tinued.-

forests and farm residences will be
assessed 'at market value. Farmland,
farm buildings and managed forests

value and the taxes will be paid .by the
Province. Farm residences will be
taxed as all other residences at 50 per-
cent of market value and the taxes will
be paid by 'the owner. There will be
provision to recover taxes paid by the
Province if the property changes use.

of a business including government
administrative facilities will be subject
to an additional assessment of 50 per-
tcaexlt of market value for business
s

10. 'Assessment on provincial government
property will be pooled and assigned
between the public and separate ele-
mentary schools in the same propor-
tion as the taxable assessment as-
signed by the owners and occupants
of. residences.
11. Costs. shared among municipalities
will be shared on the basis of, the
assessment on which taxes and pay-
ments in lieu of taxes are based.
12. Where assessment is to be used to
determine the grant to be paid. to a
municipality, the assessment used
will be the assassment on which taxes
and payments in lieu of taxes are
based.'

will apply to the assessment of all'real
property in Ontario, including areas
without municipal organizations.

grant purposes.

relate property taxes to the ability to

Last week I commented on the
catchy weather ei3nditions for
those who still had hay in the field
and said also that the rain had
boosted the crops. I was not
thinking of the weeds and the
lawns that "due to the wet
conditions" had to be neglected.
Big Centennials were taking
place all around us and I would
have taken in some of them had
the weather co-operated. How-
ever we decided to go fishing. Not
that I am much of a fisherman,
but I happen to know a chap at
Hanover who is, and promised to
come up any time and he would
be glad to show me where and
how.
But like other bad luck I had
last week, he was out of town, so
we had to settle for a "speckled
trout" dinner at the Golf Club
restaurant north of Mount Forest.
Saturday looked like a better
day and as I had some business in
town, I also wanted to take in the
Huron Mosquitoes Soccer tour-
nament played in Seaforth.
Teams were: Goderich, Clinton,
Exeter and St. Columban, but
Goderich failed to show:
Exeter beat Seaforth, Clinton
and St. Columban were hard at it
when I arrived, and at half time,
there was no score. I was unable
to stay longer, but am advised St.
Columban won by a narrow 2.1
score.
They then played Exeter taking
that one 2-0, winning the tourna-
ment and the trophy that they had
won last year. Joe Visser can well
be proud of his Mosquitoes again
this year.
I intended seeing the Sr. game
played Sunday between London -
St. Columban, but again "hard
luck", I was unable to attend, I
understand there was a large
crowd and again St. Columban
won by 3-0.
Yesterday Monday, I got to
thinking if I don't soon cut this
lawn, I'll have to get someone to
forage it and put it M,a silo. So,
not contemplating any trouble, I
oiled up my old rider and started,
After about half an hour the
chain came off. After a few
minutes figuring out why, I
tightened a couple loose bolts and
ready to go again, gave the rope a
pull and broke the repel
Did you ever break the rope on
a recoil starter? Luckily this
broke so that 1 could use it again,
and didn't have to get a new rope.
It was time consuming but I go .t
the lawn finished, now for the
weeds.
I only mention these items to
show, while I'm not supposed to
be doing anything, you can have
hard luck doing even that.
