An artist's impression of the interior of the Canadian. Pacific Railway's new restaurant counter cars which will go
into service soon to feed over 50,000 immigrants which the
railway expects to carry from eastern Canadian ports to points
across the country during 1952. The new cars follow a design
conceived by the CPR's sleeping and dining, colonization, and
Mechanical departments after tests conducted last year with
stripped-down standard dining cars proved the need for newly
designed equipment. Their aim is to provide less costly meals
more quickly in a setting which will make the traveller feel
at ease.

(By George
In 1999. the Provincial Oevern#,
merit realizing the inedetittacipe
of the section of the Municipal
Act, created under the
JLa Fontaine Act of 1640, which
dearth with assessment to some
extent, appointed a commission
limier judge MacLennan to hear
appeale, arguments and .enbraise slops
'
etc., against the assessment
methods laid down In that Act.
The Commission which met for
nearly five years and heard Many
submissions from Boards of
Trade, merchants, labor organiz, ations, municipal officials a n d
single tax advocates among oth-ers, brought in a number -of in,
terim recommendations many -0 Which were incorporated in the
first Assessment Act of 1904
which dealt solely with municipal
assessment and taxation, They
made many recommendations —
the majority of which, with some
Maier and in other instances
Minor amendments, constitutes.
our present Assessment Act,
The woodsman' of Canada's
pulpwood domain is a changed
man. The pulp and paper comp-
anies are now providing more
stable employment and better
conditions both as to camp ac-
commodations and meals. The
woodsman however is still a hard--
working spirited man with a sense
of humor. In Gordon Cosens'
view, he's one of the best types
to be found anywhere.
Cosens has just been appointed
General Manager of Woodlands
operations for all Kimberly-Clark
companierin Canada and the US.
These are largely concentrated in
northern Ontario and northwest-
ern Quebec. He won't talk about
himself, but he will talk about
the future of Canada and of the
northland, about the woodsmen,
regenerating forests and pulp and
paper. When he talks of these
things he is really telling his
whole life's story, for he has de-
voted his working years to Can-
ada's forests. Some of K-C's
limits are steam driven and the
pulpwood floated cheaply; other
sections ship their wood by rail.
Cutting is carried on in a care-
fully-organized plan across its
limits, so much each year in.each
section of each division. This
helps to stabilize costs; otherwise
the cheaper more accessible wood
might be used first and the com-
pany would have to face much
higher costs in the future. It also
reduces the fire hazard by min-
imizing the quantity of "slash" or
brush left in an area in any one
year.
Cosens was born in 1901 hi
Clinton, Ontario of a pioneer
Huron County family. His father
was science teacher at Parkdale
Collegiate in Toronto. Graduat-
ing from University of Toronto in
forestry in 1923, the younger
Cosens worked for pulp and pap-
er concerns for twelve years, then
W. Ames) •.
In 1947 the .Present Minister of
Monicipal Affairs, the Honourable
q, I. Dunbar leek the first eerie
erete step to actively assist mu,.
oleiPalities in assessment by ere,-
sting an Assessinent Branch to
aid and advise municipalities and
assessors in their assessment
problems. In 1950 Mr, Dunbar
Went further by issuing a Mann.,
Al of Assessment Values to be
used as 4' guide by assessors in
determining values for assessment.
POrPoses. The adoption of this
Manual was not made compulsory
but was at the discretion of the
municipalities and the assessors,
County Councils
The form of municipal govern-
ment which we should be most
interOted in is our local muni-
cipal government, Yet we have
another form of municipal gov-
ernment which administers some
municipal services and to pay
for these municipal services a
charge appears in our local tax
bills,
These governments are known
as county councils or territorial
district organizations. In South-
ern Ontario, there are 38 Admire-
istrative County Councils and
they govern certain municipal, services. Their administration for
some purposes includes 97 towns,
150 villages and 429 townships,
and one improvement district.
In Northern Ontario we have
11 Territorial Districts which for
some purposes levy charges rated
on assessment. The charges for
the municipal services dispensed
appear in the tax bills of the
local ratepayers in these territor-
ial districts and they comprise
five cities, 46 towns, ten villages,
144 townships and 16 improve-
ment districts.
(An explanation of why we as
ratepayers should be vitally in-
terested in the assessment of oth-
er municipalities besides our own
will appear in the next article.)

Lorne Scrimgeour, Blyth, pres-
ided for the election of officers
which resulted as follows; Hon.-

The outstanding changes were
that the value of the property
was to be considered and not the
type or class of construction; that
the actual value of farm land
instead of the type Of soil was to
determine the assessment value;
that business asse`ssment was to be
levied 'on the value' of land and
buildings used for such business
instead of such hypothetical and
hard to ascertain methods as
amount of trade and stock on
hand at the time of the-assessor's
c.
Taxed On Real Value
In that • period they placed
more reliance on the selling value
of property than we wisely do to-
day, in view of the demand for
housing accommodation which
governs the selling price biirnot
the real or actual value.
In 1940 an- amendment to pro-
vide for the appointment of
County Assessors was brought in-
to force, As this amendment is
very important, it will be dealt
with in a later article. In 1946
the provisions which dealt with
the method of ascertaining assess-ment values were amended and'
these changes are now contained
in Section •33.

end became Dean of Forestry in
1942. In 1947 he returned to pulp
and paper with Kimberly-Clark.
Asked about cropping the forests,
he says he thinks the paper com-
panies are conscientiously trying
to treat the trees as a crop,
Since it takes spruce pulpwood
in northern Ontario 100 years to
reach maturity, this requires an
extremely long-range view. Add
to this the need for knowledge,
as he explains, "A tree's growth
is as complicated as that of a
human being. Medical men can't
give all the answers about peo-
ple, we can't give all the details
about tree growth: We are pro-
gressing as quickly as we learn.n
