suprised -to see the assessor around
again so noon, A re -,assessment of
the south end of the township has
been started, and. extra staff may be
recruited in order to complete it by

SEWERS THIS YEAR?
We published this same headline n
year ago, but recent developments
have brought the prospect of sewers
much closer, The actual work on the
big sewage plant at Frenchman's Bay
has been started, and the engineer-

lines to it has been completed..
Resurfacing of our streets is being
delayed until the severs have all been
laid.

CHRI STMAS TREE BURNING
Twelfth Night, or the traditional
Ij last day of the medieval Christmas
festivity period was appropriately
celebrated in our community by
gathering up and burning all disus-
ed Chri strati s trees on Saturday,
.January 7th„ The collection of trees
was well organized and efficient,
Headed by Rev.'V;.H.T. ulton assisted
by Gordon Shaver, with car and trail-
er., and followed by Reeve Sherman
Scott as chief chauffeur on No. 1
truck, plus truck No,? kindly donat-
ed by Smith Transport Company and
sent out from the city, plus crews
of Kiwanians, West Rougers and boys,
the whole Job of collecting about
500 trees and piling them in the
school yard was finished. by 11 a,m.
A coffee break at Rouge Hills
Restaurcint nnturally followed.
At 7.30 p.m. the bonfire was start-
ed withgFred Beeucage as Chief Stoker,
and with the wind the big pile was
all burned up in about half an hour.
In the meantime, in the school
kitchen, hot chocolate and hot dogs
had been prepared by such well known
Kiwa_nians as Al. Hart, George Smith,
eEd Bentley and others, and several
ladies from the Ladies Club of West
Rouge assisted in serving. Norman
Gainer helped to keep the eager kids
in line so all had a fair chance.
The attendance was about 400, and we
all thought it a good gill -round
community effort.

AROUND TOWN
with Pierre Tumpane
Have you noticed how good our roads
are lately? The water has frozen in
the pot holes making the road sur-
face fairly smooth.
The coloured lights adorning the
homes at Christmas time should be
left up all year round. They sure
help make our streets more scenic.
The township_ has installed a tall
fence complete with barbed wire to
protect our elevated pumpkin. I
can't think of anyone that would
want to steal it;
When you shovel out your drive-
way, don't pile the snow in the
culvert ditches, or you'll be sorry
neat spring. I hope the Works Dept.
uncrate the culvert Steamer this
year before the time comes when we
really need it.
A little birdie told me that door
to door mail delivery will be here
sooner than we think.
What happened to the urgency that
fired up the community regarding
sewer installation? (Editor's note -
it was a dry fell; wait till spring;)
Things weed. like to see in West
Rouge in 1961:
1. Lower real estate taxes.
2.. A co&.t of paint or, the pumpkin
3. A bs.nk

this year West Rouge has started an
Instrumental Clans of about 20 pupils
with good musical aptitude from grades

is exceptionally good; as most of us

the Association's New Year's Party
was a most enjoyable affair. The

inr nothing to t)e desired in quant-

are said to account for the poor
turnout -- some competition in the

fact it wren F 3eturd<,y night, and an
ununuvIly lnrge number of private

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - 4 -
Sir: I wish to congratulate our
Council member for his courageous
suggestion that the present Planning
Board be asked to resign en bloc
since this board of 7 appointees
does not include a single member
from Wprd F.
Considering the vast changes
taking place in our ward, it is a
matter of extreme concern to learn
that Mr. Leycox°s suggestion was
thrown out and we. remain without a
voice on the Planning Boards
Two points should be borne in
mind by the voters of this area:
1. Edgar James, who spoke against
`;he suggestion was elected to the
Deputy Reeveship largely due to
votes cast in his favour by lard 5.
2. Reeve Scott "saw nothing wrong
with the qualifications of this
Board".
How much longer will. the people
of ,7a.rd 5 have to pay the piper
while others call the tune?
Alex Green.
Sir: I have noted with interest
your plans for a parkette at the
corner of East Ave. & Kirkdene, and
am hartily in favour. However with
our lack of sidewalks it is very
hazardous for small children to
venture any distance along our
streets. I live next door to Robin
McMullin who was, you will recall,
very badly injured in an accident
here.
The triangle of land bordered by
Sunnyolope & Friendship would seem
to be an ideal location for a. second
parkette. At present it is used for
a tile bed for the Shopping Centre's
sewage, but the coming of sewers will
make that unnecessary. N.H.A. has
refused to finance the building of a
house on it, due to its peculiar
shape and small size.
I suggest the Township consider
purchase of this land with a view
towards making it into a. parkette -
at the same time removing; an eyesore
to those overlookinc; it.
Margaret Bell.
ROUGE HILL CMIERA CENTRE
17ATCII FOR
DUTCH AUCTION
COMING SOON
Deer Mr. Editor:
Before the Scarborough Plant_
Board. in the final stages of plan-
ning is a, mammoth shopping center
right on our doorstep. It consists
of 60 acres and is located on No.2
Highway just west of Sheppard Ave.,
and just three quarters of a mile
or three minutes by car from our
own shopping center at West Rouge
which incidentally is all too
scantily patronized. With exist-
ing shopping facilities here, at
Highland Creek, and east and west
on No. 2 highway it is obvious
that this huge project is super-
flous, redundant and definitely
premature. To support such a
venture requires a population of
100,000 to 150,000 and it will be
many many years before that stage
is reached. In the meantime the
effect of this enterprise would be
to drain the life blood of com-
merce out of the township of
Pickering into Scarborough, and
further diminish the very meager
commercial assessment our town-
ship now possesses.
We are not in Metro but our
voice should have been raised be-
fore this. Even now our Planning
Board and Council should take pro-
mpt steps'to present our case to
both Metro and Scarborough Plan-
ning Boards and if needed to
Department of Municipal Affairs.
A Not-in-2usiness Taxpayer
A REPORT
TO 2:IEMBERS OF TEE 'J.R.C.A.
from Fleury & Comery
Barristers end Solicitors
As you will recall your investiga-
tions originally discloeed that the
home owner was paying; a dispropor-
tionate share of the township taxes
in tllc:t the tax or, bulk land worth
t,16,000.00 was approximately �80.00
while v home owner having; a. house
of compa.rai;le value was paying ap-
proximately $370.00 a year. Accord-
ingly your executive authorized an
appeal against the assessment of
approxina,tely 100 bulk lands total-
ling ta.pl,roximately 10,000 acres
hating an average assessed value of
W.00 per titre. These bulk lands
are assessed at a.pproximateiv 6%
of their value whereas your houses
are assessed at approximately 25 to
28% of their value. The app al was
launched in the name of 1.r. owen.
The f+ppea.l was heard by the assess-
ment Court of Revision which is com-
posed of five ratepayers who rarely
change an assessment unless the
assessor himself admits an error.
An attempt was made to have the
assessment commissioner hear these
appeals in one block and in one day
t: s the evidence was the same in all

SOLICITORS' REPORT. (conttd)
of them, but this was refused and
necessitated appearances on five con-
secutive days to argue the appeals
separately. As expected our appeals
were not allowed Fsrd the next step
would have been to appeal this de-
cision to the County Court Judge.
Hovever, rat the sr rr;e time the County
of Ontario increased the total an sere-
ment of the Township of Pickering for
County purpones on the basis that the
land assessment in Ward 5 was too low
and should be doubled. As you know
the majority of land in Ward. 5 is bulk
land and includes the West Rouge area.
The Township of Pickering appealed
this increase unsuccessfully and the
Board of As;sessor8 not only confirmed
the increase but almost doubled it. In
the fete of this the Reeve of the Town-
ship of Pickering hEP, stated that it
will be necessary to reassess the Town -
chip. In other words we have achieved
the end for which vie set out. We would,
however, point out that this reF:ssess-
ment is to be rnac:e by the same assessor
who 60 vigorously supported the present
ireclu}table assessment. No one corn pre-
dict the result of this reassessment
but in our opinion if done Properly it
should result in a sub stential ruc-
tion of the house owners' tuxes.
The assessment appeals were original-
ly launched in the name of Mr. Bowen
and as a. result of tt:e use of his nartie
sir. Bowen was subjected to considerable
abuse both by persons whose asseysraents
were being raised and also surprisingly
enough by ,ogle of our area. We tholli7ht
that this should be brought to your
attention so thpt "fir. Bovren could re-
ceive a vote of thenks for his pPrt-
icipF'tion in this appeal.
Editor' E Note REPORT O N AssE SS ME
In spite of all that has teen 'said at our public meetings and in articles
have appe�?r^d ir_ "The Fvire,E�y", we believe that many of our mernbers are still
clear on what the Executive of our Aertcciation has been trying to do about their
taxes. The special Committee appointed to follow up on this matter was therefor
asked to summarize and tell why we decided to act, what ores Pttempted, what re-
sults were obtained, and where the matter norr stands. Here is their report;
0011.:ITTEE' S REPORT ON ASSE;IS^:ENT
In canvassing for members during September 1060, the Executive discovered. a
strong feeling among our people that taxes in ;'hest Rouge were too high. Many
cases were reported where owners had been able to compare their tax -bill with
that of friends living in adjacent municipalities, and in nearly every case, far
comparable services, the taxes here were found. to be much higher.
Your Executive gave this many hours of considervtion. Their legal advisors
etated that in their opinion the reason for high taxes on home owners here was
that the assessment on LAND had not been raised appreciably although the sell-
ing price on bulk land for subdivision or industrial uses hF..d risen tremendous—
ly in the pest ten or fifteen years, approximately from four hundred to six
hundred per cent. The increasing costs of educc.tion and administration there-
fore, fell almost entirely on -the home -owner. We were told thu.t to correct
this that the assessment on vacant lands held for subdivision, industrial use,
etc. would have to be raised. In this way the a.ssessrlent on buildings (homes)
would be reduced. Our solicitors recommended the appeal of a. large number of
percels of land as being too low.
This was d9.scussed at our open meeting on October 21st, and the Executive
decided to go ahead with the appeals. Full details were given in the November
15th issue of "The Fairway", and ir. this issue are solicited subscriptions to a
"Special Assessment Appeal" Fund.
Our solicitors presented their cese to the Court of Revision, which in our
case consisted of five residents of tre Township appointed by Council, and paid
415 ench per day for their services. An we expected these appeFls were thrown
out and as the response to our reouest for funds was ined.equate, we were not
,able financially to carry the case to a higher court. So, for the time. being,
there the matter 'stands. No further major expense is' bein€, ircairred, but the
special Committee is actively carrying on its Ptudien rand investigations.
Our eolicitorF0 bill rips presented end being; deemed ree,eonC,.ble and fair, was
paid. The Assessment Anrevl Fund now stands;

OTEER DEVELOP °EtiTS
The County of Ontario was successful in raising its levy on Pickering Town-
ship, in spite of a very expensive legal effort by the latter. This }.daces
additional burden on the township taxrayers and ecaentuates the need for the
most equitaLle assessment possible.
The County Aste ,sor fiplpealed all the assessments; on properties south of the
Third Conceceion of Pickering; Tp. This a.ppe'nl wes thrown out as the township
solicitor argued successfully thr:.t individual Fai;i es;l ; only for each property
should be' heard. As there were some 3,000 parcels involved, this would'rnean
a long -drawn out and exi,ensive job. It is obvious that the County Assessor
thinks that land assessments in the south part of Pickering Township are too low,
