Knights .ofOColumbus hold Charter Nit Incumbents faired well In most cases in Clarington it was incumbents, whether in municipal council, the boards of education or Hydre Electric commission, that received thenod from the electorate te serve as another three year terni of office. There was ne real negative issues that held up under scrutiny that would have harmed those i office and as a result they were net sacrificed at the poIls. 'Me past terni bas shown that even in hard times it is possible to tighten the belt and still maintain a good level of service and in most cases there was no indication of a reduction in service. Most candidates during the campaign have indicated a continuation of a level field of taxation indicating that zero increase was part of their platformn. With the economy apparenuly now on the rise the urge to hold the line in taxation may not bc as strong as over the past three years. One can add te this the closing eut of the Social contract or Rae days as most like to cal I the remuneration restraints. There is no doubt that most labour will bc looking for a catch-up boost to salaries and wages and this pressure is sure to cause concerra for the elected if the indicat.ion is to continue te hold the ine. That is alI in the fuiture but one would have te sy it could be a sure thing-. To those returning to office for another three years - congratulations. This return hias to be an indication of satisfaction by the general public. There are somne new faces and te terni there has been a trust in their judgemecnt to continue with the affairs of governing. The percentage tumnout at the polis was down some this election in Clarington . The tumnout count registered in at 34 percentage points. Hlydro issue to heat Up? One of the issues of the recent municipal election was the expansion of service by Ohe Clar-ington Hydro Electric Commission who now service Orono, Newcastle and Bowmanville. The expansion mentioned would have the local commission provide service at least te Courtice and possibly in all of the munici pality. Much depends on legisiation coming eut of Queens Park that is expected to favour such take overs and possibly provide somne foni of funding, for purchase froni Ontario Hydre who now service these areas outside the three centre as mienitioned. The facns on such a miove are somnewhat fuzzîe at the present âmie and no one is sure of the costs and savings that may occur through such a mnove. One would have to guess it will not be a give-away by Ontario Hydro and the province calîs ih hard times with a budget centînuing with a sizeable deficit. There are amalgmnations in the district in C obourg with Coîborne and there is a possibility that( Port Hlope may.join in this forni of operation. Paul Reesor at the Newýcaistle Al-candidates meceting did state that the local commission did have to consider the the benefits of any change as it would affect their prescrit local customners.
