The Act requires the Government to pay a grant on Federal properties valued at more than four percent of a municipal assessment. JProperties, such as local post offices, that serve the municipalities in which they are located are not taken into account. The Government appoints its own as- « geasors, and the grant is decided by _o.the Finance Department. There is no appeal from, the Minister's. decision.
