E4ews-.13eco,rd, Thursday, March fi, 1.909 Minister calls assessing by province. "urgent need" All property in Ontario Will be assessed at market value by 1975 as the .cornerstone of 'a complete overhaul of the municipal system," Municipal Affairs Minister Darcy McKeough has announced, Plans to change ,assessment front a municipal function to full Provincial control were announced March 4 in the. Budget White Paper of Provincial Treasurer Charles MacNaughton. Mr. McKeough said the change in assessment was urgently needed to provide greater fairness to all taxpayers, and at the same time to establish a sound base for other reforms in the municipal system. He outlined the background and details in the course of an address to the. Oakville Chamber of Commerce. This will be the first basic reform of assesssment in Ontario in 120 years, , he pointed out, The drawbacks of the old system included "startling ,inequalities" that resulted in some taxpayers carrying more than their share of , the local tax load. Under the new system, "we will establish uniform standards to replace the present patchwork of differences and inconsistencies," Mr. McKeough said. The Municipal Affairs Department has been involved in assessment since 1947, but its role until now has been largely advisory. The aims of the assessment reform, ihclude equity among taxpayers and among municipalities, an improved basis for Provincial grants, and greater efficiency in staff training and staff utilization. A further airn is to assess all properties at market value. This is in sharp contrast ,to the existing practice. Last year, •Mr. McKeough said, "884 of the 964 Ontario municipalities were assessing at 50 per cent of market value and 868 were assessing at below 40 per cent." These procedures were described by the Ontario Committee on Taxation (the Smith. Committee) as "gross under-assessement," Often called the tiger of the ski slopes, Nancy .. Green's sparkle stili shows through in her most relaxed moments. The busy, much -travelled world champion will act as honorary campaign chairman for The Muscular Dystrophy Association �f Canada this year. Pork price drop seen for April OTTAWA, March 14 --Consumers can expect lower pork prices in April, according to the Canada Department of Agriculture's April food outlook, Following is a detailed analysis. - • BEEF—Prices are expected to hold steady. PORK—Due to seasonal slaughter patterns prices can be expected to weaken. TURKEY—Supplies of all weights will be adequate for Easter. CHICKEN—Roasting chicken (41bs. & up) are also in good supply. Broiler chicken (under 4 lbs.) will be plentiful at steady prices. EGGS—Prices could drop after Easter due to weaker demand and rising production. APPLES AND PEARS—Prices will continue steady with moderate supplies. P 0 T ATOES,--Market well supplied and prices low in eastern regions. Prices steady in Alberta and British Colunibia. CARROTS AND ONIONS -Ample supplies will keep prices low. RUTABAGAS -Plentiful supplies at low prices. • HOTHOUSE Ii,11UI3ARB-- Good supplies but prices will continue firth at present levels. HOTHOUSE CUCUM- BERS—Supplies "plentiful, Prices will continue steady. CANNED AND FROZEN PEAS -Very heavy supplies will exert downward 'preasute on prlcea, Auth9rities .in the tax field have censured this practice because it makes it di f ficuit to spot • i n equalities and, inconsistencies, and therefore it Weds to permit continued unfairness to many texpayets, For these .reasons, the province Plans 40 assess all properties at market value and to make frequent checks to keep assessment at market value. "This does not affect the actual. level of taxation, -of course," Mr, McKeough said. "It simply attacks unfairness," The market -value method means that the assessment will be much higher .than at present, in most cases, and the trill rate will be much lower in order to raise the same amount of money, 'The taxation in' dollars on a home would not be changed, It would only be changed if the More accurate assessment method -showed that home should, in fairness, be paying more or less in relation to other taxpayers," To illustrate the problems that made the change necessary, he quoted from • his own department's studies and the report of the Ontario Committee on Taxation (Smith Committee). In many municipalities there axe inaccuracies of assessment, and inconsistencies otstandards, that result in a great deal of unfairness. The Smith Committee noted that one home could be assessed at half again as much as another, in relation to its value, therefore the owfter would pay that much more than his fair share of taxes, Further, Mr, McKeough said there was proof of sdiscmnation ga apartmentsri, i$ tores and inadustinstrial premises." These common irlequalities became when municipillities did not carry out re-assessmengreaterts to bring theft figures up to ' date, Many communities have ,not been re -assessed for 20 or more years. . In addition to the problems of inequality and differing standards, -there was "a natural tendency of some councils to give a low priority to the assesentwas funcitionmpos," It sms provincial grants to beible fully fair when differences in assessment standards distorted the comparison between municipalities, Mr. McKeough said. , The new system of assessment will be administered by the Municipal Affairs Department in a • two-tiered structure. There will be 32 regional assessment units, with boundaries subject to adjustment in order to match those of regional governments, These regions in turn will be grouped under the assessment directors of seven large areas. The Province will assume the administration of assessment in Northern Ontario on July 1. The remainder of the province will come under provincial jurisdiction for the assessment function on January 1, 1970. CHSS lab moved for school offices BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Plans to convert surplus space ' at Central Huron Secondary School here into Offices for the Huron County Board of Education are riow being drawn by architects, the board said` Monday 'night when it disclosed- that a lab has already been. relocated to make way for the offices. The school-- board revealed that authorization for the relocation was given at a brief, special .meeting prior to the' recent school .holidays, so, that Clinton contractor, ' Cale Doucette, could do the work while the building was empty. Cost of the relocation was said to be $3,131. - - Education Director, John Cochrane, was - empowered earlier -this month to retain. the architectural firm of Paige and Steele to prepare the renovation plans. John Lavis, . board chairman, said Paige and Steele felt it would be best to relocate the lab during the holiday rather than wait ' until the other blueprints were ready, - The board met in closed session from 7:30 until after 9 p.m., when the press was admitted. The board returned to committee of' the whole about 10:30 and asked reporters to leave. Three public school boards, in McKillop, Usborne and Gederich Townships, were refused their requests • to function longer as committees of the new board. It was agreed previously that the "elementary school boards would be phased out at the end of this month unless there were compelling reasons to retain them longer. , Secondary school boards are to be phased out in another month. Provincial legislation requires that the old boards be disbanded by summer. A' request to place a remedial teacher in the Seaforth public school resulted in a decision to have Mr. Cochrane study needs for remedial teaching staff in all the county schools. . Elmer Bell, Q.C., of Exeter, has been appointed solicitor for the board. Arbitrators named for the school system are Leonard Winters, Clinton realtor; Ron Menzies of Goderich; Barry Wenger, Wingham publisher; W. D. Burton of Exeter, business administrator of South Huron District high School and William Dale, Seaforth farmer. ' _ Roy Dunlop, the board's business administrator, said he has left his position at the University of Toronto and is working here full-time now. Mr. Dunidp reported that he and James Coulter, school superintendent, are working on the budget, but it is too early to sit down with the board's budget committee. Board- members chosen to serve on a committee for schools for the retarded were Norman Shepherd of Wingham, Mrs: J. W. Wallace of Goderich and Clarence McDonald of Exeter. It has been learned that Ben Straughan, business administrator of Goderich District Collegiate Institute, has been hired as an assistant to Mr. Dunlop at a $10,000 annual salary. Mr. Straughan's title and new duties were not clearly defined.
