ûampion Ed ' <J',Au The division of responsibilities betwJeen ltse area couni and the regional couni, as proposed recently by the province, deserves more attention than it bas received tsius far from local municipal councillors. Boundaries have caught mos of thee tek thus f ar and yet the long-range implications, and thse biggest change sstich local ratepayers will sec, is ini tise change of responsibilities from local te regional. In is outline Arthur Meen described regional fonctions as lncluding "brnad planning strategy for tise region, as reflected in an official plan"' as a basic guide. In addition thee regional jurindiction would encompass certain kinds of roada and traffBc cotrol, Public transit, water and seseer services, garbage dispoqaI, police, emergency meassirers, some licensisg, bealtis and welfare, coanty forests and capital borrowing. Under tise ares counicil resaibilities, the province set ot developing and administering official plans, handling subdivision agreementa, and setiling questions of zoning-all, of course, compatible wite lthe officiaI plan of tee total region. In addition some questiomnsi parking ssoudd be more readily settleli by thee local level of counicil, plus drainage and local roads. Parka and recreation are also seen as a local respomsibility. Thse collection of gorbage and the continuation of hydre service would remain local as would fire protection, some licensing, and possibty tax collection. So wht ali we cali tee new municipal borossghs proposed for thee central and norteers portions ofthee HaIson regional government? Thse unit tentatively ralled "Central llaltos" inthte goverments presen- tation wil likely end op being calied Milton, because the borvugh is centred on Milton alteough it includes thee seole tosen plus portions of Burlington, Oak- ville, Esquesing sud Nsssagaweya. But Milton Coonilior Jim Kerr bas an ides for s new name, in case teose in tee ostlying areas onnt their municipal Mames recognized inte e ew horongh. He teinks "Bomen" would ha filting, as it combines tee frst letier of each manicipality's name - liaclinglon, Oakville, Milton, Esquesing and Nasssgaweys. Next te Milton, tets the e st osme we'ce heard yel. It would certainly ha unwieldy if we combined tee firss phrase of each municipal name into ose. You'd end up wite Mames like Miloakburlesquenass or Miltesnasoakburl or something equally ridicalous. Slow about "Centre City" to indicato Can anyone teliaus wlere Walter H. Lindsay once had a store in Milton, bandling groceries and dress gonds? The Champion bas an old lime drawing of tee store but cant match it up wite any of tee present buildings te tee dowonn core. Organizers have gone to a lot of mrk preparing for tein weekend's tird annual Snon Festival winter carnival. Its set up so test most of ltse events sili continue, smos or no n os, butof course it su hab perfect if Ileres a gond layer ofisnow on tee ground. Thse progrsm is aIl arranged, nos all tets needed is public participation. Your snowman tag is your admission so ha sure your whole family is seoring s snosman shen you haad for thee osoekensi evento 51 theefair grounds. Speaking about thse Niagara Escarpment at s meeting in Norts Burlingten one nighl last week, Haton West MPP George Kerr teld why tise province had te take over tee job of preserving thse 465-mile long escarpmnent. "Thse escarpment cota terougls many jurisdictions, includlng cime counties, eight conservation auteorities, 31 planning boards and 63 local municipalities. Because of tein jurisdictional jungle, it became apparent test an overali provincial plan souid ha required," he sald. We guesa so-ts bard onongb te get a couple of municipalities te agree on For simplicitys sake, liken thee propoaed regional government tethee Present county goveroment. Removed fromntee concerna ni tee local municipality souid bhattee atersorks and sewer sytem, approval of sub- divisions, garbage disposaI, police and capital brrowing. It hecomes evident tbat much ofthee decision-maling 500bu trsusferred te a senior level of government. Miltons affected neighbors bave been suggesting test given ares coundil Statua, tee town sili «become a developers' poradise". Ibis pinpoints theer shalios thinking. Milton could't aPprove s plan of subdivision if it santed te witeout regional coancil approval. It could't expand ito sesage treatment facilities, develop s nes sater source or brrow tee required funds without regional council aPProval. And on test 23-member regional coundil, Milton will have s proposed thee voices. It seema fessible test under regional goveroment local ratepoyers will flnd o great tramsfer of respomsihiity bais tokes place and ares councils, like todsy's local municipslity, may ha dealing primarily in fixing a few sli-eets, collecting the garbage, ptting out fires, planning parks and rocreation programs and collecting thee taxes. Al tee buundsry debates in thee world sont prepare residents for thee major changes in tee handling of services that are planned under rogional goveroment. tee nes brongh's key location in tee centre tf the hurgeoning Halton region? Or we couid off theebat te ilingualism and maintalo su historie Esquesing name by calllng il Quatre Bras which translates into "four arma" sud certainly fitas large town rvaching oui in four directions in rural lands. Up in tee norteero Haiten burough, sot many names have been suggested. Acten Mayor Les Duby teinks North Halton soute hcas suitable home for the brough encompsssing Acton, George- town, Esquesing and Nssagsseya. If tets sot poplar ha suggests ML. Egan. The Mt. stands for Moont in recognition of tee fact the ares silI ha several hundred feet abuve tee level of the southers municipalities, and teanks te tee presence of tee Niagara Escarpment which is commonly calleti "tee moustais". Egan, of course, compounds tee first leter of tee four muncipalities. Some wag suggested Escarpmento would ha nice. Whs's your suggestion? suyteing, let alone test many separate entities!
