We Invite our readers to make use of this column. An item in the ^papers of two weeks ago reported the equalized assessment of the various muni­ cipalities of Huron County, and ■stated that a very excellent job had been done. In part the re­ port gave the following assess­ ments—Clinton, $1,556,857; Sea­ forth, $1,423,551; Wingham, $1,754,997; and Exeter, $2,035,- 450. These towns are all about the same size and the same population. In view of that can anyone imagine that Exeter should be assessed for about $600,000 more than Seaforth, $500,000 more than Clinton, and $300,000 more than Wingham? Perhaps there are reasons for it. It affects every ratepayer in Exeter when it comes to county taxes. Can anyone explain? —A Ratepayer* (# Name withheld by request.)
