If the property tax changes pro-
posed by the provincial govern-
ment are implemented. they will
have strong effect on every pro-
perty owner in Ontario.
A 10 person commission is
presently holding public hearings
throughout Ontario to get public
input on the 15 proposals put for-
ward by the government. Such
a hearing %vas held in Goderich
on Wednesday .
In order to understand just
ow much the individual person
will be affected by the changes
if incorporated, it is necessary to
take a look at the proposals.
1. Residences in Ontario,
collectively will bear a reduced
share of property taxes. This
does not mean every individual
residence tax xv ill be reduced as
in the past some have been un-
dertaxed and may undergo
increases. It does mean at the
present time residences collect-
ively carry about 5011, of the total
burden or property taxation and
this will be reduced. To do this,
residences will be taxed at 50%
of market value while other

properties are taxed at 100%.
2. Residential property will be
redefined to include only resid-
ences and a reasonable amount of
land. At the present such classes
of property as vacant commercial
and industrial property. vacant
land, golf courses, lodges, cubs
and conservation authorities are
being taxed at residential rates.
Under the new proposal these
would he taxed at 100% of their
market value.
3. The present practice of
levying different mill rates on
residential and commercial pro-
perties will be discontinued.
Instead. there will be a uniform
mill rate but it will be levied
on different percentages of
market-value assessments,
4. Farmland, farm buildings,
managed forests and farm resid-
ences will be assessed at market
value. Farmland, farm buildings
and managed forests will be taxed
at 100% of market value and the
taxes will be paid by the Province.
'karm residences will he taxed as
tat other residences at 50% of
market value, and the taxes will
be paid by the owner. If the land
used is changed, the taxes paid
on such property will be recover-
ed by the Province for a period of
up to ten years before the change
in land use took place. Interest on
these taxes will also be charged.
5. All real property used for
the purpose of a business, in-
cluding government administra-
tive facilities Lxill be subject to
an additional assessment of 50%
of market value for business tax-
es. This will eliminate , the
various percentages that now
apply, from 2511 1, for carparks on
through to I40°i, for distilleries.
a. All public property except
residences will be subject to
payments in lieu of taxes equal
to full taxes at 100% of market

Darcy McKeough, Treasurer
of Ontario, has admitted there is
a danger some people will .react
negatively and quite emotionally
to what they assure will happen if
these proposals are adopted,
For example. the proposal to
make taxpayers out of many
institutions which are now ex-
empt. Sonic people arc sure to
See this as a threat to the well
being of these agencies. Accord-
ing to Mr. McKeough, it is no
such thing. rather it is a move to
"provide visibility and a rational-
ity to a system of subsidies which
are acknowledged on all sides to
be worthwhile and desirable."
How the people of Ontario will
react remains to be seen.
FALSE INSPECTORS
Ontario Hydro is advising
householders to check creden-
tials of persons who claim to be
electrical inspectors and seek
admittance to their homes.
The move follows a recent rash
of thefts and burglaries.
"Our men do not wear Hydro
uniforms," says J. A. Dicker,
manager of electrical inspection,
"but each inspector does carry
an identification card with his
name, signature, employee,
number and photo.
Ontario Hydro is responsible
for the. inspection of all new
electric wiring, and electrical
appliance installations
throughout the province, in-
cluding municipalities served by
local Hydro systems.
"When our employees visit a .
home they are there either to
inspect a specific installation of
equipment or at the request of the'
Fire Marshal's office, local fire
deparment or municipal of-
ficials and," Mr. Dicker adds,
"they always carry proper
identification,"
