Morris gets explanation of last year's tax factor After months of discussion and confusion on Morris Township Council regarding the basis of last year's assessment factor, the town- ship finally persuaded two representatives from the assessment office in Goder- ich to attend a council meet- ing and explain how assess- ments were derived on cer- tain properties. Ken Fagan and Ted East of the assessment office spent almost two hours Tuesday evening reviewing township properties assessed last year to set Morris' factor. Aside from a few concerns, council members seemed relatively satisfied with their ex- planations. . Council's main concern involves rural residential properties and whether or not they were being used as typical examples for farm- land assessments. Councillor Ross Proctor explained that special types of residential properties, such as a home on a 10 -acre parcel, should not be con- fused with farmland, adding that homes on smaller properties should not be used to assess homes on large farms. "If you put a full urban value on all of the houses, you'll take a lot off the land." Mr. Fagan admitted that a 10 to 50 -acre property might not necessarily be an economical farm unit. "But where do you draw the line? When does it become economical?" He assured the council there are not a lot of properties in the township in that category and therefore they would not set the trend. Reeve Bill Elston men- tioned that assessments based on actual sales might be unrealistic. "A farmer may pay $10,000 more for Recreation Report BY RENNIE ALEXANDER Rec, Director The Wingham Recreation Department would like to thank all those people who have helped to make the past summer program a great success. In almost every activity the registrations exceeded last year's enroll- ment. This certainly reflects the high quality summer staff and programs. A short preview of the fall recreation program is as follows: ballet, badminton, basketball, judo, children's live theatre, girls' , gym- nastics, ringette, parent and tot learn to skate and adult recreation skating. Minor hockey and figure skating registrations are available at the recreation office. ice rentals are now avail- able. Any group wishing to rent the ice should contact the recreation office at 357- 12(18. land simply for con- venience." He explained a landowner may pay a higher price for a farm because it is situated beside the farm at which he resides. "We have taken a second look at sales like that and are aware of most of those cases. We feel we have been realistic," said Mr. Fagan. After the meeting Mr. Elston said arguments about last year's township, factor are over and the factor for this year should be finalized soon. In other business the council recommended the approval of a severance t 1 application from Ernest and Annette Lewington. The township had objections to the application originally because it allowed for a 25 - foot roadway for the pur- chaser of the severed property. Council members felt this was not wide enough. However the Lewingtons have ammended their application to allow for a 50 -foot roadway. A drainage petition was accepted .from Richard Kufske for the north half of Lot 26, Con. 5. The request was for a cleanout and Deputy Reeve Thomas Miller was named com- missioner. An undetermined member of council will attend meet- ings in Owen Sound and London this month regarding new policies on basic and core public health services and their availability to Ontario residents. Apparent- ly these new policies, by the Ministry of Health, will be fazed m the new Health Pro- tection Act over a five-year period beginning April of 1981. Clerk -Treasurer Nancy Michie explained the Letter inviting council members to the meetings does not ex- plain what the new policies are. Capacity Crowds wherever they go!
