Upon it being ascertained by the representatives of S.S. No. 8 that the transfer of the property in question was made from S.S. No. 9 to S.S. No. 8 in 1909, on the understanding that it was to be limited to the length of time in which Mr. Mast’s children were of school age, they, the representatives of S.S.

May 26th 1919. Court of Revision The members of the Municipal Council met in the Council Room, Aberfoyle, at 10 a.m. today, as per motion of adjournment, for the purpose of hearing and deciding appeals against the Assessment Roll of the Township of Puslinch for the year 1919. Upon the members taking the required declaration of office, the Court was duly properly constituted, Reeve Ross presiding. The Clerk read the list of appeals, which had been duly received, and the Court heard and decided each as follows: |
|
|
1. |
George Butcher, to be assessed as owner of part Lot 37, Rear Gore, 1/5 acre ─ After Mr. Butcher had stated his case, and a letter read from Colonel MacDonald, acting for the Ironside estate, now assessed as owners of the property in question, a motion by Messrs. Cockburn and McLean, holding that the appeal be granted, was put to the Court, and lost. The appeal was therefore dismissed. |
|
2. |
Geo. McGill, that the property, of which he is tenant, is assessed $2000 too high, in comparison with fully 75% of the other property assessments. ─ Mr. McGill, in stating his case, convinced the Court that such was the case to some degree, at least, and he was allowed a deduction of $700 on the land on Lot 6, and $300 on the land and $500 on the buildings on Lot 7, making a total reduction in assessment of $1500. |
|
3. |
Geo. McGill, against the assessments of John A. Cockburn, Alex McLean, John Walsh, and Geo. J. Meldrum, as being assessed 25% too high in comparison with his own assessment. ─ In receiving a reduction on his assessment, Mr. McGill then had no case and, in consequence, withdrew the appeal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
John Maloney, for over assessment and business tax ─ a reduction of $300 was allowed on buildings, and the business assessment of $500 was struck off. |
|
5. |
John Cole, as being assessed $100 too high ─ reduced $50 on buildings. |
|
6. |
John Fyfe, against dog tax ─ allowed. |
|
7. |
Joseph Hewitt, against assessment of Edward Hewitt, bookkeeper, owner of Lots 13, 16, & 17, Puslinch Beach, being part of Lot 5, Rear Concession 1, as being in error, and should be assessed to Joseph A. Hewitt, Secretary, owner of Lots 13 & 16, Puslinch Beach ─ This claim was allowed, and the assessed value of Lot 17, viz., $25, struck off the assessment, Lot 17 being assessed to the “en block” owners, The Guelph Radial Railway Company. |
|
8. |
Wm. Jackson, against dog tax ─ allowed |
|
9. |
John N. Blair, against income tax ─ allowed |
|
10. |
David Maltby, against income tax ─ allowed |
|
11. |
Chas. Maltby, against dog tax ─ allowed |
|
12. |
Wm. Crow, against dog tax ─ allowed |
|
13. |
Thos. Heffernan, against dog tax ─ allowed |
|
Apropos to the Butcher appeal, the decision of the Court was made on the contention that whereas the claim to ownership made by Mr. Butcher is under the Limitations Act, and whereas such claim is disputed by the Ironside Estate, now assessed as owners, it is therefore necessary for Mr. Butcher to establish his claim before a proper judicial court, before being assessed as owner. |
|
|
|
Moved by J. A. Cockburn, seconded by Alex McLean, that the Assessment Roll for 1919, as revised and amended, be confirmed. |

December 1st 1919. The Puslinch Municipal Council met in regular session in the Council Room, Aberfoyle, at 2 p.m. today. The following members were present: Reeve Ross and Councillors Cockburn, McLean, and Walsh, Reeve Ross presiding. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the Clerk, and adopted on motion of Messrs. Walsh and McLean. A communication from the Township Engineer gave the following reports on the several Municipal Drains: |
||
|
Drain No. 1: |
|
|
|
Rē Foley-McLean complaint ─
Upon examination, find no impediment to the working of the drain more than
the accumulation of some silt, etc.
Find no necessity for the repair of the drain under the act. Advise diverting the waters of the creek,
which leaves the sideroad about 800 feet north of the new culvert, where this
drain leaves the road, down to this culvert and discharge it into this
drain. This would make a current the
year round and prevent growth of grass, weeds, etc. in the bottom, and would
also prevent waters from spreading over |
||
|
Drain No. 3 |
|
|
|
Contractor will get no further this season than the sideroad between D. A. and Alex McLean, leaving about 7500 feet yet to be done. |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||||
|
Drain No. 4 |
|
|||
|
Contractor expects to finish this season, having about 4800 feet to do. This work very satisfactory. Advise construction of a railing along drain on sideroad from new to old culvert. Advise prompt opening of new culvert, in such manner as to allow working of drain. |
||||
|
Owing to stress of business, the matter of this report was laid over until next meeting. A telegram from the Fuel Administrator of

January 20th 1921. Mrs. Wm. Nicol, Dear Madam: I am instructed by Council to convey to yourself and family the sincere sympathy of the Board in your recent sad bereavement. The fact that
your late husband has for so many years been more or less closely connected
with municipal affairs in A gentleman of the old school, his opinions, always given with due consideration, were highly esteemed, not only in municipal affairs, but also in business and social life as well. A man of soldierly bearing, with whom punctuality was a virtue, direct, but fair and considerate in speech, a model of integrity and faithfulness to duty, his life will long remain a monument of the ideal citizen in the minds of the present generation, a memory especially revered by those privileged to be numbered among his friends and acquaintances. While feeling
keenly the loss of so eminent and valued a citizen, I have the honour to be, Madam, yours very truly, A. B. Falconbridge, Clerk |

February 7th 1921. The Puslinch
Municipal Council met, in regular session, in the Council Room at 1:30 p.m.
today. The members were all in
attendance, Reeve Mr. Alex Tawse was granted his request that the statute labour of the Wingrove farm, recently purchased by him, be transferred from Division 211 to ______ (left blank). A deputation from the Morriston Public Library received a grant of $15.00 towards the purchase of new books. The auditors’ report of receipts and expenditures, for the year 1920, was received and adopted, and their recommendation that the Council revert to the appointment of a Collector of Taxes was laid over for further consideration. A deputation from the Aberfoyle Farmers Club and Community Club made strong pleas to Council for the free use of the Township Hall for their meetings. It was pointed out to these gentlemen that the revision of rates, put through at the last meeting, covered only the cost of fuel, light, and caretaker’s fees, which all others Farmers Clubs in the township were under the necessity of paying in their respective localities, and that while the Council had no desire to discourage these meetings in any way, it was felt that no objection could be taken to the payment of the actual expenses incurred thereby. The matter was laid over, however, for further consideration. |

Court of Revision May 30th 1921. The members of the Puslinch Municipal Council met in the Council Room, Aberfoyle, at 10 a.m. today, and after taking the required declaration, they were duly constituted as a Court of Revision, to hear and decide appeals against the 1921 assessment roll. The only appeal made was that of Robert Herman, who, having disposed of his dog, desired the assessment struck off. The Court decided that, as the custom of striking off dogs, after being properly assessed, is illegal, it would conform to the law regarding such cases in future, and therefore disallow the claim. |

December 31st 1923. Nomination Meeting The annual nomination meeting was held, pursuant to statute, on December 31st 1923, at one o’ clock p.m., in the Township Hall, Aberfoyle. A large attendance of ratepayers was present, and the following gentlemen were duly nominated for the offices of Reeve and Councillors: |
|
|
For Reeve: |
Hugh Ross and William H. Schultz. |
|
For Councillors: |
Wm. Crow, Thos. S. Doyle, Marshall Haines, Donald G. Hanning, Daniel J. Hesketh, Peter A. Patterson, & Fred Roszell. |
|
Mr. Hugh Ross failed to make the required “Declaration of Qualification” within the required limit of time; therefore Mr. Wm. H. Schultz was elected Reeve by acclamation. In consequence of the fact that the nominations for Councillors exceeded the number of offices to be filled, the meeting was adjourned until Monday January 7th 1924, to be decided by ballot at the polls designated in the bylaw prepared for that purpose. (signed) T. W. Robertson ─ Returning Officer |
