Council votes for 2-tier
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
In setting a council policy with
regards to restructuring, Blyth
council passed a motion at the July
21 meeting to support two-tier gov
ernment for the county.
“My feeling is that (governing)
would go to one-tier unless some
one puts in an effort to develop a
good two-tier system, which is bet
ter for the community,” said Coun
cillor Doug Scrimgeour. “I still
believe it is the best system for our
people.”
Agreeing with Scrimgeour’s
preference for a two- tiered system
Reeve Mason Bailey said the “key
is to come up with something with
which everyone is in accord.”
“We should go ahead and look at
amalgamation with the municipali
ties we want,” added Councillor
Rob Lawrie. “We have to talk to
the communities we want and go
with it.”
Bailey stated that council must
do what is in the best interest of
those who elected council and that
they must work with their neigh
bours, instead of having a “dicta
tor” (restructuring commissioner)
come in.
In passing the motion to support
two-tiered local government, coun
cil agreed that if such an arrange
ment could not be approved by the
province, resulting in one-tiered
municipal government, they would
request a total restructuring of
county staffing as well.
“There are a lot of qualified peo
ple (working) in the townships,”
said Reeve Bailey, “They should
have a chance at a future (with
municipal government work).”

There are good times to sell. And there are bad times to sell. The
best time to sell is when a person is ready to buy. And when people
are ready to buy, they turn to their newspaper. Not their mailbox.
Too many times, advertising mail comes at exactly the wrong time,
mixed among your important daily mail. Perhaps that explains why
three times as many people would prefer to receive their advertising
information from a paper.
Newspaper readers share a common curiosity about people, places,
facts, figures. And prices. People turn to their newspaper for the
latest price information, and they turn there with interest. Which
means that’s where your advertising message needs to be.
With all the choices available, it’s difficult deciding how best to
advertise your business. But everything becomes a little simpler when
you remember one rule...
YOU
GOTTA BE
IN THE
PAPER.
