No Service Charge OSHAWA _ 57 King St. East DO O@ The controversial county as- sessment. system received an- other veto at the September session of Ontario County Coun- cil. It was only defeated by a narrow margin -- 22 to 17 -- and supporters of the system said the motion would likely be brought up again. 3 Clifford Laycox, reeve of Pickering Township introduced the motion calling for the sett- ing up of a county assessment system under a county assess- ment commissioner. Mrs. Jean McPherson, deputy reeve of Pickering, Township, voted against the motion. Adked later why Mrs. Mec- Pherson took this action, Reeve Laycox said, "She will vote against anything that I am in favor of."

PERRY 5 of the clan. up a system: -- WHITBY OPPOSED Reeve Everett Quantrill and Deputy Reeve George Brooks of the Town of Whitby, made it clear that Whitby Council wants no part of a county sys- tem. Mr. Laycox' motion said that since the main source of the tax revenue of local municipalities and the gounty levy is based on assessment of real property, it is only right that each rate- payer be only required to pay his or her just share of the tax lead. He said a county system would achieve some degree of uniformity in the assessments made in the local municipality. Mr. Laycox said the Ontario department of municipal affairs is prepared to make grants to help defray the cost of a county system. William G. Manning, clerk of Ontario County, said in an in- terview during a council recess, that a county assessment sys- tem is "the only fair way in dealing with assessment." "Two members of council were absent when the vote was taken.
