MENT FOR COUNTY PURPOSES (Kincardine Review -Reporter) The question as, to what is the proper basis of County equalization: in order that the County rates may be fairly and equitably apportioned among the various municipalities was debated at considerable Length by the County legislators at the June session in Port Elgin. While no decision -Wasarrived at and no acton taken to chan- ge hapge the present basis, which is the real estate values, the contest is certain to be renewed as notice of motion was given by two of the townships reeves that the matter would be introduced at the December session. This contentious question of Colin; ty equalization has come up at vari- ous times in the Bruce County parlia- ment and has generally resulted in a 95C WXNGHAM AD"V',A.N I .TX1 2t. the Highways Act under which, prior to this Year, the County was obliged to refund to vilages zoo per cent and to towns 75 per cent, of the .county levy fol highway purposes, and under which, by the amendment of x9a5,, the county is obliged to assume the central twenty feet of the connecting links in all urban centres. They also point out that under recent legislation High, Continuation and urban Public Schools are entitled to largely increas- ed grants from the county, the county being responsible for a considerable portion of the cost of the construction of school buildings in the towns and villages, as in the case of Lucicnow, which this year received from the county a grant of over $9,00o to, the Continuation School there. This cleavage between town and Country is apparently note nfined to Bruce. County as evidence 61 it is seen in the proceedings of the Grey Coun- ty Council, which at its last session was divided into two hostile camps— urban and rural, the township legis- latots there lining up solidly against the proposal to pay the cost of paving the central twenty foot of the connect- ing links in Hanover and other towns in Greys County. Grey County Coun- cil consists of 34 members of whom 23 represented townships and zz re- present towns and villages and the former had no ' difficulty in carrying the day. In Bruce„County, however, the opposing parties are more evenly divided, the townships having 19 Ree- ves and Deputies and the towns and villages r5 Reeves. As .Huron Town- ship will likely lose its Deputy in 1926 owing,to the incorporation of Ripley as a village the division will be 18 to 15, and as St. Edmunds and Lindsay are almost as much urban as rural, the Reeves of the two northern townshi• ps will hold the balance of power in the contest. B.OILS. By Dr. W. J. Scholes ,Occasionally someone is so unfor- tunate as to have one crop of boils ?after another. Anyone so afflicted would like to know why the boils oc- cur, They would also like to be in- formed on what can be done to pre - /vent them. For the prevention on 'any disease consists of a practical ap- contest between rural and urban Reeves, the former contending that in arriving at a proper basis fbr equali- zation the assessment, business and in - d as well as come should be include real estate values. As there is very little business assessment in the coun- try and as township assessors practi- cally ignore) the assessing of income, the result would be that if the conten- tion of the township Reeves were to prevail the urban municipalities in the County would have, to provide a con- siderable :larger proportion of the County taxation than they are at pre- sent "responsible for. The introduction of this controver- sial question at the present time indi- cates a certain cleavage between towa. and country. For some years past the rural Reeves claim that the pro- vincial legislation has favored the ur- ban centres and in support of their contention they cite the provisions of plication of our knowledge of its cause, Boils are always caused by infec- tion. The infection lodges about the hair follicles and in the oil glands of the skin. The germs responsible for the infection are usually of the kind known as staphylococcus. They ei- ther enter from the surface of the skin or are brought to it from some nest of infection in the system. The ton- sils, the teeth, gums, nose and nasal sinuses are some of the places where, nests of infecticia frequently occur.

The cure for rickets is sunlight and cod- liver oil. These . are also the preven- tives. Either plain or phosphorized cod-liver oil may be given, The diet should contain some scraped beef, ve- ,getables that have been mashed and put through a sieve, some oatmeal and egg yolk. The milder bone deformities some- times tendto correct themselves as the baby rcovers from rickets and grows. In some cases . the use of braces, casts or other means of cor- recting the deformity is necessary, It would be strongly advisable to place this baby in the care of a doc- tor. Spider Bites Mrs. S.

(Copyright, x925 by The Bonnet Corporation, Chicago.) Returning to the subject under dis- cussion, the equalized assessment of the real estate for the whole County at the present time is $28,146,170, this being apportioned accordance with the reports of the County Valuators made in x911 which is the last year when Valuators were appointed to re- vise the assessments. Under the As- sessment Act the county and the va- luation thus made shall be the basis of the equalization for a period not exceeding five years. The council may, however, at the expiration of the five year period, renew it a further period of five years or less without requiring another valuation, The object of this legislation is to enable the County Council to check up the work of the assessors and to ascertain whether valuations made in each Township, town or village hear a just relation to each other. It is a well-known fact that the assessors in some municipalities particularly the Townships, assess the real estate at only a percentage of its value, 5o per cent., 6o per cent., or 75 per cent. while in some of the towns and vill- ages the assessment is pretty well up to the mark of value. The duty of the county valuators is to compare the work of the different assessors and where they find some municipalities assessed low and others high, they equalize the assessments for county purposes by adding or deducting such a percentage as may belnecessary to produce a just relation and an equit- able division of County taxation a- mong the various municipalities. Since Bruce became a separate county in 1867 there have been only our County valuations made, the dates of valuation and names of the valua- tors being as follows: 1879—James Rowand and M. L. Mc- Kinnon. z889—James Brocklebank and H. T. Potts. sects—Townships—L. T. Bland and I. T. Potts; Towns 'and Villages— Edw. Kilmer and J. B. Campbell. zein—Townships- James McEwen and Jno. Robinson; Towns and Vill- ages—L. A. Brink and Jas, Lyons. Prior to 1911 the basis of the equali- zation included not only the real es- tate values, but also the business and income assessment, In that year how- ever, the urban municipalities got to- gether and appealed to the County Judge on the ground that business and income assessments, Although the equalization sections of the Act had been in force for many years there was 'some doubt as to their meaning and as to whether the intention was to in- cludebusiness and income as regards the levying of the County rates. The Act provides that county rates are to be levied on the whole "rateable pro- perty" of the County and the legal point arose as to whether "Property" could be constituted to include business and income. In some of the other counties of the Province decis- ious have been giver} by the County Judges that business and Weenie are liable for County taxation, the restsit being that the basis of County taxa- tion arises in the different counties.

""T'he camp this year was ono of the best climbing' camps we ever had," said T. t. Moffatt, regard- 'ing the outing of the Alpine Club of Canada, at Lake O'Hara, this summer. The weather was ideal and there was work for all classes to do, Vikings to Lakes McArthur and Ossa, and to the bpabin Neo. Then shorter climbs wore available for the graduates, such as Shafer and Odaray. The more seasoned climbers had Huber,Victoria! Lefroy and Hunaboe. The hih .mountains were in a better condhlion this year than they have ever been before owing to the scarcity of ice. From 50 to 60 members were out every day climbing, the two days' trip over the passes being very popular. Through the courtesy of the Canadian i'acifie Railway, which placed its hut, situated at the top of the Abbot Pass, at the disposal of the members, the work of climbing was greatly facilitated. The' annual tills#ries° meeting of the Club was held at Lake O'Hara Camp en August 5th, This was an auspicious occasion, for Contain MacCarthy, leader 1 .iilo.2Ikuunt Loom eacaegliti a and 1101r S, Ida von of the party, were present.

MacCarthy and his party--Coulc'i have been more appropriate than amid the superb peaks that surroun4 O'Hara. Flags of various nation° were strung be: tween the trees of this primeval forest in whiclo Cat camp was pitched, this being the Club's own prapeetyi, which Mr. Wheeler, its director, secured as far back as 1.907. The scene was a festive one, the whole atmosphere, despite the serenity of these majestic peaks and lake, was one of . joviality and *very ono was in particularly good spirits. Captain MacCarthy was elected ae honorary mem- ber of the Club, not wholly on account of this Mount Logan ascent, but on other grounds as well, for the was recognized long before this as an outstanding mountaineer.
