factor used is too low and
that it should be raised
from 1.6 percent to 17.6
percent.
The lawyer for the
village, Peter Macaulay
of the London firm of
Dyer, Brown called on
Peter Srnith, Manager of
the Quality Control
Section of the Assessment
Division for the Minister
of Revenue, fornierly the
Quality Control., Super-
visor *in HuronCounty to
explain how the factor of
17.6'percent •was
calculated. He explained
that it was arrived at
through a review of real
estate sales in Bayfield in
.1969 in order to determine
market values. When it
was first approved, it was
understood that it would
result in little significant
change in the education
levy of the other
municipalities in the
county, that the province,
would absorb the dif-
ference, but this did not
prove to be the case. The
municipalities, con-
sequently, are respoh-
sible to raise the amount
'of the reduction in
Bayfield's levy which
would probably be in the
amount of $8,000 to
$10,000.
The appellant Mr.

Macaulay pointed out
that Mr. Smith is the

Person about the matter
and that since his ex -

arrived at for the village
had been safiSractoriiY
given, he believes it is the
obvious factor to be used
to determine the village's
education levy.
Mr. Pall reserved his
decision which he stated
would be given in writing.

Letter supports
council's decision
by Gwen Pemberton
What began as local opposition in Bayfield is now
attracting attention throughout southern Ontario. This
was recently evidenced by the unsolicited letter
received by the Bayfield village council containing
over 200 signatures of people in support of council's
decision not to change the area east of the the High-
way 21 bridge from hazard land to commercial
developmental.
The change, which council and the ratepayers have
been opposing for sometime, would allow a small boat
marina to be build there. A fact finding committee has
been set up by the village's Ratepayers Association
and they are researching the situation thoroughly.
There is a growing conviction that, this area should
be conserved. The concern of environmentalists is
particularly heartening. The trend to restore at
enormous expanse that has been desecrated along the
river fronts of Ontario towns and cities is encouraging.
Bayfield Harbor, in the river west of the bridge, is 4t
present\the largest harbor on the east coa.it on Lake
Huron, It has almost reached full capacity and the
addition of many small boats whefe conditions are .
crowded is already a matter 'of coritern to those who
dock their boats in the harbor.
