Mrs. Bernice Mcllwain gave a report of the district annual meeting Bayfield wants..... • from page 11 hardship on its 500 residents estimating the village was paying about $9,000 too much. Lettner told the hearing that examination of assessment office records indicated that equalization factors for two county villages, Bayfield, and Hensall, were both wrong. He suggested that Bayfield was paying 10 percent too much and Hensall's requisition was 10 ' per- cent too low. He told the hearing the assessment of the village of Bayfield may be inaccurate because of the number of seasonal properties. He said the assessment figures were related to property sales in the village but pointed out- that, property values in Bayfield may be slightly inflated because of the number of chattels included in cottage sales. He said they purchase the cottage and the fur- nishings preferring to pay the chattel than the transfer tax. The municipal treasurers on the ar- bitration board were told by county clerk Bill Hanly, who chaired the hearing, that if a vote went in Bayfie id's favor the remainder of the county municipalities would have to pick up the money reduced from Bayfield's portion. He said the treasurers would have to make an honest decision realizing the pressure they may face having to go back to their municipalities and say they sat on a board and recommended their municipality pay more education costs. Hanly said a failure by the arbitration board to make a decision would send the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board. The municipal officers compared requisitions in each of the county's 26 municipalities and discovered there was no common denominator for determining the amounts paid by each. They suggested that another hearing date be set for June 27 when more in- formation can be ob- tained concerning how the ministry of revenue determines equalization factors. Hanly told the hearing that the -advent of equalized assessment should iron out most of the inequities in the system adding that not only were there inequities between municipalities but between individual properties in the same municipality.
