4 'THE OSHAWA TIM ES, Monday, June 20, 1960 DIRECTORS OF TOWNS and Village Section of the Ontario Municipal Association, photo- graphed at its seventh annual conference held at Ajax, Friday Would Limit Growth Of Municipality AJAX (Staff) -- The Saturday fporning sessions of the town's and village's conference was pre- ceded by a boat trip at Rotary Park. John Pearson, field liason of- fieer, Community Planning Branch, of Munici- pal Affairs spoke on the "'Opti- mum Size of the Community". It was evident from the feeling in some of Mr. Pearson's re- marks that he was much in favor "of Jimiting the growth of muni-| {eipalities. [ « He cited the city of Stockholm *where, due to overloading of! .municipal services, it was de-| cided to limit the growth. To| sgvercome the problem, a subway | "was built some 3 or 4 miles out "tide the city and there a new community was begun in four sections. The pattern for the new town was setup and the sections filled as the demand arose. The result a well established new * community on planned lines. 'FORM SATELLITE In Yellow Springs, Ohio, it was decided to keep the town small. Its smallness gave an in- "timate , knew everyone else and it was con- sidered if one wanted a good 'life the place to go was Yellow Springs. Mr. Pearson noted that small towns didn't get too much co-op- eration from the provincial gov- ernment. They often find the de- partment has approved a sub- division on its borders which be- are told to extend the services, and so force an enlargment. One comment came from the gathering that county costs force th many towns to grow as fast as possible so that they may get out of the country system. NOT WANTED Mayor William Parish said, "We are in the Metro planning area and they seem to want to extend its area still further west. ward. Ajax is one municipality trying to develope to optimum size, and despite this fact Metro seems determined to make this a larger area and the ent is allowing this to continue. We do not want to be a part of a mam- moth Metro area where one muni- cipality is controlling the plan- ning of another." 1 Killed, 6 Injured In Head-On Crash TORONTO (CP)--Ernest Hay- hoe, 20, was killed and six per- pons injured in a head-on colli- sion Friday night in suburban Etobicoke.

Scott of aris, was but one of the many criti ds heard at the Sev- nthf annual conference of the Town's and Village Section of the Ontario Municipal Association held in Ajax, Friday and Satur- day. . Nearly 100 delegates attended from all parts of the province. On Friday, following a recention and dinner the delegates heard a challenging address by Reeve Joseph Sams of Waterdown. His topic, "The Future of the County System of Government", Mr. Sams address was the first official report of discussions held between representative of nine counties and an executive council of -the provincial cabinet. Reeve Sams reviewed the ac tion taken by his committee and the basic reasons. He said, "Two years ago the county of Went- meal annexation. Ore comrlete township and parts of five others were annexed. We found that eight other counties faced the same problem, either past of pending. We learned from pro- vincial authorities that 250 appli- cations had been received since the last war, only five are not settled. We found that government policy was dictated hv the lack of local municipal unity." A survey was ec rried out representatives of the nine coun- ties and a further studv was made of conditions in the USA. These facts were combined in a brief as the best approach to make the province aware of our problems. PRESENT BRIEF "We presented our brief which outlined things which we felt were basically wrong with the county system which is an integral part of municipal government and has not 'basically changed since its inceptiop." "Our brief pointed out the great disparity in assessment, and the standard of assessors, which is the very foundation of our taxing systém." One or two municipalities to encourage industry have been try- ing to attract it illegally, apply- ing assessment irregularly to the school boards, Representatives of clean politics yet broke the law every day. How can they justify it? -] Reeve Sams suggested the re- medy. "The establishment of a county assessment department with deputy assessors responsible for local assessment on a uni. form on a uniform standard". |LEVY SEPARATE "There should be permissive, not compulsory legislation", Other items in the brief in- |"In Wentworth county, 38 school boards each levying separately, each vying with each other in the hiring of teachers.
