WHITBY And DISTRICT Equalization Is Set Over Ontario County Council will FBYPA Hold Meeting At Church To June And whereas such fixed as- ts are pt from pay- meet in June to set an eq assessment for the year, A pro- posed table of equalized assess- ment was placed in council's hands at a meeting in Whitby on Thursday to be studied prior to the meeting in June, The assessment committee, chaired by Reeve Everett Quan- trill, of Whitby, recommended that the report of the County Assessor, Gordon Hepditch, be studied before any discussion took place. The committee, however, in the same report, endorsed two re- solutions which had been submit- ted by other municipalities for their consideration. One dealt with a change in the Municipal Act which would make industries with a fixed assessment liable to all county levies. The other dealt with a resolution regarding annexation, The two resolutions follow: "That the resolution as set {orth below from the County of Renfrew Is hereby recom- mended for endorsation by Coun- cf 1. "Whereas, under the present legislation a local municipality can grant a fixed assessment to ing county rates, except as pro- vided in Section 309 of the Muni- cipal Act. And whereas the ratepayers of the County as a whole, do not have any vote with respect to granting a fixed assessment. And whereas under the pres- ent system all municipalities in the county are subsidizing fixed assessments in respect of county rates, Be it hereby resolved that Sec- On Tuesday evening the young le of Faith Baptist Church eld their weekly meeting, Due to the rain, the group remained at the church instead of going on a wiener roast, A few games were played and Barry Jones led in a singsong and d the meeting in pray- er, The offering was received and the speakers for the evening were Ted Molyneaux, who spoke on Less Than 15 Per Cent Crop In Members of Ontario County Council, at a meeting in Whitby on Thursday, were told that less than 15 per cent of the 1960 crop has been planted because of the unusually wet season, Lynn Fair, the county's agriculture repre- sentative, said that last year by this time all spring seeding had been completed. He said that of the crop already in the ground, 'quite a bit of that came up patchy, Some of th early seeding will have to be re- seeded." well nor appear so green after the snow had left. However, he said, the ensuing rains had flood- ed large sections of the fall wheat crop which are now turning yel- low and the yield could not pos- ed earlier in the spring. Hay and pasture fields, he sald, are also turning yellow because of the excessive amount of molis- ture, As a result, he said, the quality of the crop will be low. "At the present time," he said, "the situation does not look very bright, We all know that every day without seed in the ground is a further loss in yield." WHITBY His estimate that less than 15 per cent of the crop had been planted also applied to potatoes he said.

Reeve Anson Gerrow, of Scu- gog Twp., reported to the Ontario County Council on Thursday that he had found it necessary to call on the Port Perry reeve's serv- ices to get to the meeting, He said that on Wednesday, highway workers had filled holes in the causeway on Highway 7A with gravel but on Thursday morning, the loose gravel coupled with high water over the road, made pas- sage impossible. He called Reeve Gibson who sped to the island in his cata. maran and brought the Scugog reeve to the mainland. Some weeks ago, Reeve Gibson first brought his boat into serv- ice to ferry islanders scross from Port Perry to the island as they came home from work in Osh- awa for the weekend.
