phono number they are being shafted The meeting was sponsored by the Ratepayers Association One man told regional off that people In the area get the feeling they are being shafted He cited the recent decision of the board of arbitrators to phase out assistance that has been provided to township residents In an effort to ease what was deemed to be an unfair share of the tax burden Several people attending the meeting questioned the move to market value assessment and expressed feare that taxes in their area would Jump dramatically Other residents expressed concern about duplication under regional government and rising taxes Some claimed all they get for their municipal tax dollar Is social services There were complaints about the closing of the Nassagaweya dump and sub sequent hauling of garbage to Georgetown Some complained about the difficulty in reaching the proper people when any given service is required Some noted there was a time when you could call your local reeve or councillor and Complaints about having to go through two levels of plan order to get a land severance were common president BUI John son convened the meeting and Introduced Milton Mayor Don Gordon Regional Treasurer Don Parmer and Regional Chief Administrative Officer Ernie Mayor Gordon told the group of about 25 people that he had done a comprehensive study on the cost of regional government and concluded that Milton has been hurt by WE TALK A LOT FOR YOUR BEST PRICE ODE AUCTIONEERING ANTIQUESASPECIALTY Farm and General Sales ALAN regional government But on the other hand he claimed there were no great gobs of money spent out of the local coffers He said that was possible because of the infu in provincial funds The financial effect on the region was minimal because of grants Gordon said He claimed regional staff hod grown at a much slower rate than that of and Burlington The mayor was critical of regional planning but claimed policing had im proved under the regional sys tern He said there had been a lot of criticism of regional government and agreed that while it is here to stay there are changes that have to be made We can no longer say wait seven or eight years and see how it works Chief Administrative Of fleer Ernie Held said he found working in a two tier system frustrating after leaving Sud bury where a one tier system is in force A one tier system is with out the power struggle bet ween councils and staffs at the two levels There always a conflict in two tiers and this can be frustrating and sometimes it means time wasted and Reid blamed the media for the poor image of regional government and assured the people it t as bad as it is made out to be They don paint as pretty a picture as they might but then we all have our own views of the press said there had been little change In the rural areas due to regional government He said the basic philosophy of regional government is similar to that of the board of education in that equal service and opportunity should exist across the region That the way it should be but It taken place be cause area politicians are afraid they II have to pay a little more Under equalized assessment the north would be better off but it seems that It will take a long time before this Is realized he said Regional Treasurer Farmer assured the people the region had imposed tight restraints on spending over the past four years and attributed the In creases to Inflation During the first four years of our existence we have maintained a tight control over our expenditures Most of the higher costs which we were forced to accept have been as a result of inflation Where regional council has been in a position to control expenditures these expend lures hove been maintained at a reasonable minimum in relation to the need for the provision of services We can not deny the fact that there have been higher costs but much of these higher coats have been offset by higher provincial grants which are available to regional municipalities Farmer said Information from the Min of Treasury Economics and Intergovernmental fairs has been provided concerning expenditures which are now the responslbi lity of the region and their figures compare with 1970 They state that for ser vices provided by the Region the total expenditure per household in was and in an Increase of per cent over five years How ever the province has financed much of this increase Their contributions have risen from to per household din ing this period Meanwhile property taxation for those purposes which are now regional raised 151 per house hold in 1972 and this figure Is in me This illustrates that even though total taxation has increased for regional pur poses on a per household basis the amount of taxation is increased by an average of less than six per cent per year said the treasurer Praise from D McKeough Mayor Tom Hill received a letter from Treasurer McKeough with words of praise for Hills this week Mr said he had learned from Regional Chair man Rlc Marrow the town had maintained strict control over mill rate increases even during the formative years of regional government McKeough complimented the mayor and council on their financial restraint and said he hoped other munici follow suit Parking signs up Long missing the No Parking signs have been re placed on Mill St They will restrict parking near corners and leave room for the buses to park while picking up passengers The Main St signs will go up soon BETTY ASHLEY LEFT Shirley Van Rijk with bike Cathy Ashley centre and friends guide the two Acton crawlers along

commission dispense with the services of architect Donald G Halliord as of last Monday The commission met Thursday at The firing was sparked by letter to the commission In which he fled his fees Barrett said there are several in accuracies In the letter The police will have a final inspection of the building then take It over In the three page letter doted October Halltord started off by stating there would be additional fees because his services were not finished wrote for exam pie his firm prepared sketches and estimate tor the buildings garage and range wings The wings were valued at and respectively His fee would be W325 Halltord stated the rapid progress made in the estimates and sketches was of significant benefit to his client When the mayor Barrett questioned me at this point and asked whether that was the total fee I assured him that was the case However continued after the preparation of working drawings was well underway we were asked to submit the proposed addition to the site planning committee The extra steps meant more work according to Hallford detailed other costs and finished with this one paragraph summary When you compare the actual invoices on an hourly rate those which might have been submitted if we had worked strictly to a per centage rate you can see that we held our normal fee for the actual building that is being constructed down to under 10 per cent mark and the other dollars expended in fees are for changed work abandoned work work which has been submitted to the client and not accepted and coordination with other trades Spend 100000 for works yard Region Public Woflis Committee will ask Regional Council to spend about to purchase a acre parcel of land near the Bronte Sports Complex and the site of the new regional headquarters building for a south service centre The centre will accommodate public works employees from and Burlington The works department is working out of a number of different buildings In and Burlington at the current time Director of Public Works Bob Moore said It is very difficult to operate under the current conditions and be claimed the lack of any cen tral building made It difficult to bring about any feeling of regionalism among the workers The staff had recom mended that the region pur chase a parcel at Mr Moore told the committee the parcel would be large enough for a third sewage plant In as well front end resource recovery plant The committee agreed to buy enough land for the ser vice centre but delay any pur chase of land for a resource recovery plant or sewage plant until a later date Councillor Ron Plane he of argued that the site t appropriate for any of the three proposed uses He said the operations centre would include outside storage and should be located In an industrially zoned further south in the area of the Bronte refineries Committee members ex plained the prospect had been considered earlier but the cost of land in that area made the venture prohibitive Treasurer Don Farmer told the committee the proposed purchase price for the parcel is less than the pre vailing rate in the area The land is now owned by government The region purchased 10 acres In the same area at per acre from the province for the regional headquarters building which is now under construction Paving It expected another coat of paving will be laid on Main before winter
