BY ALICE GIBB
Assessment com-
missioner Floyd .Jenkins,
speaking to Huron
Federation of Agriculture
members in Belgrave
Thursday night, on the
subject of tax
equaliiation factor's, told
his audience "somebody
organized a horse race
before .there were any
horses."
He said the big change
is that factors for rural
municipalities have
decreased to a greater
extent than they have in
urban municipalities
across the county. This
rneans "costs to rural
taJcpayers will increase
much more rapidly than
to urban municipalities,"
the assessment com-
missioner said.
He told the audience he
doesn't know how these
factors will be used in
assessing 1980 taxes and
said "anything you hear
Or read is strictly sup-
position at this time." He
said a "wait and see"
attitude is called for.
Mason Bailey, an
audience member, told
Mr. jenkins, "I don't
think the public cares
about all this rigamarole
other than how much
money we're going to
pay."
• Mr. Jenkins said, "You
don't know and I don't
know that our taxes are
going to go up."
The matter is now in
the hands of the
provincial government
and a decision from the
legislature is expected
early this fall. Then
municipalities will have
between that time and
November 1 to appeal the
equalization factors.
Mr. Jenkins said there
isn't any way to find out
more information until
the provincial govern-
ment makes their
decision.
Another federation
member ' asked the
assessment corn-
missioner if the basis for government put a freeze
