those little
booklets will remind us of exper
iences we will not forget; the Rus
sian evening service which closed
with the Lord’s Prayer sung by a
Yugoslav choir: the service led by
an African with its moving solo,
calling to worship, in the words of
an old African prophet; of the sev
ere dignity of the Calvanist service;
of the restrained spontaneity of an

and what was
a conference.
Fifteen hundred young people from
72 countries met together at Amster
dam from July 22 to Aug. 2 to take
part in this conference
world Christian unity. In spite of
an immense variety of background,
we were nevertheless at one in truly
essential things and had a common
cause in the present day world.
Our main concern was, and is, to
seek together to know and to do the
will of 'God and to think through the
concrete and living issues with which
we are faced.
, We did not come together think
ing we should be able to offer ready
made solutions for the world’s ills or
to draw up programs of action
which tell everybody what to do.
Amsterdam’s achievements may be
judged according to a different and
deeper standard—-that is, a sense of
the indestructible bonds by which
Christians are united, an understand
ing of our own small task in the light
of the whole task of the church of
Christ in the world, new insights de
rived from the influence contact with
fellow Christians and, above all, a
new courage based on the knowledge
that God is really at work in His
world.
Along with plenary sessions, the
group as a whole was divided up into
smaller groups, the object of these
special subject groups being as fol
lows:
To create a fellowship in which
delegates can share their thinking.
In view of the size of the conference,
it was of great importance that the
group should be the unit in which
each delegate could feel at home and
in. which he could attribute:
To make delegates aware of points
of view other than their own;
To seek and to find a wider and
deep understanding of the common
needs and problems of youth and
God’s answer to them;
To work toward an
thought which can be
other Christian young
To grow into a sense of unity and
fellowship in the faith which shall
transcend, without escaping or mini
mizing, the barriers which divide
mankind.
It was not the purpose of the dis
cussion groups, nor of the conference
as a whole, to formulate resolutions
on the subjects discussed. It was
rather earnestly to consider the
specific situation and responsibility
of the Christian young people and of
his church in the sphere of life in
question, with a view to outlining ac
tual practical steps for Christian
youth tp follow in all these areas.
In an enterprise of this kind the
practical and the spiritual must be
inseparable and we must be ready to
co-operate even in the smallest mat
ters toward these ends.
The Amsterdam conference
Christian youth has been remarkable
in its representativeness, for it was
not a “mass conference” in any
sense; every delegate was carefully
chosen by a recognized group in his
home country. The delegates were
representative of the Christian
youth of the world, not only in their
personal capacities, coming from
every walk of life, but in the 220
specific organized groups from all
over the world which think of them
as their ambassadors.
With visitors, official and unoffi
cial, more than 1,500 Christian
young people took places according
to their 7Q or more nations at the
opening session.
The conference was representative
further in the world organizations
which have collaborated in its pre
paration by lending not only their
names but members of their staff in
preparation and support. These in
clude the World Alliance for Inter
national Friendship through the
Churches, the Universal Christian
Council for Life and Work, the pro
visional committee of the World
Council of Churches (in process of
formation) the world's committee of
Young Men’s Christian Associatoins,
the Young Women’s Christian Asso
ciation, the World Student Christian
Federation, International Missionary
Council, the World 'Sunday School
Federation and the World Christian
Endeavor.
One half of the delegates of the
conference were chosen by these or
ganizations while the other half
came from the churches of the world
That Amsterdam was a representa
tive of youth conference is attested
by the fact that 58 per cent, of the
delegates Were under 26 years of
age, There were the greatest num
ber aged 24, Forty percent of all
present fell in the 25 to 26 year
group. The limited number of ob
servers and guests were all associat
ed with youth work, Most of the
delegates were students. Thirty-five
per cent, are engaged in Christian
congregation united in prayer, while
those who were making their com
munion passed in long, quiet files to
their places.
For those unable to participate in
this main communion other services
were held. To these services people,
of other communions were invited to
attend as observers. Among these
services were included the Greek
Orthodox, Lutheran and Anglican.
It helped us to understand the cus
toms of the different churches
seeing these services.
