never simpll problem as many cities have often foundio their sorrow For example there Is always the matter of tnxirates Usually force in the township areas to be taken over PERSONAL PROBLEM This immediately becomes very personal problem affecting ihe people in the area to be not onesided Annexation usual means more community son vices The outlying areas have much better chance to get sewers and water mains and paved roads The citys credit Is an advantage in this rcs pect in the case of Barrio much more than more annexation of spcdfi Growth changes the zoning pic Iurc Areas once regarded as purely residential become more suitable for industrial or com mercial purposes And Harrie does need more land or industry Situated only so miles from Toronto the city has wonderful potentialities as ing plants it is in fine pos ltion to take advantage of the decentralization trend In indust ry so prevalent in the past decade EASY AQCESS But Barrie cant expect to attract more industrics unless It can offer suitable areas for building with easy access to trackoge and bus facilities Annexation is problem that the metropolitan community must face from time to time when it becomes nccoggary
