WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
You still have time to appeal your 1983 assessment if you feel your.
home or business property has been improperly assessed.
Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax
you pay depends on it, in that the assessed value of your property is
multiplied by your municipal and school mill rate to determine your
1984 property taxes. 0
Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property owners and
tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open
houses have been held in your area to answer questions and
amend assessment information if necessary. Open house dates
and locations were announced in a previous advertisement.
The Assessment Roll has now been, delivered to your municipality
for the purposes of calculating the amount of taxes you must pay on
your property in 1984. For information on your assessment, the
Assessment Roll is now available for review at your Municipal
Office during regular business hours. If you feel your property has
been improperly assessed, and you have not yet made your appeal
known, you still have until March 7 to deliver or mail an appeal to the
Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not
r+ ceive a Notice of Assessment, you still have the right to
appeal.
Appeal deadline ®March 7,1904
The Assessment Review Board is an impartial body reporting to the
Attorney General of Ontario, which provides you with an additional
opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it
is not fair and equitable with similar properties in your area. The
Review Board is moreliformal and relaxed than a regular court of
law. You may presenr your own case, retain a lawyer or ask a
relative or friend to speak as,your agent.
To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of. Appeal forms are
available from the Assessment Review Board, ,..your Regional,
Assessment Office or your Municipal Office. As well, you can use
the reverse side of a Notice of Assessment or write a letter stating
the property address and roll number, together with your reasons
for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional
Registrar of the Assessment Review Boardllisted below.

Dr. Brian Hanlon, hospital credentials of their staff
chief of staff, agreed that physicians, to make sure
some doctors are reluctant they provide the array of
to refer patients to another skills the hospital needs.
local doctor, "in case they
don't come back," but he
argued against making hard-
and-fast rules.
"Make sure too many
things are not etched in
granite," he told the board,
noting that the Wingham
hospital is a secondary care
centre and not tertiary.
Some patients need the
specialized treatment of a
tertiary hospital, he said,
and a doctor should be free to
make that decision without
going through another
doctor.
He said what the board
should be looking at is cut-
ting down on the number of
paitients who themselves
ask to go to another hospital.
"That shows a lack of con-
fidence in the hospital or the
doctors."
Appendectomies have
been transferred out of this
hospital to Goderich, he said,
when they could have been
done hr.,.
In related business, the
board was informed that the
medical staff has agreed to
have just one doctor
covering the emergency
room on weekends. If a
doctor wants to see his own
patients, he must arrange it
with the emergency room
staff, otherwise any patient
coming for emergency
treatment will have to take
whomever is on call.
There will be a back-up
available in case more than
one doctor is needed to
handle an emergency.
The board also approved
raising the charge for a
private or semi -private room
by five per cent this year.
This brings the daily charge
for a semi -private room to
$27, while the charge for a
private room goes to $51. _
The basic cost of a ward
room has been set by the
Health Ministry at $204 per
day in this hospital.

Huron County residents
will have the opportunity
to examine the concept
of a community -sponsored
health centre at a workshop

and Social Services Council
and the group Women
Today.

time, it. t Rtg . combat the
growing' Oiii4lization of
decision-making by restor-
ing control of its affairs to
the community.
"The concept has come out
of a kind of anger at our
present health care system,
which is not meeting the
needs of many . of our
people," explained Dr.
Donald Cole, who will con-
duct the two-hour workshop.
"We have to change
people's sense of in-
volvement before we can
change the patterns of health
and illness in our society."
Dr. Cole is a physician at
the York Community Ser-
vices Centre, a highly -
successful Toronto facility
which employs a team of
doctors, nurses, professional
counsellors and legal work-
ers as well as any army of
volunteer drivers, interpre-
ters, tutors and friendly
visitors.
At present community
health centres in Ontario are
funded jointly by the
ministries of health and of
Legal Aid -Plan and several
sources of municipal fun-
ding. The concept is strongly
supported by the Rural
Learning Association of
Guelph, which sees them as
a means of actively in-
volving communities in their
own health care.
"The opportunity is there
for people to get something
better than sickness in-
surance, to get genuine
preventive and health
maintenance programs that
really meet their needs," Dr.
Cole said.
The workshop will begin at
10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, at

Changes announced
to grant structure
The Ontario government
has announced it will be
implementing a controversi-
al plan to restructure its un-
conditional grants to munici-
palities.
Murray Elston, MPP for
Huron -Bruce, reported late
last week that Claude Ben-
nett, minister of Municipal
affairs and housing, an-
nounced during a speech in
Ottawa that the new formula
will be introduced this year.
To soften the brunt of' the
change, which will signifi-
cantly decrease grants to
many towns and townships
in this area, Mr. Bennett has
promised to phase it in over
one year, Mr. Elston said,

"After that, everything is

He pointed out it is only a
few months since the by-
election 'in eastern, Ontario,
when Mr. Bennett declared
the 'proposed changes were
for discussion purposes only
and would not be im-
plemented. He also noted the
minister has tinkered
slightly with the original
proposal by equalizing police
grants. Previously regions
were granted $17 per capita
for . policing while . county
municipalities got $12.
Wingham Clerk -Treasurer
Byron Adams said Monday
he had not received any
notice of the change, but
understood it would not
significantly .affect the
town's budgeting this year.
However he noted that if
the grants do -go down, the
town will have to make up
the difference from some-
where, "and the only other
source is the taxpayer."
