not been prosecuting most

the grant be returned.
Speaking on an amendment to
the Assessment Act, which will
delay the application of market
value assessment for another
year, Ed Good, Liberal Member
for Waterloo North, said that it
was obvious that market value
assessment is not going to be the
be-all and end-all of the
inequities that exist in our
taxation system.
He said already in some areas,
market value assessment,
represents as low as 50 per cent to
60 to 65 per cent of today's market
value. Already the equity has
gone out of what we call market
value assessment.
When market value
assessment is brought in, there
will still be the greatest need for
equalization factors. There will
still be the greatest need to look
at the assessment and see at what
levels each classification of
property will be taxed and there
will be the need to try to remake a
proper relationship between so-
called market value assessment
on residential property and
market value assessment on
industrial and commercial
property.
Mr. Good said that the Liberal
Party told the Government way
back when they started talking
about taking over the assessment
function in this province, that
there was nothing wrong in many
of the areas of this province,
because there was equity within
the taxation area among the
various classifications of
property.
Local municipalities respon-
sible for their own assessment
did assess various classifications
of property at various per-
centages of market value. Some
municipalities were assessing
residential property at 23, 25 or 27
per cent of market value.
Apartment buildings were
assessed at 45 or 50 per cent,
industrial and commercial at 100
per cent.
That was acceptable by the
people in those days. There were
assessments that were not being
done properly, but hadthe
government at that time given
some money to the municipalities
and made mandatory the use of
the assessment handbook the
assessment problems could have
been solved or improved con-
siderably.
But instead the Government
took over the whole assessment
function, and along with the
taking over the assessment,
existing assessment on buildings
at that time were frozen.
Along with the freezing of the
assessment, the equalization
factors were frozen, and those
factors that involve the payment
of levies among the
municipalities - from area to
region or from township to
county. The equalization factors
that were frozen were those used
for the province giving its grants
to the municipalities. Instead of
things getting better in the last 8
years the inequities have been
perpetuated.
Mr. Good said that there has
been too much emphasis laid on
what market value assessment is
going to do do to bring about the
solution to the inequities that
exist.
The rolls will be returned in
1977 for 1978 taxation and if the
rolls are brought in early in the
