Lindsay. F. G. DAWSON, WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTOR In the year 1914 a most ecare- ful was by assessor, and IT think the assess- valuation made our ment made by him met with very general approval of the ratepay- evs in Prinee Rupert. That this was the case was clearly shown by the few objections that were made before the Revision Court And, further, in many of the cases that were brought before the court the assessor himself noticed the inequalities, and prae- tically joined in the request that they should be corrected, and this was done. If, therefore, we start with the proposition that we have the As- sessment Roll of 1914, whieh, al- though it may not be absolutely and I might say sessment roll was ever perfect it appeared to be) satisfactory to the ratepayers at large. The Municipal Act, Section 205, subsection 2, gives to the Couneil perfect no as- nevertheless power as follows: “If it thinks fit, by resolution, adopt for any year the assess- ment roll of the previous year, with such amendments and alter- by ” r ations are this section made permissible. The section further as provides The adoption of last year’s roll the necessity of the assessor making will absolutely do away with a new valuation on account of the change of circumstances eaused by the war, which, it is to be hop- ed, will not last much longer. Admitting, as I think it must he admitted, that last year’s assess- ment was practically equitable, no person will be injured by allow- ing that assessment to stand for this As I question assessing understand the of land, the great point is to see that all par- year. ties are assessed on an equal basis, and hurt no person if the his piece of property is too high, his sessed at a proportionate rate. It tion Is really even assessment on provided neighbors are as- appears to me that subsee 2, Section 205, for whatever reason it was passed, is well! cal- culated to meet the present emer- gency, and should be taken vantage of. With to be adopted, ad- regard to the procedure I think the first thing is that the Council should pass a resolution proposing that the Assessment Roll for last year be This resolution should be sent to the City Asses- adopted, City Solicitor CLASS FORMED IN HOME NURSING The second class for ladies in the St. John Ambulanhee course, viz., “Home Nursing,’ tas been formed and will meet for lectures in the City Hall on Thursday eve- ning of each week at 8 p.m. sharp All to attend Those who did not attend the lec- tures Aid take up the Nursing lectures and examinations and later on take up ladies are invited in First may liome the First Aid work.
