Most of the men and women assembled. in the spacious Harr beeirlite Inn sat quietly as they listened to the Assoeiatien,s "Blueprint for Local govern. meet Re-organization" as it was explained by fiye'speakers. Mr, Hateinail had noted at the outset of the meeting that the panel bad come "not to brainwash but to discuss and critically analyze" the extent of reform which is needed at the numieilial and county level to keep pace with a modern, changing World.

It was further stated that the heads of municipalities would be called "mayor" rather than "reeve" and that the name of "warden" (often confused with jail keeper) become "county chairman," - BOUNDA.RIBS "What is a suitable size for a municipality, a county?" asked D9n Rodgers, reeve of the village of Stirling at the beginning of his ta.11taboutboun. daries. He answered his own clues. ton. "It should be large enough to assume a certain set of services without imposing un.. due hardships on the tax. payers," he said. "Peoplewant more services at a minimum cost," "If we want local autonomy Mr. Rodgers insisted, "we can. not be too small." He gave his opinion that counties should have a population of from 100,000 to 150,000 persons. Acreage, he added, was no yard. stick but rather population and assessment. , ,Voluntary amalgamation was the answer, he thought, "We must join with our neighbours to form a larger form of govern., ment to our own liking," Rod. gers pointed out. "Presently we have too many small mania. panties trying to provide a service and wanting a voice at the county level." Mr. Rodgers asked two per. tinant questions. "Is it right for a community With Lg990 pepple4to Ave the same power of vote as tritr fkkodeiv .'hd a:Wed. ° Illow many rural municipal.

"Small municipalities are bedroom communities for the cities and we want some of their industrial assessment." "What about representa. ton?" asked another listener Of Rodgers! “Are we to be de. your ed?" "Control should revert back to the localities," answered Rodgers. "We must hatre a mature type ef government. Our neighbours have the same COrtw mils as we have. Nie must learn to trust them to take care of our affairs. If it will bene. fit my community I don't care if Pm no longer a reeve." FUNCTIONS Ted Isley, warden of the county of Waterloo thought that any successful system would • have the entire community mi.• der one county jurisdiction, "This will require some raw vamping but not destruction of all municipal governments," he said. "in so far as possible, legislative powers should be close to the people." He said that the functions of the new county government should be. those which are best' performed on an area basis and would probably vary from . county to county. Isley foresees all the powers of the present county body retained, and many more duties added with the aso sumption of some types of ser.( vices by the county which would supplement the service contin. wing at the local level. ' Isley also spoke out for per- missive legislation to allow each county to determine its own pattern of local government with regard to re-allocation of responsibilities. He quoted the report that such a system would require a majority vote of the members of county council for that county to assume any, new • pONVer,pricre`sPPOsibility, r, -Dnder 7.•stidk-'ii4;$14N-Spe§!tal purpose' • bodies -z.Stich'ig'.-the recreation commissions, 'h o ptt4. planning -.boards, pphlie utility- COM MISPiens, .exit bitlon and beards,..0304Strig,C9itlo iniSSiOnS, etct Wonlcil?ecorne .the responsibility of .eQ1Ant7 eetnigi/. • WIttrett Gould, County 04.• tario, dealt witlit his in a special presentation.

County council 'traditionally did not establish a reputation for pioneering new fields, Rather they 'showed a great reluctance to accept change. consequently, the pro fincial governine.nt has. looked more to.bop-45.40 con* missions than to county council when it has something new to Introduce." The report continued, "Your committee recommends that elected people have more to say about the spending of the money they have to raise. Councils set the mill rate. There is no group better informed regard. ing the financial position of the municipality and therefore, it should be the council that has the authority to set priorities ' when the various boards and commtsions present their bud. gets. To this end and in an effort to establish better Mi. 'son between appointed boards- and elected councils, it should be permissive for the appoint. ing body to name a majority of elected council members to any board or commission," • The• majority of special pur. pose bodies could be abolished and their functions performed by a committee of. council," - the report say's. "Council would have to have full-time positions to Cope with this," was one remark from the floor. • "Our communities' will suf. fer," said another spokesman from the floor, "The needs of the community are reflected by the people who live there." Mr. Gould and his associates were in agreement that since elected officials got the blame for financial andadministration problems they should have a s.gr eater part to play,,i,n,the,,,„„, decisions.

The ebunty chairman (warden) woula hold office for three years and be eligible for re-electiono LONG DAY , It had been a long day for the delegates. During the sum., mation in late afternoon by Archie Cecchini, reeve of the town of Thorold, many persons got up and left the room to go home. At the conclusion, thoughtful men and women returned to their own municipalities topon. der the sessions. General comments about the amount of Mien-nation gleaned at the meeting were good; con. cerning the quality of the recona. mendations put forth by the Association of Ontario Counties which encompasses all 37 count ties in the province, delegates were mute. Even Cal Krauter, the jovial vtarden of Huron County who aiticipated in the openljg ceremonies, was caught up inYa pensive mood.
