E LARGELY TO BLAME 1
Most taxpayers. and` citizens realize that the provincial govern-
ment is,cohtinually
overnment.is,continually taking over more and more of the duties of govern
ing us at, the local level.
Our voice is becoming' weaker 'and weaker as : the months and
years go on. Municipal councillors . will . tell you . that . they no lo:der
can decide on important matters, of local concern without the, sanon
of, the -provincial-government.
Sometimes een's Park does it .in an ndirect'manner with the
of the gp•ant. structure. in favour -of their ,own ideas:•, With large
local: rep.-esentatives-usually;_point heir...course_
Bruce County was one ofthe fi rst to fall in line . with. suggestions
of county assessment and made some major ;capital expenditures. in
that direction. Now, the,., Ontario government has told • .
that the
first. shall be last . and.: bas announced a switch of assessment bead -
quarters' to Grey County. The Grey • office will govern both counties.
Co library, cdunty : school. boards, county welfare are only a ' few
of the important ecus of business which have slid out. of local control.'

But is . itwonder that these happen? Last. week we,

of this : gathering were, either "councillors, ``township-'offlcials' or the
/press. This leaves • about ,15 : citizens from the township' who are in-
terested enough in local government to turn out, once in two years,
to see what has taken place and : tooffer suggestions. Kinloss is not an
