conflicting opinions

Thursday's council meeting.

factors as published in June
and asks the province to,
move quickly to implement a,
full program of the
assessment of agricultural)
lands and their relative
values,.
Five townships in the
county have appealed the tax
equalization factors because
they expect costs to rural.
taxpayers willincrease more.
rapidly than urban muni-
cipalities. There is concern
that . rural . factors have
decreased to a greater extent
than in urban municipalities
since the price of land has.
increased drastically.
particularly' in rural areas..
Tax equalization factorshave
been frozen since the early
1970's.
The resolution supported
by Huron County Council
criticizes the implementation
of equalization factors.
because the factors do not

resolve the problems' created
by the lack of property
reform and the proposed;
factors do not relate to
population or the ability of
municipalities to pay.
The resolution states that
the proposed phasing; of tax
increases does, notresolve
the problem of the weighting
of agricultural assessments
for levy purposes, but only
acts to slow the
implementation . of unfair
shifts of the tax burdens.
Deputy -reeve Bob. Allen of
Goderich told council he felt
those township
representatives whose
councils ..had already
approved the equalization'
factors wouldbe
tin themselves. contradicting themse , if
they voted to support a
resolution. asking, . the
province 'to rescind . the
factors,
Bill Elston, reeve of
Morris, said his township has.
appealed, its assessment''
based on the new factors,.
"The. factors are already.
set," he said. "What :good,is
an appeal?" '
"it is unfortunate our
assessment is in such a
mess, and a mess it. is." he
observed.
Seaforth reeve.• John
Flannery said he was on
council when the
municipality . did, its :own
assessing. The •,.province
thought they could de a
better job, said.: Flannery,
"but they are further out on
their assessment than ever
we, were.,
" ;The 'province setthe
factors, let them " contend..
with .them."
Deputy -reeve Aliend told
council there is a discrepancy
in •the waywe think, because
rural and urban areas
conflict.
"Some are paying more
than their share and some
'are not 'paying their share."
Abend commented it is
'better.. to go . ahead with
egtialization until another
system is'developed.
"Let the rural areas lobby
that education taxes should:
' not be based on property
taxes."
