Prior to that time mast assess- inent valuations were made on the "`guess" method. Only a small Percentage of our municipalities bad proper records of property and included in the number which did not, were some of the larger municipalities. However, with the advent of the county assessment system, the formation of the Association of Assessing Officers, of Ontario and the assistance given to municip- alities by the Assessment Branch of the Department of Municipal Affairs since the present Minister inaugurated the Branch 'in 1947, the situation has materially im- proVed. It is hard to conceive that some municipalities are still re- luctant to •install a modern and scientific system of appraisals in view of the fact that a proper assessment system, is the whole keystone of municipal govern- ment. The cost is small and the benefits are great. The preliminary task is to measure the exterior of all build- ings. The square foot area or the cubic foot capacity of the build- ings are then calculated. It is suggested that the more equitable and easier method is to value residential, farm and ordinary height commercial buildings on the squareot method and over height commercial and industrial buildings on the cubic foot sys- tem. This area or cubage is then multiplied by the rate which it 611 v +(IN fAVOURITE BEVERAGE KIST y r IN ALL FLAVOURS' would cost to reproduce these buildings to arrive at the basic cast. To this is added the value of the imPrevemerlt4 which ,were mentioned in a previous article such as heating, plumbing, vslr-, ing, etc. Farm Land Value Land when 'sold on a frontage basis is calculated at so much a running foot and the value is estimated not only from the sale price of other land in the area but also from the factors or the available municipal services which influence the, location. Farm land is valued according'to the type and producing value of the soil and there are many graduations in these values. The information concerning the buildings and land is then placed on an appraisal card or sheet and any influences which reduce the value are then, placed against the replacement cost so that the actual value may be ascertained. A sketch of the building is also drawn and all data concerning the building or land along with a description of the property and census informa- tion. becomes a permanent field book. The saving by not having to prepare a field book annually is considerable when the perm- anent appraisal cards are prepar- ed in lieu thereof. Most municipalities ,also pre- pare land value maps at a very small charge which along with the appraisal cards are thrown open to inquiring taxpayers, courts of revision, etc., so that a comparison of assessments may be seen. It is regretted that available space prevents a more detailed description, of apbraisal cards and land value maps which are a necessary adjunct to the assess- or's work. Cost of Re-Assessment The average cost of making a reassessment runs between $3 and $4 a property. The cost will naturally be higher on farm property owing to the work and the distance between farms. The cost on industrial property is also higher while residential property reduces the cost. This estimate covers the whole procedure from the measureirients to the final revision by the Court of Revision. It is not a difficult task and any person with good judgment can undertake it. What is the value when com- pleted? Well, if the task 'is properly done, you will have for the first time a proper basis of assessment and equalization and the opportunity to compare as- sessments from records instead of from "guesses." We all realize that we must pay taxes, to provide the services we expect and demand in our municipality. We also realize that owing to the increasing costs and the natural increase in salaries of our municipal employees that our taxes are bound to rise as the cost of living increases. But we ace not or should not be willing to pay more than our fair share ci taxes based on our assessment. But we will, unless we as tax- payers see that our municipality intalls a proper and modern system of assessment, whin en- sures that we are assessed on an equitable basis of values with comparable property located in our assessing unit. It is hoped that these rather sl etchy articles will not only give the taxpayers some know- ledge of the present as.sessment sitnation in Ontario but will also Ft.] them as to how they can 1-clp to improve the methods used in their municipaliVeJ. one sure way to assist in this en- deavour is to ensure that where we have obtained thn services of a good assessor .thAt he will be fairy recompensed g' veri secur- ity of employment and allotted the proper equipmen'; and tools to carry his duties in a proper manner. 111011111111111M111111111111111M1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 CALL IN AND SEE US ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS on: EAVESTROUGHING ELECTRICAL WIRING AIR-CONDITIONING GRAVITY WARM-AIR HEATING PLUMBING A FURNACE FOR EVERY JOB 111•••••••••••11.

Plans already are in high gear at the Canadian Pacific's coast-to-coast string of hotels and summer resorts which offer the ultiinate in fishing, swimming and boating in fresh water or salt, golfing on some of the country's most renowned fairways, and many other forms of recrea- tion. This beautiful water-hole at Digby Pines, Nova Scotia (top left) is a challenge to par- buster and novice alike. Following, clockwise is a view of swimming at Banff Springs Hotel, Alberta, where water sports are enjoyed against a mountain backdrop. Always a zestful game, . tennis is really exhilarating in the crisp mountain air of the Canadian Rockies at Banff and Lake Louise. Although found right across Canada, trout in the Rockies will prove a stern test for the angler, as well as a proud trophy, as the beauteous fisher-gal seems to be telling the Mountie. 4-44-0 44-4-04.4-4-4-44-44- +4 • 444-4-44-4-•-•-•-•-+•-•-•-••• News of Hensall Geo.
