provides that the Council of a local municipality shall prepare and adopt estimates of all
sums required during the year for the purposes of the municipality,

shall, after the adoption of estimates for the year, pass a by-law to levy a separate tax rate
on the assessment in each property class, and
WHEREAS Sections 307 and 308 of the said Act require tax rates to be established in the
same proportion to tax ratios; and
WHEREAS regulations require reductions in certain tax rates for certain classes or
subclasses of property.
