The executive agreed to the purchase of a puppet theatre, a set of 12 puppets, a play kitchen cupboard, two sets of Iinca blocks and a super aquaplay. It was also suggested that the Home and School in partnership with the school take videos of all the classes in the fall so that there will be a record of children should an emergency arise.

Attention Property Owners and Tenants in the Village of Blyth WANT TO APPEAL YOUR ASSESSMENT? You still have time to appeal your 1985 assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you pay depends on it, in that the assessed value of your property is multiplied by your municipal and school mill rate to determine your 1986 property taxes. Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open houses have been held in your area to answer questions and amend assessment information if necessary. Open house dates and locations were announced in a previous advertisement. The Assessment Roll has now been delivered to your municipality for the purposes of calculating the amount of taxes you must pay on your property in 1986. For informa- tion on your assessment, the Assessment Roll is now available for review at your Municipal Office during regu- lar business hours. If you feel your property has been improperly assessed, and you have not yet made your appeal known, you still have until March 4, 1986 to deliver or mall an appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Assessment, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline—March 4, 1986 The Assessment Review Board is an impartial body reporting to the Attorney General of Ontario, which pro- vides you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office or your Municipal Office. As well, you can use the reverse side of a Notice of Assess- ment or write a letter stating the property address and roll number, together with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board listed below.
