At the same time most of the Si) persons in. attendata e voiced disapproval of regional govern- ment as it now applies to seven areas in Ontario, During a request from Chairman Bill Waters who is mayor of Parkhill not one hand *was raised favouringtheproposed form of governing. A London area engineer Steve Janes suggested Parkhill, Ailsa Craig and the townships of McGillivray and East and West Williams would make a workable region, t He continued, "Our strength lies in beefing up smaller groups, A small region can handle roads, water, sewers, welfare, libraries, etc., but they can't handle the issues of economy, employment and the environment." Bill Seaton, a Lambeth newspaper editor said in any new government representation should be taken by population. An ex-member of Westminster township council, Seaton said his municipality with a population of 6,500 and an assessment of 14 *million would get little say in a larger group, especially if the City of London was included. Seaton went on to say he thought the name regional government was ill conceived and should be called reform of • municipal government.

T-A photo Thanksgiving theme Thames Road ladies meet John McKenzie, Reeve of East Williams township said he was unable to find one advantage to regional government but many reasons against it, "First of all, we are going to lose local control and what happens to our costs? With the new county education system in existence our school taxes have gone up 90 percent. I wish we had our old inefficient school boards back again," continued McKenzie. The East Williams Reeve said, "when you join rural and urban municipalities together inequalities are sure to mushroom." He cited the case of the county library system where East Williams residents pay three dollars per capita for library services and Parkhill pays only $1.20. In reply to McKenzie's believe that they have so far, In earlier comments, Condon said Strathroy does not plan to hold a plebiscite on the issue but in his words, "we're still against it," "When the regional govern- ment theories are put into practice they are deficient. Duplication of services is inevitable and the smaller units lose their identity," stated the Strathroy mayor. Condon also listed many other disadvantages of the new proposed system. He said his father lived in the region of York on a fixed income and his taxes have increased by 35 percent, He said he was not in favour of the present two-tier system in operation in some of the seven Is in Ontario, "The two-tier Is great in theory but it's not realistic. The upper tier becomes impersonal," said Condon. Ontario said he wasn't sure the two-tier system of regional government would last. O'Brien added, "I wouldn't say the province ignores the small segment. It's possible to have a urban area rate and a rural tax rate." To this Mrs. Sypnowich said, "I think the ,me tier system is being looked at. I know problems exist with the rural areas." Back on the subject of local control, Bill Seaton remarked, "If we get rid of anything let's make it the Ontario Municipal Board. The general public doesn't realize that Queen's Park dictates to local councils." Condon agreed that the OMB does overide decisions of local officials. He cited the instance where one person objecting out of a total of 141 ratepayers in a — Please turn to page 4A statement on the toss of local autonomy, Mrs. Marcia Syp- nowich who represented the Ontario Ministry of Municipal and Governmental Affairs said, "what do you have control over now? She said in the last provincial election the Conservatives didn't lose anything over regional government issues, To this Strathroy Mayor Condon quip- ped, "Maybe their memories won't be so short at the next election," In his concluding remarks, Reeve McKenzie said a more equitable tax base was necessary. "You can't combine urban and rural under the same tax structure."
