He described the "'intellec- tually honest'? person as_ the cne who will admit he does not know something and then de- termines to find out. "Children must learn to de- clare what they don't know. Teachers must develop this. cur- iosity by constantly repeating the questions: What do you think? Why do you think so?" Dr. Stauffer said that the reader must balance his exper- ience and his knowledge against that of the author, and te that degree: the reader can be a critical reader. "The reading - thinking method must be stressed and children must be_ properly they will be- come good reading detectives who will examine the evi- dence," he said.

Hall Ruling Is Reversed By RON DEVANEY (Staff Reporter) Ontario Supreme Court Just- ice R. I, Ferguson has ruled that Oshawa Shopping Centre tenants are not liable for busi- ness assessments on parking lot lands. In a 31-page judgment nand- ed down late last month, Mr, Justice Ferguson reversed the ruling of Ontario. County Court Judge Alex Hall. Judge Hall, in October, 1962,|) dismissed an appeal by T. Ea- ton Company Limited. Also ap- pealing were: Loblaw Groce- teria Company Limited, S. S Kresge Company Limited and Fairweather Company Limited Sitting "persona designata", Judge Hall in his decision said the city Assessment Commis- sioner had applied a reason- able yardstick. (Following the 1960-61, city- wide reassessment by J. P. Coombe and Associates, the city adopted this formula as a basis for determining business tax on the shopping centre parking lot: 1) the ratio of the store's assessed value to total assess- ment of all buildings in the cen- tre was found; 2) this percen- tage figure was divided into the total assessed value of all lands; 3) the resulting figure was cut in half). He has viewed parking in a panoramic sense . . . has come to the conclusion that the appel- lant will actually use a part of the parking lot according to the formula set out, '*...has not assessed for part of the whole parking area; rather, he has computed the business assessment of each tenant by reference to the value of the land used by him (ten- nant) which...happens to be a parking area." Mr, Justice Ferguson wrote that he was, "at a loss to under- stand the application of a 'pan- oramic sense' to this problem, or the bearing of the 'funda- mental basis of atomic physics' in the search for a yardstick to measure the assessed land used by the stores or their customers. The statute does not provide for such yardsticks. "the method of assessing... is not authorized by the Act. It is a matter to be decided on the wording of the Statute." NO AUTHORITY The companies are granted a right to make use of all parking areas, wrote Justice Ferguson. "This grant is a licence not, 'to use the parking area pro- vided' (Hall) but to use all parking areas. **..there is no authority under' Sec. 9 (1) or 9 (1) (f) to add 'a certain value for the lands used as parking space' as Judge Hall states the assessor did. "the fact is the assessor set himself up as a Legislature and has made an assessment in ac- cord with what, in his view, the business assessment should be." (Section Nine of the Assess- ment Act sets out the right to assess for business assessment). Referring to the Loblaw lease (all four appeals were entered on the same argument) Mr. Justice Ferguson wrote. ". . . it will be seen that the landlord has not leased the Bound Over To Keep Peace James Ferjo, 76 Harris court, was bound over to keep the peace for a year in Oshawa Magistrate's Court, Friday, parking lot or any part of it to laws ...

Section 9 the occupier or user is assessable in respect of the land he occus pies or uses, The Act gives the assessor the yardstick he must use in fixing the amount of the business assessment -- to be 50 per cent of the assessed value of the land. "When a person carried on business on the land of which he is the owner or tenant, the right to assess the land. .'. is cvear. ". .. (OSC) tenants have no title to lands, but a mere li- cence in respect of the property or a right of way." ALL EXERCISE Mr. Justice Ferguson came to the conclusion, that ".. be- tween the landlord and each of the applicants; there is no con- trol on the part of the landiord reserved in the lease which would be inconsistent with the tenants' enjoyment of the park- ing lot... "If the Loblaw company were the only tenant, it would be clear the company was an occu+ pier and user ... and so as- sessable, But . . . each tenant's rights ... are all exercised in common with other tenants who have the same rights ... makes the occupation and use by each lacking in that essen- tial control . . . to bring any of them within the meaning of oc- cupier or user as used in the Assessment Act. Continued Mr, Justice Fergu+ son: "The assessment commis sioner has sought to read inte the Statute a power to assess @ proportion of the lot against the tenant, "In my opinion, power can be implied, "T think .. , the assessor has recognized the absurdity and ine justice of attempting to apply Section 9 (1) (f) to the tenant's position ... and that he has attempted to rationalize it. "He is, in my opinion, doing something the. Statute does not authorize -- assessment in gen+ eral terms. It (the Act) lays down a method. That method cannot be made to fit the cir cumstances." Judgment Reserved Magistrate F. S, Ebbs, Fri- day, reserved judgment until March 22 on Gordon Raymond Kemp, 131 Albert street. Kemp is charged with contri- buting to juvenile delinquency involving a 15-year-old girl. He pleaded not guilty to the charge. Evidence presented was Kemp, accompanied by a friend brought the girl to his apart- ment, gave her liquor to drink and molested her. The girl said she had told Kemp her age, six months ago. She said she had been "going out" with the accused for a year, but did not learn he was married until after the offence. Kemp in previous testimony had told the court he did not know the girl was only 15.
