Bill No. 101 of 1941. A BILL TO AMEND THE SCHOOL ASSESSMENT ACT,1931 NOTE. This Bill amends The School Assessment Act, 1931. The purpose of

section of the Bill is to bring the Act in line with The School Act amendment in Bill No. 89 amending The School Act. School districts in whole or in

part in a summer village are, by that amendment, given the status of rural districts so that the provisions in The As sessment Act relating to village school districts no longer apply to them. The new sections added by

section of the Bill incor porate provisions which will assist a school district to col lect taxes where the property assessed is occupied by a tenant. The same provisions have for some time been contained in The Municipa}, District Act, The Town and Village Act and The Improvement Districts Act. w. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel.
