Council yesterday attempted leave all of Its options open The temporary location will give the regional time to make a final decision of whether to construct a new administration building or to renovate and move back into the former county administration building The county building Is strongly favored by Milton and Hills representatives I they have already lost one on the subject when it was decided in December to negotiate the province to set a selling price on the building LEEWAY Halton Region Gone Wrong By David Lees It seemed like such a good idea Centralize staff avoid duplication and cut costs but something went wrong and not in County Provincial opposition leader Nixon now says region i has resulted In an BO per cent increase in the expenditures of local governments and wilh no particularly sound return on the investment Mr Nixon is taking the stand in defense of his borne riding County now threatened by the infectious and expensive administrative disease As in other regions there will be a tremendous increase in costs without a parallel increase in services he declared a statement not likely to be disputed by the burdened taxpayers in regionalized areas In Halton Hills the populace may look at a case in point the top level The theory that fewer politicians representing a large area will reduce costs broke down last week when the council here announced their new pay rates Instead of paying politicians spread over in three municipalities salaries totalling residents in Hills now pay only 12 councillors and one mayor DEMOCRACY WILL SUFFER Obviously participatory democracy will suffer with only half the politicians representing a steadily growing population but of course ihe people I everything especially when they consider that having only 12 politicians instead of will cost them only an additional at the new pay rate bargains like that don l come along every day Considering salaries paid to the new man regional council however Hilts is getting away with a killing The councillors cost total of at their new pay rile of SB a staggering Increase over the of last years county council each 12 man council drew only out of the county coffers The year before that they took home only There arc fringe benefits naturally one of which is that those healthy salaries are one third lax free a windfall almost as advantageous as the salary increases themselves The red lap thai accompanies the increased complexity of the new government paid off last week least for men al the top of It It served strangle a planned protest of a Burlington ratepayers group that turned out to speak against the raise that was voted Into effect on Wednesday Leo chairman of the group ineffectually waved a petition he carried bearing ihe names of i citizens who protest the increase He was not allowed to speak His organization had not applied early enough to be included on the agenda DISAPPOINTED WITH RESPONSE Mr Haber said he was disappointed by the low of members of his organization entitled BRIC Burlington Regional Investigation Commitlce but it would have little if any more than the approximately members at the meeting arrived He wis disappointed however announcement made by group that they would cram he chambers received wide publicity earlier in the week It was perhaps as a result of that news that the chamber doors tarried for the first time a sign noting that occupancy by more than GO persons posed a fire threat unlawful Itwasalso perhaps result of that news lhat one veteran reporter noted the crowd included six regional policemen dressed in plain all turned out to be a tempest in a teacup Mr never did get lo speak and for his few shouted remarks made from the spectator the unpleasant topic money never came up Count 1 1 approved their raise when they voted in favor of authorizing all the past business conducted in 1973 before the council held office on behalf of Mr moved discussion of the money matter be held separately but council even agree to thai The Hills bloc still fresh from the pay raise they gave Just the day before solidly in favor of lumping ihe salarv issue into ihe anonymous mass of other past business Morrow was absent from the meeting In the past he has criticized regional raise a vole of 13 the Issue was burled al least for the moment the other increased costs Involved In the new government however this issue won be easily seems anyone in the region or in Halton Hills w ill doubt the words of Robert Nixon now that he Is about staggering costs Increases The only question that remains now that is committed into regionalize I ion is where was he when we needed him Clash Party Last Week Delta Beta the Exempler chapter of Beta Sigma Phi in Georgetown entertained from Zcla
