shortage on farms a problem york county milk producers elect executive reject farmers appeal for tax exemption king township farmers will not be granted certain tax exemptions council voted unanimously feb 2 to reject the appeal made by king township federa tion of agriculture pre sented earlier in the month the farmers asked that lands assessed as agricul tural property be exempt from municipal costs such as police and fire protec tion snowplowing sand ing and grading their proposal indicat ed that the house other buildings and five acres of the farm property might be taxable to cover muni cipal services making each property comparable to urban properties in taxes paid carl boynton federation president douglas hutch- ins and j m langdon addressed council concern ing their brief supported by a large delegation three chief reasons why council has decided not to pass such a bylaw and summarized in a formal statement accepted by members of council are we feel that it is very important that the assess ment of agricultural land be settled with the depart ment of agriculture and department of municipal affairs before any such action be taken other rural muncipali- ties have not seen fit to pass such a bylaw the thinking being that it would not be in the best interests of the municipal ities as this matter has been before the courts in an other township for over a year and no decision has been reached as yet we feel it would be premature to pass such a bylaw at this time reeve gordon cook emphasized the nonfeasi- bility of considering such legislation it would be premature indeed he said already york county councils agriculture com mittee and the county fed eration of agriculture are waiting to be granted a hearing by the minister of municipal affairs to pre sent a brief and arguments why farm assessment if based on market values would be detrimental to the farmer himself and to the agricultural industry as a whole it would also affect the small home own er rural cooperation needed to curb land exploitation the cooperation of rur al municipalities in plan- ping to prevent exploita tion by private developers was- called for by j w spooncr minister of muni cipal affairs during an ad dress to an ontario federa tion of agriculture confer ence his job is to prevent this kind of thing happen ing said mr spooner but i will be depending on the rural municipalities for cooperation he said the question is not whether to have more urban development but rather what kind of urban development where and under what conditions more than 140 people took part in the federation conference on assessment taxation and land use the meeting accepted for study by the federation resolu tions from york and peter- borough counties on solu tions to taxation and as sessment problems jack ferguson a former ofa president and chair man of the assessment committee said increasing talk of the need for a cap ital gains tax is the most striking change in the thinking of farm people he said it would have been inconceivable a few years ago there have been so ma- ny amendments to the tax legislation it looks like grandmothers quilt the answer might be a new act a whole new approach he said summing up the confer ence he noted general a- grecment on several points a capital gains tax i should be considered planning should be on a provincewide basis freezing the value of ex propriated land until pay ment is made is unjust the present tax system does not distribute the bur den of taxation equitably a person forced to fore go his way of life and move to another area must not be made to suffer the gains the ofa has made have been obscu red by increasing prob lems one resolution called on the province to pay at least 80 per cent of the cost of eduation to offset some of the pressure of property taxes farmers find their assessment higher than home owners according to sales value and are called on to pay more taxes on property than they can
