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.' pow Pi But is . itwonder that these happen? Last. week we, u any n Vis_ attended Kinloss: nomination meeting with• .about 25 others. About ten 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 cane hue=been=going-on7ln ost-area,-municipalites-for- ears.
