Home Newspaper of Hills Tilt III HAH October 13 A of Canadian Newspapers Limited south 1 Ontario Second Mall Chambers bus an impressive positive step It good to see the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce taking some affirmative action In a move announced by Chamber director Rick West late last week the local group will be sponsoring an in town bus service beginning November and running through the month of December The bus system is designed to kill two birds with one stone An in town bus service has long been advocated by many Georgetown residents but the idea has been shied away from because of fears about the projects costs as well as uncertainty about ridershlp potential Mr West says the Chamber hopes the new temporary bus service will serve as a test of the Georgetown transit market and may lead to the implementation of a full time service A nominal fee of cents for adults will be charged for the bus rides while senior citizens and children are free Certainly if local residents t interested in using a transit system at this price there is simply no market tor a bus system in this town The transit system is designed to hit the town s major shopping areas as as comb the residential districts rather ex tensivelv Not only is tins route likely to appeal to the largest number of shoppers it will as Mr West says help keep Georgetown shopping dollars in town And that the second reason for the November December bus system The Chamber hopes thJt with this affirmative action they will make shopping locally for Georgetown residents If anything would help local chants it has to be easier access to their stores for the customers The nicest thing about the Chamber bus service is that they will cover any de the service incurs At cents per you can be sure the Chamber won I cover their costs with their ticket prices Its nice to see private business paying for a service like this rather than the municipal government Let hope the system gets to warrant the Chamber gamble and hopefully to lead to the eventual creation of a bus service in Georgetown Nonvoters make political statement It would be easy to look at the low voter turnout in last week s by election to fill an action seat on council and self righteously declare that voters don t take their politics seriously But you d be wrong Certainly a turnout of less than is per cent of the eligible voters is nothing to cheer about But perhaps by their absence from the polls Acton voters were indeed making political statements We ve said It before both candidates in the byelection did not particularly address them selves to issues in fact atone point the two political hopefuls declared there were no issues the cam paign Maybe the voters shared our deciding there was no real difference between the can opted to stay home last Tuesday night instead of voting While one candidate said he would enact the will of something called the majority if elected regarding the Plaza he never stated a position on the proposal and thus gave voters no way to indie ite thur preference In fact of all issues facing Acton voters based on the success of a recent pro plaza petition campaign you blame Acton voters if they had felt a little frustrated in their desires to ex support through the ballot ox for the plaza By abstaining from taking a position on the plaza or any other specific issues the candidates gave little reason to go out and vote With no issues to differentiate the candidates Acton voters who didn personally know either of the candidates had little information to make an educated decision It seems that rather than make an uninformed vote many Acton residents decided to skip voting all together Still enough residents did go out and cast their ballot for newcomer Terry Grubbe to win and to Mrs Grubbe we offer our sincere congratulations We hope that through her promise to stay in touch with Acton she docs indeed reflect the will of her new con stituency in the coming year Uniform sewer rate promotes region The cause of regional govern merit was furthered again last week as Halton council in a close vote decided in favor of uniform sewer rates throughout the region The move will clearly benefit Oakville and the north end of the region particularly Acton Uniform rates should go a long way towards cooling the heated ob jections of many Acton residents to regional government For too long some Acton residents have felt regional government brought them plenty of burdens with the new system but few if any assets Often it has been argued that with its one regional council member and a supposedly sympathetic mayor Actons was usually an unheard and unheeded voice in the woods at regional council But certainly last week s vote has to go a long way towards erasing these fears Rather than having to bo ap peased with the lofty promise From provincial officials selling regionalism in abstract terms Acton residents will now the Dements in cold hard cash Sewer rater in will decline by eight pi r cent in January where they will stay for two years Now that how to sell the region But the new system is not merely a bribe to once and for all get Actonians to accept regional government it simply a natural step for a truly regional govern It seemed from the start that a natural benefit of regional government would be a pooling of resources in terms of providing equal levels of quality ana costs for municipal- services This is now beginning to happen And certainly Hills residents had to be impressed with regional chairman Jack Proving once and for all hes not a Mr cast the tie breaking vale in the uniform sewer rates decision He did this even though it meant voting against the wishes of his former colleagues the Burlington councillors at the region Although uniform sewer rates will not directly benefit Mr home constituency of Burlington Mr voted as a true regional chairman should for the good of Halton and regional government It certainly a step in the right direction FEEL Line A tugs heart strings for sympathy over his firing Ottawa The Herald Thin Is something almost pithetic ibout watching trying desptruttly to himself common working mm tin
