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 stall have until March 4, 1986 to deliver or mail 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 pQr write a letter stating the property address and roll numbbr, together with your -reasons for --appealing_ Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board listed below Ministry of Revenue Regional' Registrar ASSESSMENT REVIEW BOARD MINISTRY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 1st Floor, 428 Third Street London, Ontario NSW 4W6 orida trip Thresher Association discusses 25th reunion Howatt.

BLYTH — A six -person delegation from the Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association appeared before council here on February 4 to discuss plans for the 25th Threshermen's Reunion to be held this year and also to discuss possible expansion for parking at the Blyth Comrnunity Cen- tre fairgrounds site. Both council and delegation members agreed that this year's reunion should receive extra promotion in observance of its milestone 25th year. Councillors Tom Cronin and Bill Howson volunteered to sit on a parade committee . with Thresher Association ,members„ Reeve Albert Wasson assured the ,delegation that council was willing to co- operate in any way it could. "You'll receive no hassles from us. We want to see organizations such as yours remain alive and healthy." It was reported that last year's reunion cleared a profit of $1200 despite the un- cooperative weather. Radio System • The P.U.C. has agreed to pay two-thirds of the total $1395.28 installation cost for the two -radio system which can put the clerk in touch with the village foreman in cases of emergency. Since rnany of the emergen- cy calls may deal with hydro and water, council requested a donation from the P.U.C. towards the system. Bus Pick -Up The Huron County board of education has looked into council's concern over the bus pick-up of high school students on Queen Street (Highway 4). Council felt that traffic was being held up too long on the highway when students were loading, especially if the bus waited for those students who were late in arriving. Councillor Bill Manning said he had since timed the loading procedure at 11^e minutes "which .may not seem long but it is if you're waiting behind the bus in your car." The board representative agreed with council's assessment of the situation and the bus driver has been instructed to con- tinue picking up students on Queen Street but to drive around the corner onto King Street East to pick up any students who may be late from now on. The board feels that this should eliminate the problem of traffic hold-up but will continue to monitor the situation and has asked council to contact its office if there are any further problems. Land Purchase The purchase of 34 acres of land adja- cent to the Blyth-Hullett Waste Disposal. Site has not been completed be, a survey remains to be done. Council is pur- chasing the land — to be used as a buffer zone for the disposal site — from Lorne Popp for $40,000, with Hullett Township's share being $20,000. Popp is responsible for obtaining the survey and has Made ar- rangements to have, it completed as soon as possible. Allan Peel has expressed an interest i1 renting the land for crops. Some interest has also been expressed in using the house and shed on the land for community groups' meetings. Council agreed, to make a note that Peel's request to rent the land was the first one received but said an on-site meeting with input from Hullett Township would have to take place before any decision about renting the land or the buildings could be made. Milkhouse Drain Siep Bosma is being allowed to go ahead and connect his milkhouse drain to the village's sanitary se er system. Wayne Rouse, Ministry o the Environment. sewage plant atten nt; Phil Paquette of the Huron County Health Unit; councillor Tom Cronin and plumber Lyle Youngblut, have reviewed the situation. The discharge material from the drain has been found acceptable. However, monitor- ing will continue. Road Subsidy Council has applied for its allocation of $35,400 from the Ministry of Transportation and Communication on $149,098.62 worth of street and road maintenance and repairs made in 1985. Although the village overspent accor- ding to the ministry allocation, Clerk Larry Walsh said it was still underbudget on the costs estimates, for the amount of work that had to be -one: . Besides the MTC allocation, Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Plan (ONIP) funds will also help to offset costs. Dining Lounge Licence An application has been submitted by Harvey Wayne Diemert for a dining room licence for the the Village Restaurant. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is present- ly reviewing the application and council has been told that if it wishes to comment, a submission must be made to the bond by February 25. Council received and filed this informa- tion. Donations Council has turned down, a request from the Tuckersmith Day Care Centre for a contribution of $114.73 to cover the share of their . operating deficit according to the number of children from Blyth who have attended (four children for a total of 95 days). Councillors agreed that they wanted a financial record from the centre and more information on the services rendered before considering such a contribution. A letter has been received from the Clin- ton Public Hospital thanking council for its 1985 donation of $1500. It was reported that 73 patients from Blyth used the hospital in 1985, representing 51 per cent of the total number of patients.
