M the outset•of the dis- cussion suggested by Chairman Borden Cook, reeve of "Blyth, to take the” form of a "clause by clause study" , Reeve Ken Stewart, McKillop, asked that council go into a committee of the whole with the press and all other spectators excluded. Following recall, Clerk John Berry issued.. a prepared statement to the press that the proposal had been turned down "until such time as a more clear cut plan of regional government is established4o'r • •all,forms of county govern-' rent." A recorded vote showed 43 against and four in favour of the amalgamation. " The report had recom- mended the amalgamation not on the strength of the Ontario Department of Health's pro- mised increase of subsidy from bu per cent to a per cent" alone. but with an eye to im- proved and expanded services to the public. The. proposed new district was -to have in- cluded the counties 01- Huron and Perth, the city of Strat- ford and the town of St. Marys.' Of the 11 -Member propo"sed board. four members were to • have (been appointed from Huron. The report had also pro-" posed that either a secretary or a. treasurer be. appointed from each of the two counties in- volved. Headquarters, the. board, recommended, should be in a central—area.
