INVESTIGATE INVESTIGATE Elsewhere in todays we pub lish one of the schedule accompany ing of the Equaling Com roillcc adapted it the recent session of the County Council and upon which County rates for the current will be levied The equalisation as set forth by the municipal act is intended to adjust so that the respective municipalities of the county shall bear a just to each other for the purpose of taxation In this light the schedule referred to presents some rather sinking anom alies For instance Aurora is assess ed at and is equalized at or less ihan the sworn valuation of the municipality placed upon it by the Assessor New market is assessed at il equalized at or less than the sworn valuation of the Assessor not half the reduction made on Aurora with an assessment of less that while at the same time Aurora has its principal street kept expense but ha to main tain its principal thoroughfare by direct local taxation One object of equalization is to adjust just such re lation of one municipality to another as the case cited presents It would be information to the people to know on what grounds or basis the reached a conclusion that the Assessor of Aurora had valued that municipality pro- higher on the assessed value ihan Assessor hid placed upon to say nothing of the advantages of the form er over of the latter by reason of hav ing Vonge St maintained at county expense Take another example Sutton is assessed at and equalized a The toial assessment of this village is above less than onethird of Aurora but the equali zation committee reduced it total assessment only about onesixth of that taken off Aurora Proceeding southward we observe the town of North Toronto with the advantages Si and also an Electric Railway which likewise cost the whole county no small item in time and expense of the Council is assessed but is equalized We find a r due- lion more one- fifth of the entire assessment while Newmarket is only reduced about on its liability to contribute towards County taxation without the advantages ol cither St or an Electric Kail- way Weston is assessed at and is equalized at a reduc tion of than the re duced value of Newmarket an assessment less Village is assessed at a trifle over the value of Aurora but is only reduced only about one- half the reduction made to Aurora East Toronto is assessed at and is equalized at or nearly the tame ratio as Aurora Some of the villages arc equalized than they arc assess edpoor Holland Landing among the number We quite agree wiih the committee that the towns and village are assessed proportionately higher than the Townships especially in of the large personalty exemp tions in the latter municipalities rd have not called attention to this report with the vie simply carping at the work of the committee but rather to point out the weakness and injustice of the system Here county perhaps seventy miles long and an equalizing committee sit in judgment upon the work of sworn Assessor of separate municipalities afterward the Council pro nounce upon tbeir supposed adjust ment while probably not onethird of the member have any real know ledge of either the justice or injustice their decision impose Surely the wisdom of the legislature ought to be able to devise some more able scheme adjustment of local municipal relation for put pose of County taxation Tut Mr
