The Era Newmarket Aurora Out Wed February TO WIDEN BALANCE Snowmobilers ask hearing CNlt right of Town engineer told council that he thought some action should be taken I am given to understand that it would take at least two years any positive work could be done and I time to get the structure of payment for the job would be per cent from the depart per cent from the CNR and five per cent from the town The construction is accomplished through Grade Sep aration Fund Representatives of council will In he Town Hall A letter was read from the Teen Town Committee asking council to al low to rent the town hall free as would be quite responsible and would be able to talk to the committee Members of the Newmarket Parking Authority would like a little re muneration Tor their services according a letter received by town council The letter requested that coun cil consider paying members per year and Town Clerk Grant Blight told council that according to the act mem bers could be paid such salaries as coun cil sees fit The letter was referred to the Finance Committee and the mayor that a study be made concerning The Parking Authority also asked council to reconsider Its request concerning the installation or parking meters on Timothy St from Main St to the west side of the market square The matter was directed to the Operations Councillor Bob asked council to consider a study of the structu ral state of the Memorial Arena Mr said there had been a breakdown last week necessitating closing of the building for one day and he felt council must face facts that the arena might soon need ex tensive alterations or even rebuilding The mayor said that the condi tion of the arena had been a tender spot with councils for some years past but he did agree that a study should be made The news was dominated this week by the meeting of the federalpro vincial conference at Ottawa While that Conference was taking place I was at another meeting The federal govern ment had asked me to attend as one of its official representatives at the was to fill in for Mr and sum- up the results of le conference from the point of view of a federal politician very interesting three days discussing urban transportation problems with representatives from mun icipalities across Canada Tho I had feared before the nee began that it might simply attempt to pry money Out of the typewriter Swivel pm sells first and Larry Johnson clerks Reg Johnson auctioneer federal government But the point was made again and again that primary responsibility for urban affairs rests at the local or regional The federal government has an important role to play but it is a coordinating or supplementary role The initiation of policies and the fram ing of comprehensive plans must start I tho In this area should be al located between the three levels of gov ernment There was also a strong belief that communication and consultation have to be improved since government policies at whatever level are bound to affect the programs of the others I supported the establishment of city life Its task would be to that federal programs are plugged Into the development plans of urban regions The constitutional conference in Ottawa was hailed as crisis confront ation over the future of Canada like conferences it proved My own belief is that we are going through the birth or perhaps rebirth of an effective federal system government in Canada In the twenty became blurred The federal government became involv ed in many areas provincial responsi bility by offering the provincial govern ments grants for projects it wished to see them undertake In the short run the results were often beneficial Needed programs were provided on the national scale Politic ally the provinces found the scheme at tractive they received the credit for programs and escaped the blame which accompanies raising taxes How many people knew that of the funds for Ontarios HOME program came from the federal government But in the long run this process of shored cost programs eroded our fed eral system The provinces once eager for help now resent Intrusions Into their responsibilities The federal government finds itself Increasingly blamed for high er taxes and Increased spending which more and more result from provincial area projects It is the governments belief that the federal system will only work well when provincial governments them selves take responsibility before their electorates for raising the money they wish to spend on their programs These programs must be restrained by ho people to pay for them It is week the FederalProvin cial Conference was big news As everyone knows all Provincial Pre miers and their delegations along with Room In the West Block of the House of Commons for three days to discuss Constitutional problems I I do not feel that It Is necessary because this has been adequately to go into all details of the in the news media prior to his time However I think there is a great deal of room for encouragement on the part of all Canadians insofar as National Unity Is concerned The deci sion of the Conference to set up a con tinuing Committee of the Attorneys gen eral of all Provinces and the Federal Government to discuss and agree upon language rights and a Bill of Human Rights that would be uniform across Can ada is a big step forward It would wrong to create the impression at this time that everyone was in agreement but it is fair to say that there tlonal problems we often think of the Governments policy of bilingual and on this subject I would to quote from the opening statement of the Prime this question of understand bilingualism Is all about producing a burgeoning group of lobby ists to plead Us cause A delegation appeared before Aurora Council Monday night to ask to Jones secretary of necessary to prevent the mach- becoming a nuisance The he says has weeks the club expects to Increase mem bership to per cent
