BETWEEN THE LINES Do something about pollution reader urges pollution and us Wilh all the talk and fuss about pollution most of us are very lit- plastic bag plastics nonbiodegradables are harmful Bucfo There I was pencil poised to catch the dramatic phrases that would announce the dynamic role the Region is to play in plan ning And then there were none So I helped myself to an Imperial mint and crushed it to a powder between my teeth with one swift grind Well I mean to say it was before Christ mas that the planning committee made a to Regional Council that planning services be offered to the muni cipalities It was one of the clauses in the Study that they felt should be im plemented immediately Its effect would have been to start discussions immediately with the municipalities I had the impression then that the maj ority of the council favored the move But they listened to the pleas of the minority to give them a chance to sell the idea to their councils first They approved a motion to table the resolution until that was accom plished Now after an interval of almost four weeks the committee made another renom- that the planning commissioner the new boy be directed to study the study and prepare comprehensive recommenda tions as to the implementation of the Pater- the buck Talk about passing the buck and creat ing civil service mandarins The resolu- tion passed without comment Auroras ram bunctious Richard was absent again Altogether it was a dull but strangely unquiet meeting though it had its moments of comic relief They also said Mayor Bill of Richmond Hill under told the council that he had been directed display by his own council to ask for representation before on the South Lake Conservation after V Authority Then having done as he was told he meekly accepted the planning committees include a Rich- solicitor Edward recom mended the appointment of a female legal assistant who is presently employed in the Metro Toronto legal department where lie himself was previously employed The posi tion was advertised in three local newspapers Mr informed the council that the applicant is doing exactly the same work in Metro that she will be called upon to do in York She is presently being paid a lots to be done Havens made we heard about all the made horrible pollutants used earth j every day People are tifiria still buying plastic wrap to life

conviction said isnt half so ing a second solicitor Councillor Gordon commented maybe we should hire two of them and get rid of the solicitor And everyone laughed heartily and approved the appointment and the salary laughter When it came to the report of the Board of Public Health I could have sworn I heard ghostly mirthless laughter and clanking of chains echoing around the high walls of the council chamber It contained a recommendation that the provincial appointee to the board be paid intario Municipal for a 173Iot in Keswick had apparently consulted with the solicitor He was quite firm that as a corpo rate board the council had no right to their decisions Now theres a strange situation With the exception of the provincial representa tive the board is a committee of council Public Health is a sharedcost program be tween the province and the municipality In the past the board had authority to administer its funds as it saw fit only after their budget had been approved by the two government bodies involved The finance committee of the county council had the function of scrutinizing the budget deleting Last years board members per diem of 20 Its a small item to be sure but the way I sec it the board has no author ity to increase expenditures over until its budget has been approved And York North name Lewis as 1971 president KING CITY Lewis was elected pre of the York North

disturbing thing about the situa tion is that its not the first item that the Social and Family Service Committee has slipped in for approval without a comprehen sive budget being submitted At

daycare facilities for working mothers and children in deprive areas And that includes lunchtime supervision and after school care for latchkey children Hut in practise I believe it would be sound business sense to know how much It is going to cost before final approval is given Not for a minute would I wish to imply that the Social and Family Service Committee liuiij tin- opposite Is the Ive made the point before that the inexperience of the new mem- hern is the councils greatest handicap That may have been a hasty conclusion Including the chairman there are ten members with previous
