the local school board came originally from the town of Weston He feels with that background he can relate the problems or Weston and Metro Toronto with that of Acton and her new role as her identity and will be considered as Acton for many years he said and referring to Weston which was In corporate Into metro some years ago said Weston Is still very much Weston I do not In pat stands he said but feels that the councillors chosen to represent Acton should be responsible thinking people qualified to handle Actons affairs He is not concerned that Acton a will not be heard as against the larger Georgetown community as Acton and to gether will balance me two ward voice of Georgetown Larger area He prefers North as a suitable name for the new own as he feels it best describes the total people

zest for regional pel I Iks Mr Chapman has checked his a a liability to attend meetings and give strong representation He says that there has been too little public communication and explanation as to the role of the and whys of the new government He feels that all council meetings should be open but that committee meetings should be kept within the committee until firm decisions are made Too much confusion exists as to the set up of tonal government I would like to sec more public enlightenment The whole point of ional government CHAPMAN Mr Chapman Is to sup ply taxpayers with the best possible service In the most economical way Chapman the man who says he has ways been known as the Scrooge on most boards feels that he would work to wards costs on all Issues be ing kept to a
