Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 32 of 1943. A BILL TO AMEND THE SCHOOL TAXATION ACT. NOTE. Subsection (2) of

section now provides that farm lands in a rural distrkt containing a hamlet, situate outside the hamlet, shall be assessed on the same basis as farm lands in a village district situate outside that village. This brings about an equality of taxation on certain farm lands in the Province.

SHction of the Act provided that a judgment against the school district could only be enforced by execution and that the Rules of Court relating to garnishee proceedings should not apply to school districts, the object of these pro visions being to prevent a school district being hampered in its operations by its bank a'ccount being attached, leav ing no funds with which to pay the salary of the teacher and other expenses.

When these provisions were passed, school divisions were overlooked, and the obje,ct of the amendment is to apply these provisions to school divisions, it having been rece:p.tly held in the Courts that the bank account of a school division was subject to garnishment.
