Attention Property Owners and Tenants in the
Village of Blyth
WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
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

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.
Fire Board
At the January 15 meeting, of the Blyth
District Fire Area Board; resolutionswere
received from the Township of East -
Wawanosh, West Wawanosh and Hullett
agreeing to the change in their levies as
follows: East Wawanosh - increase from 19
to 20 per cent; West Wawansoh - increa'se
from five to seven per cent; and Hullett -
increase from 27 to 29 per cent.
The total increase of five per cent to the
three townships will eliminate the levy to

Blyth District Fire Area Board. Represen-
tation from Auburn on the fire board will •
continue but in a non-voting capacity.
