Iu 18011. the Provincial Govern- ment realizing the Inadequacies of the- section of the Municipal Act, created under the Baldwin -La Fon- taine Act of 1849, which dealt with -assessment- to some extent, • ap- pointed a commission under Judge McLennan to hear appeals,' argu- ments and, submissions, ete., against the a;sses.anent methods- laid down in that Act. The Commission Which met for nearly -dive years 'and, heard --many submissions front Boards of Trade, inerehauts, labor '.'Organizations; uipnlcipal officials and single • tux advocates anioug (Alters, brought in a number of interim recommenda- tions many of which were incorpor- ated in the first Assessment Act of 1901 which dealt solely with meld - elite' assessment and -taxation. They made many recon'rwendations-the majority of which, s'.4th some major and in other instances minor amend - twins, constitutes our present As- sessutent Act. The outstanding changes were that the value of the property was 10, be considered and not the type or class of construction; that the actual, yaille of farm laud -instead of the -tyles, of soil was to determine the assesstheut value; that business assessment was to be levied (01 the value of.laud and. buildings used for such business instead of such hypothetical and hard to ascertain methods as amount of• trade and stock on hand at the ttine of the assessor's call. Taxed On Real Value In that period they placed more reliance on the selling. value of property than we wisely' do today, !in View of the demand for housing accommodation whieh governs- the selling price but not the real or actual value. In 1940 an amendment to pro-- vide- for the. aplointnt.ent of County Assessors was brought into force. A.s this amendment is very import- ant, it will be dealt with in ,a later article. In 1946 the provisions which - dealt with the method of ascertaining assessment values were amended and these_A changes are now contained iu Section 33. In 10117 thepresent Minister of Municipal Affuirs, the Honorable G. H. Duphar took .the tirst con- crete step to actively assist munici- palities in assessment by creating an -Assessment Brunch to aid and advise tuunieipalities and, assessors in- thein assessment pli, blems: In .1950' Mr. Dunbar Went further by issuing a Mtiuunl of Assessment Values to be• used. as a guide by assessors in determining values for assessment purposes. The adoption of this Manual was not made com- pulsory but was at the dis retion of the municipallties and the a0- sensors. County Councils •- The form of municipal govern- ment which we should be most 'n- t.erested in is our local municipal government, .:Yet we have another form of municipal government which administers some municipal services and to pay for these mun- icipal services a charge appears in our local fax. bills. These, governments :ire known as county councils or territorial dis- trict organizations. In Southern Ontario, there are 38 Administrative County ('ouneils and they govern certain municipal services. Their administration for- some purposes includes 97 towns, 150 villages and 4211 townships, and one in►prove- nient district. ,IOntario n Northern we have 11 Territorial Districts which for some purposes levy charges rated on,as- sesssment. • The charges for the u►tinicipal services dispensed appear in the tax hills of the local rate- payers in these territorial districts `And they tom! rise 5 cities' 4t1 Owns, 10 villages, 144 townships ,and 16 VIM( TIRO PIONN1M8 (London Free Puss) The deciaigµ of the people o{ Goderieh to Mark the 125th anni- versary of the establishment of the community this summer is a reminder that the settlement of Southern Ontario is older than we sometimes realize.
