JULY 18, 1890.

An important Judgment.

in the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court at ; Summerside a few days ago, Judge Kelly irendered judgn.ent in respect to the appewls of the Merchants Bank of Halifax and the Bank of Nova Scotia from the town assess- ‘ment. The Stipendiary Magistrate, Mr. |M-Quarrie, being interested, could not hear them. The grounds of these appeals, as welias the facts and arguments against them, will be learned by a perusal of Judge Kelly’s decision, which we now publish. It - right to add that the Banks have ap- pealed from Judge Kelly to the Supreiae Court :

In the Stipendiary “Magistrate’s Court, Town of Summerside.—The Merchants’ Bauk of Halifax, appellants, and the Town of Sum- merside, respondents.

The Bank of Nova Scotia, appellants, and 7 town of Summerside, respondents.—An appeal from town assessment.

‘These are two appeals taken from the

assessment made on the personal property of ihe appellants by the respondents’ »ssessors for the year ending 3lst of Avgust, 1889.

The question in issue turns upon tue con- struction of sections 77, 78 and 79 of ‘The Summerside Incorporation Act, 1886,” chap- ter 11, and upon the affidavits fied by whe appellants, purporting to furnish tor the iu- formation of the town assessois (he necessary statement of the appellants’ income or profits during the year in dispute.

By sectian 76, personal property within the town is liable to taxation for civic purp ses; and section 76 defines the expression “personal property” to ivelude, inter alia, stocks in

in the town. If read alone and independently of section 78, section 77 would render the two appellant corporations liable to be rated and

ital stock, whether remunerative or otherwise, fur they certainly are ‘‘dvuing business within the town;” but ths would be unjust, and therefore section 78 provides that such insti- tutioas shall be taxed upon part onty of their actual capital, and thst such part shall be as- certained by rating them “‘as if holding $100 of property for every $5 annual net income or pro- tit derived from their business.” If the statute in question had gone no further in prescribing the mode of procedure in rating corporations, the duty of the respondents’ assessors would simply be to value the net income themselves according to their means of knowledge, just as they would in regard to the taxable property of all private individuals, andif the banks should S dissatisfied they could appeal like ordinary or common people. *‘ Oaly this and nothing more.” But under section 78, banks aud other joint stock conipani¢s are, in effect, their own valuators and assessors, Ia this

all other ratepayers. This privilege was, most probably, conferred upon them in order to relieve them from the periodical visita of the assessors, whose interrogations might be

tive or impertivent. ‘Lo prevent assessors from attempting to become familiar with managers or agents, even in country towns, the legisiatnre makes an exception in favor of the banks by constituting them their own valuators of the corporate persona! property ; but in order to enjoy this privilege—this ex- ception to a general rule—it is provited that the banks must comply clearly aud p.ecisely with all the requirements which the statute imposes as conditions precedent to the right- ful enjoyment of this privilege.

The affidavit required by section 78, to be

must contain *‘ a precise statement of the an- nua] net income derived from their business within the town during the year.” ‘The effi- davits on file, and upon which the appellants rely, start with an allegation specitying the total amount of ‘direct profit "—an expres- sion not found in the statute itself, and ob- viously suggestive of more than ove class or source of p olits. The authors of these affi- davits would appear to think that banks shou!d psy only on one class of profits, name- ly, direct profits. As tar as these affidavits proceed, they may be quite true ; but they certainly depart from the words of the Act. To hold that the statute has been compiied with, it would follow that the words, ** net annual income or piofi 8,” #3: found ia the law, are precisely identical with the phrase ‘‘direct profits,” introduced into the affidavits. Por such a proposition I am unable to find any authority; and the expression ‘“‘ direct {| profits,” as before intimated, undoubtedly im- ‘plies in the minds of the bank agents here the ‘existence of at least two classes of profits-- | indirect as well as direct; and the former jmay be as highly appreciated by the stock- ‘holders as the latter ; whereas ‘‘ pet income or “profits” unquestionably comprehend all the |earnings of whatever class in excess of charges ‘and disbursements. | Appeilants’ counsel have strongly contend- ‘ed that inasmuch as the statute under review _is a taxing one, a construction most favor ble ‘to the appeilants shouid be given; but it should ‘be remembered that section 78, which we are considering, is really an enactment beneficial to the Banks, and, therefore, in seeking to |avail themselves of this provision, they must and avoid the ‘use of vague or evasive language. 1 observe that the affidavits made and filed by the re- spective agents of the appellant corporations are identical in phraseology, mutatis mutandts.

“« Bach lends to each a double charm,

Like pearls on the Ethiope’s arm.”

The last paragraph in each, though not re- quired at all by the act, is, evidently, intena- ed as an explanation of the preceding one, as if the deponent therein, en turtoer reflection, peceeived che ineuificiency of the maia alle tion; but ia realty, if this last paragraph we intended to explain or ampiriy the preceding oue, it conid scarcely be coucned La less ap propriate teims. : :

A resident agent in cuarge of aad respon- sible for the whole mauagemeat of a bank.ne house, must surely be prep»red to speak i definite language when prof ssing to furnish

under his daily supervision; tut in these + ffi davita we fisd each agent literally adopt.ng the form and expressions of the other, end using such words 43 imply mere mutter of de lief or suspicion that in arriving at the belar.ce strack, they fuliowed the course that ‘tb commen api alluwable in similar iuativa

No oral testimony was given | at the trial. ; According to my view of the sections of “he statute in quesion, I think both appelle ts have failed te comply with the requireme ts | of the law, converning the making end fi) og of proper affidavits, and that, consequen: y, the respondents’ assessors properly igno ed , those documents as a guide to their Juric: As both appeals are taken on the ss —- I dismiss each, and under eecction aliow cos's to the respondents.
