All that's required on the part of the young writers is a return address (very important) and c^rt nrnrer postal address: Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada, HOH 0110. Last year, more than 45,000 letters from Santa found their way to children in the region, wh6ther they lived in large cities like Windsor, London or Hamilton, in small hamlets like Bornholm or Blytheswood, or out in the countryside. This year, with more than 400 post offices involved in the program, it's hoped that another five to ten thousand letters will sent on behalf of the jolly old elf. For their part, volunteers in post offices' large and small are spreading the word about this special seasonal service, and are devoting a lot of time and effort in making sure that no child is forgotten this Christmas.

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT and your 1985 Municipal and School Taxes Regional Offices located throughout Ontario are responsible for assessing all real property for the purposes of municipal and school taxation. The resulting Assessment Rolls are delivered to municipalities which use them to set their mill rates and compute municipal property tax bills. The amount of property tax you pay on your home or business depends on the assessed value and the mill rate set by your municipality. The assessed value multiplied by the mill rate will determine your 1985 property taxes. Open House Sessions Open Houses are your opportunity to fully understand your assessment and to evaluate its equity. Open Houses are held in every municipality at convenient times and locations, to provide you with the opportunity to discuss your assessment with staff of the Regional Assess- ment Office. An assessor will be pleased to explain the basis of your property assessment and is authorized to amend any information as may be necessary prior to the delivery of the Assess- ment Roll to your municipality. If you have any questions but are unable to attend the Open House, please contact your Regional Assessment Office at the address or telephone number shown below. Assessment Notice Property owners and tenants will receive an Assessment Notice only if information regarding their property or assessment was " changed during the past year, if the assess- ment was appealed last year, or if the prop- erty has been reassessed under section 63 of the Assessment Act. If you receive an Assessment Notice, it may reflect changes you have requested in your school support designa- Onta io TOWN OF GODERICH Ministry of Revenue tion, in the amount of your assessed value, or other recorded information on last year's Notice. Appeal Procedure If, after attending your local Open House, you are still dissatisfied with your assessment, you have a right to appeal it to the Assessment Review Board. The Assessment Review Board conducts informal hearings and is responsible for determining whether the assessment under 'appeal is fair and equitable with the assess- ments of similar properties in the vicinity or neighbourhood, and may alter your assess- ment accordingly. Appeal Deadline The final date for appealing your assessment is January 9, 1985. Your appeal must be forwarded, either on a Notice of Appeal Form or as a letter, to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board on or before January 9, 1985, noting your property address, Roll Number and the reason for the appeal. To assist you in this regard, Notice of Appeal forms and the address of the Regional Regis- trar of the Assessment Review Board are avail- able at Open Houses, your Regional Assess- ment Office, or your municipal office.
