The Huron County Health Unit has been operating for al- most 10 years while that in Perth has° beenin operation about a year Dr. Martin said smaller units have major pre b- Ienis — cost is high in relation to- population but no problems where population is higher. Last year task forces were set up to look into the set up and snake recommendations to the provincial health minister. The council of health has rec- ommended fewer health units to Serve more people which will permit additional programs.

Single Copley 12 Co1I 4+O a; Yea,r *kW* r The appeals in the main, arose' following a reassessment of land carried -out during the past year by assesser Donald Haines, It had been determined . that M many cases across the town, .land' assessment no longer re fleeted the 30% of value re- garded as the proper basis for assessment under the existing arrangement in Huron. Huron is one of three area counties which does hot subscribe the basis of 75% of value reeom. mended by the province. Chairman of the court of re- vision, Councillor James Kelly, presided. Members of theicourt are Mayor F. Kling, Reeve C. Dalton and Councillors Betty Cardno and Jean Henderson. The Seaforth assessor Don Haines and county assessor Alex eleeanfler were in attendan Nearly half the ,appeals were of a, routine nature, involving changes in ownership, rebates on business asseseineet or: tax and adjustment of ..,cl'eric'al ors.in, each case necessary changesin the records were tee • proved. The 'court endorsed; the principal on which the assess ment in the balance of appeale • was based. - In considering the remainder of the appeals the court pointed out how assessments were deter- mined. etermined. In Huron 30% of the value of urban land is regard- edas the basis of assessment and with rising land costs as- sessments in many cases had failed to keep .pate. It was this situation that proznpted the re- assessment.
