Bayfield taxes will increase by 5%
By Shelley McPhee-Haist
BAYFIELD - This lakeside municipality
offers some of the choicest residential pro-
perty to be found in the province - and tax-
payers pay the price.
Council here learned that the
municipality's assessment rate for 1986
again has been lowered. This year the
equalization factor sits at 3.05, compared to
3.27 in 1985 and 3.76 in 1984. The decrease
means less government subsidy, and higher
taxes in the municipality to make up for the
difference.

Fair has
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - The good news this week is
that the Agricultural Fair will take place on
August 22 and 23. Over the past few weeks
considerable concern has existed as to
whether this 130th Fair might have to be
cancelled.
The problem of obtaining adequate in -
our taxes five to six per cent, just to make
up for the loss," reported Clerk Pat
Graham.
Objection to the equalization factor is not
a new argument here. Reeve Dave Johnston
has met several times in the, past with
government officials to'voice his opposition
to the rates. So far the appeals from
Bayfield have been turned down.
In short, Bayfield property is popular and
homes sell for a high price ui the municipali- -
ty. It means that the higher the property
value, the lower the equalization rate set by
the province.
In Bayfield's case the blow is doubly hard
since the village does not have a strong com-
ercial base to carry the brunt of the extra
taxes. Some 80 per cent of the taxes col-
lected here come from residential lan-
downers, compared to only 35 per cent in
Hensall, for example.
The newsrof the new 1986 factor came as
no surprise to Bayfield council members.
Reeve Johnston noted, "We looked into this
last year and found no ayenue of appeal. I
feel we must try again ih the interest of the
taxpayers."
added attraction
surance cover is one that has plagued many
local fairs, but Bayfield has managed to
overcome the problem, at least for 1986.
One of the most popular events of the sum-
mer, which attracts many participants and
large crowds, the organizers look forward to
this year being one of the most successful
ever.
Local couple attend arts school
BAYFIELD - Margaret and George Chap-
man have just returned from taking classes
at the Haliburton School of Fine Arts
(HSFA).
The HSFA is a branch of the Sir Sandfora
Fleming College and this is their 19th season
offering summer courses in a variety of
media. The instruction is of high quality
with faculty from Canada's finest artists
and crafts people.
The school offers an opportunity to com-
bine studies with a natural setting for a
holiday.
A special feature of this year's fall fair,
the 130th of the Bayfield Agricultural Socie-
ty, will be the ballot for Our Fair Lady and
her two Fair Maidens! The winners will be
selected from a draw, and everyone is in-
vited to nominate a candidate.
Nomination forms (one entry only) are in-
cluded in the Fair Prize List and 'ballot
boxes are located at the Village Market, the
Bluewater Golf Course and the Cheese
Nook, where they will be available until
August 10. Nominees must be prepared to
accept the nomination, and abide by the
rules.
A special Fun and Gala Draw Night has
been arranged for August 20 at 8 p.m. at the
community centre. The occasion will com-
bine the draw for the Fair Lady and her
