1 south but he argues urban aurora and newmarket dont have the industrial and commercial development to sup port services for the six northern munic ipalities that would mean a steep increase in residential taxes a substantial decrease in services or a determined effort to attract even more development to northern york municipalities king said the disparity between the north and south was the reason the region was established by the province in 1971 to share the wealth the north does not have sufficient industrialcommercial assessment to pay the bills but before southern residents start complaining that theyre subsidizing the north as vaughan councillor bernie divona did last week king points out northern taxpayers helped pay for the roads water and sewer pipes and other infrastructure that allowed the south to grow and attract industry if the status quo is abandoned king argues the only equitable change is to create one york city any other model concentrates the wealth in one or two areas at the expense m h fish market super specials many more instore specials a special thank you to our valued customers who continued to support us during the fire renovations

have saved millions of dollars if yorks growth had been con centrated in markham and wwtchurch- stouffville those towns are closer to the duffin creek sewage plant which processes the effluent collected in the yorkdurham sewage system com monly called the big pipe but instead york taxpayers spent the money to build infrastructure west to vaughan because it was determined yorks growth would be kept in a south ern belt along the top of toronto rather j than allowing development to creep into the rural areas wells said its not fair to cut the north off from the assessmentrich south now i think its incumbent to make sure those who are left behind arent holding the bag the aurora and newmarket industrial base would have to support the entire north under the twocity model theres not enough mass to do it he said taxes would go down in the south and up in the north wells doesnt understand why any one would want to fracture the services now handled by the region such as this week

chairper son says northern residents have contributed to growth in the southern towns police public health social services regional roads water and sewers while markham mayor don cousens hasnt worked out the financial analysis the survey has convinced him to aban- don his idea of three municipalities in favour of two cities he argues there are too many differ ences between sutton and unionville for example to have all york communi ties brought into one city cousens urged politicians to pay attention to the results of the survey even though it wasnt a scientific poll and comparably few markham and whitchurchstouffville residents responded after people have a chance to digest the results cousens said politicians should launch a study looking at the implications of creating either one or two cities in york but whitchurchstouffville mayor wayne emmerson dismissed the survey arguing generally only residents with an axe to grind in his town responded while its easy to advocate shifting boundaries on a map he doesnt think anyone understands the financial and social implications of amalgamation i dont believe amalgamation will save us any money i think it will cost the town of whitchurchstouffville more i dont think well get better services if push came to shove emmerson supports one york megacity correction a story in the nov 13 edition incor rectly identified a person
