Our Flax Industry All Right.

Our flax mill project has not been
the success i'll the past that was pre-
dicted for it by its most ardent agita-
tors, owing perhaps to several causes.
Much of the seed was sown too late.
The season was against the successive
growing of flax and much of it did not
open, and a great deal did not get its
growth, consequently the price the
farmers were given to understand they
were TO receive per ton could not pos
sibly be given by Mr.. COchrane, and
the result was II dissatisfaction and
lack of faith as 20 the truthfulness and
veracity of Mr.. Cochrane's reasons
why he could not pay SO per ton for
the farmers flax. Mr.. Cochrane we
believe labored hard To make Il success
of the enterprise but has not succeeded
partly due perhaps to u lack of proper
management on his part and partly
owing to the non-cOncurrence of the
men with whom he has had to deal, but
now that the mill has changed hands
its success is assured. James Livingston
d Co. of Yale, have purchased the en-
tire plant from Cochrane d Story and
are taking hold of this industry with
that earnest and businesslike way which
cannot but meet the approval of the
farmers and all who wish to see our
flax industry Il success. Mr.. Alex Nc
Call who is chief manager is Il thorough
business man and q genuine hustler
and has already rented upwards of 100
acres of land for flax this season and
is loaning out seed to farmers. His
headquarters is at the Harrington
house and all farmers intending to SOW
should call early and procure seed or
make arrangements for renting land,
and when you have done so give it a
fair trial. Sow it on suitable land give
it the same care and cultivation that is
given other grain and you will be we'll
pleased with the yield and price given
by the new proprietors.-Brown City

Assessing Officers Read.

PoRT HURON, April 22nd, 1893.
To the Supervisors and other Assessing Officers
of the County OF st. Clair
GENTLEMEN,-I would like to call
your attention to decision of the
supreme court lately handed down
which decides that Act No. 200, page
II, of the public acts providing, "that
it shall be the duty of each supervisor
or assessing officer to ascertain the
taxable property of his assessment
district and the persons to whom it
should be assessed and their residen-
cess" and he shall require every per-
son of full age to make II true written
statement under oath ''of all the tax
able property of such person, town
or corporation whether owned by him
or it" is mandatory and must be COM
piled with. This decision is reported
in volume 81, page 705, North Western
Reporter and settles the law on this
question. 1t has been contended by
many attorneys that the provision re-
ferred to is merely directory because
its complete performance by Il super
visor or assessing officer was impracti-
cable. However much good sense
there may be in this view the supreme
court says II is not the lar and that it
is the duty of assessing officers to obey
the section referred to.
The statute does not require the SUI
pervisor to personally visit each person
within his district and demand the exc
cution of the affidavit; it is complied
with by mailing the blank statements
to the persons with n notice that they
must comply Herewith and to appear
before him for that purpose.
1t is our duty to obey this law as
settled by the supreme court. 1t is not
longe. open to two interpretations
The supreme court says it means must
and there is no escape. Yours truly,
