While _ these _ conditions may â€" please the landlord, they have an adverse affect on many, many wage earners and the economy.

When the municipality is robbed of taxes because of hundreds of â€" underassessed slum properties (selling at premium prices), this differâ€" ence is made up by increas ing the mill rate year after year to the point where it is growing impossible for many pensioners on low incomes to at $20,000 are assessed at $3,000 and yield only $120 a vear taxes. While slum sites for buildâ€" ing are sold for astronomical prices, the assessment and taxes derived from these sorâ€" did districts is ridiculously low. A property in North York for instance, which sells for say $20,000 and is assessed at $7,000 pays taxes of $420 a year. On the otherâ€" hand, in some neighborhoods in Toronto properties selling The reason these subâ€"stanâ€" dard buildings live such a long life is the fact that few people can afford to buy a block to build an apartment project or town houses unâ€" less, (a) the city loosens its zoning regulations to build at a higher density than perâ€" mitted under the bylaw or, (b) the developer erects a prestige project which would exclude the ordinary worker who is most in need of deâ€" cent housing. housing shortage.

If this trend is allowed to continue, wage earners will be justified in demanding inâ€" flationary wage increases â€" â€" even if this can only be gainâ€" ed with strikes, which are harmful to the Canadian ecâ€" onomy. Also the new assessgment, plus the increased slum as sessment would help to reâ€" plenish the municipal coffers and thus relieve the average homeowners of at least part of the increasing municipal tax burden. Economists realize, and the public should too, that high taxes lower the value of real estate. Because of this fact, municipal | legislators should make a study of slum distâ€" ricts with the idea of raising assessments to a more realisâ€" tic level. When this step is taken, speculators would not find it quite so attractive to purchase slums with the idea of selling at skyâ€"high prices. If taxes on slums increased, the speculative value would decrease making it possible for developers to build more housing which Metro needs If the standard of municiâ€" pal services is to be mainâ€" tained, the taxes must be maintained also even at the risk of forcing many penâ€" sioners and wage earners out of their homes because of drastic tax increases. retain their own homes.

If planning board concurs with this surmise, council should zone the area accordingly. Third: Residents on Clouston are complaining that the way things now stand, they cannot get fair offers for their homes. In. this case, perhaps council should hire a firm of appraisers to assess the fair market value of their homes. Council then could decide on the zoning denâ€" sity necessary so that these people could get fair offers for their homes. Fourth: As a final resort counâ€" cil could enact urban renewal legislation so that this area its best land use. 1111 WESTON RD.

Much of this criticâ€" ism lies in the fact that the CBC spends over $80 million a year of the taxpayers‘ money to produce proâ€" grams that a broad segment of our population just don‘t understand or like. And the biggest complaint with private TV is the huge quantity of canned soap operas they insist must be aired because of viewer demand. They must have been delighted therefore, when a man by the name of Fowler was appointed to diagnose TV‘s ills. Well, the proâ€" posed Fowler program, according to the press was just about the poorest show Canada has ever seen. Received in our mail recently was a bundle of photoâ€"copied editorâ€" ials from almost every newspaper in the country. Not one of these editorials had a good word to say about the Fowâ€" ler report. The broadcasters assembled these editorials, just to make sure that a lot of people don‘t feel that TV is at all as bad as it‘s made out to be.
