throughout Huron East and begin-
ning to implement the sign study.
"We need to let people know where
we are," Seili said.
Maloney said he was most sur-
prised by the Seaforth and McKillop
results since he was expecting to win
both wards and only winning in
Seaforth by a slight margin.
"My best polls are in. I figured I`
would do better in Seaforth. I needed
Seaforth," he said.
Maloney said he spent $2,500 on
signs, advertising and election mate-
rial and believed the response he.
received while campaigning was pos-
itive.
"But, it didn't turn out that way
tonight," he said.
Maloney said his political career is
now over and he is considering doing
some travelling in his; retirement.

Huron East does not support
resolution to speed up review
of provincial municipal services
Susan Hundertmark
Huron East will not support a res-
olution from Oxford MPP Ernie
Hardeman asking the province to
speed up a review of provincial -
municipal services.
"The previous government was no
friend of ours and he was a part of
it. I'm not sure this isn't a bit of
horn -tooting," said Grey Coun. Alvin
McLellan.
Hardeman's resolution asked the
province to look at the increasing
costs to municipalities when deliver-
ing services.
"Our party (the Conservatives)
understands that since then (a
review 10 years ago) the cost of
delivering services has increased
substantially and municipalities
have been left with the additional
costs. We understand the pressures
that our municipalities are facing
and the difficult choices you are left
with - to raise property taxes or cut
services to try and make ends
meet," said Hardeman's letter to
council.
Tuckersmith Coun. Larry
McGrath asked if rural municipali-
ties would have good representation.
during the proposed review.
"He's trying to get them to speed
it up but it takes five minutes to put
a rule on the books and 25 years to
take it off. We can't afford the rules
they have now plus the downloading
to property taxes," said McGrath.
Clerk -Administrator Jack
McLachlan said Hardeman has a
good rural background and should
be aware of rural issues.
