Ralph Hunter; reeve of the
town of Alliston in the county
of Sirncoe began his remarks
by assuring all present, "We
are not specialists." He went
on to say that while most county
councils are too large to be
efficient, a streamlined hard-
hitting county government could
evolve from an equally stream•
lined, hard-hitting municipal
body of elected officials.
Known as the two-tiered sys.
tern — municipal council the
first level and county council
the second level - it is believed
to provide the highest possible
amounts of "access and ser.
vice" as advocated in theSmith
Report.
Mr. Hunter said the two.

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

floor. •
"Our communities' will suf.

from the floor, "The needs of

Mr. Gould and his associates

It had been a long day for
the delegates. During the sum.,

Archie Cecchini, reeve of the
town of Thorold, many persons
got up and left the room to go

At the conclusion, thoughtful
men and women returned to
their own municipalities topon.

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.
