By nos We were present at tho Ontarioi Convention during the discussions on rural assessments It was plCl sure to see Eric Simpson Simcoc County assessor among those whol had taken hand in preparinglhcl report The discussions were livei ly and interesting and in most can cs those offering suggestions dealt with comparisons between farm asscssmcnt and those of urban pro pcrtics Education costs were blamed for the largest proportion of the tax costs The report of the Assessment Committee mentions such items as complimenting the Department of Municipal Affairs for an attempt to bring some kind of order to very confused taxation structure They felt that the county assessor sys tem provided the greatest hope thus far for truly equitable basis of taxation Basis Of Land Valuation In the development of any sys tem for taxation if real property so that taxation may be spread as on iformly as possible they were of the opinion that the soil should be given the first consideration that is its productivity It would seem desirable that all soils should be classified as to value by soils ex perts through an exhaustive sur vey It was also felt that Section 39 of the Act should be amended by an addition of section treating farm lands as separate classifica tion for assessing In establishing any new oasis for the assessment of land care should be taken to ensure that owners of farm lands are not penalized be cause of improvements made Improved Assessors Manual An improved assessors manual is welcomed It is unfortunate however the committee stated that certain aspects fell short of the ideal Particular attention was called to that part dealing with the appli cation of the rental factor which as now understood leaves too much to the discretion of the assesor It has been observed that each as sessor is now using his own method of applying the rental factor and the dsired uniformity of assess ments as between municipalities in not being achieved It is felt that much would be gained if the mam ual could be made more explicit in this regard Traln Assessors Assessors should have pro fessional status and be trained and refresher courses should be insti tuted so they might carry out their duties accurately and efficiently technical and practical knowledge of soils and rurallife should be prime requirement of rural as sessors County Courts of Revision Recommended That the setting up of county courts of revision as detailed by the Act under Section 66be en acted throughout the counties yvas recommended More Publicity Needed It was recommended that broad public relations project be insti tuted to keep the public informed on the whole program of property assessment The local and county assessors should assume the burden of such project it was felt Educntlon Costs Because of the tremendous bur den on rural municipalities dub to the need forcxpansion of pres ent educational facllltles kit was strongly recouunended that the full costof all new school buildingsbe borne by theprovlnclal andor the federal governments It was Ialao strongly recommended that in the planning and building all new schools great care should be ex ercised to provide only those facil ap Assessment ls Feature 0t Ontario Convention Talks lial to cducation leaving tion csscntials until such time as their inclusion is warranted by sol slantial reduction in building and other costs Soolal Services It was felt that tho cusls of all social services should be spreadl over wider area so that all who benefit therefrom should contribute on more equitable basis Hydro Rates Should Not Be Increased The committee expressed concorn over the increase in rural hydro rates They expressed the opinion that rural rates have been propor tionately higher than the rates of urban districts With the drastic decline in farm income no increase should be made unless absolutely necessary The Committee continued their report with recommendations re garding coarse grains workmcus compensation the Dairy Act rcc ommendation for coopcrativc de partment better sanitation at Stockyards and appreciation of the setting up of committee to advrsc on the Ontario Agricultural Col loge In conclusion they offered the Government wholchcartcd cooper ation in implementing any of the requests made We feel certain that the govern ment will join with us in attempt ing to place agriculture on satis factory levcl of productivity and income in order that we may meet our responsibility of producing ade quatefood for all they concluded International News Review Continued from page eight seems
