Minutes of the COURT OF R!VISION for the year 1956, told in the Municipal Ball on the
evening of October 19-56.
The meeting was called to order at ap-roximately 8.30P1, with Reeve, Alward in the
chair, and with Court members, Bugler, Brown, Wright, and Loucks. in attendance.
The first appeal heard was that of Mrs. ''dith Hull, her rate having been set at $1.45
all sq. ft. The assessor on looking up the rate found that he had put her property in
the class of a one story single dwelling, and it should have been in mere than one
story, and recommended that the rate be lowered to between $1.10 a $1.20. After some
discussion it was ordered that the rate be set at $1.15 a sq. ht. or authority
• Next was the case of Thos. Steele, who claimed that the kesessor had no right4 to raise
or lower the assessment on any property, after having had it assessed by a prrfeesional
assessor in the year 1953. The Court disagreeing with this assertion, ordered the
assessment to stand, as assessed for the year 1957. Total assessat ment $1013.00 on
Roll # 181.
Next was the appeal against the Business assessment of the Valley Camp Coal Co. of
Toronto. who claimed they should have been a ed as a Retail business, Mr. MoCaulley
of the Company, who had come to represent them, produced documentary evidence, *titian
to show that at all other of their Coal docks, Toronto, Port Colborne wto. they w-re
classed in the Retail Category. This evidence also went on to show, how and why they
were placed in this class. The Judges ruling b-ing that w anyone, selling o^er 5C
of his goods direct to the consumer be classed as a retailer, and that w anyone selling
to a Dealer, who in turn would sell to the consumer, be assessed as a Wholesaler. The
Assessor admitting, that at the time of actual assessment, he did not know how these
classes were arrived at, recommended that the rate be low-red from 75% to 50%, and
class the Valley Camp Coal Co. as a Retailer. After some discussion on the subjeet/it
was agreed by the Court, that the rate be lowered as suggested by the Assessor. -
Next was the case of Jack Rankin, who wanted his property assess-d to the Separate
School. It was expalined by the Assessor to the Court that he had written Mr. Rankin,
explaining, that it world be neneesary to sign a form, supplied by the Separate School,
b'fore the assessment could be changed, and that this had to be done before July 1st.
of the y ar in which he wished to have his assessment changed. Therefore his assessment
would hs'e to go to the rublio Schools for the y ar 1957.
Fext was the appeal of the Canadian Canners Ltd. of mai 1ton Ont. who had named •
r-fund of taxes for the year 1956, owing to the destruction of the dbu+lding, during a
storm on September 6th. 1958. It was the decision of the Court, that } of the taxes,
be allowed for the year 1956. On the appeal for the year 1957, it was ordered that the
building, as remained, be re-assessed in the month of November, and that the assessment
stand for 1957, or until such time as the building, was completely demolished, and the /
Company could then make application for refund for that portion of the year when no
building was standing.
Upon completion of the Court of Revision, the Clerk, read two applications, for the
position of Clerk-Treasurer, and Tax Collector for the Village. These applications
were from Mr. Jos. Hynes, and Mrs. Helen Cooper. After much discussion on the subieot
there was a motion by J. A. Wright, seoonded by Wm. Bugler, that this Council appoint
J. W. Hynes to the position of Clerk-Treasurer, and Tax Collector effective December
1st. 1956. at an annual salary of $500.00. It is further recommended that Mr. Hynes

Minutes of the fourteenth meeting of the Council of the Corporation of the Village
of Port Burwell, held in the Municipal Hall on the evening of August 8th. 1956.
The meeting was called to order at approximately 8.15 PM, by Reeve H.O. Alward who
presided over the meeting, Councillors present were Wm. Bugler, J. Wright, A. Louoks
and S. S. Brown. There was also several taxpayers present, who were interested in
the decision of the Council about the building of a ooal loading ramp, on the Vyse
property, planned by the Imperialle Fuels Co.
The Clerk, having talked with Mr. W.A. McManus of Imp-rialle Fuels, prior to the
opening of the meeting, advised the Reeve, that he d-'sired an audience with the
Council, as soon as possible, owing to the fact that he had to be in London, at an
early hour. Therefore the Reeve, called on Mr. Montanus to speak to the Council, if
he so wished. Mr. McManus then went on to edplain his side of the erecting of his
coal loading ramp, after which several taxpayers, rose and told their side of the
subject. After much discussion it was agreed by Mr. McManus, that he would refrain
from building the ramp on the Vyse, property, providing the Council would give their
permission for his erecting the ramp on the C.P.R. property at the foot of Wellington
St. It was also suggested that he look over another proposed spot just on the outskirts
— of the Village. But Mr. McManus pointed out that he did not wish to have to haul his
III/0
coal out of the Village limits, as every mile he had to haul the ooal added to his
expense, and in order to compete, in the coal business, he had to keep his costs as
low as possible. Mr. McManus also made a couple of suggestions that he wished the
Council would take into consideration, that of prevailing on the Department of Public
Works, to install a much larger turning basin, at the southerly end of the Harbor,
to a000 nodate much larger ships, and also to keep pressure on the Highways Depart-
ment for the paving and maintenance of Chatham St. to the waters edge.
After this discussion there was a sunnery of accounts payable by the Clerk, after which
there was a moti•n by A. Loucks, seconded by S.S. Brown that accounts No's 1 - 28 on
Voucher No. 8 be paid and that the Reeve be authorised to sign same. RFS # 48 Carr.
Several othersubjects were discussed bit nothing decisive considered, therefore there
was a motion by S.S.Brown seconded by A. Loucks, that this Souncil adjourn u til the
next reg lar meeting unless in case of emergency. RFS # 49 Carr.
