Speaking 'at a banquet at Rose- neath in lis hanor, be recalled that at the start of the present century the two counties were represented by commissioners. For many years between the 1890s and 1907 when it reverted to the reeve-deputy-reeve- system the Counties of Durham and Northumberland were represent- ed on a board of commissioners. There were six areas in each county with two representativels. The counties were divided irre- spective of municipal boundaries. Edward Weir was Reeve of AI- nwick ln the early 1890s and ln 1906 was namied Warden of the United Counties by the commis- sioners although hne held no of- fice as commissioner. Came Under Fire In 1907, the comimissionen sys- tem came 'under fire and when the issue came to a vote, the com- missionens turned down a motion te neyent, to the old systemn of reeves. The reason was that if muni- cipalities, wene represented in- dividually, jeaiousy andrivalry on council would'nesuit. However, a year later the system was chang- ed despite thle protest. Wýarden McMillan said the Un- ited Counties and other counties tliroughout the province miglit have commissioner government, again in the nearfuture witli the advent of area governments. Howeven, lie added there will always be a place for the county council. H1e urged the councils, of the counties and ail member munici- palities .,to keep up with the new legisiation fnomn higher levels. He&saîd -the grepatesýt threat to autonomy is not b)ei-.ig prepared at the municipal level. Looking Ahead Look-ing aheadi, tlie warden sald 110 miles of new road will be con- structed ini the counties within the next five years. The United Cunties are also working in conjunction, with the provincial and Dominion author- ites toQ construct new bridges a- long the Trent Canal system. With the hiring of an assistant counties assessor this year, strides are being made toward county ass- essment. The board of health is studying the expanïsio>n of the health unit programi. An eduication study committee has been set uip to examine the future of eduication. The wanden forecast public school areas on the saine scale as present higbi school district ai ýeen langer. Ile said steps will be taken to eliminate the harmnful -gap be- tween grade eight, public scliool to grade nine, secondary schooi. Hie pnedicted more concentration on helping slow students and new facilities for teclinical :and vo- cationai students, H1e also predicted the merging of scliool and library services under a single board.
