In other words, a Cottage or other low -assessment '1l dwelling will_ not have all its IF taxes covered; the amount of reduction shall never .be more than 50. per cent of the total taxes. The Municipal Affairs Department is again inviting anyone with questions to check with "'its special infbrmation group. These officers handled a heavy volume of enquiries toward the end of 1968 and in the first weeks of this year. Most of the tenant with complaints, however, turned out to be ineligible. (Roomers, for example, are not eligible for the tax reduction.) Of the 2,200,000 households which were eligible in 1968, only a few hundred had disputes that were not readily resolved. Under the tax reduction system, municipalities reduce the taxes payable on residential property.. The amount, based on assessment and the - local mill rate,, is between $30 and $70 in most , ca:•es. In Clinton, the rebate is $63-$75. • For home -owners, the reductions are allowed on their tax° bills; for rented units, the landlords are allowed the reduction and are required by law to pass it on to the tenants. The province reimburses municipalities for the total 'of reductions. - Appoint assessment directOr Paul Simpson, 48, "has been appointed director of assessment for this area, Municipal. Affairs Minister . Darcy McKeough announced today. Mr. Simpson will be in charge of property assessment for five new assessment regions covering the counties- of Huron, Essex, Lambton, Kent, Middlesex, Elgin, Oxford, Perth,. Grey and Bruce. He is one, of seven area directors selected from more than 80 applicants for key positions in the province's new decentralized assessment division. The division, a parC of the Department of Municipal Affairs, will handle the assessment function when it is transferred from municipal to provincial jurisdiction ' on January 1,-1970, "These appointments mark the first time that a provincial government department has appointed so many senior officers to 'work 'with such autonomy outside of Queen's Park," Mr. McKlle6ugh said. Mr. ,,Simpson's office will be in London. ,Q staff of assessment specialists will be attached to his office to carry out valuations on special properties. Mr. Simpson will be responsible for. ensuring that every property" in the area is assessed at market value and that assessment is uniformly. applied. He will make 'necessary audits and inspections of the . five regional assessment offices. • The five ` regions will constitute the operating' units "for assessment and each will be headed by an Assessment Commissioner. Applicants will be considered for these jobs` in the next few weeks. - Mr. Simpson, the father of two children (aged 15 and 17) started as an assessor witli the City of Sarnia in 1945. In 1950 he became Assessment .Commissioner for Fort. 'William; in 1952 Associate Assessment Commissioner for Ottawa; in 1958 Assessment Commissioner. fot;, Ottawa; and this year Assessment Commissioner for the Regional Municipality of Ottawa=Carleton. In 1957 he was President of the Assessing Officers of:Ontario and, in 1962, President of the Institute of Municipal Assessors. He, is a member of the Institute's Board of Governors. GRADIN -G SUGAR How is sugar graded? White granulated sugar is ..roughly classified as to grain size. Ultra fine, Verifine and Super Fine are names used by different sugar companies for white granulated sugar of the , same "Grade" or grain size. All white refined sugars have the same sweetness per pound, points out the Canadian Sugar Institute. Icing sugar may taste sweeter than granulated sugar because it dissolves more quickly on the tongue.

As a summer visitor to Goderich for.-=many—`- years,I have become. increasingly concerned with the problem of industrial - and -domestic mess of every kind•that has beetime obvious even in this lovely part' of Ontario. - On the day I read your editorial, the town garbage .dump was on fire !tilling the Whole Maitland Valley and the adjacent part -of Goderich with acrid, disgusting smoke (The Prettiest Town in Canada'?.).

Nitrous 'oxide, and nitric. oxide are colorless, odorless and -highly, toxic gases that come from silage and form nitrogen dioxide when, they mik with the air. Nitrogen dioxide is yellowish brown in color; has a sickly sweet odor and is also extremely toxic. • These gases create a choking and • coughing sensation when inhaled, and a sufficieht .,concentration will cause partial eventually death. Hal Wright, farm safety specialist, Ontario Deparment of Agriculture and Food, warns that it is . of the utniosC importance that farmers who recognize_ these gases leave the infected area immediately. An oxygen supply such as those used by'scuba divers should be obtained, and the doors should then be taken out to the level of the silage. The gases are heavier •, that.i ,air, and opening the doers should ensure that gravity will force the gas down 'in a few hours, or in about one-half hour when a blower is used. Using a blower 'without opening the doors will be ineffective as this will merely disturb the air above the gas, while the gas remains at the top of the silage. There should always be someone on hand to help when the silo is first opened. It should. also, be remembered that the gases may form's*as soon as ensiling starts and may go an for 2-3 weeks after the .silo Is filled. They may then remain at the top of the silage until the silo -is, reopened. Farmers exposed to the gas at all without oxygen • supplies should ' -see a dl a r• ,immediately •even though no effects are felt. Compressed air equipment is available at v the . Scho%1 of Agriculture Engineering, University of Guelph, and is on loan to anyone in.the area.
