should take part in tax study
Huron County ad
ministrator Bill ‘ Hanly
recommended on Wednes
day that county council
members urge their
municipalities to take part
in the provincial study of
property tax assessment.
The provincial govern
ment is approaching each
municipality offering to
study its assessment to see
whether the property tax
burden could be distributed
more equitably under Sec
tion 86 of the Assessment
Act.
Assessment figures in use
are based on 1940 market
values. Section 86 allows
municipalities to review
each classification and up
date the value of homes and
buildings to help clear up
some of the discrepancies,
particularly between old and
new homes.
Hanly told council the
study won’t change the
proportion of taxes paid by
residential, commercial and
industrial ratepayers. But it
would make it possible to
spread the burden more
evenly within each of the
three classes.
“I think it would be wise
at this time to take a look at
it and see what the effects
would be,” he said after the
meeting.
Hanly told council he
suspected the greatest
benefits would be for
villages and towns. “I think
the big inequities are in
commercial and residential
(taxes), but there may be
some in the farm
(assessment),” he said.
The province also plans to
update the equalization
factors used in calculating
education and county levies,
as well as provincial'grants.
Hanly said updated
equalization factors could
mean higher education and
county taxes for some

municipalities, but lower
ones for others.
While the municipalities
will have little control over
the new equalization factor,
except through the appeal
procedure, it will be their
decision whether to accept
provincial finds concerning
Section 86.
The section is not a new
addition to the Assessment
Act. It has not, however,
been used before because
the province has been con
sidering totally revamping
the property tax system to
reflect market values.
The more extensive
property tax proposals
originally considered would
have shifted the tax burden
more to institutional and
business ratepayers.
The province, however,
has decided to shelve the
more radical form of
property tax reform and
dusted off Section 86 as an
interim measure.

were all sitting around the

Suddenly one boy said lets

for all of us to get presents.
They quickly ran to their
rooms to write what they
wanted for Christmas.
With list in hand they all
ran to phone their parents. A
few hours later they were
sitting around the Christmas
tree all singing and playing
with their toys. That was the

Snoopy is sitting on top of
his dog house. Suddenly
Woodstock comes flying in
and asks Snoopy “Why are
you out in the cold.” “I am
waiting for Santa Claus”
exclaimed Snoopy.
In the morning Snoojpy was
covered with snow. He had to
dig himself out. Snoopy
looked in his dog house and
searched for his presents. He
thought maybe Santa Claus
might have put them in the
wrong house.
First he went to Lucey’s
and Linus’s house. “I
wouldn’t let Santa Claus put
a dog’s present under my
Christmas tree!” yelled
Lucey. Next he went to
Pigpens’ house or what he
called his house. Snoopy
asked “Did you happen
(cough cough) to find an
extra present (cough) at
your home.”
“No, I didn’t” said Pigpen.
Snoopy staggered home
disappointed. He clihabed the
front steps to Charlie
Brown’s house to get his
breakfast. When he looked
under the Christmas tree
what did he find? He found a
present for himself.
He was so happy he forgot
about his breakfast and ran
to get Woodstock. After they
had opened their presents
the sang Jingle Bells.
Woodstock said to Snoopy
“You shouldn’t have worried
Snoopy, Santa always bring
presents to good girls and
boys AND dogs.”
but just a few pennys.
It was the day before
Christmas and they had no
Christmas tree and Santa
Claus could not come. Then
all of a sudden that very
minuite stood a Christmas
tree with candy canes, balls,
shortbread cookies and
(sugar plums with strung
popcorn.
Then it started to talk, “HI
THERE”, said the tree,
“MERRY CHRISTMAS.” It
was a magic tree. Now they
could have Christmas. The
children asked if Santa could
come.
“Yes”, said the tree. It
was time for bed for the
children so they went to
sleep. The next morning they
woke, there under the tree
sat lots of presents.
They all rushed to the tree
and opened their presents.
They were satisfied, and had
a joyful Christmas.
Santa's
Problem
BY JEFF MILLER
Grade 5
Usborne Central
Santa was very sad. He
had a problem. He
remembered that last year
he could only fit through
thirteen of the chimneys on
his route and this year he
was
dered what he could do.
It was time to harness the
reindeers to the sleigh. When
he was done hooking the
reindeer to the sleigh he told
the elves to load the sled with
toys. It was soon dark so
Santa climbed into the sleigh
and took off through the sky.
He decided to go to Mickey
Mouse’s place first and ask
Mickey if he could think of a
way to help him solve his
problem. When Santa got to
Mickey’s place Santa told
Mickey about his problem.
They both thought for a
while. All of a sudden
Mickey had an idea. Mickey
said he could crawl down the
chimneys and unlock the
door for Santa. Santa
thought it was a great idea.
So both Santa and Mickey
hopped in the sled and took
off through the sky.
When Santa and Mickey
were done the route there
was one present left. It said
“To Mickey Mouse.”
So Mickey opened it and
inside there were red clothes
just like Santa’s clothes that
just fit Mickey perfect. From
then on Mickey always
helped Santa. That is how
Santa can get into your house
through your small chimney.

him in a manger in many
silks, and also after awhile
many people came giving
him gifts.
That is what Christmas
