Globe and Mail If the tax-exempt property in Toronto' exclusive of that municipally owned, were taxed like other real estate the revenue would pay most of the city's share of direct relief. This is not the cure for exorbitant taxation, but while the cities and towns are looking for heads to hit they might profitably consider the top- heavy exemptions. The subject is not simple. Most communities beg Federal and Provincial Governiments to tax the people for new buildings to be serviced at municipal expense. Schools and other munici- pal buildings are erected with an easy conscience as to the cost imposed on private property. It seems senseless for a Provincial Government to insist that its multitude of profit-making liquor stores should be tax-free when it has to dip into its treasury to finance the municipalities. The Canadian Federation of Mayors and Munièipalities called attention to some outstanding examples of fax-exemption in its brief submitted to the Rowell Commission. Esquimait, B. C., with $2,700,000 in taxable land and buildings, has exemp- tions totalling $9,155,000 in Federal Governmeflt property. Monc- ton's taxable real estate is valued at $ l, 333,000 and Federal Government exemptions are assessed at $Ï1.000,000. The Cana- dian Farm Loan Board anel Soldiers' Settlemnent Board hold that their lands are non-taxable. Montreal had an assessment valuation of $930,000,000 fax- ed in 1936 and the exemptions aggregated $3 18,796,000. Toronto's exemptions amounted to $158,836,000, compared wlth a taxable assessment of $979,697,000 . Hamilton's taxable assessmeflt of $164,266,000 carrîed $30,863,000 exempt. Figures for a few other Ontario municipalities in 1936 were: London, $81.918.000 taxable, $11,846,000 exempt; Kitchener, $26,122,000 taxable, $3,599,000 ex- empt; Brantford, $27,107,000 taxable, $6,014,000 exempt; Kings- ton, $17,1 24,000 taxable, $8,559,000 exempt; Oshawa, $1 5,576,000 taxable, $1,739,000 exempt; Peterborough, $24,483,000 taxable, $3,774,000 exempt; Niagara Falls, $1 8,207,000 taxable, $8,776,000 exempt; Sarnia, $17,644,000 taxable, $2,424,000 exempt; North Bay, $9,519,000 taxable, $2,164,000 exempt; St. Thomas, $15,040,- 000 taxable, $2,679,000 exempt; Gaît, $10.822,000 taxable, $2,- 647,000 exempt; Owen Sound, $8,463,000 taxable, $1,934,000 ex- empt; Welland, $9,908,000 taxable, $1,736,000 exempt. There is room for debate as f0, whether or not the munici- pal governmenfs fhemnselves should not levy taxes on ail munici- pal properfy, alfhough if would be a mere matter of bookkeeping. If the People were informed through each annual budget the amnount of non-collectable taxes on all classes of public properfy and other realfy they would have a more complete picture of their financial affairs.
