interim recommen dations many of which were in corporated in the first assessment act of 15km which dealt solely with municipal assessment and taxa- i tion they made many recommen dations the majority of which with some major and in other in stances minor amendments con stitutes our present assessment act the outstanding changes were that the value of the property was to be considered and not the type or class of construction that the actual value of farm land instead of the type of soil was to deter mine the assessment value that business assessment was to be levied on the value of land and in kmo an amendment to provide for the appointment of county assessors was brought into force as this amendment is very im portant it will be dealt with in a later article in 1046 the provisions which dealt with the method of ascertaining assessment values were amended and these changes are now contained in section 33 in 1947 the present minister of municipal affairs the honorable g h dunbar took the first con crete step to actively assist muni cipalities in assessment by creat ing an assessment branch to aid arid advise municipalities and assessors in their assessment prol- lems in 1950 mr dunbar went further by issuing a manual of assessment values to be used as a guide by assessors in determin ing values for assessment pur poses the adoption of this man ual was not made compulsory but

certain municipal services i their administration for some purposes includes 97 towns 150 villages and 12 townships and one improvement district i in northern ontario we have 11 territorial districts which for some purposes levy charges rated on assessment the charges for the municipal services dispensed appear in the tax bills of the local ratepayers in these territorial dis tricts and they comprise 5 cities 46 towns 10 villages 114 townships and 16 improvement districts an explanation of why we as ratepayers should be vitally in terested in the assessment of other municipalities besides our own will appear in the next article editors mail toronto ont mar 21 1952 editor thk tribune stoutrville ont dear sir i noted and heartily agreed witn your editorial dealing with canadian government policies af fecting goods imported from japan it is sincerely to be hoped that reminded of the following terse statement credited to an official of the nova seotian government the other day in a slashing address in montreal on the general theme that the canadian dairy farming industry is very sick tnfortun- atelv tariffs for many manufac tured goods and products are ac cepted by the canadian public as proper and right however when it is suggested that a tariff be placed on foreign oils in order tho masterful men it the i iliev that the canadians depen- num v v v tf dent upon the dar ry industry may he given some protection this is something which cannot be con sidered for one moment with one thou implications in thefoiowing warn- a iced cow asa1 ing remember these japanese workers have available the same machines and tools with which to control- not alone at the offi cial levels but hardly less impor tant also in management union produce as are at the disposal of the canadian workers they have or can develop the same skill the difference between them is that the japanese worker is paid a pittance a few cents per hour while his canadian competitors have a de cent standard of living my understanding has been that in relation to the manufacturing processing and secondary indus tries the above problems are pret ty well taken care of within the routine mechanism of the protec tive tariff however as you ixintj out there are importers who do not care what happens to can adian workers if they can buy goods a little more cheaply in this latter connection 1 am propaganda by interested manufacturers and poor public relations by the dairy industry has helped to develop this situation from an address by k v walsh deputy minister of agriculture for nova scotia

problem in markham planning at its weekly meeting monday evening markham township coun cil decided to make further chan ges in two of its new bylaws the first of these is the land use bylaw sponsored by the thornlea rale- payers and drawn up by their solicitor d g plaxton this bylaw whs discussed at the two previous meetings of council the second one is the amending bylaw to per mit the construction of buildings for business purposes in lots 31 to 35 in concession 1 thornhill to xo 7 highway the land restriction bylaw will atloci an area covered by the whole of lots 1 5 7 s and in conces sion 2 the township planning bd has already studied this bylaw and passed it subject to a final polish i ing up by council of the wording in paragraphs 2 and i the board i also recommended that council give consideration to those people who have already purchased land in the area they wanted the mem bers to secure an agreement from the parties concerned as to the type of construction they intend to put up councillors lennie and lema surier then moved passing of the bylaw with the recommendations of the planning board included councillor charles hooper objec ted to this procedure as he felt council should inspect the area first before passing the bylaw we already passed the bylaw at a previous meeting subject to the approval of the planning board and we cant go back on it now said lemasurier councillor hoop er refused to vote on the bylaw until council had inspected the area deputy reeve james felt the section covering- loading platforms should be liberalized councillor iemasurier contended council had asked the ratepayers to draw up a land use bylaw which they did and that when submitted to the council the members approved it subject to the recommendations of the planning board the planning board didnt object to the bylaw stated lemasurier in other words replied mr hooper we have to do just what the planning board says when actually it is only a recommending body lets stand on our own feet he contin ued this bylaw is locking the door to industry said hooper lennie disagreed with hooper as he felt the bylaw will make the area more exclusive we will get a better type of industry this way said lennie councillors lennie and hooper then moved and seconded a resolution calling for the reeve deputyreeve clerk and the town ship solicitor to redraft the bylaw to conform with the recommenda tions of the planning board coun cillor lemasurier voted against this resolution the amending bylaw to permit construction of businesses in lots 31 to 35 will also be
