jg the aqiqn rt purs acton ontario lfshsm new plant halton county miwmen h been tell ted for this year and it i to be hoped thai toon will emerge a plan that will unify the rwme of equalized it it ome years now ilnce a coun ty assessor with staff wai installed in office to carry out a plan of assessing that had approval of thjs provincial department experts from queen s park assisted in giving direction to the plan and the task of completely revising assess ment procedure was undertaken we believe tome bookt were supplied to make the plan uni form some of us recall when a municipal officer was a man who did all assessing police work and practically all the work of the town it took a man of exceptional ability and under present arrangements we doubt if such a man could be found to do all these obs it was to improve our assessing and equalizing of municipal tax allot ment that the present system was inaugurated it waslso felt that costly court proceedings of arriving at an equalized figure would be avoided the recenf court ruling on equalization has shown that the plan isjahrorr successful work ing on evidence produced the court has decided that four of the municipalities of the county were unequally assessed it may be that some years later and after several more interpretations of proper assessment with fairness to all a plan may be evolved that will be nearer perfection the fact remains that in halton the new assessment plan did not eliminate court proceedings to get an equalized basis the same procedure was necessary that was used over 30 years ago those who pay taxes may well ask how long it will take to get the new system working and what are the planners at queen s park doing to make their system operative being a pioneer in such now schemes of improvement has its handi caps it might be interesting to know what the plan has cost in halton to date and t this time to make a study of its value in a speech on honesty mark ttroin said that as a boy h saw a cart of melons which sorely tempted him i sneaked up to the cart and stole a melon 1 went into the alley to devour it but i no toontr ttt my teeth into it than i paused a strange feeling came oner me t camt to a quick conclusion firmly i walked up to that cart replaced that melon and took a ripe one sidewalks for rent every winter there seems to be a surplus of town sidewalks in spring and summer side walks are quite a convenience for pedestrians but come the first fall of snow and a lot of their usefulness disappears under the snow an un shovelled sidewalk isn t as easy to walk upon as a well plowed roadway and the pedestrian takes to the roadway and increases the danger of ec cidents we don t know the solution the chap over 50 is continuously being reminded that it is dan gerous to his heart to shovel snow the chaps under 50 have grown up in the motor age and are more and more inclined to give up walking and shovelling we have heard folks argue and point to ex amples of towns and cities where the clearing of sidewalks is another service performed by the municipality where such is the case the cost is of course another item that makes municipal taxes and rents higher somebody has to be paid for every service performed there was a time when thespeaalists field was quite a narrow one we may yet see the day when the chore of clearing sidewalks which any boy can do will become a specialized job and of course every school boy knows a specialist is a highly paid individual ifs rather interesting to note that seldom are applications made to councils for new sidewalks during the winter months for rent signs are not common these days but for the next month or two such signs might wett adorn certain side walks in town we speak for that fast dimmish ing part of our population who are strll pedes trians and have rights as well as those who travel almost exclusively by motor car if you don t pet everything you icant think oj trie thrno you dont pet that you dont want sy thi todb old days mav have seemed better now fields satuday afternoon we spent some tune c b l studios with don falrbalrn raid forsee and the staff who help prepare the neighborly i ews broadcast for sunday mornings don it yo ing away next week and he editor and son jim have agreed 10 fill in on january ifh in his ab sence it has been some yeau since we visited a radio station and in those years the buildings and equipment have changed used to be everything went on the air from the studio andperformers had to be before the microphone at the lime of broadcasting we had the privilege on saturday of viewing the equiprnent now in use news gathering machines tape and disc recording equipment and all the other gadgets were in view in other words we made a back shop tour of radio on saturday and found it most inlerest mg of course the real otfject of our visit was to get acquainted with those who help prepare items from the 210 weekly newspapers each week and scan every column to see that not one birthday of those over 90 is overlooked we re re lieved to find it s only don fairbairn who is being absent on january 25 and the staff of expenenc ed helpers will remain behind to guide us and arrange the broadcast we assure you that after the week end of january 25 it will be some years lefore our next visit as we have said before we do not change our positions at our years and are glad the broadcast is to be shared jointly by the editor and one of his sons neu lor forma hoi e been imuut they iaru only a itltle from last year in form only in essence ihcy are the tame you pay one omment says they will save you a lot of rouble and irritation now isn i that nice the weather with one of the worst ice storms in several years in the district there isn t any subject much more important this week than the weather some of us can remember the winter days when the weather became beastly in the winter months we ust stayed indoors until it moderated a day or so wasn t so important and it gave some lime to catch up with reading and indoor activity of course the wood box had to be kept filled and some outdoor excursions were necessary but visiting out of town was not considered it s different today since we have become mechanized an ice storm can be crippling to everyone travel by motor car is treacherous hydro service and telephone communications have a record of continuous service which when interrupted seem mdispensible every factory and home has equipment that makes electric power essential this goes for the farm today as well as the urban home when you pick up the telephone and communication is not possible until lines are repaired you seem shut in yes the weather is a very important factor in our conduct of business and home life man has done many things for greater living comfort but when the weather gets beastly he is still pretty well licked until it moderates back in 1903 pram ike lasue el la pre praa at thursday jsnaary is i ml
