when halton federation of agriculture executive and property committee spent two hours discussing the vital subjects with halton east mpp jim snow snow a member of the select committee which last weec defined a wdrkmg farm arid set tout new guidelines for future taxation of farms went through the select committees remarks on farm taxation in detail although the committees ideas on taxing working farms which meet certain production standards was met with general favor the farmers found ho help on their current problem a countywide reassessing program that has been in the wind for the past two years will see their farm land assessments doubling and tripling throughout llalton this year and the 1968 assessments are what the 1969 taxation will be based upon the mpp admitted he didnt base any answers for tt assessment hike he noted the entire gblden horseshoe area of ontario was having assessing prbblems mostly due to the high value of farm land as evidenced by speculators prices- paid in recent years a week earlier 25- halton farmers had jammed into the masonic haflnear milton to hear county assessor robert beach and the assessors of oakville burlington esquesing and nassagaweya outline why land assessments were going up this year they decided to carry a mass protest right up to the ontario municipal board if necessary following wednesdays meeting with mr snow the executive and property committee of the federation met at length with solicitor rav plant to prepare a protest which will start with appeals against assessment increases at the municipal level mr snow uld the meetjng how the smith report on taxation arid the select committee report differed smith wanted to drop all special smith griffin again won the grand cham- fair nino braida presents the e braida and plon shorthorn award trophy at saturdays son trophy staff photo concessions for farmers from the assessing act but the select committee rejected his idea as we felt this would force the farmers from the land snow said lack of services in rural areas is the main reason fanners are receiving concessions and we found no justification for a farmer to pay for services that are hpt provided if the select committee report is accepted farm dwellings win be assessed as residential properties because they are not part of the working farm a man at the meeting protested this would increase a farmhouse assessment by40 per centl think it means more damn taxes and a lot more too he said a working farm is one that produces s3 000 of gross produce annually or 30 an acre if over 100 acres the mtm explained while this figure may not be applicable throughout all of ontario some jaujdeline was needed and that figure was set a county or regional farm classification board with three members appointed to it by the department of agriculture will sit in each area to sort out disputes and this board might even apply a different figure than 30 an acre and the 3000 minimum mr snow intimated the select committee decided not to discriminate against the farmer who drives a under plow or school but on a part time basis to gain extra incomehe will still be classed as a farmer if he operates a farm that meets the production requirements flower growers and tod farms will not be classed as farmers because they do not produce food he said cattle and livestock operations are included u farms if their excess of sties over purchases is 3000 worth of hay to feed the hones greenhouses which produce tomatoes or cucumbers broiler farms turkey farms and mushroom growers are classed as farmers because they produce food he said whats buck and whiti and seen all over a record number of young holsteins competed in the ring during the livestock show on saturday afternoon little interest nix county welfare office little interest was reflected at halton county council on the establishment of a county welfare office as the council adopted a report suggesting no action reeve w coulter urged the committee to take up the matter in more detail he mentioned the problem experienced at halton manor in getting proper investigation of applicants seeking admission there if it was handled by a county office this difficulty would not occur he suggested presently each municipality has its own welfare officer and in the northern municipalities the clerk handles the work the committee concluded the local welfare administrators were handling general welfare efficiently and there were apparently no significant subsidies being lost through this system the committee also suggested if regional government was established a welfare unit would no doubt be part of it rrrrrrrrtrrrrrrrrtitn for gas appliances tsf avsv richardsons tv appliances i ml main st i miivon t744 thurs fri sat sept 262728
