Acton Reeve Demands County Assessment Chief
Acton Reeve Herbert Hinton and two former county wardens condemned Halton County Council’s equalized assessment methods and urged the appointment of a county assessment commissioner under section 93 a. Hinton argued that true equalization requires a county system, noting 24 of 38 Ontario counties already use assessment commissioners and claiming Halton’s current method creates unfair taxation for most taxpayers. Esquesing deputy reeve George Currie countered that Hinton offered no proof, while Hinton insisted the county must act for its overall best interests.
