(Ontario Hydro Photo) Schedule On Recorded Vote 0.K. Equalized Assessment After long hours of discussion spread over several days Ont- ario County Council approved a schedule of equalized assess- ment for the year 1966 at its sitting last week. Climax to the discussion came ,late in the afternoon with a recorded vote. A few m'nutes earlier the council had been reminded that to further discussion into an- other day would cost the tax- payers $1,000. This is the cost of one day's sitting of county council. Mem- bers are paid mileage to meet- ings and a small fee for their attendance. The reminder came from Reeve Francis Hockley of Scott Township who pleaded for coun- ty council to reopen discussion on the matter to try and settle the issue. During the long discussion council made four attempts to pass an equalized schedule. On each occasion the attempt was defeated on recorded votes. Opposition to the schedule throughout the discussion was led by Reeve John Dryden of Whitby Township. He complain- ed frequently at what he called the "tremendous fluctuation" in the total assessment of his township. He was joined by several other municipalities, mainly those whose assessment would be go- tng up under the new equaliza- tion agsessmént bylaw. figures as prepared by county assessor G. D. Hepditch. Under the bylaw passed, any appeal would be heard by a county judge. Under the equalization system a landowner in the north of the county and a landowner in the south are assessed on different standards. These standards are then equalized by a factor imposed by the county assessor. In the. aprpoved schedule the total assessment for Whitby next year will be $21,189,176. Ajax will have to pay $18,277,- 051. Pickering's assessment will be $31,026,724, Whitby Town- ship, whose assessment will go up, will pay $10,421,071; East Whitby will pay $4,277,262. Earlier in the day councillors were presented with a fresh by- law which they were asked to approve for a period of three years instead of the customary single year. "This", explained Mr. Hep- ditch, "would cure the fluctua- tion problem in local assess- ment." Reeve Everett Quantrill com- plained strongly, however, that council "could not bind itself down for three years like that". On a recorded vote the bylaw was thrown out of council. __The_municipalities have the| "N . right to appeal their assessment Jam. with with. the.
