urges division of twp olofion id assessment problem the continued assessment un rest within the township of pickering has brought a re newed wave of suggestion from many rural farm residents that the only solution to the prob lem lies in a split of the muni cipality several months ago the council agreed to delve into the economics of such a move but to date no report of the official findings of this body has been revealed the tribune received a letter this week from mr hugh j miller cone 7 pickering that deals rather directly with the matter it reads as follows claremont rr 2 editor the tribune stouffville ont dear jim the news item concerning tlte appeals against the court of revision settlement of the pick ering township farmers assess ment case which appeared on the front page of last weeks tribune seemed to give the impression that the farmers had received favourable treat ment as compared to the house holders ed note such a sug gestion was not intended by the writer this is not so the settlement was reached at a conference of representatives of the farmers organization and township offi cials on april 10th at a ses sion of the court of revision it was agreed to by the assess ment commissioner mr gaus iin and by the township legal adviser mr elliott and unani mously approved by all five i members of the revision court the reasons for this general approval of the settlement are quite obvious in 1060 mr gauslin has stated that he in creased the assessment of all householders and lotowners these raises amounted from m0o0 to 18000 each before the court of revision mr gauslin said that he used sale prices to support his assess ments if tin average village or urban house with plumbing and central heating sells for ton to twelve thousand dollars and the average 100 acre farm with buildings and fences in fair re pair and the land in a good state of cultivation sells to bona fide farmers at from 20 lo 23000 then the raise in assessment due to the farmers in all fairness should be s280 to 360 this is below the amount in most cases of the raise unanimously decided upon by the court of revision when it is realized that the farmer neither wants nor needs the ex pensive services such a paved roads street sidewalks sew ers watermains street lights garbage collection police wel fare etc demanded by the ur ban sections of the township and which exclusive of educa tion are the chief cause of high taxes then the court of revi sion settlement was more than fair to the householder we feel that the appeal against the coutt of revision decision was lanuched because of ignorance of the facts and a minnderstanding of the situ ation of the farmers in picker ing township it also displays i a complete ignorance of the two price levels of farm land which the law for many years has recognized i 1 i high price for subdividing 2 low price for growing farm crops we feel that if the assess ment problem is to turn into an annual battle between urban and rural residents the only jolution would be to divide the township this procedure w carried out in 1921 when north york township was formed from the rural part of york j and loud and long were the wails of overtaxation emitted by the residents of urban york township when they had t pay the full cost of services and their upkeep and administra tion respectfully yours hugh j miller
