But that did not hap- pen. The province did not pay any of the reduction • anicipalities shared it all. treasurer's meeting Monday the application by Bayfield to have its educational levy trim med from $102,636 t0 $9,323 was rejected. The move by the treasurers was a complete tur naround from a decision made on a similar ap- plication from• Bayfield one year ago. The village complained in 1977 that - the equalization factor used to set the ratio between market values of property and their value on the village's assessment roll was to high. The factor had been set at 17.6 and the village contended it should have been 16. The treasurers backed the village on its request an,d the educational 1e'y for the year was cut from $91,280 to $83,204, a saving of $8,076. The clerks were hesitant to agree to Bayfield's request last year because they did not want to force their own councils to have to pick up their share of the Bayfield savings. The treasurers were given the understandingt the The treasueres were not about to let that happen again. County clerk Bill Hanly, chairman of the treasurer's session, said nothing was known of the provin y , ure- l,,p v the levyuc`tiltn' until the day of the meeting. He said had the treasurers known last year that the province had- no intention of paying any of the costs the Bayfield request would have been turned down then. The' town of G.oderich, always saddled with the biggest share of county costs, would have had to pay. $1,4130 extra if Bayfield's request had been granted. Last year the town expected to pay $143 as a result of the Bayfield redu tiq,, aevit instead was givii a 9f11 or $1,292.
