council members heard an explanation of the pro posed county assessment com mission system at their meeting monday robert beach county assessor and r easton a mem ber of the department of mun icipal affairs explained the pro posal a motion rejecting the proposal was passed following the explanation twenty nine of the 38 counties in ontario employ the county assessment commissioner sys tem now the system carries with it the advantage of being able to imple ment electric data processing equipment this would save con siderable time providing voters lists and computing tax bills and the system would provide equal service to large and small com munities alike he pointed out a shortage of trained assessors under the pre sent system and said high school students could be trained under the proposed plan lir beach said the new assess ing manual will put ratepayers in a better position to know the true value of their property a county court of revision would be set up to hear appeals and they would sit in the township periodically mr gaston explained further advantages add procedures the department will train assessors with the use of the new manual this would include a 37 day cour se involving lessons on resident ial rural commercial sites and the income approach plus train ing in the field this system would allow for specialisation in the various cat egories mr easton said he also said the province would be more generous to a county system than a municipal setup mr beach claimed it would cost nassagaweya less under the proposed system than it does now it would mean a saving of thousands he said as a result of time and labor saved with the electric data machinery and also the community grouping system larger communities would be ex ported to absorb more of the cost than they presently do taxpayers would be educated through press releases on assessment procedures and by means of open houses where they could go to receive explanations this would limit the number of cases going to the court of re vision councillor mrs anne mac- arthur questioned the expense of the project she felt it would cost more in the long run if the system was adopted councillor ross gordon ex pressed disapproval of the sys tem because it would take away the autonomy of the township under the proposed system the township would be represented by councils representatives to county council a motion to refrain from accepting the proposed system and advising county council of the decision was passed at the meeting a theres nothing old fashioned but our concern for quality at
