12 ~ PORT PERRY STAR, Thursday, June 2nd, 1966 Centennial Report 186711 196 REPORT NO. 8 The tax collector in the com-' munity might not like what I have to say but one often hears about owners neglecting to im- prove properties for fear of in- 'creased municipal taxes, The argument goes something like this: "If I fix up the place the assessor will be around and up will go my taxes next year." Not necessarily so, Here is a list of things yon can do outside at your house without 'increasing your muni- cipal taxes. (The 'list varies with municipalities so you should check the local municipal clerk's office for confirmation): Remove open verandah. Repair steps and porches. Repaint woodwork. 'Paint. and repair existing Masonry. New roof. Repair guters & downspouts. Weather stripping and storm doors, Lawns and landscaping, Outdoor lights. Repairing or replacing priv- ate walks. New fences or retaining walls, Awnings or shutters. Garbage and rubbish econ- tainers, If you do any of the things listed above you will tie in with the Centennial Commission's national program aimed at a- chieving a coast-to-coast com- munity face-lifting for 1967. Our' Community Improvement and Beautification Program in- cludes everyone from John Smith at 1 Maple Street to the biggest industry in town, There are no carrots in- the form of grants-in-aid with this program. It is simply one of advice, en- by JOHN W. FISHER CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER couragement and practical in- formation. For the Community Improve- ment, and Beautification Pro- gram the Centennial Commis- sion held a "Call to Action" se- minar at Ottawa on April 22 at which 250 mayors, reeves, fed- eral, provincial and community association representatives and businessmen got together to devise ways of implementing the plan. ' Your 'local civie "officials. should be 'able. to. tell you 'about 'the details of Community Tm= provement and Beautification. Very soon they will have re- ceived our various "how-to-do- it" manuals -- on everything from paint-up plans, what to do abort trees in towns and on private properties, how to plant, how to orgaiiize rural clean-ups, lighting, boulevar ds, renovations and so on. +1 see by the papers that the "program already is catching on well, The City of Ottawa, for example, is sending out, with the water bills, a list of tax- exempt improvements property owners can make. Local pub- licity programs are already be- ing conducted by editors to en- courage clean-up and beautifi- cation, Of course there are many communities which have set good examples in programs like this long before the Centennial Commission started its program and its likely that they have not received the credit they deserve. We are simply asking all Cana- dians to do: the same :thing to help make the "civilized" parts of Canada as beautiful as our vast natural surroundings -- mountains, lakes and forests-- beyond the cities and towns.
