The South Bruce Beach Property
Owners Association representing
the property owners on Registered
Plan 843 Huron•Township, County
of Bruce , would like to convey to
you our alarm and our dissatisfac-,
tion over the new Assessment Act
and subsequent taxation levied. on
our properties for the first time
in 1973.
More particularly our grievan-
ces are as follows;
1. The association owns 38
acres of green belt property that,
according to the .bylaws of the
association and soon to be regist-
ered on each deed, cannot be
used for any other purpose without
'the unanimous consent of all the
property owners. With the pres-
ent emphasis on conservation this
consent will probably never be
given yet the taxes on this prop-
erty increased over 500% in 1973.
2. One building lot (not fronting
on the lake) in the registered plan
is a right of way, to this property
and cannot be used for any other
purpose 'according to the deed and
yet it is assessed and• taxed at the
same rate as the building lots
next door that contain cottages
($3900 each).
3. Every cottage owner's.taxes
have increased at least. 100% and
some far more with no increase
in the very limited services that
are provided to cottage owners,
We understand that all properties
are assessed at market value rer'•
gardlesS of the fact that almost ,
w,ithotit exceptions all our cot-
tages are strictly for Summer use
and none of us send children to
schools.
4. We received our tax notices
the week of August 20th yet, if
they are not paid by September.
15th they are subject to a 4/0 periL
alty, This, despite,the fact that
each person must pay at least
twice as much as last year and
yet, to our knowledge, payment
was never tequired this early be-
fore.
•
You may reply that points 1
and 2 should have been looked
after at assessment time.' We
agree'that we should have been
more 'careful in our examination
of the assessment notice
'130 the tenor of the notice was
'that, although assessment would
be indreased;raXeiwoul¬ nec•
essarily be.-. You can rest assured
we will examine the assessment
iotices very carefully next year.
We also understand that full
implementation of the new act
is being done in stages. Because
ofthis we suspect that the govern-
ment realizes that this could be
very_ controversial legislation •and
wish to test the reaction of a few
property owners.
Finally, as property owners, ,we
do not ask for anything, but fair.
treatment but in this legislation
and subsequent taxation we feel
that we have been unfairly dealt
with.

School Pupils Will
Call For Blind
The early experiences of the
young blind child provide, the basis
for his future growth and develop-
ment as, an adult,. Helping the
blind child achieve his
potential is just one of the many
CNIB services supported by your
annual donation. The local fund
raising canvass will be conducted
October 5th to 13th by students of
Lucknow Central Public School.
Each student will have canvasser's
credentials.
The Canadian National Institute
for the Blind first began its work
with blind children in 1950 and
since then has helped thousands of
children prepare for life in a
sighted world. CNIB's Workers "
help the parents discover new ways
of teaching and stimulating the
child to learn. For example; a
blind child learns about the
potato he eats by touch. He helps
to wash and. peel it for cooking
and his whole concept of it comes
.from touch and •taste. Every-
thing in his environment has to be
experienced in a' similar way.
At the same time he must learn
self-control-and hoW to handle
the world beyond his reach.
Otherwise he Will suffer frustra-
tions such as not being able to find
a toy thrown aside in anger.
Throughout the child's early
years the children's worker coun-
sels the parents in their difficult
role and helps them determine
the individual child's needs and
provide enriching experiences.
When the child reaches school age
the worker becomes the contact
with the.-school and continues as
liaison with •other CNIB services.
CNIB's work with blind child-
ren and their, parents starts the.
blind child on his way to become
independent , self-supporting
adult.
Your gift to the campaig helps
blind children grow.
