Grand Bend Official Sees County Assessment System As More Costly Grand Bend—A county assess- ment system, now being consid- ered by Lambton County coun- cil, would triple Grand Ben's assessing costs, village clerk Murray Desjardins predicted Monday. Mr. Desjardins, who is also village assessor, told Grand Bend council that assessing here now costs $800 in salary plus stationery. He estimated the village's share of a county system at $2,500. He made the comments after council urged Reeve Stewart Webb, chairman of the county's assessment committee, to vote for a county system when the matter comes before county council. Mr. Desjardins agreed that the trend to county assessing could not be s t o p p e d, but warned that under a county system, the village's business assessment would go up be- cause outside assessors probab- ly would not consider the sea- sonal nature of the resort busi- ness. Mr. Desjardins added that the system would mean all mu- nicipal assessors would lose their jobs. In other business, council gave two readings to a by-law that will be submitted to voters in December. It would extend the voting franchise to all British subjects, 21 years or older, who have lived in Grand Bendat least one year. Voting is current restricted to property owners and tenants. Two reading were also given to a by-law to increase the fee for a transient trader's licence from $100 to $200. Russel T.
