P WHITBY (Staff) --The On- tario County Council at its Tues- day session for the second time turned down a proposal to in- BFE Baw troduce county assessment. Af- ter a heated discussion council voted 20 to 20 on the proposal. Leading the opposition to the proposal were Reeve Everett George Brooks, of Whitby, Mr. Brooks flatly stated he and Mr. Quantrill had been instructed to vote against county assessment and would continue to follow that policy until facts and fig- ures were presented. Visible evi- dence must be presented show- ing the advantage of county as- sessment to the satisfaction of the Whitby Council. ASSESSOR CRITICIZED Joining in the fight against county assessment was Deputy Reeve Mrs. Jean McPherson of Pickering Township. She criticiz- ed County Assessor Gordon Hep- ditch for breaking faith with township ratepayers. Pickering Township Council has accepted! county assessment but ratepay- ers in the township are not satis- fied with it, Mrs. McPherson said. Reeve Clifford Laycox of| Pickering Township took the opposite view. He defended the county assessor and the county assessment committee, charging lan TDa aS ae Ay he rt eet He Sine Sale of East Whitby Township, was why the assessment commission- er and the assessment commit- tee differed in their opinion on the assessment of East Whitby farm land, "We were told one thing by the county assessor and in writ- ing received a different version from the committee," Mr. How- den charged. Following a statement by Mr. Hall, the committee chairman, to the effect that the commit- tee was perhaps not qualified to give specific assessment infor- mation, Mr. Howden said: 'In this case the assessment com- mittee appeared to have the cor- rect version and the commis- |sioner was in error." Mr. Hall ireplied: "This sometimes can happen and is not too signifi- cant." Questioned on where and if farm property in the county is assessed as farm land, Mr. Hep- ditch gave a lengthy explanation which mystified members of council. ' "]T am sorry, you must simpli- |fy that. You lost me some- lwhere," commented Mr. Hall. "There are those here today who will disagree with my ex- planation but this cannot be helped," Mr. Hepditch said. |RED HERRINGS The Whitby town representa- idiotic statements were being|:i,., were accused of dragging made. jred herrings over the county as- The question was introduced|sessment question by the com-| by Reeve John Dryden of Whit-|mittee chairman and the Pick-| | } | by Township.
