With a broad smile, McKeough told council that "most consolidation talk has come to nothing so far." He said that Ontario has 900 municipalities, probably three times as many as there should be. "The answer is yes, " said McKeough, "we'll be delight- ed if some of these consolidat- ions are worked out." lv� eKeough went onto say that almost everyone is agreed that police villages should be phased out. "But how many municipal- ities have made a move to get rid of their own, " said McKeough. He added that most municipal politicians seem to prefer to let govern- ment make the necessary changes. "Then they can blame it on McKeough, " retorted the minister. Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey told McKeough than on two occasions, the county of Huron has asked to be named a region and then move to some consolidations within the region. "Why have we been ignored? McKeough answered that it was necessary to formulate a map for the entire province before any regions were establ- ished. !'We wanted to slow the proc- ess down and catch our breath, " continued McKeough. "Is it posslle for Huron County to become a region?" asked Thomas "If you want a quick answer it is no, " answered McKeough. "You don't meet the populat- ion criteria. You can't afford the services. A study has to be made. You have to take a look at the outer boundaries as well as inner boundaries." McKeough further indicated that the boundaries for mun- icipalities set up 100 years ago need not remain the same forever. Gerry Ginn, deputy -reeve of Goderich Township asked McKeough if consideration was being given to the method of taxing farmland. He was told that a new system of farm taxation was expected about the same time as the new ass- essment --probably 1974. Ginn also asked why money for certain "people" services such as health, welfare, lib- rary, could not be raised on a per capita basis rather than on an assessment basis. "I'm afraid that some good projects are going to be turned down in Huron because taxes are raised on an assessment bas- is, not on a per capita basis, " said Ginn. McKeough answered that the general trend now in provincial government is to assess grants to the municipalities on an assessment basis rather than on a per capita basis as in the past. McKillop's Reeve Allan Campbell asked about the in- creased cost for larger units of administration. "When any outfit goes bigger, it costs more, " said Campbell, "Why? It is supposed to be more economical." McKeough claimed he might be "over -simplifying" the situation, but he compared larger government units of administration to supermarkets. He said that most women no longer shop at the corner store because the supermarkets can give better prices, better quality, fresher produce and wider variety. "People are demanding more and more services and the cost of government has gone up in Playoff action in the Zurich Recreation League continues this week with a round-robin series in both the A. and B divis- ion starting on Monday night. In the group semi-finals, Blue - water knocked Charlies out in three straight games, while the Barber Boys gave D. J.'s the same treatment. The Farm Un- ion team, however, required four games to dispose of Ging- erichs. The three top teams are now playing a round-robin, and the two teams ending up on top of the heap will play a final series for the Rec League playoff championship. In the B division, the three losers in the first round will now play a round- robin series as well, with the two ending on top playing a final series for the B title. Bluewater and the Barber Boys played their first game of the round-robin series on Monday night, when the league winners registering a 10-0 victory over the Barbers. On Wednesday night the Blue - water played Farm Union in the same round-robin series, while Charlies played D, J. 's in the second half of the twin -bill. BLUEWATER 2 - CHARLIES 0 In one of the best -played games of the season last Wednes- day night, the Bluewater edged Charlies 2-0 in the third game of their series to win it in three straight. Jerry Rader on the mound for Charlies and Brian Hodgins for Bluewater hooked up a tight pitching duel which saw only a total of seven hits in the entire game. Hodgins came up with a one - hitter, allowing a single to Richard Schilbe in the second inning, while Rader gave up only six safeties. Rader struck out two, gave up one walk and hit one batter, while Hodgins struck out 12 men, walked one and hit one. The two runs for Bluewater were both scored in the sixth inning, when Hodgins reached first on an error to Charlies catcher after striking out.

An infield hit by Don Ayotte scored Hod- gins with the second Bluewater rune Beierling led the Bluewater at bat with two singles, while Charrette and Isidore Laporte both came up with doubles for the winners. Singles by Tony Denomme and Don Ayotte round- ed out the hitting for the victors. BLUEWATER 10 - BARBERS 0 In the first game of the round robin series on Monday night, Brian Hodgins had little trouble hand -cuffing the Barber Boys as he limited them to only two hits in the seven -inning tilt. At the same time he struck out a total of 16 batters, giving up only two bases on balls and' hit one. Shane McKinnon started on the mound for the Barbers and was pulled in the first inning after he walked the first two batters. Coming on in relief, Phil Overholt walked the next batter and then hit the next man, to give the Bluewater their first run. They scored twice in all of the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, and then added their final run the sixth. Doug O'Brien and Shane McKinnon were the Barbers who managed to earn a hit off Hod- gins, while the Bluewater hit safely seven times. Tony Den- omme led the attack with a double and single, while Percy Bedard and Ken Durand both came through with triples, Dave Durand chipped in with a double, while Don Ayotte and Dick Bedard both had singles. Unfortunately the scorebooks for the rest of the games during the past week were not compl- ete enough to allow a write-up of the games, but the Farm Union took two from Gingerichs after losing the second game of the series. Both games were high -scoring affairs. At the same time the Barber Boys posted something like a 40-4 score over the D. J.'s in the third game of their series, to take it three straight. the same way that the cost of food or anything else has gone •up, " said McKeough. "I shop at the corner store and so does my wife, " retorted Campbell. "And the prices don't vary that much from the supermarket." Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township complained to McKeough about the new county boards of education. He said these units were too far away from the people, that the operations of the school board are being directed by civil servants and that costs are too high for the value being received in education. "It is just no good, " said Elston. "I really can't agree, " answ- ered McKeough. It was six o'clock before the discussion came to an end, Dinner was served at the Bed- ford Hotel for county council- lors and their guests.
