NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYEIGHT WELL DONE FIVE MEN An expression of gratitude should be extended by the taxpaying public of York County to the five men who voted against the resolution to build another new administration building at Newmarket This new one is to be larger than the building County Hall construct ed last fail and will cost the taxpayers This expression of public opinion should be extended to the five members because they have proved that they are more interested in the welfare of the people than in creating the biggest and the best playhouse for county councillors at Newmarket As reported on a front page story of this issue many county councillors tell themselves that they have a big fat surplus to spend Surely they do not think that the public will be so spellbound by the beautiful new buildings that they will overlook the statement of the countys own auditor Perhaps we should add an expression of gratitude to the auditor Mr Boundy Be ing an auditor he is a realist He did not try to cloud the picture He made a straightforward explanation that the socalled surplus gathered in the last five years does not mean that the county has money to spend freely Judging by his report the county has no real surplus The political as well as the practigal viewpoint seems to have been overlooked by the majority of the council members Words of criticism of the health units budget are yet ringing in the publics ears as well as statements that all county agencies must pare their budgets The hospital finds it difficult to acquire an adequate grant Too much money is being spent That was the cry a few weeks ago Yet the majority of coun cil members hardly think twice about throwing up a two This writer has not been able to locate adequate reasons for another new building The Davis residence is to he torn down we understand to make way for it Since the county headquarters moved to Newmarket a few years ago work was done on the Davis residence to provide efficient accommodation What is wrong with continuing to use this building The Toronto and York Roads commission stated that it was satisfied with its quarters in an existing building on the property and we think that the Davis house would he adequate for the Childrens Aid Society A few months ago the plan was to use the Davis building for this purpose In addition all the space in the new County Hall has not yet been used What makes the new building project a real joke is the fact that for the last five years county wardens have been crying the blues about an undue burden This timeworn phrase refers to the countys financial slate OUR SIDE OF THE STORY of affairs after municipalities in the former York coun ty were taken into Metropolitan Toronto The politi cians have been claiming that the county suffers untold financial agonies as a result of Bill SO and these claims have a hollow- ring when we see the palatial buildings going up at Newmarket PENALTIES OF GROWTH The Printed Word The Gordon Commission in its final report ap peared to view with equanimity the prospect of Canadas civilization becoming predominantly urban within the next two decades or so It calls to mind a favorite sub ject for school debates thirty years or so ago Resolved that life in the country is preferable to life in the city In rural districts the affirmative usually won The winners in later life became lawyers and settled in the city because that was where the money was to be made In city schools upholders of the negative had a better chance but did not invariably win There seems to be a romantic attraction to a rural life perhaps getting stronger the farther one is removed from it Although the cities keep on growing tho growth is not now regarded with delight or complacency by all city dwellers Most of them see no possibility of escape before retirement A home in the suburbs or on the outskirts of the city seemed a reasonable compromise a few years ago but it has become engulfed by new building and the district is now as urban as the one from they fled Those families who went to the ex pense of buying farms well removed from the city are now able to sell them for building lots at a substantial profit but have to move somewhere else to find peace The question of where to flee from the cities is not easily answered if one is looking for lifetime protec tion True the greatest growth is taking place in the cities that are already large but visits to the smaller cities and towns will show that they also are stretching out along every highway It begins to look as if the old debate might soon be pointless since the tendency Is for both farms and farmers to disappear One cannot see that citydwellers are any happier than they used to be They might not be happy on farms either but the fact that there were still farms to be bought used to make up for some of the penalties of urban growth Now some of them feel that extension of city boundaries has really a narrowing effect keep ing the citydweller more firmly imprisoned in his ac customed habitat by W fi HARVEY SOVIET ELECTIONS AND OURS Mr Katchanov edi or of the Should per cent of for the rest Soviet
