ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Establishied in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester .- Editor and Manager Subseription payable in advance In, U.S.A. $2.50 Published every Thursday at the office of publication In Support 0f County Councils Dissatisfactiom, in the district and elsewh7lere, with the large share-of counity road expenditures paid for by towns and large share o! counity road expenditures paid for by twons and villages has led ta suggestions emnanating froin ail over the province thiat the couaty system be abolished. There is a feeling- that county governinent is dominated by rural townships which tend ta ride roughishod over the wishes of urbani municipalities ,where a majority of the population and assessment are located. In this connrection the counicil of th~e United Counties of Stor-mont, Dundas an-d Glengarry hias recently issued a memorial, inwhc the hiistor-y and signiificanice of caunity cauncils is dis- cussed quite exhaustively. The mnemorial points out that thie de- oeomn f county governient in British North America was in marked contrast ta the French adiniistration ai Quebec, %where no provision for- local autonomy wvas included in the goverimental s\ystem. Ontario counity gavernment developed in the l8th and l9th,. centuries in a way parallel ta the developmnent ai county govern. ment in Britain, and had its origins in the same histrical roats, stemming- froin early -Anglo-Saxon local councils. Bath still are a far cry main the local governiment of France, where local officiais at ail but the lowest level are appointed by the central government. Ais the Stermont, Dundas and Glengarry memorial points out the county council la an older Institution in Ontario than the town or township ceuncil, or, for that matter, than the OnTtaria legislative assembly. Its functian, in theory at least, is te provide local controi aven certain governinental functions whichi would bc too costly or uruwieldly for a town or township te administer, and yet where centralizatien in the -provincial capital la not nec- essary.- It is the opinion e! this newspaper that abolition of couty counicils would create more probleins than it would salve. Most caunty services - the health unit, the home for the aged, the administration o! justice, ta naine a few - could not be handled separatelv by eajçh town or township, ai-d thieir centralization at Queen's Pr wotlld ilead tû less- rathker tlian more efficietiêy. The manst serlotls cefect i the present system in our opinion is that the county coundcllers, removed a yit frein the people they~ represent, are not as careful o! the ratepayer's money as when they are sitting at their own municipal couneil tables. And this lsaa log-ical result af the fact that mast ratepayers de pet pay attention te what is going on at Counties Council. Indeed, we venture ta gue-ss that thex-e are- natepayers who do nat kniow that counties counecil exists, though the press rep~orts its meetings regularly. Revisions in the makeup af county couneils may indeed be in arder. It wouid seem only fair te give the towns which are pro- vidlng most of the tax mnoney a langer share of the representation. Othen changes in the details o! county governinent perhaps de- serve se-nous study. But county governinent rfils an important niche in our system, aid its chief weakness - as is the case wlth goyernnient at every level - is lack of public interest. -The Port Hope Guide ofyouirlfei Q'4TAfUO DEPARTMENT OF TRAVEL AND PUBLiCiTY lHomn.
