Sup rmailbox tax

break given

LOCAL RESIDENTS living cheek by jow! with a Canada Post
supermailbos have u new (ax break thanks to a recent Ontario
government ruling allowing a five per cent reduction in municipal
taxes to people living with a box in front of their homes.

A property owner could launch an appeal to the B.C. Assess-
ment Authority based on the recent decision.

“f think it’s a step in the right direction. The next step is for
someone who has this reduction to sue Canada Post for compensa-
tion on the devalued property,” said Fred Masaro, a North Van-
couver resident who almost had a supermailbox placed in front of
his Cummins Place home in 1986, but fought the issue last spring
as the western representative for Citizens United for Equitable
Postal Service.

Masaro said he predicted a year ago that property value
decreases would result in a decreave in taxes.

“If communities work with fixed budgets, it means we're all go-
ing to pay more in taxes because of these boxes,’* he added.

Masaro said he will be going to Toronto in April where his group
will be meeting with federal opposition party heads. ‘‘Hopefully
they'll reiterate their support for equitable postal service."'

Last year Liberal feader John Turner and the federal NOP
caucus told the group they would make the cut in door-to-door
postal service an election issue.
