PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, JAN UARY 23,1974, WH IT6YFR'EE PRESS. Fd Iu1orim- While die concept didn'i't seemn too bad the actuial workinig of regional governnîent.iii Whitby anîd surrouind- iîîg area is begiîîninig to ztcqitire the proverbial rotten snîiell from Denmiark. Anybody iiot directly working for the ilîuîiicipality niiglit not realize that A is not bliss these days buit juist ask any policemanl how'things are going ini the regional shLîffle. Not onlly have we lost omir cliief, WNilliamî Pilkinigtoi bt our inispector, Fred Baker lias beeiî denîotcd to sargeant and what was a very efficient police departnieint seemns to be plagued with a smnallnimorale prob lem. Aniother problemîî of regional governimenlt ini this area is the niane. We doit know wh<> suggested the naine Dtirharn but it looks like the legal ramifications of tising suich a îiame were îiot fully explored. Citizenls'living ini the town have objected to the naine anld it îiow appears thev have good reason to complaiiî. Lab reports inte,îded for the region of Durhîami are windiîîg up in the town of Duriarn, and the, people of the town of Durlham feel, silice their coiiiinty lias liad tlhe naine officially incorporated. thîe regioîî has no legal righit to use it. So liot only does thîe region of Durliarn have probleîîs' right off thîe bat as far as operatiîîg but it appears there is a chance the îîare wiII have to be chianged if the Town of Durianiwins their day iin court. .Add to the above thîe United Nationîs like noises tlîat are heard ini the regional council meetings along with the fact duat Wlitby is losiîîg the Industrial Coinnissioner, Wes Winters and you have to sit back and ask yourself if regional governnîent was better on paper than iii realtiy. Like a marriage, for better or for worse, we'll fiîîd out sooîî euougli.

"Construction and produc- tion has exceeded for quite some years the rate of famnily formations in this country. Obviously. if we inaintain thIs kind of construction, which 1 think we can, we will have a depressing effect on pfices." Mir.
