There will be high-fashion polka dots, gay stripes, small gold-printed de- signs and intriguing novelty fab- rics in prints and weaves. Puck- ered fabrics will also be obtain- able in a great variety of colours and textures. This year, for -the first time some stores will be carrying per- manently-pleated tricot for home- sewers who make thelr own lin- gerie. Plain tricot in both 15 denier and the heavier 30 denier will also be featured. : For bridal gowns and formal wear there will be filmy nylon net and heavy nylon marquesette for home-sewn c¢rinolines.

French or felled seams will prevent this or edges can be overcast by hand. Pinkng raw edges is a suitable finish only for bias cut seams.

April 24th to attend to learn the true The History of Assessment and Municipal Taxes in Ontario The Third in a series on Taxation. If we live in a municipality in Southern Ontario which is part of a county set-up for adminis- tration purposes, we are charged on our local tax bills for such items as County Rates, High School Districts, Township School Areas, ete, If we live in a mu- nicipality in Northern Ontario, we are sometimes charged for the last two items and in addition for the maintainance of the District Home for the Aged. Now the amount we pay for these things is based on the as- sessment of our property. The total assessment of our municipal- ity is supposed to be equalized with the assessment of the other municipalities which share such services as roads, schools, health units, ete¢., with us. In other words, if our municipality is assessing for 100% of the value of the prop- erty, and the other municipalities are only assessing for 609% or 80% of the value of their prop- erty, we are going to pay too high taxes as our share of the cost of providing these services. In an endeavour to equalize such charges which are based on assessment, the assessment is equalized among the different mu- nicipalities by the county, district or school authorities. Appoint Valuators Prior to an amendment to the Assessment Act in 1943, if the county council could not arrive at a proper equalization of assess- ment themselves, they were re- quired to appoint valuators every five years to value of 59 to 8% of the properties in each munici- pality.. These values were then reduced to a common ratio e.g. 50% of value and this determined the equalization of assessment for county rates or school pur- poses where such school areas covered more than one munici- pality or parts of more than one municipality. This system did not prove sat- isfactory as the municipalities operated on different methods of valuation generally on a "guess" method and the percentage val- ued was only a small fraction of the total number of properties and therefore in many instances quite misleading. To overcome this and to insti- tute a standard system of valua- tion in the county, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in 1943 made the first appointment of a County Assessor under the authority of the 1940 legislation. Since that time, 26 other County Assessors have been appointed, two of them commenc- ing their duties this year. This leaves 12 counties which have not as yet made appoint- ments. While legislation' was enacted in 1960 to permit the mu- nicipalities which comprise the Territorial Districts in Northern Ontario to pass by-laws request-. ing the appointment of District Assessors, so far no appointments have been made. Duties of Assessor The duties of a County Assess- or are to supervise the work of the various assessors in his county and to standarize the methods of preparation of the assessment rolls. He makes a report by June 1st of each year to his County Council and this report forms the basis of the equalization of assess- ment as set by that council. This report is of necessity only the basis and may be amended in any way or rejected. Part of the figures shown in the report are taken from the assessment rolls prepared by the municipal asses- ors in the previous year and thé recommended figures for the pur- pose of equalization may have little or no similarity to the local assessors' totals. While the county council prepare their equalization by-law immediately following the County Assessor's report, the county rates or levies based on these figures do not appear in the local tax bills until the following vear. A lapse of two years is thus found between the time your local assessor visits your property and the time you pay county rates based on such assessment. Re-Assessment A Chore It is found that the County As- dessor requires from three to five years to complete his work of re- assessment in a county. This period is determined by the num- ber of municipalities in the county and the co-operation given by the local municipalities. The weakness of the county assessment system being the highest form of supervised assess- ment, lies in the fact that high school districts - and township school areas overlap in many cases into adjoining counties with dif- ferent methods of valuations. Possibly--the=solution is supervi- sion by the Provincial Govern- ment in an endéavour to institute a common basis of valuation and assessment. (In the next article you will be told of the provisions of the As- sessment Act which govern the basis of your-own assessment).
