(Contitrued from Page One) urban taxes by three percent; and corporation taxes were lowered, However, it was later pointed out that this scheme was devised locally and was not a direct result of new assessment methods. Bill Elston, Morris, said withholding education taxes was a poor method to use to get things changed. - "It is not going to get what we want," observed Elston. "Taxes on farms have been very unfair since high school districts were first formed. I know of one farmer who is paying as much education tax as the whole village of Beigrave. What can we do? I don't know, but we must do something. We've been pressed into bigger and bigger farms and the education tax is going to kill us."

"In other words, our premium should come down by $3,000," said John Berry, clerk-treasurer. Berry also outlined the difficulties to be met if the county would tender for insurance coverage.
