Q: What is a fixed assessment, and why is it
granted?
A.: A fixed assessment is an assessment
granted for a specified term and generally in an
amount less than otherwise would apply. It is
granted to encourage new and old industries, and
to ease in some measure the costs involved in the
provision of new facilities. The granting of a fix-
ed assessment is a conunon occurrence where it
is desired to encourage industry. It is made pos-
sible by provisions of the Ontario Assessment Act.
Q: In what amount is the assessment to be
fixed, and for how long ?
A.: The fixed assessment for the new shoe
factory is proposed at an amount equal to the
assessment on the present plant. It is for a period
of 10 years.
Q.: At the end of 10 years, can the fixed assess-
ment be ;continued.,
A.: No; it cannot be renewed.
Q.; When is the fixed assessment used as the
basis for levying taxes ?
A: Only with respect to the general rate and
the county rate. School taxes and local improve-
ment taxes will be paid on the true assessment.
Q.: What will be the true assessment of the
factory ?
A.: This amount cannot be determined until
construction is completed. It will be in an
amount, however, consistent with the assess-
ment on similar factories in Seaforth and
throughout Huron County, as determined by the
local and county assessors.
Q.: Does the fixed assessment affect other pro-
perties owned by the Company, such as the for-
mer Public School building?
A, No. The fixed assessment applies only to
the new factory now being erected on West Wil-
liam Street.
Q.: What would happen if next year the new
factory was enlarged by the construction of an
addition ? Would the fixed assessment cover this
too ?
A,: No. Any addition to the building now being
erected would be assessed in the regular manner.
Q.: Why does the name "J. A. Johnston Com-
pany Limited" appear in the bylaw when the fix-
ed assessment is for the Seaforth Shoes Limited
factory ?
A.: Seaforth Shoes Limited is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the J. A. Johnston Company Limit-
ed, which owns the land on which the new fac-
tory is located,
Q.: Could not the same results be achieved by
rebating a portion of the taxes each year ?
A.: No; because rebates of • taxes must be
agreed to each year by Council, and since a
Council cannot bind a succeeding Council, there
is no assurance of continuity.
T
Q.; What effect will the fixed assessment have
on the amount of taxes the average ratepayer
will pay ?
A.: The increase in the town -wide assessment
resulting from the construction of the new fac-
tory will, everything being equal, tend to snake
possible a lower tax rate.
Q.: Who may vote ?
A.: Every person who is entered on the voters'
list as a property owner, and who is assessed in
excess of $200.
Q.: I and a property owner, but my name has
been left off the list ? Hew 'may I vote ?
A.: The Town Clerk may issue a certificate to
you which entities you to vote, providing you
have been assessed as owner.
Q.: By what majority must the by-law be ap-
proved to come into effect ?
A.: The by-law must receive the approval of
two-thirds of the qualified ratepayers who vote.
Q.: What happens if the by-law is defeated ?
A,: The Council, after full consideration of all
matters involved, has considered the request of
the Company for a fixed assessment as being fair
and reasonable, and on this basis places the by-
law before the ratepayers. Anything that was
done in the event the by-law was defeated, would
be as a result of action by the Company. It
would be reasonable to assume that the Conte-
any would consider such a defeat as indicating
lack of interest on the part of the ratepayers in
the employment it offers here. A defeat undoubt-
edly would spell the end to any additional expan-
sion the Company may contemplate and would
be a discouragement to other industry. Remem-
ber, if industry cannot obtain fixed assessment
here it will go to other towns where such assist-
ance is offered freely:
Q.: Should I vote for the fzxed assessment by-
law ?
y -law?
A.: By all means ! Approval will indicate that
Seaforth citizens appreciate the contribution
that Seaforth Shoes is making to the community.
Not only is the Company increasing local en1-
ployinent by a substantial amount, but at the
same time its construction program has resulted
in a new building area being opened up. This
provides added assessment. Seaforth Shoes is
looking to the future and is contemplating fur-
ther expansion. In the interests of the whole
community you are urged to support and vote
for the fixed assessment by-law.
Q.: When do I vote ?
A.: On Wednesday, December 10th, 1958, at
the same time as you vote in the municipal elec-
tions.
Q.: When are the polls open ?
A.: Polis are open from 9 a.m. until 6 pan.,
and are located as follows: Polling Subdivisions
1 and 2 at Seaforth Il9;otors; No. 3 and 4. at Car-
negie Library, and 5 and 6 at Clarke's Garage.
