ASSETS—WHAT AND WHY?
The question of the valuation of the
town'• assets has been raised by the
letter of 'T. G. C." recently published
In these columna. The assets of a
municipality are, after all, an indeter-
minable quantity. Goderich's sewers
and cement sidewalks are valued at
over $140.000 In the latest financial
statement (for 1920), thought their
marketable value is almost nil. The
town *pends more money on roads than
on anything else except schools, .and
yet thLe expenditure is not represente8
in the statement of assets, for the rea-
son that the roads belong to the
Crown.
We are accustomed to regard our
waterfront as the town's one greatest
meet; but neilier can we per Mirth
our official statement of assets. As a
matter of fact. the town owns very lit-
tle property at the waterfront.
From the standpoint of the tax eot-
lector, who has to provide the funds to
keep the municipal services In opera-
tion, the town's greatest aneet Is the
presence here of some four thousand
people whose householders and husl-
nesa men can be levied upon for taxes.
But we cannot put a value on these
taxpayers and place that in the state-
ment of assets.
If we adopt the principle that only
those things be counted es assets on
Which the town could actually realize
nn sale, we should have to cut down
our valuation very materially. We
fancy 1t would be dlfheult to find pur-
chasers for our Collegiate institute
property at $70.000 and the public
M•hools at $40.000. On the other hand.
If we .figure on replacement value. we
might have to increase the figures now
representing some of our averts.
We do nor suppose that anybody is
losing any sleep over the matter, or
will wore hlmeelf ill If the statement
•f asmet* Is not absolutely beyond gneP-
tlon. Furthermore, something mast 1*
left for the reifies evf flange numb/Mal
to argue about. 1Towever—just n* e

etc.? The town has a sllrplat (on
pater) of assets over llah111ties of
se.methtng like n quarter of n million
dollnre. it looks fine. but it ennnot be

for groceries and gasoline. and If 1t

A LtBlput Motor.
A garage tLechanlo—who is also
an expert electrician—living at Lin-
coln. Nebraska, has spent his leisure
during th past three years in con
structing what he declares to be the
smallest electric motor ever made.
The total weight 'of the motor IS
one hundred grains. The machinery
run by the motor, aqd the Motor it-
self. are mounted on a block of wood
3 % inches long and 114 Inches wide.
There are fifty-eight .;arts In the
motor made of gold. silver, coppe7; '
brass, and Iron. These parts are held
together by nineteen screws, the
smallest of which has 260 threads,
and the largest 220 threads. Many
of the parts are so small that they
cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The belt makes 400 revolutions a
minute and is made up of strands
constructed of cotton thread.
The maker, Mr. E. Kahm, had to
WN a jeweller's magnifying glass
whilst making the parts.
Hotter Than the Shit.
A temperature four times hotter
than that of the sun was attained
during recent experl:.enta at Mount
Wilson Observatory. At this terrific
heat the burning gases of metals
were quite opaque.
The flame of a candle can be seen
through. but no one can see through
the blinding name of a metal burn-
ing at 20,000 degrees centigrade.
This astounding temperature was
produced by hurling the discharge
from an electric condenser at a tea.
40.919 volts Into a metal wire
drawn out to a state of -remarkable
fineness. The flash of light caused
