Town Will Get Market Value The Ontario Government elimina- ted any hope local politicians had of implementing market value assess- ment and tax reform in the next few years last week. However, this is not going to deter Newcastie's mayor !rom trying to squeeze it in the back d1oor. Mayor Garnet Rickard said that this municipality would move as close to market value assessrqent as possible under the Municipal Act regardless of what the provincial treasurer has to say. Darcy lvfKeough, the treasurer, stated the Ontario Government was shelving the nine-year-old legisla- tion concerning the implementation of market value assessment and tax reform. No reason has been given by the gQvernment for this move, although there is speculation that the recent development in Cali- fornia, where taxpayers over- whelmingiy voted in favor of reducing property tax, may have had somethng to do with it. Market value assessment would have increased taxes in Toronto under the proposed system. "This Mvuicipality would have been a winner,' said the mayor. "Metro would have to pick up a little bit. In Newcastle, the province would have to pay us a tremendous amount of money because of their holdings: the Hydro corridors, Darlington provincial pUark, the forestry area, and al their other holdings. "We stiil have terrible inequities in our wards. There are properties assessed at $50 in Newcastle that we feel are worth $90,000. Others are assessed at $670 and are worth $470,000. There is ail sorts of property with only nominal assess- ment that has got to start paying its way."> According to Mayor Riekard, the people who would be hit hardest by market value assessment are those owning vacant land and not deveiop- ing it in the hope that prices will rise. H1e claimed that it would be the fairest system of taxation available. "If someone can come up with a better system I'm ready to listen, there's nop oint in criticizing something and tearing it down if you don't have something to replace it," he said. This recent decision by the province wili also affect the miii rate in town. Last week, the finance committee met to discuss two proposais for determining the miii rate. One of these proposais was to conduct assessment and ievy taxes in the same manner as last year. The other calied for new eqùalizing factors and returning to a 1975 base for assessment. Now, both -of these proposais are being considered for elimination in favor of a entireiy new system of assessment that the mayor and treasurer have been working on for some months now. "It (the new method of assess- ment being used) will take us part of the way to market value assess- ment." Mayor Rickard stated. "We still haven't got proper assessment on vacant land, but we're equaiizing assessment within the municipal- ity."y According to the mayor,, this new system being proposed is the best y et.' The province was consulted on it last week and saw no problems with what the town was attempting to do. The mayor emphasized when hie released details on this new system that hie was still open to suggestions if anyone feit they had a better system of assessment on levying taxes.' He said that in devising the new system they followed three major principies. The biggest basic p rinci- pie foilowed was that residents of the samne town should pay the' same residential assessment in one ward as they do in another ward. "The'largest single component of assessment in municipalities is residential," said the mayor, "and the iargest single component of that is single famiiy dweilings. We established the average market value assessment of a single family dwelling in each ward andf then said that for every $1,000 of assessment, the home owner wouid have to pay so many dollars in taxes." The mayor stated that the town's staff went right back to the basic figures, removed ail of the differing rates and equaiizing factors, in order to come up with this new system. "My concern is to come up with the fairest system for the whoie municipaiity," hie stated. "I've been concerned with that for four years now." Trent University today announced that it has passed the $3,500,000 objective of its Second Decade Fund. Three years after Trent began its third fund-raising campaign, it is able to report a total commitment of Just over $3,600,000. David M. Woods, chairman of Trent's board of governors and overail chaîrman of the campaiga, said that its success is "a tribute to the reputation which Trent and its teaching program have acquired and to the affection and respect which alumni, the Peterborough community and others hold for the university." t reflected, too, he said, "the energy and time given to the campaign by literally scores of volunteers." Mr. Woods particularly praised the Peterborough division of the fund. "At a time Celebrate 5Oth Wedding Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Lootsma, 223 Libertv Street North.

The answer to this is the environment. It is not oniy air pollution that is bad for the hair but of real economic difficulty in this community, Peter- borough workers, businesses and corporations were able to donate nearly $800,000 to Trent's fund-raising campaign. This speaks highly for their commitment to the university and to the community." The bulk of the objective, about ' $2,350,000 was earmarked for capital projects, including Trent's new recreation building. The balance of more than $1,200,000 wîll be devoted to acquisitions for the library, funds for scholarships and bursaries, research and special academic programs. T.E.W. Nind, the president of Trent, said that in the academic area private support would enable the University to continue its pioneering work in multi- disciplinary programs such as Canadian studies, native studies, environmental and resource studies, and the audio library through which books are taped for handicapped students. "Private Funds are vital to the modern university," said Professor Nind. "0f course, it's especially gratifying that Trent has been able to attract such support for its physical and acadtemic programs." Through its national division, the Second Decade Fund raised $1,391,800 from corporations, foundations and gifts and bequests from individuals. The Trent Valley division raised $795,300 and the university division $218,400. Government grants to special projects, including a Wintario grant for the recreation building, and prograrns amounted to $1,197,100. Nearly 3,000 individual donations were made to the fund.
