His view was that regional government would be part of a ay and cities would become part of a regional government. The area of regional ae ments would vary from place to place.

He added, Ontario is not only governed in the number of its municipalities but also in the commissions. MUNICIPAL REFORM The Mayor of Ajax's second recommendation was form of the whole organization of local government within the municipality. "The first principal here is ish. tem. "My second principa' is that council should be the only elect- ed governing body for a munici- pality. All other boards and commissions would become committees of the council with the exception of courts of re- vision and committees of ad- justment." He said divided control and responsibility is an expensive luxury which we can't afford. The council must find the money for every municipal responsibil- ity. MORE LOCAL DEMOCRACY The regional government council would assume full re- sponsibility for an aspects of nt of the munici creating more local democracy, he stated. Mr. Parish feels a need for a complete overhaul of munici- pal responsibilities. He said mu- nicipalities should be relieved of the responsibility for education, health and welfare and provide local services to property only. "Services to property should| be paid for by a real estate tax; services to people should be He said it is just as ridiculous to tax property for education, be to tax property for national defence, TAXATION CHANGES revision of these responsibilities, in taxation and administration. multiplicity of its boards and the re- that all councils must be direct- ly elected by and responsible to the ratepayers," said Mr, Par- "This is my major criti- cism of the county council sys- ality/and paid for by the senior levels of government with other means of "| taxation," he declared. health and welfare as it would Mayor Parish explained in the there would have to be changes Municipalities would no longer levy taxes against property for education, health or welfare. The, money for these would be paid: by taxing people by in- come, corporation and sales taxes. "The local education commit- tee of council would assist the local 'school authorities and the province in the administration of schools 'but all monies and control of expenditures would rest in the hands of the provin- cial authorities. The province would provide the same basic leyek of education throughout Ontario. "Once the municipality no longer~has~to worry about the capital and maintenance costs of. schools its hands would be free-to tackle its own prob- lems," he said. He said one of the big stumb- ling blocks to progress in re- gional governments is the fear a broad area government for a region once instituted would be met with demands for water, sewers and roads with the con- sequent great debt without the assessment per capita to sup- port it. FLEXIBLE FRONTS GM Presents Six Films To Library Canadian Library Week is now being celebrated at the Mc- Laughlin Public Library. The staff had a very pleasant surprise when the public rela- tions department of General Motors presented the library with six films dramatizing Can- adian history and depicting the lives of the following famous Canadians: Joseph Howe; Wil- liam Lyon Mackenzie; Louis Joseph Papineau; Robert Bald- win; Lord Durham and Lord Elgin. Each of these films has a running time of thirty minutes. They were produced by the Na- tional Film Board and have been shown as a series on CBC Television. The films will prove very val- uable to both children and adults studying Canadian hist- ory. Newcomers to Canada will find them an easy and enter- taining way of becoming ac- quainted with the history of adopted country. The films will be available for bookings after Easter. "Therefore, to help establish; i. 1 ment, the provincial govern- ment would need to extend aid in financing services through a more flexible grant. The prin- ciples behind any grant should be to provide a provincial stand- ard of services and to base the grant on need." The provincial unconditional grant should be replaced by a municipal services grant which would vary as the need varied to assist in the provision of es- sential services, he said.

CRITICISM FORESEEN "'T've heard from some sources that municipal assessors won't like the new manual," he said, "because it will be too complicated and only an engin- eer will be able to understand it.© Mr, Wright admitted that a layman won't be able to under- stand the new manual, but add- ed, "a layman wouldn't be able to understand the old manual either." He said the new manual has a strong leaning toward an eco- nomic approach, QUANTITY SURVEYING Speaking at the opening of the conference, F W. Helyar, ARICS, president of the Cana- dian Institute of Quantity Sur- veyors, discussed the beginning of quantity surveying and its movement in Canada, He said, "quantity surveying is something that is peculiarly British. At the beginning of the industrial revolution in Britain, the 'lump sum' type of contract assessors were given the hope of more assis- ernment at their annual spring About 80 assessors from On- tario, Halton, Peel and York|% a representative of the Munici- tario Government, say that help Area Assessors and the general contracting business were first coming into practical use, "Prior to that time, the archi- tect was the master builder and the work was done by master tradesmen, each with a group tradesmen working under them, The architect prepared his drawings and estimates «of the work for the owner and the tradesmen were paid on a 4 tiated basis when their was completed." ' He went on to say that "fre- quently the architect's ein and the final cost differed siderably -- a situation that: not uncommon today, "In order to at a price be fore doing the work it is neces- sary to measure the quanti of labor and materials from architect's drawings," said Mr. Helyar, "'and it wasn't ong fore the contractors that if 10 of them were c peting for a particular proj it would be cheaper for one man to measure the quantitiés and issue them to all 10 con- tractors, rather'than for each contractor to measure his own. Thus, the quantity surveying profession was born." DUTIES OUTLINED Mr. Helyar outlined the dutibe of a quantity surveyor, stating that he must prepare bills of quantities and has become recognized as an expert measuring quantities, build: costs, approving monthiy pro- gress payments and doing pre-contract estimates and cost control statements. He recalled that the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their birthdays today: Walter Knox, 68 Wayne St.; George Sills, 319 Nas- sau St, and Elizabeth May- kut, 504 Lowell Ave., who celebrated her birthday yes- terday. Phone 723-3474 was formed in 1959 to promote the interests of quantity survey- ors, since there is no independ- ent quantity surveying profes- sion in Canada. "There are one or more quan- tity surveyors or estimators in every general contratcor's of- fice," said Mr, Helyar, "pre paring a bill of quantities for every job on which the contrac- tor tenders." He said there are also quan- tity surveyors in architect's of- fices and some like himself, . private practice, giving cost ad- vice to architects and owners, rather like those in a similar profession in Britain.
