strips Acton council is concerned that when regional government does come to that dividing lines between municipalities do not run along the roads In a written acknowledgment of their meeting with Minister of Municipal Affairs they made it clear they preferred boundaries to run on half concession lot lines rather than along the concession Referring to one example SideroadCounctllor Greer said it would be ridiculous to have Georgetown running one half of and Acton running the other half It had been suggested the boundary between the Acton and Georgetown run along the Side road However another councillor demanded to know where tins would put the proposed new between the Fifth and Sixth Concessions The answer was that the lot lines would split the strip down the middle Several derogatory remarks about the strip drew a reply from Councillor Chapman presiding for Committee of the Whole Everyone is concerned about the drag strip he said but does anyone know cars involved in these things cost to 15 Mr Chapman defended the people who participate in the races It is not them we are concerned about but those who come along with them was the answer from several councillors

different councils asking for a separate Peel reminded councl I that although he and Councillor Marks were on different sides of the fence at least they didnt change their minds every time the wind blew Marks stood for and Peel Im for Halton he boomed but we are two who speak for the people Councillor Chapman presiding for Committee of the Whole quipped will be speaking for both of you Mr Greer asked earlier whether the government was listening to the big shots in Peel or here He wondered what the rest of Peel would have voted if had vetoed a Peel deal Halton went along with a Peel Halton merger because Peel wanted it that way Most of Peel s 10 municipalities favored a Peel merger early in the regional government scramble fearing Mississauga would swing too much weight in a Peelonly deal Then the Peel politicians changed their minds and wanted a region of their own Mississauga was the only community to opt for he two county merger wonder what would have happened if the shoe was on the other foot and Mississauga voted against Halton and Peel councillor Greer mused Deputy Reeve Tyler was ready with the reply If they hadnt voted that way Mayor Speck would be out of a job The
