Mr. MOTHERWELL:
No, just two-thirds.
Mr. ORERAR:
That is the point my hon. friend asked about.
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
There is no change. The last three lines of the resolution explain the provision:
-and in lieu thereof to re-enact the said subsection with the same rates of valuation for compensation but without the said limitation as to operation.
Mr. LADNER:
Are those fixed valuations
or percentages in the act? Does the act specify so much for one kind of animal?
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
Yes.
Mr. LADNER:
That it shall be two-thirds of the market value of that animal?
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
Yes: Horses, sheep, cattle and swine.
Mr. LADNER:
But does the legislation
now continued specify the exact price in dollars and cents given for a certain animal or class of animal?
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
No.
Mr. LADNER:
Or a certain percentage?
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
The act provides
for a maximum for each animal, and whether it gets the maximum dependis upon the animal. The top-notch animals will get the maximum and others in proportion.
Mr. MEIGHEN:
If I have it correctly,
the old act provided two-thirds valuation, and it provided a maximum for a thoroughbred and a maximum for the non-thoroughbred, and those were $250 and $150, were they not?
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
It was $150 for pure bred and $60 for grade.
Mr. MEIGHEN:
But under the old act?
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
Yes, $250 and $80.
Mr. MEIGHEN:
The amendment, which
was a temporary amendment for three years, changed the $250 and $80 maximum to $150 and $60 respectively.
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
It was changed
twice.
Mr. MEIGHEN:
I am surprised it was not. changed oftener. The purpose of this amendment is to maintain the $150 and $60 maximum?
Mr. MOTHERWELL:
Yes.
Mr. MEIGHEN:
But to make the legislation permanent?
