THE SECOND OF EIGIIr ARTICLES ON
.,
The History of Assessment and
Municipal Taxation in Ontario
. 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

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. The pioneers
are farther brick in time than we
imagine.
In this part of Canada the sous
of tit pioneers are no longer with
us, nor even the grandsons. '^ o -
day's generation is about fifth fyrom
the frontier days and we have
actually become a seasoned and
time-honored region. A visit to
Goderich between August 3 and 7
would pleasantly recall the settle-
ment of this •picturesque, harbor.

PUTTING PEP IN PASTURE
The fertility of your soil is like a bank account.
You can't keep taking it out, without putting
some backin.
Today's demands for more production - and
greater yield at dower cost need the.proper use
and application of fertilizers to pastures, grain
fields and all areas where produce is grown. Vhese
fertilizers will help replace in the soil those
minerals so essential to plant growth.
The manager of your bra"nch of The Canadial o
Bank of Commerce represents a bank that has
for many years taken a keen interest in promoting
better farming and in looking after Canadian
farmers' banking needs. Why not pay him a visit?

PRE -PUBLICITY on the Canadian.
Association of Broadcasters 27th
annual conference in Toronto las
wttek indicated that the most cam -
tendons issue would be on the Sub-
jeet of ratings. These are the tig-
gures which are supposed to tell
whir's listening to the radio, when,
and to what statiob. DitTercnt
survey =tirnrs have --been issuing
statistics on the same program, in
the same' area, over the same sta-
tion, but with' an entiredifferent
rating. This had looked like a hot
topic. A committee invest igat'iu,g
the subject reported, however, that
they could find very little to 4om-
plaiu of in this inasmuch as the
different stat let Mans need 'not have
taken their survey sample on the
slime day, and therefore the "results
could not be' expected to be the
same. That took the steam out of
everybody's eon trter-argttnnents and
left industry's enthusiasm for sur-
veys only slightly dampened.
ALTHOUGH THE CONFERENCE
AGENDA was devoted almost en-
tirely to ,radio sales and manage-
ment, I picked, up a few program
ideas •Bile the tweeting. was ars
cussing tiwo•w ay telephone eon-
t•ersatR ions. ' UK N W , New West-
minster, B.C..--runs a shcrw Sunday
night named "Call the Pastor."
Idea Is that a minister of the
0almly-confident afireslde-eluut .tripe
takes the air and invites listeners to
telephone hila and discuss their pro-.
bions. The listenem remain anotnly-
nnous. The audience hears both sides.
of the telephone conversation.
Sounds like a natural for almost Any
met ropolttan area.
CAB PRESIDENT, Malcolm Neill
of OFNB, Fredericton, New Bruns-
wick, gave Parliament and the
OBC a raking over the eoals for
what, he called the "e(rtnpletely im-
1►raotieal restrictions on the' free
enterirrise development of TV" and
t,nlled on Otto W41 10 "allow pri-
vate radio to provide television to
an parts of the country at no ex-
pense to the tnxnayer."
