To a maze: �' Bureaucracy .for the man on the outside sometimes can come across as a tangled web of department and people, a seemingly impenetrable maze. To get ;questions answered -or something done may,rnean an endIss |abyr|nthof buck -passing, an atteTpt to crack fie kn-ervious web. But there was ag||mmer of hope at an information 'Sermloar held at the County Assessment -Office last week by the 88|n|StrY of Trwasury, Econohlics and|nt Intergovernmental affairs. The information seminar intended to and for the most part did dear a path through the bureaucratic maze. The idea was the brainstorm of J.. Spence McIntosh, Local Government Advisor for the M•injstry of Treasury, Economics and |ntergovordnnmhta| Affajrs. What Mr. McIntosh attempted trddwas familiarize town and county council members with the location, ° operation, aims and iurisdictions of various ministries withJn the - provincial government- that within, Councillors would. rnnyf likely en- counter. yh effect he is attempting, to bre.ak'bUroaucrat|c barriers between bigand little .governments d., gov � Mr. McIntosh and his group will visit several counties in 'southwestern Ontario and cannot help but oet a ~ -'~ ^ . ~~ favourable reactCon. County councits have many transactions with provincial government agencieswhich Were simply silent invisible dictators. n"e had to wonder who these people vvarefhat dministered grants, refused ibning bylaw amendments, lost ap plications and were never when ohe called, The ,seminar had rmpr mntatives fron7 the- KNn|atry of Adrico|ture.

The rninioters explained their ro|es�� he jurisdiction, and their aims their �ur|s )ct�' a e nns within the county itself. For both the ,members, in attendance and the ,ffin|stryrepresentatives signatures on photocopied letters became,. faces, 'zpeop|e oddly eriough concerned and � willing to act.. The barrier was broken and perhaps it as only for that 'y. ,But man, hast unusualan penchaM for hoping a,na -' vKho knowo? ` Someone Could stumble through l'he maze., (DS) ' SOrnedhnes a quick note to the local nevvmpaper editor' tan reveal the strangest things: Last week!" for in- stance, this office _received, a gentle . .though definite suggestion to 'find puf what happens to the wood from the trees whichare cut down around town.
