In most municipalities, councils have opted to introduce equalized assessment this year, and the notices reflect these new figures. Equalized assessment is calculated by ap- plying a factor to the 1975 market value of a property. These factors differ in each municipality, and ac- cording to five classes (Residential, Multi-res- idential, Commercial, Industrial and Farm).

Hodgins' house burned early last Sunday morning, leaving the family homeless and emotionally drained through the tragic death of their 12-year-old son, Edward. To help them get back on their feet, the Waubaushene Inter- town Bowling League will be holding a bowl-a- thon that started Monday and will con- tinue until Jan. 26. The league bowls Monday nights at the Coldwater Bowling Lanes in Coldwater, Ont. If you are interested in helping the Hodgins' family in rebuilding their home, just contact John MacKay at 686- 3321 or Bob Hook at 538- 2208 to sponsor a bowler in this worthwhile display of human kind- ness.

The highway was blocked for two and a half hours after a tractor-trailer struck the rear of the towed bus and knocked it forward into the rear of the first bus. Location of the accident was just north of * Muskoka Road 5. Estimated total damage is $35,000. Charges are pending, police said yesterday. In the township of Tiny, these factors are as follows: Residential 0.05412 per cent, Multi- Residential 0.09456 per cent, Commercial 0.09055 per cent, Industrial 0.07921 per cent, and Farm 0.07191 per cent. Residents of Tiny township who have questions concerning their assessment notices may take ad- vantage of open houses held by the Regional Assessment Office at The Place in Perkin- sfield. Representatives from the office will be on hand on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week from 1 p.m. to 9p.m., and on Saturday, Jan. 17 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the senior citizen community centre on the Balm Beach Road one mile west of Perkinsfield. If an error. in assessment can be proved before Jan. 27, property owners may be able to obtain an amendment fo their notice. Equalized assessment was introduced in order to update the value at which properties are assessed for tax pur- poses. In , some municipalities outdated property values have been in use for several decades. : It is felt by most municipal councils that the new equalization will mean a-more fair assessment for property owners as reflected in their taxes.
