said Mayor Jack Loucks.

‘Because of the provincial |
changes we were faced with

large increases at: certain
levels.”’

Alderman : iim Warne

pointed out that the burden

has shifted _due_ to the
changes in ‘ .assessment.
Along with .the foremen-
tioned percentages he ex-
plained condominiums would
be subject to an average four

percent increase and com-.

mercial property would
experience a 16 percent hike.

Industry took. a large part

of the load in the past but will.
now benefit -from a ‘nine.
percent drop. This is where

‘the large shift. took place
taking the burden away from
industry and putting it on the
homeowner. '

The city has enjoyed
gencrally lower taxes than
the district in the past but the
change brings the city more
in line with its neighbor.
