Liberty; In All Things. Charity.” RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBE Reeve Lunau presided and received the gift on behalf of the municipality. Richmond Hill was proud to receive this gift from the Prince of Wales wno had so endeared himself to the Canadian people and to the people of the world, he said, and also expressed the wish that the children would take good care of the gift so that they would grow, flourish and be a thing of beauty forever. After a chorus by the children of the public school, Councillor J.R. Herrington addressed the gathering expressing his appreciation .of the gift from The Prince of Wales. Ex reeve Thos. Trench also spoke eloquâ€" ently eulogizing the popular Prince who had proved himself such a suc- cessful ambassador of good will with- in the British Empire and through- out the world. ‘ The peGny roots were planted by Mr. John Sanderson, one of the oldest residents of the town and the first president of the Horticultural Society, Miss F.M. Brown of the Public School staff and viceâ€"president of the Horticultural Society, and Mr. George Gee, president of the Horticultural Society. After the roots were de- clared well and truly planted the cerâ€" emony was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem and three cheers for His Majesty King George V. and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. ' A unique ceremony was carried out on Monday afternoon when the peony roots presented to the village by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales were planted in a fitting manner at the Public School Grounds in front of the Memorial._ The thoughtfulness and generosity of His Royal Highness in presenting to every incorporated village and town in Canada similar peony roots was highly commended by the various speakers who paid tribute to the Prince as the most popular personage in the world to-day. There were four appeals against the assessment when the council met as a cburt of revision on Monday night. Two of the appeals were dis- allowed and slight reductions were made in two cases. The appeals were by H.A. Nichols, Dr. Hamilton, H.W. Cook and the T1105. Clark Estate. Mr. Nichols pointed out that he thought the assessment on his Yonge Street property which was formerly occupied by the Shoe Company was too high in comparison With other properties. He ‘claimed that the assessment of the town was not equitable and that he ‘had suggested a year ago that a com- “mission be appointed to have it revis- ‘ed and equalized. The council were ‘of the opinion that the assessment iwas fair and in as much as a reduction of $200 was made last year refused to take any action this year. Four Appeals At Mr. Cook drew attention to several cases which he pointed out were ex- amples of inequality of asses‘s’inent and asked for a substantial reduction. A reduction of twenty-five dollars was allowed by the council. The as- sessment of the property of Dr. Ham- ilton was‘ lowered $200 and the assess- ment of the Thos. Clark estate was sustained.
