mmissioner says
records inadequate
A budget of $197.425 was
adopted by Huron ounty Coun-
cil Friday for the assessment
department. The report sub-
mitted by A. D. Smith. reeve
of Turnberry, noted cost was
"considerably higher than the
department of municipal affairs
led us to believe".
Speaking on behalf of the
budget, assessment commis-
sioner, E. F. Hall said there
was from 40 to $50, 000 which
the department of municipal
o Fairs "somehow forgot about".
He said council was "not
deliberately misled" by the .de-
partment but that the depart-
ment obviously had "no idea of
what this would cost because
the department had had no per-
sonal experience in assessment
matters",
Reeve Anson McKinley asked
if next year's budget would be
somewhat lower. "I'm shocked
to learn this will cost over $7, -
000 for every municipality in
the county, " stated McKinley.
"If this \rill be the case from
now on, we were a damn site
better off the way we were be-
fore".
"The job has not been done
in the past, sir, " retorted Hall
who estimated that about $31, -
000 would be deleted from next
year's budget if salaries remain
static. "The Act states that
every home will be visited an-
nually and this has not been
done. The records are. wholly
inadequate: "
"It depends on the individual
who is building a set of cup-
boards whether he hires a car-
penter or a nail puller, " observ-
ed Hallo
Reeve Roy Pattison, Wawan-
., osh, ,asked Hall if there was
much "hidden assessment" in
the. county`as council had been
led to believe.
• Hall said that after working
in Huron County for pnly about
4 months, he was convinced
that there has been a great deal

of business assessment which
has been overlooked.
He told Reeve James Arm-
strong, Clinton, that a business-
man pays "strictly on the prop-
erty he occupies and not the
volume of business he conducts,"
Hall told council his depart-
ment would assess properties
according to the Act. "I assure
yeti, you will hear about it, "
advised Hall.
