Huron farmers appeal
business assessment
• Almost all farmers in Huron
County who were slapped with a
25-percent business tax this year
have appealed their assessment,
said A. A. Alexander, former
Huron County assessor,
Wednesday, the last appeal date.
Court of revision will sit early
in November and like last year,
• will be held in the various
municipalities throughout the
county,
Mr. Alexander explained that
only poultry and hog producers
who do not grow some of their
own feed but depend solely on
commercial feed supplies will be
affected.
"Some farmers own just a
few acres of land and run
thousands of birds (poultry),"
he explained.
1-luron County farmers
attended a meeting in Clinton
Wednesday night to discuss the
matter.
They were told by Rae
Cunningham of Toronto,
director of properties, Ontario
Federation of Agriculture, that
conflicting interpretations of the
assessment Act as to what
constitutes a farmer have created
• problems over the years in
respect to all assessing and
particularily to assessing for
business taxation.
Not all farmers have been
assessed for business purposes

Zurich council
start water plan
Zurich council will apply to
the Ontario Municipal Board for
approval to construct a • • waterworks system expected to
cost $130,366.
Plans are to charge the cost as
a waterworks rate for a 20-year
period. The system would
include a ground level reservoir,
a pump house and installation of
high lift pumps, water mains and
• • fire hydrants.
Six-inch water mains would
replace the present two-inch
mains to give the system more
pressure. Extension of services
to outlying areas has weakened
pressure.
• •
Any objections to the
proposal would be heard by the
OMB at a public hearing. The
present system has been in
operation since 1934.

Mrs. Tom Govenleck of
Seaforth said the farmers were
caught sleeping. "A let of this is
our own fault.. If you read your
newspapers last year you would
have read where the assessment
commissioner had told Huron

tax. We, as farmers, thought he
would pick it up in town," she

Bonds, but delegated the
decision regarding
implementation of the plan to
the executive council
(administrative staff).
R. B. Dunlop, business
administrator, told the Board he
would like to delay
implementation for one year on
account of pressure of work in
his office.

from the director of Royal

they do not pay their way in, we
should consider it," he felt.

The buying public in Ontario
is to have added protection, it
was learned Thursday at the
consumer protection conference
in Clinton attended by about
350 persons.
The Consumer Protection
Act, outlined at the meeting by
Exeter lawyer Elmer D. Bell QC,
makes it mandatory for itinerant
salesmen to give the consumer a
receipt which gives the name and
address of the vendor, the name
of the buyer and a description of
the goods purchased.
With this information, the
consumer can cancel the
contract if he sends a registered
letter within 48 hours of the sale
to the vendor indicating his
intentions to opt out..
A. R. Walker, registrar of the
Consumer Protection Bureau of
the Ontario department of
financial and commercial affairs,
said the act is aimed at
high-pressure fast-talking
salesmen who convince
customers to buy their products
before they have had a
reasonable opportunity to think
the matter over clearly.
He said the two-day
"cooling-off period" prescribed
in the act gives the consumer a
chance to cancel a contract he or
she really didn't want in the first
place.
It is also designed to prevent
misleading or deceptive
advertising.
Complaints can be directed to
the bureau through Queen's Park
in Toronto, it was pointed out.
Mr. Walker also urged
consumers to be well informed
of their rights. He said that if
consumers would advise the
Consumer Protection Bureau of
unethical businessmen and
business tactics, society could
soon be rid of such pests.
"All of us have a great
responsibility on our shoulders
and, as we move along the
slithery slope to a cashless,
chequeless society, business,
consumers and government will
have difficult, uncharted paths
to follow and we must assist one
another to keep the road free
Dear Editor,
Through the news media of
your paper, and the news
bulletins sent from the Usborne
Central Schobl office, we have
been given to understand that
the fee for the use of the
auditorium and kitchen of the
school is as follows —
Auditorium, $10.00
non-profit, $15.00 profit.
Auditorium plus kitchen,
$15.00 non-profit, $25.00
profit.
We as a community
organization feel that these
higher rates are outrageous, and
a result will break down our
community sociability.
Due to higher rates of taxes
we feel that we are paying over
and over to use something that
should be our privilege to use at
a much lower rate.
The caretaker should
certainly receive remuneration •
for any necessary services,
outside of this, it seems that any
say that a community may have
once had, has certainly been
taken away from them.
Will the Huron County Board
of Education profit by higher
rates and non-usage, or from
lower rates and a real
community spirit?
