Spooner, ter for dunieipal Affairs, was the guest speaker at a dinner held "7 the Northumberland and Durham Conservative Asso- ciation, Wednesday night. The dinner was held in the Lions Centre here. The head table guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Rickard, Mayor Ivan Hobbs and Mrs. Hobbs, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sisson, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Carruthers, MPP, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Elliot, Charles Stevenson, How- ard Gibson and Kay Lycett. Mr. Spooner spoke about the formation of the Department of Municipal Affairs and les. "The dg attempt at ongan- izing u to compile municipal statistics was in 1882 when the Bureau of Industries was formed," Mr. Spooner said. FIRST AUDITOR "The first record of any pro- vincial control over a_signifi- cant number of municipalities 'lished a Bureau of Municipal HON. J. W. SPOONER was the act of 1897 which au- thorized the appointment of the provincial municipal auditor. "In 1906 the Onlanie Legisla- Whitby Township Platforms Cited General agreement on the need for planned expansion in Whitby Township was expressed in the platforms of five candi- dates running for office in Sat- urday's election. The five, the first to be queried by The Oshawa Times, saw the Township as a rapidly go changing area where proper) planning was overdue: John Dryden, seeking election as reeve: "I stand for maxi- mum encouragement of planned growth in the township, This means carrying' out our policy on development of major roads and putting greater emphasis on repair and maintenance of roads and other capital expenditures. It means continuing plans for dust control in the township, for planning built up areas and add- ing storm sewers. Council must control the mill rate and ex- penditures under its control and must plan these major ex- penditures within its means." BRIGHT FUTURE ; Fred Sturch, running for deputy reeve: "This is a grow- ing township with a bright fu- ture, but it needs planning and control. The official plan of the township started this year must be carried out so that develop- ment will take place in an orderly fashion, and accord- ing to our means. "Everyone is aware of the problems of the road," be eal, system still needs supported where seven small school areas in the township will be amalgamated under one large little red school house"', BOARD CANDIDATES John Pantony, seeking elec- tion for the first time to the board: "The Robarts' plan is long overdue. Now that we've t it we must make a good showing in the future, I want to see as broad an opinion as j|possible in our education, rath- er than the rural, sectional thinking of the past. "We must see an end to the lack of uniformity in our area's education that was the result of sectionalism, "We mustplan on an area basis as well as looking to new fields of education. There is a growing need for the retraining of adults, which can be achieved by using our schools to better advantage. Above all, we must know now what we want, and "| how best to get it." Erie Branton, seeking re-elec- tion: "I feel the board has not had sufficient knowledge of the construction aspect of the edu- cational problem in the past. The Robarts' Plan will ease the tax burden in the long run and give an even education to our children, In the future we will have to make a fresh approach to the construction of our schools." William Manning, seeking re- election: "Our big problem in the future will be handling the ve needs of amalgamation. We'; have to dove-tail school areas into one board, and that will mean a good deal of co-operation. My main effort, if re-elected, wil] be to promote harmony and try to take the school board and which will best from the different areas." eventually see the end of "the} ture introduced a new organi- zation to deal with municipal government. This was the On- tario Railway. and Municipal Board. This was granted au- thority to provide certain con- trols of the many provincial railways in operation at the time.

This was the first step towards the formation of the present Department of Munici- pal Affairs. "In the meantime in the year 1916, the legislature provided for the supervision of default- ing municipalities, and any municipality which found itself in serious financial circum- stances.
