courts of re vision county and district judges and the ontario municipal board when determining appeals against assessment states that the assess ment of similar property in the vicinity is to be one of the main guides in deciding the actual value it is also assumed that if indus trial property or farm property l- assessed for so per cent of its actual value that residential and commercial prope ty shall also be assessed at so per cent decisions have also been given that in counties where a county assessor has been appointed that the assessment of property in one municipality may be compared with the assessment of property in another municipality of the same county however an assessment in the city of hamilton cannot be compared with one in the city of gait though the municipalities are fairly adjacent as explained in an earlier article where municipalities are joined together for administrative purposes the county costs are apportioned among the various municipalities on the basis of assessment some government grants are also apportioned on the basis of assessment and this par ticularly applied to educational grants in all townships and in villages and towns with a popula tion of less than 2500 the provincial department of education are naturally desirous of ensuring that school grants are equitably distributed at the same time to ensure that a municipal ity which installs a proper system of values is not discriminated against they have placed in their grant regulations a method to overcome this to some degree equalization of assessment we have mentioned above the importance of equalized assess ment to ensure a fair distribution of shared costs or government giants as between municipalities a proper system of assessment and equalization is especially im portant to the local taxpayer for on the basis of his assessment is determined not only the amount of taxes he pays to maintain county services and schools but also the services provided toy his own municipality he is therefore in the first instance concerned with the assessment of his neighbour nr similar property in the munici pality the fact that his assess ment is 1500 and the tax rate is go mills or whether his assess ment is 3000 and the tax rate is 30 mills does not change the actual tax dollars to be paid from 9000 however he is concerned when his assessment is 3000 and similar value property is only assessed for 2500 so equalization and proper assessment should make its start in the local municipality before it can be applied as a test against the equalization and assessment of other municipalities assessors problems while it is not entirely possible to ensure that taxpayers shall only pay for the actual services they receive from a municipality still some progress along this line has been made in the past few years a good assessor never raises the assessment because the exterior or interior of a building is well painted or decorated neither does he rate the value of buildings higher because of a good roof or eavetroughing or well kept lawns flower beds paved drive ways fences etc however he should not reduce the assessment because of the lack of any of these items unless such lack lias caused an actual costly physical depreci ation he should keep in mind how ever that badly laid out buildings lack of natural light and the poor location etc of a property will definitely reduce the value he should not penalize the good citi zen who improves his home by such items as hardwood flooring or mastic tile floors fireplaces attached oil burners panelling touiltin cupboards etc while all of these items are legally assess able yet the taxpayer whose home has these features does not receive any extra municipal ser vice because of them and in some instances receives less items which are more or less standard as plumbing electric lighting and hot water or hot air furnaces are assessable and should be included at a fair charge the elimination of the assessment on 50000 pheasants for summers restocking raised on ontario government pheasant farms sonre 50000 young birds will be made available this summer to sportsmens organiza tions and townships for distribu tion according to present depart ment of lands and forests plans the minister harold r scott announced recently approximate- allotments will permit the lake erie district to receive 15000 dayold chicks and 9000 poults these will come from the norma ndale farm norman- dale will also supply 0000 chicks to the lake huron district these will be supplemented by 9000 chicks and 0000 poults from cod- rington to make up the districts quota the trent districts quota will be 2500 chicks and a large number of poults will be divided between thai district and quinte the rideau district will receive some 2500 chicks and 500 poults the davold chicks will be turn ed over to the distributing co- operators the minister explained and retained by them for six weeks in brooders they will then be taken afield and freed by the gentlerelease system food will be set out alongside the release pens for as long as the young pheasants return in search of it he pointed out he also declared that about 2000 adult stock birds that have produced their quotas of eggs will be released in several areas many of these will likely resume nesting after release we would like to increase the production of young birds to improve pheasant populations and hunting in ontario the minister stated but we are limited as to space if sportsmens associations and townships could arrange to accept more dayold chicks for rearing to release age we could provide for increased production correspondingly in the freed space super for supper- made with magic pvij r hot biscuit suppersandwich season to
