ADVANCE JUNL 1598 Kim from was Il Although he had long since passed the Barrie Local Notes ll Webb wrote threatening we CLAIMS IllRAL ASSESSMENT lNlAIR During the recent session of County Coun cil Reeve Fred Hunter thclllllrltLll said he did not feel the bests of assessment as pre sented was fairto the rural municipalities Referring particularly to taxes for the secon dary school at Alliston Mr limiter said the Town of Alliston with 31 per ccnt or the high school population would be paying only about 10 per cent of the school taxes whili the Township of Iecumscth with school popu lation approximately the satire as Allistoii lt would be paying thrce times the proportion of secondary school taxes The equalized assessmcut schedule as adop ted at the June session would scent to bear out the rcinarks of Reeve llurilcr llic eight urban municipalities with population of 44000 have total usscssmcnt of onlys$22 281000 But the 17 townships with popu lation of 38000 have total cqualizcd asscss merit of 334729000 In other words thc urban municipalities with population 00th great er have an assessment Which is 5124480110 legs Tim towns iir Simcoc County have large industrial plants many fine stores pavcd streets with sidcwalks and lighting lhc thousands or good homes llith electricity and water pumped from municipal systcms The great majority of urban homes also have wagc service and nearby schools Bill not withstanding the fact there are huge busi ness establishments in the towns and there are more homes and people in the urban centres the assessment in the townships is millions of dollars greater Whenever the subject of equalization is in troduced in the County Council Reeve Wil liam Gunningham of Alliston urges the idea of getting back to the former method of making theequalizationion the basis of pro perty transfers as recorded at the Registry Office for the previous year While he is an urban resident Mr Cunningham urgcs this plan although itwuld mean that urban as sessments would go up and rural assessments would be correspondingly lower But Reeve Evans of Bradford chairman of the Equalization Committeemnd County Assessor Eric SimpSon and others say this would not be feasible because urban sales are inflated above normal Last March c0nfcrence of assessors was held in Barrie md Gray assessment commissioner for Toronto emphasized the importance of considering the earning pow er ofproperty in makingthe assessment If the earning power was given consideration in Simcoe County then the assessment on farms and rural properties would belowereihand the assessment on certain urban properties would be increased While Mr Cunningham has strong differences with Mr Gray on cer tain aspects Of assessment it would appear they would both reach the same end in equalization for Simcoe County Eornrariy yearsthe rural residents have rifelt they were taxed proportionately higher than their urban cousins Reeve Fred Hunter started the county councillors thinking about the basis of taxation when he spoke at the June session and there is no doubt that he will investigate the matter further If he puts as much energy and study into the subject has hedid when studying the larger high school area plan the ratepayers may expect himdobrlnghrmatterbefore the county councilagain with plansfor someaction to be taken THEWL TEWWIE MASO Very unexpectedly On
