First Step Towards Region Government Mayor Cooke has taken the first toward regional government for Barrie and district He has already seen representatives of Vespra and Innlsl townships and more meetings are slated step cognized this possibility in his approach to Vespra and Innlsfii The question that must be declded is which of the three accepted At first ance amalgamation roposals should be before anything concrete can be devised ViSElv the mayor has not confined himself to one specific pro osltlon He has advanced three proposa amalgam ation annexation of parts of the town ships by Barrie and amalgamation of municipal services with independent pol itical control Obviously he has set the stage for wideranging discussions Two important factors are involved First the Ontario government has designated Barrie as rapidgrowth city with projected popu lation of 100000 within the next 30 years Secondly the province has indlca ted that regional governments will re place smaller administrations and that municipalities must prepare themselves for this change Two major regional governments in fact have already been established In sense they could be considered pilot pr0lt jccls for future developments Ottawa Carlclon with population of 445000 includes the cities of Ottawa and Van ier three villages and 10 townships Nl agara with population of 326500 cm braces Niagara Falls Welland St Cath arincs Fort Erie Port Colborne and number of other communities Regional government will not come to Barrie and district tomorrow but it could becstabllshed sooner than many people

to visualize the furor that could develop with three councils having say in administration Annexation of land needed by Barrie for industrial and possibly for residential purposes could be of great advantage to the city but perhaps not to the townships For example if Barrie were to annex yond its northern boundary it would take in stores like Towers and Food City and other commercial properties that pay heavy taxes Vcspra could not be expect ed to accede in fact it would probably fight such move The most satisfactory plan for all con cerned would be amalgamation As one community Vespra Innlsfil and Bar rie under one government could control industrial commercial and residential development There would have to be master plan and zoning Amalgamation would not be all clear sailing of course There would be vital question of taxation of lowcost rural and highcost city lands There would also he the question of services inciudin pol ice fire and public works The le of London faced heavy costs for public works when it annexed London Town ship Barrie might be confronted with similar problem There would be major problems in connection with all three plans advanced by the mayor
