Councillor Sims said he felt that the proposition of the commission‘was quite fair and he thought the council would stand behind them in anything they did. He moved that the council confirm the appointment. In second- ing the motion councillor Mansbridge said that he was in mil sympathy with the Board of Trade and he was sure the whole council was willing to back them up in their effort to secure in- dustrial development. The motion carried unanimously. ‘ Regarding any inducements to be offered the Reeve pointed out that the municipality was limited by certain statutes but that as far as Richmond Hill was concerned they could go to the limit. The matter of a financial It was pointed out that the adoption of the minutes had nothing bearing on the action of the council and was mer- ely an account of the proceedings of the previous Meeting so councillor Middleton seconded councillor Mans- bridges motion for their adoption and it carried. ‘ Ratify Industrial Commission The members of the Industrial Com- mission appointed by the Board of Trade. William Davies, Ex-Reeve T.H. Trench and W. Thompson appeared before the council asking that their appointment be ratified by the counâ€" cil so they could approach prospective manufacturers with a strengthened hand as the Industrial Commission of Richmond Hill. ' Mr. Simsâ€"Then was it necessary for us to accept the only one that came in? Reeve Lunau~lf the members of this council go around and listen to every- one in town I don’t know where we will land. Reeve? Lunauâ€"We never have adverâ€" tised that I know of. Reeve Lunauâ€"We only had one ap- plication. Mr. Simsâ€"Did the public- know we wanted applications for the position? Mr. Mansbridgeâ€"â€"I move the minut- es be adopted as I think it was a very satisfactory solution to appoint the assessor that night. Councillor Simsâ€"The main thing is as I see it is that if we take action as has been suggested and secure a man to go around and value buildings, if the assessor has all the power, what’s the use of sending him. As far as assessment in Richmond Hill is con- cerned it’s assessed nearly saleable price now. ’ Reeve Lunau â€" Would you take for your property what it’s assessed for? Mr. Simsâ€"No, none would because you can’t get what it's worth. All the members were present at Monday’s meeting "and the session nearly got away to a bad start when there was a long discussion and hesi- tation regarding the adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting. Councillor Middleton made the objec- tion regarding the appointment of the ‘assessor. He pointed out that three of the members were opposed to apâ€" pointing the assessor at that meeting but on a ruling of the reeve that it had to be done as all the appointments had to be on the one by-law the ab- jection was withdrawn by the memâ€" bers and the appointment made. I have found out since “said Mr. Middleâ€" ton. “that such is not the case". Reeve Lunauâ€"Well what’s the odds 7 Mr. Middletonâ€"It’s a lot of odds. Councillor Davis * I thought at the time it should have been left over for another meeting, but it’s gone through now. Councillor Mansbridge â€" I fail to see where there could have been any improvement. The estimates for the year 1929 were passed at the regular meeting of the Richmond Hill council on Monday night when the rate for this year was fixed at 54.4 mills which is three quar- ters of a mill reduction over last year. The matter of a revision of the asse55_ ment was discussed at some length and it was left in the hands of Reeve Lunau, councillors Mansbridge and Sims who will make an investigation into the subject and report to the council at a. special session which will probably be called in the near future. Councillors Advocate Park lmprovement - Pledge Support To Industrial Commission and Ratify Appointment TAX RATE REDUCED FOR 1929 COUNCIL TACKLES THE ASSESS- MENT EQUALIZATION PROBLEM 'ater nm the Councillor Sims introduced the ques- tion of park improvement. He thought the council should make some serious effort every year to improve it. It’s not a beauty spot, it’s not a sport field he said, and he was of the opinion that it should be fixed up. He suggested that a certain sum be set a- side each year for the work and that a start should be made this year. Counâ€" cillor Middleton and Davis heartily concurred in the suggestion and the recve said that probably some money could be spared for this purpose later in the year, when it was known what other work would have to be under.â€" taken. The reduction of the tax rate will ‘be received with satisfaction by rateney. ers of the town. It is not a big re- duction but as one citizen remarked. “it’s going the right way now.” Councillor Sims said the council should‘ thank the School Board for the re- duction in their requisition which made a reduction possible. On Mans‘t On motion of councillors Middleton and Davis a committee was appointed to investigate and secure prices on doing the work. Reeve Lunau, coun- cillors Mansbridge and Sims will be the committee. Councillor Middleton favored gett- ing an outside man who had a know- lledge of assessments and let him do lthe work. He favored getting a price from such a man. Reeve Lunau thought if the counéil could secure the services of a carpenter who would‘val- ue all the buildings'in the village that it would be a great help to the assess- or. Councillor Sims thought that our assessor should have that knowledge, but if one were engaged he favored getting a. local man. Councillor Mansbridge remarked that the angel Gabriel could not satisfy everyone.‘ Reeve Lunauâ€"Well if we’re going to do something let’s do it now, if not let’s get on with some other business- and go along in the same old rut. " Following the fixing of the tax rate Reeve Lunau introduced again the lmatter of the proposed equalized as- fsessment. He explained that it was a problem which had been hanging fire for some years. It was brought. up in November of last year but was: left over for the 1929 council. “Now it’s up to you gentlemen,” said the Reeve. ‘l The amount to be raised by general ‘village rate will be made up of such ‘items as, salaries $2,435.; amount due ‘High School collected in 1928 but not taken $3000., note to bank $4000., street lighting $1500., rents $290.; fuel, telephone, etc., $125.; printing stationery, etc. $600.; insurance $500. 3.2 Mills Total Mills . . . . . . 54.4 Mills The dog tax and poll tax-was fixer? the same as previously and the (1an of the payments of the instalments‘r' will be the same as last year.
