One was from Miss Olive Switzer who claim- ed her Yonge Street property is too highly assessed. The present assess- ment is $1325.00 on land and $2700. on the building. After considering the matter the members decided that it was assessed equitably with other comparable properties and on mo- tion the assessment was confirmed. The other appeal was from Miss Morris who owns the red brick cott- age on Yonge Street next to Little Brothers garage. It is assessed for $1950, made up of $1300 on the building and $650.00 on the land. On motion the assessment was confirm- ed. The business before the council was largely of a routine nature and included the paSSing of accounts and the awarding of the contract for the painting of the waterworks tank. The contract price for the painting is $495.00 and the work will not be started until next April, as the mem- bers felt the best results could not be obtained by doing the work at this time of year. The members of the Veterans re- membrance committee request the public to allow ample space at the memorial for those taking part in the parade.

Despite unfavorable weather there were sixty-seven contestants in the various classes at the annual plow- ing match sponsored by the King and Vaughan Association and held at the Municipal Farm, Concord, last Friday. The site was ideal and plow- men worked under ideal conditions except for a biting cold wind which blew all day. However the incle- ment weather was harder on the spectators than the competitors and it was the visitors who complained most loudly. The unfavorable weath- er conditions k-ept many away from the match, but during the day there was a large attendance of interested spectators. The crowd kept moving, and cars were continually coming and going, so that the number who' visit- ed the match was mluch larger than it looked at any one time. The Sweepstakes award and the A. J. H.
