would result.
Other advantages, listed by
Chief Ted Day, of Exeter, in-
clude: - central dispatching and
communications, probably
located in Clinton; - personal
portable radios for all officers'
on patrol; - identification of-
fices for fingerprinting and
photography; a. Canadian

minal at main administration
offices; - a breathalizer in-
stalled at administration of-
fices; - appointment of one of-
ficer as court officer for the
county, freeing others for duties
elsewhere. -
The county would..be divided
into five divisions. One of the
current chiefs /would head the
force and the other four would
be superviabts,•of their respec-
tive divisions.
•
The union of the five forces
would bring an equalization in
pay and benefits for officers
serving in each division.
Discussion of ct7m-
munleations dominated a lar"ge
portion of the meeting. Ronald
Durand, a specialist with the
police commission, explained

At tirmes. the air currents didn't allow the smoke to escape
and the seas were too high to open the hatch. The smoke
forced Miss Pinchin' and Mr. Searles back out into the cold

they v,vouIrin't recommend it to anyone. -

and the province. The province
would pay 75 Percent and the

Some persons at the meeting
dismissed the spending. Thev
.said that the 25,. percent
municipal share would be
wasted irthe provincial govern-
ment passed legislation which
put, , the OPP to work
throughout the county. o
Whether that legislation is
passed or not has confused the
issue of creating a county force.
Chief Pat King, of Goderich,
explained that the chiefs have
been studying the possibility

If county council asks for the
police study and the. provincial
government grants it, options
'are left open. If the study con-
'i'luded that OPP service in the
county is preferable, further ac-
tion to 'study a county force
would be unnecessary. .
If a county -.force was deemed.
suitable, council and the five
municipalities would have the

however, could give a satisfac-
tory explanation of how. costs
would be . shared by
municipalities if a county force
was' formed. U
Although an average cost per
person could be levied on each
municipality according to its
population, Mr. Bell noted that
per capita levies are ,unfair.
Assessments in each town,
village and township differ.
In more industrialized
municipalities, costs to in-
dividual
taxpayers
would
be
lower as industries pay large
portions of tax assessments. •
No , precedent exists that
could be used as a basis for
funding a county police force,
The county force would put
an end to free policing the rural
townships now enjoy. Judge
T.J. Graham, with the,' police
commission, said part of the
task force report stresses that
every person in the province
should pay for policing.
The townships, as 13art of
