the sincere efforts of citizens and elected representatives to cooperate in making the system run smoothly Mr McKeough said that since the government has recently undertaken reviews in Hamilton

discussed by the group Mr has no idea when they will hold their meeting Committee chairman Peter could not be reached for a comment retailor to among Ward 1 Coun Pat McKenzic termed Mr McKeough reply as the only logical conclusion that could have been drawn after examining financial matters closely as councillors do He said Acton has gained financially through regional government because the town
