BOWMANVILLE © MN YY ATALAL EPRESENTATIVE--HENRY HO LFORD AND DISTRICT. - = PHONE 881 VMlichael Starr Deplores ack Of Enthusiasm For Service To Municip -- "The sacri- ces of councillors at the munici- 'al level of government are much 'eater than those of representa- ves in higher levels," said Michael starr, Progressive - Conservative, .P. for Ontario County, speaking Rotarians at the Balmoral Hotel a the occasion of Municipal Night st Priday. "But the one conso- Jtion is that as a representative in our own community you are a big sllow--in Ottawa you are only a ackbencher," he said.

HOUSING SHORTAGE { Among the problems facing | councillors today, he cited the shortage of housing. Mr. Starr said that as soon as a council approves a permit to build a house, it is committing itself to expenditure. "Taxes will not cover the Costs of services provided," he said. He pointed to sewers, water, sidewalks, garbage collection, and police ser- vice as examples of high-cost ser- vice. "The only way to cut down expenditure is to stop building-- and you can't do that," he said. Mr. Starr gave the opinion that the best type of building to en- courage was for factories and of- fices. He said that fewer services were extended to those kinds of building, because they often had their own incinerators, or else little garbage, and often had their own security police system. Mr. Starr was the guest of Rotar- ian John James, Liberal M.P.
