Just assessment, The Assessment Act requires the.assessor to make an assessment of our property each year and on the amount of this assessment is calculated the levies which we will pay next Year The assessor has no control over the tax rate whiph is set by the local municipal council and their method is to divide the amount required to provide the WR JAPrieS) Municipal services for that Year into the total, taxable assessment and thus is 4eterroined the mill rate which in bern. is applied against each taxable assessment as made by the local assessor. So in other words if you do not appeal against en tune* aesess- 'nient you cannot anneal against the taxes set on this assessment,. When the assessor decides on ,the value to place on a property he inserts this amount in the assessment roll opposite a descrip- tion of the property, Then a few days prior to 'handing the come 1 1)100 assessment r911. over .to the . municipal clerk he forwards tie each, taxpayer and ratepayer an assessment notice setting forth the amount of the asseeement on hie property. The taxpayer' or ratepayer, if he feels that his assessment is too high or that, his assessment is nn- equitable compared to other 8S- seesments in the municipality can appeal either his own assessment or any other assessment in the municipality, The period for ap- pealing is stated on the notice and is within, 14 days after the roll is returned to the municipal clerk or in some municipalities within ten days, Appeal Procedere However, the correct procedure would be to first visittthe assess- or prier to entering your appeal and ascertain from him the rea- sons of your high or unjust as- sessment. The wise assessor wel- comes thesejnquiries and in fact invites them and opens his ap- praisal cards for inspection (of which more will be said later in another article) so that you can compare the assessment of sim- ilar property and his method of determining values. • If you are riot satisfied with his explanation then you should enter your appeal to the Court of Revision. which is composed of local citizens esecept where County Courts of Revision have been established. The appeal must be delivered in writing either by mail or personally to the Assess- ment Comthissioner (if there be one) or to the Clerk of the mu- nicipality within the time limit. The Court of Revision hearings are quite informal and there is no charge to enter an appeal. However, yotir efforts should be considered wasted unless you are unequitably assessed as assess- ments today are being 'set at much below actual value, and you cannot honestly claim aS a rule on over-assessment alone. • Further Ajpiteal Possible Now, if the Court of Revision should rule that your assessment is fair but you are still not satis- fied, your next, step is; to 'appeal to the County or District Judge or the Ontario Municipal. Board. However, if you appeal from the Court of Revision's decision di- rect to the Ontario Municipal Board, you have lost your op- portunity of a further appeal to the Judge. Your• appeal to the Judge follows the same form as appeals to the Court of Revision and must be entered within ten. days after the Clerk has sent you by registered mail notification of the decision of the Court of Revision, There is also no charge for appeals to the County Judge, If you are still not satisfied with the decision of the Judge or you intend to appeal direct from the decision of the Court of Revision to the Board, you have 21 days to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. This period dates from the time of notification by the Clerk and your notice of appeal must be sent by registered mail not only to the Board but also a similar notice must be sent by registered mail to the municipal- ity. A fee of $25 for each prop- erty you appeal must accompany the notice to the Board. If you are successful in this appeal, it is quite probable that the muni- cipality will be ordered to refund you this amount. For involved or lengthy cases the charge will probably exceed $25 but this charge comes later. On questions of law but not on questions of fact or value, you may appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal--but instances of this are not too common. (Next week's article which con- cludes this series will advise you how to obtain a proper system of assessment and equalization if you do not already enjoy the benefits of one in your munici- pality.)

The Dutch family living in the house had built their fire as usual, but, said Fire Chief Ross Scott, the pipe connection to the Chimney was faulty and allowed smoke to fill the upper rooms of the house. The trouble was quickly found and order restored. Rapid Construction Mrs. Charles Clifton, now liv- ing with her son George, near Kippen, expects to move into her new house in Brucefield in ap- proximately two weeks. This house, erected of a type of cement block has amazed all those who have watched its construction. One week ago Tuesday, there was only foundation and the odd pipe, etc., showing. The building grew like a mushroom in good mushroom weather. But t h e good house-building weather of the past weeks has surely not been the whole cause of this speedy construction. This Tues- day the men arrived with paint brushes, ready to apply first coats of paint. The roof is on; the windows are in; the doors are on. WA Daffodil Tea Brucefield United C h u r c h Schoolroom was prettily decorat- ed last Thursday afternoon, when Group 2 of the Woman's Associa- tion prepared and served tea to approximately 70 people. Under the convenership of. the group leaders, Mrs. Norman Baird, and .Mrs. Walter Moffatt, the event proved a success. The room was gay wth daffodils. A small alcove on the south side was bright with flowers, flanked by tall golden tapers. The wait- resses, Mrs. W. D. Wilson, Mrs. C. Christie, and Mrs. Howard jeemori, wore daffodil corsages, complimenting the daffodils on the tables. On the tables were placed small tumblers to receive contributions in payment of the delicious tea and sandwiches served. Tables of homemade towels and aprons were in the charge of Miss Edythe Bowey and Mrs. Walter MacBeath, Through the sale of the tea, and of these articles, the group realized over $400.
