The . planning board.
chairman said . he has no.`'
objection . to . the property,
being developed .pointing: out
. that the town needs .the lots
but he added that the town.
does not need the headaches
of unserviced subdivisions.'..
e. pointed out that the town
s undoubtedly Made errors
in the past in •this regard
citing the Delbar subdivision
as a classic example.'
The property in Delbar is
developed,.. the houses ' and
streets are built and now the
owners are screaming.for the
town to provide storm sewer
drains. The town, to drain the
area, would have to provide
.an outlet for the • Denier ..•
sewers and that would
necessitate the••construction
of a seWer right through to
Bayfield Road.
"Delbar has .bent over
backwards to put the services
in but the town has nowhere
to dump the water," said Mr.
Gower. "We want to. avoid
another situation like that."
The chairman • said the•

"tertain suggestions from the

He said the property would
need to be assembled into one

even when he was a 'deputy.
reeve, he believed there were
,,too many members on county
• council, But he was con.
cerned that ,if the number of
elected representatives ,was
fewer, more decision making
would fall to hared or ap-
• pointed personnel.
"County „ elected'
representatives must keep
the power - to make the
decisions," Reeve Ginn said.
Reeve Ginnacknowledged
that a saving of $•25-$30,000
per sangurc. was "a lot of
mondnyanybad:y's pocket",
but he wondered if additional.:•
savings couldn't• be realized;
He said if committees could
-be an'alganiated, perhaps it
was :conceivable then that
instead of two, department
heads and their salaries, •one:
department head would be,
sufficient.. ;
• If we can amalgamate the
committees .and the depar-
tment heads to look after both
services, that's ; where the
real savings will come :"in to
the county," said Reeve Ginn.
• Reeve Ginn spoke about a
decision reached earlier in
the session to have both the
development officer and the
county plan°rr-itig director at
public meetings about
secondary plans, He saw this
es a` "duplication".of ex-
penses. ,Instead of two at one
meeting; Reeve Ginn' won- •
dered if development and
planning couldn't -be
amalgamated. •under , one,
