township is lol lowing wait and sec policy regarding probable changes which may be iniolvcd in new regional government Reeve lngram Amos who moved up to leader of the council earlier in the month and colleagues have shown in terst in the possibilitis men tioan by the Ontario minister of municipal nllaiis Hon Dar cey lichcough but so far in this new term have been busy uith more immediate problems The proposal made by ltlr llcheough earlier that any in lnre municipality should have minimum of from than to 10000 population would mean llled onlc would have to amalgamale with at least same at its neieh bors Medonte officials were invited to attend regional development meetings at Midland there have been discussions bout mutual problems which might be involved ONCE TDGETllEll it the wish at the people ol Medonte is to be carried out it would appear the majority seem to Javor amalgamation with rural neighbors with mutual problems rather than join ur ban centres Readmission of tile village ol Goldwater which was once part of Medonte would be an exception old records show Medonte iii the early years oi county ad ministration was united with tour of its present rural neigh bors namely Tiny Tay Match edash and Orillia townships With the return of Coldwatg Medonte could meet the mini mum population stipulated by joining Orillia township The later however faces the pros pect or losing more territory round the new city of Orillia by further annexations within the next law years MORE LOGICAL Amalgamation of Matchcdash and Toy would appear more log ical Matchedashs administra tive headquarters are now at North River The township has year lt round population of low er than 400 but enough summer residents to boost its voters list to over 1000 names Tay township hall is located at

Niagara and areas north and west or Metro Toronto by early 1910 have been followed with close interest here as else where MEETINGS URGED It was suggested that ratepayi ors and their represenattives should give some direction and guidance concerning their de sires rather thnn wait for the government to do it or them such as was done in the trans formation of school administra tion lrorn local and area boards to two county wide boards Those who have viewed the time to act concerning re gional desires is at hand since the warning was given to eupcct ealy action in early 1970 as indicated by Mr McKeough One suggestion discussed was that various questions should be pubmittcd to the electors or special vote in deciding their wishes Others have argued the county views could be obtained at the county level but more wide expression of opinion by ratepayers generally hasbeen held as more desirable LARGER TAX BASE Need for largm tax base or municipal tinahcing has been one of themalor reasons given or larger administrative areas The provincial government pro vides much of the linancing ol municipal administrations through grant system and small municipalities are con sidered lnleconomical modem conditions After being united at one time Tiny and Tay separated from Medonte about 1869 and tllen hlakhedash and Orillia inwn ships followed The smaller units ol administration were considered
