The Bayfield Bulletin, 1966-07-21, Page 26-8 maw/ Reg. U. S. P•t. Office McNaught Syndicate, Inc, PAGE TWO, The Bayfield Bulletin, July 21, 1966 Centennial Year Last week this space was occupied by a messagee from the local Centennial Committee, consisting mainly of a number of suggestions as to how the residents of our fair village might make it even fairer yet in honor of the country's centennial year. Most of the suggestions were sound and constrr uctive, and could be accomplished without any big expense being involved. As usual, places of bus- iness are targets for gratuitous advice about how to smarten up, and, the implication is, profit handsomely. There is room for improvement as suggested. There is also room for improvement in the relat- ionship between residents and businesses in the community. The businessmen are repeatedly asked to support community affairs with donations and gifts in kind or cash. Unfortunately, it is too often that the requests come from people whose den of citizenship sends them to an outside community to spend the food, meat and gasoline dollars. The dormant Bayfield Businessmen's Associat- ion started off a couple of years ago with some good objectives and achieved a number of them, before it fell asleep. Lighting was improved on the main street, signs indicating the business section were obtained, support was given the push for improvement of the harbor.No meeting of the group has been called in a dog's age. Surely this is not because there is nothing left to be done. It seems to us that if the local businessmen had stronger evidence, tangible evidence that the local residents would back them up, they would be ecouraged to take a few more bulls by the horns and undertake some dynamic programs. It is to be hoped that the annual meeting of the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association in the village hall July 30 will be productive of some guide lines for council as suggested in the Centennial Committee's message. It is amusing in a wry sort of way to reflect that at least one member of council, faced with a reasonable request for information about pub- lic business,declared that he "would not be dic- tated to" by such a group. What council needs is exactly that, some "eye ball-to-eye ball" dic- tation from the ratepayers duly assembled. Certainly our councillors do a great deal of work, and good work too, with scant recompense and plenty of abuse. However, none should lose sight, of the fact he is elected by the ratepayers to carry out their wishes. The ratepayers have an equal obligation to make their wants clearly kno- wn, bearing in mind that calling the tune invol- ves paying the piper too.
