CO. EQUALIZATION
COMMITTEE NAMES
COUNTY ASSESSOR
Will Recornmen.d Alex Alex-
ander,' Grey Twp., To
County Council.
The recommendation of the equal-
zation committee of- Huron County
that Alex Alexander, of Grey Towm
ahip, be appointed'Huron 'County as-
sessorn'irrill be submitted to County.
Council at the January session,
which opens In Goderich on Tuesday,
Jan. 20.
Twenty-two applications for the
position were considered at a meeting
of the committee held last Friday. Of
these, five were chosen for personal
interviews after a process of elimina-
tion, and Mr. Alexander was the final
choice.
Mr. Alexander was a member of the
• County Council` for seven years when
he represented' Grey Township as
deputy -reeve and neevenand was War-
den of the county in 1945.
The system to be used in equaliza-
tion of the assessment of the munici-
'polities will involne setting up a card
system throughout the entire county
which will give a detailed description
of every property in 'each municipal-
ity. The yardstick to be used will
apply to all raunicipalities, thereby
eliminating the discrepancies which
exist an the present time due to the
fact that each municipality is assess-
ed on a system of it own.
Under the proposed system, the lo-
cal assessment and the assessment
used for county purposes may be the
:same.
At .the present time there are 12
counties in the province using this
system of assessment.
The equalization committee was
given power at the November session
to select an assessor and submit
their report to the council for ap-
proval.

FORTY YEARS BRING MANY
rese.
-CHANGESenees
The Editor, The Huron Expositor:
With deep regret we learned •last
week of the passing of Harry Tyn-
dall, much -loved and respected in our
old community. Yes, many changes
have taken place in these years. For
two and one-half miles from the Leon -
and Sholdice farm to the John Reinke
farm at the Kippen Road—at that
time the Leonard Sholdice farm—
there lived William Wallace, Michael
Williams, John Murray, James Sproat,
John Sproat, William Archibald, Wil-
liam Chesney, William Sproat, Harry
Tyndall, Dave Chesney, Henry Ches-
ney, Pearson Chesney, William Dobie
and John Reinke. With the passing
.of Harry Tyndall, only a -few are left.
MI were a big happy family, mak-
ing their own fun pretty' much, and
happy were the days (and nights too)
when they used to meet at Sproat's
brickyard and at other homes. When
we gathered together on Hallowe'en
might, consisting mostly of the young-
er set, one of the places we called at
was Harry and Aggie Tyndall. While
Harry and Aggie gave us a royal wel-
come, Anthony Tyndall ('Harry's
father) was a little worried for fear
'we would steal his gate, but of course
we would not do that. Harry would
get out his violin and I can hear him
yet playing "Pop Goes the Weasel,"
also the tunes he used to play on his
engine whistle.
He had a team -drawn steam engine
as he did a lot of threshing for a
number of years, and used to have a
repair shop oii his farm, where he
said nearly all his own repairing. I
think the shop is still there, but I
believe it is a home for the car now.
It was always a delight to us kids
when we saw Harry Tyndall coming
Alii-eshing. It was lots of hard work
as he got every -one out early in the
morning, but it was always happy
and the work went on.
• With the passing of Harry and the
many others on this line, I cannot
help but think of the good old days,
not so old either," and as one by
'one they have passed on and are now
at rest "beyond the ann.set," I cannot
refrain from penning a few lines.
With thanks to you, Mr. Editor, will
sign myself:

skyline. The tree measured We
feet across the stump, Was 125

feet of good :sound pine lumber.
