The Advance -Times checked with University of Guelph assistant head of grounds, Mike Bladon, and he agreed that the Norway maple is generally a poor choice of tree for a residential area because it grows so quickly and so large. Because most varieties of the tree grow very tall the trees have to be trimmed to keep branches away from hydro lines and houses. The golf course where the trees will be planted is the ideal site for the fast-growing Norway maples, Mr. Bladon said.

By a 36 to 16 vote March 29 council reduced its size from 45 members to 29, beginning with the 1981 term. The restructuring means that only municipalities with 2,500 or more voters will send both a reeve and a deputy reeve to county council. At present municipalities with 1,000 or more voters send 'two representatives to the county. Under the new system only Goderich, Exeter and the township of Stephen will qualify to send two representatives to county council. The townships of Tuckersmith, Goderich, Howick and Hay and the town of Clinton are close to having 2,500 electors and will probably qualify to send deputy reeves'by 1981. The restructuring was done in an attempt to streamline council. Under the old system the 45 - member council, considered by some already too large to be practical, was about to become even larger. West Wawanosh Township is eligible for a deputy reeve under that system and Bayfield is also very close to qualifying. Some members of council balked at the idea of trimming deputy reeves. Deputy Reeve Harold Wild of Wingham said he felt councillors should take the matter back to their respective municipal councils for discussion and direction. He said he felt he couldn't make a decision and would like to "talk about 0 at home". Turnberry Deputy Reeve Harold Elliott said he thinks the position of deputy reeve "provides a good opportunity for younger people to get into this (county council business) for the time they step up to reeve lie also said he feels the reeves left at the council table would be unable to handle all the county business and committee work County Clerk Bill Handy said about the only thing to be altered under the new system would be the number of councillors. The voting powers of individual municipalities would change very little, he said. He pointed out that where a rural municipality now has two votes of a total of 57 it would have one vote of a total of 30. He also noted rural votes will still outnumber urban under the new system. Rural votes now make up 65 per cent of the total and urban 35 per cent. After restructuring rural votes would amount to 57 per cent and urban 43 per cent The clerk added that restruc- turing is not doing away with de- puty reeves, just reducing the size of council. "Deputy reeves aren't going anywhere. They're still going to be here (county council) for two years. The only difference is that in two years deputy reeves are not going to be elected to come to county council but to represent electors at home." He added that the reduction in the size of county council will save taxpayers money. He couldn't say how much the saving would be, but estimated each county council member costs about $2,000 a year.
