assessors and as we are levied against by the coun ty to pay a portion of his wages it is only right we use his ser vices If the local assessor Mr Ted Anderson would use the provincial manual of assessment values under direction of the county assessor our local assess ment troubles could be corrected in a period of two years If council would consider the use of appraisal forms ratepay ers would have a clear picture of what they were paying and why she said Our assessor should be able to visit every property in the township each year and it is his duty to do so I have not been able to find that he has done so but maybe ratepayers have not been informed of his visits The fact that the voters list is such a mess is proof of Mr Mogg incomplete job of reas sessment and also points to the fact that Mr Anderson has done little to correct this Mr Winch the township clerk received the blame in this instance and although I have heard words of praise for Mr Anderson I have never heard any word of this lack in fulfilling his duty The rate payers have a right to know on whom to lay the blame when cases of this kind arise If council does not show foresight and leadership in this instance and correct this situa tion they will find in the years to come that they will be faced with the necessity of another re assessment for the provincial manual will in time be made mandatory To return Jo my opening statement and to clarify my jeetion to Mr Pollocks on the nomination plat form regarding a board of as sessors I feel it is only an un necessary expense The Depart This man is a recognized auth ority on the use of the manual and his appointment has been made at the consent of the Mu nicipal Board All this expert advice is at the command of our assessor and Mr Pollock has suggested the forming of an advisory board This is a duplication of effort and expense and is entirely un necessary said Mrs Arnold Canadians Tat More Than Any Other People On The Phone That Canadians
