committee he headed roposing reduction of mem bership to between 22 and 25 members The report also suggested direct ward system of election instead of the present method of having the reeves and deputy reeves representing member municipalities at the county level The argument was then presented that this should make members more responsive although this was the topic of some lively debate in council The report was ultimately tabled for future consideration The review of old records showed various changes through the years since county administration was started in 1843 with first meeting in Toronto The sessions were shifted to Barrie whre they were held until 1973 when the complex here at Midhurst was opened ONCE IGMEMBIIRS Back in the horse and buggy era of 1855 the county council
