division at tbe o wj a the editors corner ktrchenerwaterloo know definite postwar positlon at one of the first meetings of the georgetown board of trade russell t kelley of hamilton ad dressed those present as we found his talk of great interest and value to such a postwar planning organiz ation as ours we commented on his ideas quite fully one of mr kelley a best suggestions was that a full sur vey of the town and district be made so that a true pic- rure of wartime conditions and probable postwar con- ditions could be obtained a survey of this type would be a big undertaking and would involve a great deal of time and work on the part of many publicspirited citi zens so far the plan has not been effected here however last week we received through the mail a complete factfinding survey for postwar plann- ing in kitchener- waterloo it contains an amazing amount of detailed information completed by the boards of trade of the twin cities in cooperation with the canadian chamber of commerce this survey is the first comprehensive undertaking of its kind in can ada to estimate the size of the postwar employment problem that of course was its primary purpose its second purpose was to provide a model of methods and procedures by means of which other communities might make similar surveys for themselves the report itself is most significant as it is the representative result of interviews with 900 business firms 2500 farms and nearly 70000 persons the two municipal governments and the county government directly concerned itie survey showed there was a net addition of lc h sexes to the coxnmunities working force of no less 8037 employees jwtween 1939 and 1943 as a result the cities payrolls exactly doubled in the same period after the war averaging both manufacturing nonmanufacturing business establishments a 112 decline in sales and in the number of their eny ovees is expected trading establishments expec their aggregate postwar sales will be 3 annually be low those of 1 943 but they look for an increase in the numbers of their employed working force unemploy ment due to reconversion is likely to be confined to die manufacturing industries affecting only some 600 per sons altogether or 4 of all workers employed in such industries public expenditure on new projects will be greatlyincreased lirtimbercraploycdtherefc increased the survey revealed that postwar employ ment prospects in the twin cities are encouraging with a prospective excess of 1 46 jobs in the two years fol lowing cessation if hostilities with japan which con stitute the surveys target approximately 2500 farms in the four town- ahips were canvassed and it was found that more than 1 200 members of farm families haye left in the past four years there was also a loss of more than 700 hired men nevertheless the demands for increased production have been met though this has been achiev ed only by neglecting the maintenance of farm build ings and equipment during the stress period the re sultant condition is reflected vividly in the farmers postwar purchasing plans which reveal an average postwar outlay per farm of 2133 analysing the purchases it was found that 60 of this amount would be used simply for the renovation of the farms them selves farm income has increased 61 j2 since 1939 and farmers expect a 17 z reduction in their post war incomes from the 1943 level average 3700 a detailed survey of the city and districts post war purchasing plans reveal that a grand total expendi ture of nearly 2l4o0000 is contemplated this ex penditure was broken down into actual items and proposed cost such as washing machines radios etc xu well as larger items more than half this amount willbe spent on housing oftd improvements to housing rathcx more than three million is to be spent on fur- nishings that is to say the home claims 68 of all tfifr planned outlays renovation of farms claims up wards of three million the remaining 18 about 43370000 will be

the town assessor was present to tell members of an important recommendation made at the assessors con vention held in toronto a few weeks ago the recom mendation concerned the method of assessing and pro- poied tharthesatnetosessmgyardstickjbesedjn jdj municipalities in the county such a move would entail the appointment of a county assessor and four counties in the province have already taken this forward step it would be the duty of the county assessor to cover each municipality in addition and check the assessment of the municipal as sessor who would still be retained- he would see that each municipality was using the same yardstick and assessments would likely be on the 100 per cent basis its a known fact that many inequalities exist in the assessments throughout the county because of the dif ferent methods used the plan of appointing a county assessor will be laid beforje our county council in the near future in our opinion altering assessments is a ticklish proposi tion at any time and the plan will doubtless receive pro longed attention before it 13 accepted or rejected hie lifebuoy betokoss ygr incoburio ft wu an- noonom today as jibe talented group of i ptayera
