Markham Township [and Value Up Not Down Says Court Of Revision Most of the appeals were from‘ Ward 1 (Thornhill, Highland Park and Doncaster), the area af- fected to the greatest degree by the proposed bypess of the CNR. Mr. Louis Wax-nice of Thornhill, in placing an appeal. claimed that the increase in assessment on all "cant lands was not justified. He stated all land values in the area hsd drastically dropped after the lnnouncement of the CNR‘s by- pass. Assessment Commissioner Ar- chie Fleming said that instead of land dropping in value in that ares it had risen and quoted tig- ures to prove his statement. Mr. George Dobson of High- Ilnd Park appealed his assess- ment stating ‘the market in hous- on has considerably decreased and when the railway a bum few will Want to live there." ' Three girls from the Highland Park Girl Guides group earned their Hostess Badges at a Hai~ lowe'en Party held at their Tues- duy night meeting. Sharon Deb. ney, Juli-an Dempster and Cheryl Leonard. acted as Hostesses for the entire evening, to forty guides. The costumes were all homemade and very original. Mrs. J. Ferguson and her daugh- ter Joan examined the girls and passed them on their good work. Assessor Fleming contradicted this statement by stating. "In Scarboro and Agincourt subdiv- lslons with valuable homes are being built with their back gar- dens right along the railway tracks.

HIGHLAND PARK NEWS CORRESPONDENT: MRS. D. R. DABLEY, 84 Highland Park Blvd. â€" AV. 52719 foot," the Assessment Commis- sioner declared. ‘In Markham it is only $10 a foot". Mr. Fleming said he did not think there was a property in Markham Township that was as- sessed for more than 10% of its real value â€"he referred particu- larly to vacant land which has been reassessed upwards for the first adjustment in four or five years J ‘1“- -. Answering complaints regard- ing futuristic drops in land val- ues because of the proposed by- pass, Chairman Russell said, “As- sessment cannot be determined on probabilities". He added as- sessment was derived from pres- end day value: and that all through the Court of Revision were based on present day fig- ures and facts. Mrs. Peggy Robinson introduc- ed the speaker for the evening, Mr. Albert Colucci. Mr. Colucci was born in New York, studied Art in Munich and the Ontario College of Art. He was a catal- oguer at Fort York Museum be- fore attaining his position as cur- ator of the Dalziei Pioneer Mus- eum. Mr. Colucci is an enthusias- tic student of the history of early Ontario. His talk was illustrated with interesting colored slides of displays at the Museum. Two appeals for part-time busi- ness assessment Were deferred for decision. The Court showed, "That wherever a business is op- erated in part of a residence. the business tax assessment is 30 per cent of 50 per cent of the total assessment. In other words, 15 per cent." The Act does not recognize part-time business which has to be assessed according to the As- sessment Act. On Wednesday of last week the ONE appealed on 78 prop- erties claiming ‘excesslve valua- tion for assessment purposes”. The president, M11. Gage re- ceived some child safety posters during the week and pleaded with parents. whose prime responsibil- ity 1t 1;, to be_ sure their childrep kow the safety rules and fol- low them. On a graph shown on these posters. the greatest killer of children is accidents with a percentage of 55. Too much stress cannot be placed on the children, especially preschool ages, on the rules of walking and playing in the streets and crossing roads. Mr. A. Hayes gave a report on the progress of the ice rink. He thanked the six men for their assistance last Saturday in help- ing nail up the old boards around the rink. A motion was passed to spend another $50.00 for new lumber to finish the fence. A smaller rink is planned this year for younger children and those not playing hockey. Mr. Hayes is calling for more volunteers on Saturday, November 14th at 2 pm. to help complete the fence. More help is urgently needed and if you are able to assist, please call Mr. Hayes at AV. 5- 2969. The Dalziel Museum is owned and operated by the Conservation Authority. It was established in 1954 with the valuable assistance of Mrs. Neil who is a very talent- ed and well informed lady about museums. Although the purchas- ing budget for the Museum was onb' $300.00 to begin with. about 95% of the articles Were acquir- ed through kind donations. All articles are from South Central Ontario and were made before 1867. In 1957 there were 7.000 visi- tors, in 1958, 18,000 attended and in 1959 to date the attend- ance has been 32,000. This is very encouraging to the Museum directors and shows that it is ac- ceptable to the public and the community, Mr. Colucci canvasses 600 schools each year and touring appointments are soon filled up. One hundred and ten classes at- tended last year and the children enjoyed the displays and asked very intelligent questions which shows that museums are good vls- ual education. The museum is now working on the restoration of a Pioneer V111. age which will be opened In May. 1960. So far they have a 130 year old barn a two storey log house built in 1816. a smoke house, woodshed and piggery.
