Prof. Amyot, the provincial bwm-‘ ijologist, gave a detailed report beâ€" fore the Provincial Board of Health Thursday morning on the series of exhaustive tests â€" and _ experiments which have been conducted at Berlin with a view to ascertaining the limâ€", itations of the septic tank system of sewerage disposal. Contact beds and intermittent beds were used and the net results show varying degrees of success under different circumstances. Berlin was selected for these experiâ€" ments on account of its great variety of industries sending out all kinds of ewage matter. â€" The experinients show that the caâ€" pacity is limited and either "precipiâ€" tation or bacteriological treatment of a practical kind fails to remder the afluent at all pure, though a very large percentage of the impurities is removed. The result of these experiâ€" ments will prove valuable, not only to Berlin people who are extending their works, but to other places who are going in for sewage.

He had the oversight and _ made . the grades of the improvements. The road formerly was out of repair, with holes‘and at places very narrow. The sidewalk was old and badly out . of repair. As a result of the improveâ€" ments property values have increased. The old sidewalk was two and a half feet Higher than the lots, which even at that time were very undesitable for building purposes. The . figures given By Mr. Bechtel were exaggeratâ€" three lots could be filled up for $192. ed. In the witness‘ opinion, . the appellant â€"‘No more witnesses for either side were called: Mr. A. Millar, K.C., based hhcne] on Sec. 671, subâ€"sec. 6, and clause‘ (e) of the Local Improvement Act, which reads: "Unless he finds that the property in respect of which an appéal is brought cannot, from its, situation, be benefitted by such work or improvement.‘‘ He contended that evidence submitted proved beyond a doubt that the lots had not been benâ€" efitted by the improvements, but, on the other hand had depreciated in vaâ€" lue. ‘The county Judge had no powtr to apportion the ‘assessment, but he had power to strike it off entirely. Town â€" Solicitor Clement in . a lengthy argument in which he cited many similar cases, contended that the clause, on which the appeliant‘s counse} had based their case meant that where the lot was not situated on the street improved that the County Judge had power to strike off the assessment, but the full intention of the local improvement system was that every inch of property . along which the improvements were made should be assessed on equal basis. He also contended that the appellant‘s course was to have sought compensaâ€" tion, provided by the Act, for the inâ€" jury, if any, done to his property. It the appellant‘s assessment . were struck off, it would mean a teâ€" arrangement of the assessment of all the propetties along the streets beneâ€" fitted by the improvements. This closed the evidence His,Honor reserved judgment until Fruh) afternoon at 2 o‘clotk. .

The assessment on the road improveâ€" ment is $137.47. Judge Chishoim said the work was done under a general byâ€"law of the Corporation, No. 455. After hearing and considering all the evidence subâ€" mitted and alleged by both counsel for both parties I find as follows: ist, As to the street a roadway that per se it is no injury to appelâ€" lant‘s property, it is a general imâ€" provement and . appellant‘s property is benefitted thereby and I confirm the assessment of said property for said street or roadway improvement, and I dismiss the appeal as to this and sustain the decision of the Court of Revision respecting it. s Ond. As to the cement walk, I find that the property is not benefitâ€" ted and cannot without the expendiâ€" ture of moneyaltogether out of proâ€" portion to the value of the properiy assessed, be benefitted by this work, and 1 sustain the appeal and" direot that the assessment of the cement walk against property in question be struck out.
