claremont community hall on wednesday feb mth 815 pm sponsored by the goodfellowship class admission 40c 25c pay over 50 road costs but have no representation on ontario county board sequel to the election of county road board members two weeks ago when reeve wh westney of pickering warned against pack ing the board with members from the north portion of the county and yet this happened mr west ney made a statement on the situation in ihc council last week mr westney said at the meeting of waterloo county council on january 9 1951 a resolution was adopted appoint ing a committee to interview the minister of the department of highways in an attempt to have the highway improvement act amended so that the separating municipalities of elmira hespeler and preston might be inducted to remain in the county of waterloo preston has a larger population than the town of whitby while elmira and hespeler each has less this situation is of more interest to the ontario county council due to the result of its selection of the county road board in january 1g for 1951 as reeve of pickering town ship i nominated the reeve of mara as a candidate for this road board and voted for him even while my own name was on the ballot so that the north part of the county might be assured of a representative on the 1951 board i had previously asked that the council give more consideration to an even distribution of the hoard members than they had in the 1950 election therefore i feel free to draw your attention to the follow ing facts whitby town hits no county road roara members has no county roads yet pays over 11- s00 into the county road system more than both mara ancl rama townships combined and they with two road board members this leaves whitby town in the same or even a worse position i than the municipalities which are withdrawing gfrom waterloo county more than 50 per cent of the amount raised in tilis county for ontario county road purposes is raised in the municipalities to the extreme south and note that all of the six road board members which includes the warden reside at least ten miles north of the northern boundaries of these south municipalities pickering township one of these south i municipalities has no members on i the board alio pays nearly twice as much into tiie county road system as mara and rama townships combined and has less than half of the combined county road mile age of mara and rama these county road mileage figures and the amounts raised are available in the january to june 1950 minutes and proceedings of ontario county council keeping the above information in mind my question is have you any solution that would ensure a more suitable distribution of county road board members for future years in reply thomas harding chair man of tiie road board said that appointments should be made by bylaw rather than open ballot at this point the whole ques tion of county roads was opened up somewhat bewildered by the sectional attitude some members took on roads pat bayly of ajax said is there some factor in this that escapes me as i see county government it is an effort to aver age all these services over the county and it is an integral part of the idea that some sections will receive proportionately more ser vice than they pay for if the other way is the ideal solution that is that every one just gets what they are directly entitled to then we are discussing our own demise then the idea of having a county road system is an anachronism as i see it for the benefit of the countyatiarge green river llr and mrs reg
