Mr. Frost considered that as sessing was difficult in his area, which he considered urban, while most of the other parts of the township were rural. Subsequent to Mr. Frost's re- marks, and a letter which pre- ceded them, Reeve J. S. Scott noted that there seemed to be some insinuation that there is dissatisfaction with the present Assessment Commissioner. "1 think we must read between the lines in this communica- tion," he said. "I feel we need just grounds to replace our pres- ent Assessment Commissioner." Mr. Scott said that Mr. D. F. Goslin, the Assessment Commis sioner would present Council with his formula for the re- | assessment at a Council meeting two weeks hence. | "He does not propose to re- | assess buildings, but feels that | he will have all he can do to re-| | assess lands," the Reeve said. | Councillor Clifford Laycox con sidered that the matter of en- gaging expert assistance merit- ed "a lot of consideration." He | told of homes, completed on the outside, but far from comple- tion on the inside, having the same assessment as his own,| |" which was completely finished inside and out. Councillor Harvey Spang ask- ed if the assessors always made) a second call. He said that he| had had complaints that they did not return a second time, and thought it important that they do so. | "I see no reason why eur as-| sessors could not back call on every single individual," said Councillor Laycox. "And I be- lieve that in valuing properties houses should be inspected in- side as well as out." Reeve Scott reminded the speakers that the Assessment Department had not been over- staffed. { Councillor Laycox told of the| deluge of calls he had received regarding assessments. He said that a qualified assessor was re- quired who was not a prejudiced individual. "I think we should examine Mr. Goslin's tormula," said Councillor Ross Deakin, "before we consider any action. I feel that last year we condemned employees 'wefore they had a chafice to speak for them- selves." | DELEGATION PLEADS | Howard E. Lowry asked Coun- cil what was going to be done | about providing water for the jl: Fast Rouge area. Voices from the crowded Council Chambers murmured, "Nothing!", and| then, "As usual." | "If there are any more re-| marks, you will be asked to leave the hall," said Reeve Scott, "This is a Council meet-| ing. We are going to conduct it as such." The Reeve went on to explain that a report had been prepared a year ago, and at that time it was not prac- ticable. He said that a further report was in progress, and that' if the report were found expe- ditious, that a petition of over 60 per cent of signatures with a clear indication that the major- ity wanted water, would be re- quired. Mr, Lowry said that from the middle of last September he had paid $60 for water. "I do not think it right when there is a water tank within a half mile away," he, said. "I would not hesitate a minute pay- ing $500, if only to flush the toilet." He said that there were too many septic beds in the area, and that the wells were too close, with the water likely to become contaminated.' Mr. Lowry urged haste. RETARDED CHILDREN A. H. Bird, Campaign Man- ager of the Ajax, Pickering and Whitby Association for Retarded Children, addressed Council, seeking assistance in this en- deavor, He said that only in the last 15 years has something been done for these children, and spoke of the original school, the move to the old Brock Road| School, and the recent move to their new building, Aldon House, | in Ajax, where 27 children, 12 of them from Pickering Town- ship, were educated by three teachers. Mr. Bird said that in 1959 operating costs were $13,748.33, in 1960, $14,480.57, and that it is estimated that costs will be $16,- 000 in 1961, He said that the total building project amounted to $67,000, $21,000 of which was supplied by the Provincial Gov- ernment, and $23,000 by the as sociation. council that they had appointed S.
