C1â€"9â€"28KC ~"That/whereas the municipalities in which mining is the chief industry, are faced with the difficulties of providing school and general facilities for a very rapidly increasing population, and whereas the real property liable to asâ€" sessment is small compared to the population, . therefore be it resolved that the Ontario Municipal Association express its appreciation of the peculiar. conditions in the municipalities conâ€" cerned, and further endorse and support such alterations and amendments to th# Assessment Act and the Munici#al Act, as. will afford financial relief to the said municipalities." The delegates from the North in atâ€" tendance in this connection included Reeve Gallagher and F. C. Evans, clerk of Tisdale; Mayor °E. L. Longmore, Timmins, Reeve R. J. Carter, Teck Township; A. P. Tyrwhitt clerk of Bucke Township, and Mayor Frank Lendrum, Cobalt. gard to®"taxes and assessment and the evident injustice under which they sufâ€" fer at present. After Reeve Gallagâ€" her‘s address there was a general disâ€" cussion) and the association appeared fully Cconvinced of the fairness and logic of the case as presented by Mr. Gallagher. The matter was referred to a committee to .draft a resolution in the matter. This resolution,. when drafted, suggested ‘that legislation should be sought at the next session of The resolution, which was passed by the Ontario Municipal Association, was moved by C. V. Galagher, reeve of Tisâ€" dale, and seconded by Frank Lendrum, mayor of Cobalt, and was as follows:â€" The: address by Mr. Gallagher made a very decided impression on the Onâ€" tario Municipal Association, according to all the press and other reports from ‘Toronto. The matter developed from meetings called originally by Mayor Lendrum, of Cobalt, who urged the various municipalities of the North to gather and discuss the problem. Meetâ€" ings of representatives of the North Land municipalities were held at Kirkâ€" land Lake this‘ year and the question was discussed then from different viewâ€" points. There was general agreement that the assessment act as it applied to mineés and municipalitiee that had mines within their borders was .not equitable and did not give the muniâ€" cipalitiee concerned fair show. Arâ€" rangements were made for the North Land municipalities to have a place on the programme of the Ontario Muniâ€" cipa Association convention so ‘that the case could be fully presented. Mr. C. V. Gallagher, was chosen as the man to present the case and very evidently he made a thoroughly good job of it. It is likely that another meeting of the North Land municipal representatives will be held in the near future, proâ€" bably at Kirkland Lake, to make plans to carry the.case for the mining muniâ€" cipalities to the provincial government, so that the premier and members of his cabinet may be familiar with â€" viewpoint of the municipalities when the matter comes before the legislation. Elsewhere in this issue The Advance gives the report of the session of, the Ontario Municipal Association as pubâ€" lished in The Toronto Star. To this may be added the report of the proâ€" ceedings by another press corresponâ€" dent. In this latter report Mr. Galâ€" lagher was quoted as saying:â€"‘"Minâ€" ing companies escape taxation at the the legisiature by way of amendment to the Ontario Assessment Act. ; ~ ALWAYS FRESH COhocolate Covered Knh Phone 423 "Tisdale, with a debenture debt of $794,284, gets $29,158 in mining tax, and from 1924 to 1928 our tax rate has run. 57.5 mills.. In one school section is was up to 85 mills. Hollinger mine is now part of Timmins, but the MciIntyre plant has been assessed at $285,026, of which we could levy on only $148,000, and the Dome was assessed in 1920, ‘ when we went to the Ba.flwa.y Board, at $772 003, while we can asses only on |$303 000. Out of $170,000 payable to 'the government from Hollinger, Timâ€" ;mins gets only $35, 000 income. â€" amendments in relation to school asâ€" sessment was adopted and sent on to the resolution committee. Tisdale Township, . Reeve Gallagher said, : alâ€" though only six square miles. in area, ‘contains three of the largest golid mines in America. The town of Timmins is a corner thereof. â€" He recalled enactâ€" ment of 1907 permitting municipal asâ€" sessment of three per. ‘cent, on mining profits above $10,000 and that of 1910, under which bulidings, plant and machinery used mainly for mining and milling operation_ was made nonâ€"asâ€" sessable and redflcing tax payable to local municipalities to 10 mills on the dollar, to be deducted from profits tax payable to the Government. "All other industries," he continued, "are required to pay full municipal taxes, whether making profits or not, and no mining town can hope to proâ€" vide necessary public services for. its inhabitants and protect the great mining plants unless the latter pay their proper proportion of taxes. By substituting a 10 mill income tax, the legislature restricted municipalities to small part of what they were entitied to and municipalities of New Ontario find it difficult to undérstand why it was necessary, on behalf of companies payâ€" ing millions in profits. ~‘The municiâ€" palities think the government should be just before it is generous. "The impression of some members of the legislature seems to be that the government is granting a special conâ€" cession ;o municipalities in giving a portion of mining taxes; whereas it is giving only a portion of what it should be. It should be remembered that T. and N. 0. railway lands and buildings are nonâ€"assessable, and that oneâ€"quarâ€" ter of town lots laid out are held as crown lands, nonâ€"assessable until sold. We believe that the development of Northern Ontario in all respects should be â€"encouraged to the extreme limit by the people of Old Ontario, whose heriâ€" tage it is, and we request the Municiâ€" pal Association to assist us in securing the necessary legislation to take: the burden from the shoulders of the peoâ€" ple who, by industry and effort, are deâ€" veloping the resources of this heritage for the benefit of all, andâ€"place it on the, shoulders of those who should bear the burden." Mayor Longmore, of Timmins the report continued pointed out that the tax rate in North Land municipalities does. not tell the whole story because the town@and townships are also comâ€" pelled by their requirements to make what is practically a 100 per cent asâ€" sessment as well as a comparatively high rate. "It is the local municipaliâ€" ties that are encouraging mining.not the provincial government in‘ this parâ€" ticular,‘‘ Mr. Longmere is quoted as May or Lendrum, of Cobalt, mentionâ€" ed that mining properties within the bounds of Cobalt contributed only $1,100 to public school support and less than $900 to the separate schools. The whole. north of Cobalt. is on the Niâ€": pissing property, Mayorâ€"Lendrum said, and residents pay both bothâ€"ground rentals and taxes to the company. _ Asked by aâ€"delegate from Guelph if theâ€" government guaranteeing of muhniâ€" cipal bonds would help, Reeve Gallagâ€" her replied:â€"*"Undoubtedly it would. They take care of school debentures that way.~ Of course, the government would be in a predicament as it woulc have established a precedent,.
