farm people and county services It was juSt about the time the Simcoe County Federation of Agri mltoaxne into being that the Qntariolegislature enacted legisfi lation to provide for county asses sors and county supervised assess ment 13121 was the year 1940 fwell remember the Georgian Bay conference of 1940 which laid the fm1ndaltion flor coondinating all agricultural organizations and all agricultural thought and eflort in this county In fact am very proud to have had small part in that work at that time In 1945 Simcoe County decided to appoint county assessor and received ithe appointment had been in fairly close touch with county equalization for the prev ious 13 years ever since first be came member of the county coun oil in 1932 believe in those years since 1932 have been more closely connected with equalization of assement athan any other per son in this county The last 10 years have shown great and significant chang$ in the growth and development of the County Federation of Agriculture in assesment thought and practice and in Sinicoe County itself Ilhere are many reasons that now place our county in the forefront of all the counties for the whole pro vince Its great area in such an ideal location its rich general farm land and its specialized areas such as the Bradford Marsh the tobacco and growing districtsthe largeur ban centres with an industrial de velopment lube extent of which is not generally known and perhaps greatest of all the rivers lakes and the Georgian Bay that has made possible for this county the greatest summer tourist develop ment of any county or distridi in the province With the division of York County by the establish ment of the Toronto Metropolitan AArea Simcoe County now leads all the countim in population and in total taxable merit This ryear the population for the whole county is over 102000 not count ing summer tourist visitors The assessment value of taxable real property year approxi mate ninetyW0 and onedhalf mil lions to which is added six mil lions of business assessment giving total taxable value of close to one hundred million dollars For the time in Simcoe Countys hisjaory the taxable value oi the urban municipalitiw exceeds that of the Due to the summgr tourist development some of ouriifbownships can no longer be considered as rural municipalities In Innisfil Township farm land is now only 32

practice in the county believe there has been more improvement in this regard within the last 10 years than there was in hhelprev ious fifity Since the enacunentt of the legislation in 1940 as mention ed abovehtihere are now 28 county assessors out of total of 38coun ties in the province county assemors work is two fold first the county assessor is now primar ily reponsible for the equalization report to be presented each year to the county council and he is also directed to advise the assessors and supervise the assessment in the local municipalitiesa In county with its seven towns and lGtownships you must agree that this is big order Following my appointment as county assessor plan was set up to revalue the entire county mun icipality by municipality using uniformsystem of appraisal in all municipalities having regard of course to location and local condi tions so that an equitable and equalized assessment for the entire This plan was put into operation for the first time in few municipalities in the year 1946 Since then 26 of our 32 municipalities have been complete ly revalued under this system un der whichtaxes have been levied and in some cases forseveral years In the main where the work was carefully and conscientiously car ried out the results have been sat isfactory In the year 1950 the Department of Municipal Affairs for the pro vince introduced for assessment which radically changed the system or method by which property had been general lyvalued in the past The HEW idea in this method of assessment is that two values must be deter mined for each property phy sicalor replacement value is add ed to capitalized rental or econ omic value and theaverage of the two is taken to be the value of the property or assessment purposes In some respects this method is better approach tovalue than our present county system but its ap plication to the threemunicipab ities in the county that have now been revalued under it has not resulted in equity or uniformity as between municipalities While this is the case beliéve proper supervision and coordinamion of this system in various municipal ities would result in entirely equitable equalized values Ilhe introduction of nhis new manual at the time and manner it was introduced to this county has made the equalization of all the municipalities for coun ty purposes somewhat more dififi cth In spite of all lahis the meth ods of assessment have shown great improvement and valuations plac ed on property are much moxc equitable than in the past This fiarm property and the share of the m1 taxuoll that fanm property in municipality must bear very great many of the inequities that existed before the assessor had any appraisal system of his own or had any supervision have been wiped out The famers actual messed value has not been lower ed but the raising of other types of properby some in many cases tram ridiculously low levels to proper level ocf value in relation to farm property has meant con siderable relief for the farm tax payer It is true of course that increased municipal costs have not allowed taxes to be lowered but had the former relationship of val ues been allowed to continue un til the present time the inequities would be all the more apparent to day couniy assessor is simply an adviser and an inspector Just as Your school systems our road sys tems our municipal finances the construction of buildings etc re quire inspectors and auditors so there must be supervision and dir MAGNEro Is the Heart on Your Tractor we advise you to detach and nnmcf IT IN
