Moved by Alderman Hatfield, seconded 1,y Alderman Greenwood
that the Rules of Orer he suspended for the nurpose of discuss-

Alderman Vau,.han: "There are in the ha-,Ids of the City

it is, it will take: nearly a yenr to hear all the sppeals. What
is the position of the ,,erson who '7as not been heard after the

January 12, 1956.
City Solicitor: "The Tax Appeal Court."
Alderman VauAlan: °I would suggest that the Cciurt consider
meeting one or two evenings a week to hear some Appellants."
City Solicitor: "I think if enough requests came in on a
postcard to be heard we could have a docket lined up for the
evenings. Any person desiring to be heard should notify the
Clerk in writing and let the Court take it from there, then the
docket could be made up for those particular persons."
Alderman Dunlop: "I think it is far too early to anticipate
we are going to have difficulty. I would suggest that the Court
sit the regular hours; ten till one, 2:15 to 4:30 or 5:00. The
first few appeals decided a great many appeals. I would not get
alarmed at this stare that the Court will not get it done in time.
I believe a lot.of those people are afraid 1-hat the rate will be
and that is why there Pre so many appeals. I believe the Court
is Master of its own procedure. They can decide if an evening
session is suitable. In Dartmouth they meet in '1.1e. evenn;s. I
would suggest :-hr t the City Solicitor and City Clerk 1-,e relieved
of other duties pending the completion of this work."
Alderman Ahern: "Suppose on February 26 there r. _P r lot of
appeals that have not been heard and the Mayor says he will
budget for a deficit?"
City Solicitor: "You a"e not allowed to budget for a
deficit."
Alderman Ahern: "Suppose we find ourselves in an awkward
position?"
Alderman Dunlop: "By that time the Court will have a food
idea where it is going."
Alderman Ahern: "You will not have more than twenty appeals
a day and it is only b weeks to ro."
The Deputy May-7r: "Can ;e notify the court of the discussior
that took place tonight?"

City Solicitor: "It is the City Clerk."
Alderman Ferguson: "There e_i.e certain appeals I understand

kept faith with the City end we want the Aldermen to keep faith
with us. If it were to 1 e eonfAned to 't. e.1.:inr: itself it should
be confined to the present ‘7(-Iisity and soiae aseurance that we
would be guaranteed that it would never 1-e used commercially or
that the street would not l‘e opened up."
Mr. Donald McInnes, Q. C. appeared in support of the proposed
rezoning on behalf- of the Dominion Stores Limited and remarked as
follows: "The Company is erepred to have no entrance on Pepperel:

A lot of the res',_dents have come to us and said we are prepared to
go along with it lf sou will llock off the entrance. We have
placed a plan on your desks. There is a parkinE lot on Sp:. 117,
Garden Road and we hear no complaints from it. We have been held
up building this leuileing for eearly a year. The building is
going to add taxes to the City. It would he a bitter :istake if
this were unfortunately turned down. I would ask the approval of
the Council to the applicatien."

Alderman Lane: "Certain other properties owned by this
Company bring in as much as $16,000.00 in taxation to this City.
I know their lots are used for off-street parking and no
objection has been raised by this Coornany. I think every con-
sideration has been 0.ven to the Shaar Shalom ConrregatIon when
they asked for a special parcel of land when they wanted to build
a Church. I am sure that Dominion Stores will do as they say. "
Alderman Macdonald: "I would be a;reed if the mover would
agree to adding certain conditions to it. The residents in that
area were very much concerned. Since that time I think the
Dominion Stores have maCe some new conditions that mioht 'oe
implemented to protect the people of the area."
He then suggested the following: "That the applicant,
Dominion Stores Limited, be required to landscape, hedge and
construct a chain link fence to protect the hedge along the
western and southern boundaries of the area rezoned and that
this work he carried out and comple.oed on the comnletion End
odcupancy of the building. That a bona of ';2,500.00 'T'e posted
with the City to the satisfaction of the Town Planning Engineer
to guarantee carrying out of the work. That there shall be no
entrance 6r exit to this property from Pepperell Street from the
date of the resolution."
Alderman Lane said she could oot aoree to certain of those
conditions being included in the motion. She mentioned the fact
that this particular piece of land was in an area where there is
a dearth of open playo.ro,Inds for children and that a chain link
fence was an expons4.ve matter a nd if it .:ere ercted the children
would have only one means of egress and th t would be on C..uinpool
Road. If a hedoe ere wanted she felt cure the Dominion Sto
res
Ltd. would provide °hat.
Alderman Macdonald stated that he had been advised by the
representative of the Dominion Stores Ltd. that they would be
prepared to do vt:.at be had suggested.

Alderman Greenwood: "I am sure thrt the Dominion Stores
Ltd. will do what they say in the mAntits of this Council. The
residents are not now in :ny elan7er of trafJ:c congestion on
Pepperell Street.°
Alderman Ferguson: "Cannot the Dominion Stores Ltd. come
back and say this is not working out well and we want to change
it to go out on Pepnerell Street?"
City Solicitor: "In my opinion that tune of Ay-Law is not
authorized by Section 12 of the Town Planning Act."
Alderman Ferguson: "I think a ler-al undertning is what
we want. Nobody wants to -ive a bin('Anr, arTeeent."
Alderman DeWolf: "Is her srmetHinc can he done by
way of a non-coilfing use'? Can you cre,.ce that?"
City Solicitor: "It can be done by leislation."
Alderman Ahern: "Supposincr - hey raid to 's -e :, re not

City Solicitor: "Subject to the provisions of the Health
Regulations, I think they could do it."
Alderman Dunlop: "If this is a !Ip.:.hing lot I woul.d be ih
favor of it without restrictions. We have the traffic authority
here and we did not hear from him. If it were made ins :) a park-
ing lot the situation would be etter if there was an entrance or
Pepperell Street. We know the hours of the Dominion Stores. They
are closed ev.--!.y summer eveninfr. I am unable to vote for this
for the same reason as 'r,efore. This property was sold as resi-
dential. The former Council decided these 3 lots were to
be sold as rer,Idential and they called. for tenders. I wanted it
zoned commercially. The comprny took nrother co):rsc t.;;,:
I can't
in the face of eci ion of the Cou -ell made last :rear,

January 12, 1956.
The Deputy Mayor: "The Chief of Police oxpressed
himself that it is desirable to hav,:3 an entrance on Pepperepp
Street."
Alderman Dunlop: "We have to cosider '- he City as n whale
and the condition of traffic. To put , 1; crs on CJIinpool Road
at the busy time will create a traffic hazard. If they went on
Pepperell Street there are several ways they could ret out into
the City. Bents Limited is only a little distancn away from it.
If the Council will vote to rezone Bens Limited, I will vote for
this. I would suggest the two thins are pretty well linked
together."
Alderman Ahern: "I am definitely arninst roinc into
Pepperell Street. I think everybody is satisfied that the new
plan is acceptable. I talked to residents on Pepperell Street."
Moved by Alderman Lane, seconded by Alderman Greenwood that
the application Coy: rezoning a sect ion of Pepperell Street owned
by the Dominion Stores Limited for the purpose of builr'inE
parking lot be granted in accordance with the plan subrlitt,ed.
City Solicitor: "You are just creating r non-conorming
use. You are not rezoning. You could obtain lerialatn to
create a non-conforming use.'
All previous motions were withdrawn at this time.
Moved by Alderman Lane, seconded by Alderman Greenwood that
the City of Halifax rezone the lot of land as requested by the
Dominion Stores Limited from R-2 Zone to C-2 Zone.

Total ri.:.rfrial pension under Plan .... $1,75:).0
The plan provides for Liugmenting pension in respect of any year from 11-% to 2% if the employee contributes 5% of salary of any year prior to jana7y 1, 1951. If.the above employee had
30 .ontributed to the fund for the period January 1, 1945 t. December 31, 1950, his pension for that period would have beers
increased by $135.00 (3/4 of 1% x 3000 x. 6)
His total pension from the fund would then be $1,890.00.
Section (1)(a) of the proposed legislation provides that an employee such as above, who contributed for the period January 1/45
to December 31/50, will receive a further supplemental pension, payable by the City and not the fund, of an additional amount of
41225.00. (3/4 of 1% x 2500 x 12)
This is in respect of the non-contributory years prior to .ianuary
1, 1945.
This additional sum Iyould be payable by the City out of current revenue.
The total pension would be $2,115.00 for an employee with
35 years service and who was receiving $3500.00 on the date of his
retirement. Of this pensinn, the sum of $225.00 is paid from the City's funds to supplement the amount received by the employee from the Superannuation Fund.
2 ONO
ILLUSTRATION OF SECTION (2).
If the above employee had not contributed for the period January 1, 1945 to December 31, 1950, but commences to make such payments to the City within a year of the coming into effect of this legislation, at the rate of at least 10% of the total amount of the total to be paid (or $90.00 per year), he will be entitled to receive from the City a supplementary pension .r 3/4 of 1% of his average salary during this period, which would amount to $135.00 per year. He would also be entitled to receive a further additional sum from the City of $225.00 per year, representing the increased pension from li% to 2% for the years from the beginning of his employment to December 31, 1944. The total annual cost to the City for such a person would be $360.00, for which the City would have received the sum of $900.00 if the elzployee had 10 years to go to reach 65.
If an employee with the same salary earnings, but who would reach 65 years of age in less than 10 years from the coming into force of the legislation, who commences within a year of such coming into force to contribute to the City for the past service benefits between January 1, 1945 and December 31, 1950, he will not be able to pay up the full amount at the rate of 10% per year. If the total to be paid is, say, $900.00, he may only pay perhaps six of such $90.00 instalments, or a total of $540.00. The legis-lation considers in this case that he has paid the full $900.00 and on this basis he becomes entitled to receive from the City a supplementary pension of 3/4 of 1% of his average salary for the period January 1, 1945 to December 31, 1950, and a further supplementary pension at the same rate on his 1944 salary for each year of employment prior to January 1, 1945.

Section 805 is repealed and the rcil„:1.
805. Illuminated signs, advertisements or ailiplays having
colored lights or glass shall be hung at sa,...h h ght above
the sidewalk or street pavement as may be approved by the
Inspector of Buildings but no such sign, adrtttlement or
display shall be hung at a heighth less than ,-.111nt fe_=, above
such sidewalk or street pavement.
(Explanatory note: Under present legislatLcn the signs
mentioned above must be at least 25 feet -above the street.
It is felt that this height requir.lmnt work:-J a hardship
on small store owners as well as on the firm installing
such signs. The amendment leaves it to the Building
Inspector to fix the height in each case - not to be less
than 8 feet above the street.)
Item 16.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sect1ormI 535 and 540, the City may permit the owner of the property situated at the nor .
:-
east corner of Gottingen Street and Falkland StIeet to construct an
addition at the rear of the existing building, nutwithstanding that
such addition when constructed will constitute an E,nz..13achment over
the northern official street line of Falkland :i;tre?t, provided,
however, that if the said property shall be removed o-L e-,o destroyed
as to require the re-erection thereof the same hall not bc rebuilt
or replaced so as to constitute an encroachment on ialkland Street.
(Explanatory note: Through inadvertence, l'ellE-vtng that a per-
mit would be issued, the owner of the prov,rty TAestion pro-
ceeded to commence the erection of an ao6Iti,)n to his property
which fronts on Gottingen Street. In 395L r official street
line was laid down on Falkland Street ar- prt,..v.E-nts the owner
from proceeding with his work. The effo:t r41 *1-; egislation is
to enable the owner to complete the work pDr which is
already done.)

EVENING SESSION SPECIAL MEETING
Council Chamber, City Hall, Halifax, N.S., February 6, 19!):), 8:00 P.M.
A meeting of the City Council was held on the nhove date.
After the meeting was called to order by the Chairman and
before considering the regular order of business, the members of
Council attending, led by the City Clerk, joined in repeating the
Lord's Prayer.
There were present His Worship the Mayor Chairman; Aldermen
DeWolf, Dunlop, Lane, Macdonald, Adams, Fox, O'Malley, Ahern,
Wyman, Vaughan and Hatfield.
Also present were Messrs. A.A. DeBard, Jr., W.P. Publicover,
R.H. Stoddard, C. P. Bethune, Q.C., J.F. Thomson, L.M. Romhey,
J. L. Leitch,, V.W. Mitchell, A.P. Flynn and Dr. A.R. Morton.
The meeting was called specially to consider the follol-ing
items:
1. Lighting Armdale Rotary. 2. Remuneration Members of Court of Tax Appeals. 3. Appointment of Services and Community Commit7,P
e.
Appointment of Assessment Appeal Comlittee.
5. Estimates 1956. e/f
City Manager: The Committee on Works discussed ths
matter and decided they wanted wooden poles becivIse the lighting
would be provided by the Nova Scotia Light and Power Co.,Ltd. I
have written to the Province and said !Ault would your answer be
if the City Council decided they wanted another type of lighting.
I have been advised that whatever tyne the City wants the:,, '.ill
pny their Fhara; half and half. Steel is short end hard to ret.
I believe the engineers 'share the view that wooden poles would
no loA too badly. Six have to be steel for the trr)11:: coach
wires. The cost is V1,000.00 for steel poles and unOerround
wiring.'
LIGHTING ARMDALE ROTARY
-56-
February 6, 1956.
Alderman Ahern: "I don't think we should perml.t the Nova
Scotia Light and Power Co., Ltd. to spoil a good lob by installing
wooden poles. They can get the steel poles if they try Lard
enough."
Moved by Alderman Ahern, seconded by Alderman Hatfield that
steel poles be erected in and around the Armdale Rotary on a
dollar-dollar sharing basis with the Province of Nova Scotia with
underground wiring at an estimated cost of $21,000.00.
The City Electrician in answer to a question advised that
the approximate cost of operation of the lights and current would
be $50.00 per unit per year. ”.,800.00 mould cover the 36 poles
on the Rotary.
His Worship the Mayor: "Could you tell us how many poles
are in the County?"
Mr, Flynn: "I would say approximately 25 in the County. It
has not been laid out on the plan how many are in the City and in
the County."
Alderman Vauf;7han: "The County does not enter into this
picture whatsoever. For many years there were no payments made
by the County for the lights on the Dutch Village Road. I believe
the Nova Scotia Light and Power Co., Ltd. will pay the County's
share of the operation."
Alderman Dunlopi "This is not a big issue but it involves
some money. It is not fair division. I would like to speak in
support of ,00den poles. I would like to draw to the attention
of all members of Council the pole that has been nut up in the
rear of the Library. I am sure we can fret wooden poles of 'J 6
type put up for nothing.'
Alderman Hatfield: "How long do the steel poles last in
comparison to wooden?"
Mr. Flynn: "I have known wooden poles to })e in for 30
years."
-57-
Te:
February 6,
Alderman Macdonald.: "I think we are spending around
$200,000.00 on the whole thing. I think to put up woodell roles
would spoil the Rotary. To put in steel poles would be ay
well spent."
Alderman Vaughan felt that any further expenditure on the
Rotary should not be tolerated by the City Council.

of the Court of Tax Appeals was considered.
It was agreed to recommend that the Chrirman of the Court of
Tax Appeals be paid at the rate of $65.00 per day and the other

W.P. Publicover, CITY CLERK.
Alderman Vaurhan: "In moving the higher honorarium the

Moved by Alderman Vaughan, seconded by Alderman Malley
that the report be approved effective as of February 1st, 1956
and the members of the Court be paid for Saturdays as well.
Alderman Lane asked what the professional fee was for anyone
of these gentlemen who were on the Tax Appeal Court to which His
Worship the Mayor advised that $100.00 a day was the fee for a
solicitor at the going rate.
Alderman Vaughan asked what the fee would he for Counsel on
a Royal Commission and was advised by His Worship the Mayor it
1.7ould be $200.00 a day.
Alderman Vaughan: "In view of what has happened here in
apnlying Cleminshaw valuations to our assessments that eff^rt
has been made by the City to recover from the Company any money
which is justly due to us in the extraordinary sittthgs of the
Court? A claim was made here by a salesman of the Company and
he said there would be very few appeals. He said the evaluators
would sit here for a time and listen to the complaints and answer
the questions of the tax payers. They did not sit here Ps long
as they might have. Very little of Cleminshaw is roinr to be
adopted as far as our assessments are concerned."
His Worship the Mayor: "That is a very pertinent question
to be raised. It is within the rambut of the committee to be
set up to be reviewed."
Alderman Dunlop: "Has this matter been before the Finance
and Executive Committee and recommended by them?"
His Worship the Mayor: "Through a Committee of the Whole
Council."
Alderman Dunlop: "In my opinion matters of finrnce rhould
come through the Finance and Executive Committee. Some Committee
should take the repsonsibill_ty for making the recommendation."

February 6, 196.
Alderman Ahern: "We did discuss it nt a meeting; of the
Finance and Executive Committee called in your office a few
Gays ago. This could have all been avoided if 13 other. Alder,len
had voted with me last year. I am going to support the motion.
I think Mr. Bissett is worth more than M5.00 per day. I donst
see why we should delay it."
Alderman Lane: "I would like to have one other point
clarified. When the original arrangement was made the fees were
agreed upon and acceptable to the members of the Committee at
that time?"
His Worship the Mayor: "Yes that is right."
Alderman Macdonald: "What were the fees paid to the old
Board?"
His Worship the Mayor: " $300.00 ner annum."
Alderman Macdonald: "How long did it sit?"
His Worship the Mayor: "Three to four weeks."
Alderman Vaughan: "I feel Alderman Dunlop is right that
the matter should go to the Finance and Executive Committee. I
will withdraw my motion."
The matter was then referred to the Finance and Exe'itive
Committee.
APPOINTMENT OF SERVICES AND COMMUNITY COMMITTEE v/
His Worship the Mayor: "I would like to have Aldermnn
Macdonald and Greenwood and any others who wish to volunteer to
meet with a half dozen people. They are striving to have more
of the service men in the homes of our citizens.
This was agreed to by Council.
APPOINTMENT OF ASSESSMENT APPEAL COMMITTEE V/
WHEREAS the Council deems it to be expedient to
appoint a Committee to confer with the City Solicitor from time
to time when necessary in order to determine ;letters arising from
the hearing of nppeals from the General Assessment made for the
civic :rear 1956, as more fully hereinafter set out.
February 6 19r,6.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that a Committee consisting of
Alderman Macdonald, Alderman Vaughan and Alder!lan Dunlop be
appointed for the followiru purposes:
(1) To confer with the City Solicitor from time to time
concerning any matter arising from the hearing of appeals from
assessments by the Court of Tax Appeals;
(2) To recommend to the City Solicitor when necessary the
name of a qualified real estate appraiser or appraisers to be
engaged by the City to act on its behalf as on expert witness in
such assessment anneala as may be considered expedient and to fix
the remuneration to be poid to such appraiser or appraisers;
(3) To approve, subject to later ratification by the Council
of such appeals as in the opinion of the Committee and the City
Solicitor should be taken from decisions of the Court of Tax
Appeals; and
(L) Make such other enquiries concerning the work done
by the J.M. Cleminshaw Company in conducting the revaluation of
real property in the City as such Committee may determine.
Moved by Alderman Hatfield, secohded by Alderman Adams that
the resoltuion be approved.
Alderman Dunlop: "I would ask to be removed from that
Committee. I would think that thin is another Super Appeal
Court. I might find it embarrassing to serve on that Committee.
My partners have taken some appeals. I may find a conflict in
my duties as a barrister and a member of this Council. I believe
the responsiblity for recommending to this Council t,h7.t fppeals
be taken to the Courts lies on the City Solicitor. He Is the one
who should advise us which ones to take appeals on. He and his
staff are the;people who represent the City in these nppeals. If
I were in his position I would not be too happy about getting advice
from another solicitor who is a member of the Council. I hope we
are not .oing to get into a bat7le of exerts. You can have
experts on both sides and you can Fet an expert to see one tliinc7
and f, nother to see pretty well the opposite. In assessent matters
we 1-,ave the best expert in the City and he is the City Assessor.
If we have not faith in our nsscsEors and they cent represent the
City lefore the Tax Appeal Court, we better dr p our case. I hope
Council will ro into a cotmittee f tl,e. 1-hole in privrte
sesIon no te who are n-t ',11 the Asses. lent ApIl-n1 Court will hear
February' , 1'
from our Officials what their feelinrs ere. We will herr, from
the Solicitor. We all 1-now it is not cood. It is clear to me
that someone is wrong in this City. We have to find nut 7:!et)ler
we did set value from this Company. We can't discuss the merits
of certain appeals in public. I think this Council is entitled
to hear the views of our Officials. We the Aldermen are retting
the blame for it. No Off'iciel said to me that this assessment
was out of line. We are entitled to know where our machinery
fell down. This was going on for 11 years. Our Assessor's
Department, we are told, worked with the Cleminshaw Comneny."
Alderman Vaughan: "I now find myself in a nosition where I
want to gel; off that committee. It is because I feel I am not
qualified to say that this building is worth "X" dollars aE7-inst
the City Assessorts valuat i ons or whether I should ludc:e if the
Tax Appel Court is wrong. The sole resnonsili_lity Iln(!er the
Charter is with the Assessor."
Alderman Hatfield: "I think this matter should le deferred
until later in the meetin = after we have dealt with ,- ther matters."
Moved, by Alderman Hatfield, seconded by Alderman VaT'han that
this matter be deferred until later in the meetieg.
Motion passed.
Alderman Macdonald also requested to be removed from the
Assessment Appeal Committee.
His Worship the Mayor: "Where ere conducting a case
with the eppellant ;71.':inc sales data, surely the City ran do so
which will rebound to the Cityis edventnge."
Alderman Vflu'han: "The Assessor took an eath on Jew)er:
snyin g that these assessments we-eto the 1-cst of his belief
to be the_:issens::iet,s. It is up to him to ray he vreAs to
appeal to the C-unt. Co'Art."
Alderman Ahern: "The decicions of the Tax Arr-,enl Court Pro
tataount to complete relections of the Clemins'Jw velnations.
I think it is up to someone to -et the tax payers out of this."
- 62-
Februay
Alderman DeWolf: "I do not thinl: the Cleminshaw valuations
outside the residential were realistic ones mad had no bearing
on what the Charter provided what the City Assessor should assess
properties for. I went to them while they were here nnd I said
Mr. Deering there is a property we are offerini7 for sale at
$75,000.00 and you have it assessed et M.5.(: 000.00. Surely that
will have to be changed. The property vas sold for ?:,10,000.00
less and he cut it to 2.31,000.00. It was basee on a formula
and that formula was not precise. In 100 ,!ears there was 5%
allowed for depreciation."
Alderman Ahern: "The Alderman from Ward #2 referree to the
Assessor. Who is he referrim: to? I don't think everyt:- ing
should have been thrown on the shoulders of Mr. Thomson.1
9:00 P.M. Council adjourned to the Mnyoris Office.
10:5 P.M. Council reconvened. the folloinr members being
present: His Worship the Mayor Chairmrn; Aldermen DeWolf. Dunlop,
Lnne, Macdonald, Adams, Fox, O'Malley, Ahern, Wyman, '\7!.1r.n and
Hatfield.
Moved by Alderman Dunlop, seconded 1..y Alderman Hatfield that
all assessments be reduced 10% and in cases rhere the .q7, ,ssment
has already been reduced by the Court of Tnx Appeals blow that

Alderman Ahern moved an amendment hr t, the rate be set
at :J.)% rather than 10% but there Was no sr.cnr.
Alderman O'Malley: II oppose such a Afttr 11 it

matter of tax dollars. If the present residential nssessilents
are equitable, probably 95% are, I don't think it justifies us
to take any action to reduce the assessments. That beclouds the
minds of the citizens of Halifax that they are getting something.
The same applies i:Tith respect to Commercial properties. There
is no lessening of the burden of the tax dollars that the cOmmer—
cial properties will have to pay. It is doing en injustice to
theme who have appealed to the courts because the decisions of
the courts have based their findings on the actual sale vnlue
which is in conformity with the Charter on which the Assessor
must base his assessment. I don't think we are Foing to naint
any rosier a picture than to let it stand on the present rate,as
it is the tax dollars that count."
Alderman Vaughan: "As this is an informal motion, I hold.
the right to abstain from voting."
Alderman Ahern: "There is not Much relief in sight but it
is better than nothing. I hope when we strike the rate the
members -A.11 strike a low rate that will not cause the tax pa7ers
to pay more than they did before."
City Manager: "I said assuming we required no more :noney
this year than we did last year, certain rates :-ould have to 1--,e
worked out. I made up r budget and the Council has added to it
or cut it and that becomes the budget of the City of Halifax."
Alderman Ahern: "What is the relief for the tax payers.
Can somebody forecast something? Will there he a recommendntion
for a lover rate by any Department Head?"
His Worship the Mayor: "You can nropose any rate."
Alderman Ahern: "I have a rate in mind of .;1.16 for the
residential tax ”ryers nnr' some rate for 'he commerclill tax
payers."
Alderman DeWolf: "There is no relief by te 10% reduction

understand that they were treated bn an equitahle basis :Ind need
not fear. Many were fooled."
