"I'm concerned"; said the Mayor. "Community and public_ relations right now appear to be very low. There seems to be a prob- lem. I hope it is not serious and I hope it can be resolved before things get worse." Mayor Taylor did not reveal the specific nature of the complaints he has received, other than to say that they mainly concerned attitude and "a lack of courtesy" on the part of the police in Scugog.

This . compromise was reached at a meeting last Thursday. These staff cuts resulted in a saving of $207,000 for the remaining nine months of 1979. In order to cut the budget by another $93,000 as reques- ted by the committee, the Police Commission met with the OPP Commissioner Harold Graham to discuss Regional police take over in Brock Township. By delaying this move by 60 days, it was found that an additional $67,525 could be accumulated. The OPP will continue to patrol Brock until the end of May, 1980.
