Gordon act as a liaison between the countys Social Services Management Branch and the Credit Counselling Service set up Burlington u a pilot project Mr Tyler said the service offered in Burlington was a duplication of services offered by the county and he felt it was unnecessary to establish liaison between the groups He objected to the remuneration that would be paid to Reeve Gallagher for silting at the meetings Reeve Hunter of Georgetown objected to spending any funds to keep in touch with the Burlington group Reeve Ron Hams of Milton noted the point in having Mr Gallagher serve as liaison was to keep the county in touch with the project He along with Reeve A Mac Arthur of Nasugaweya favored the liaison and argued it would benefit the county as a whole Oikville Reeve William Gtlliei and Deputy Reeve A Speight of Georgetown also spoke in favor of the liaison After some discussion it was decided to have Mr Gallagher on the committee Should the Burlington project work out well serious thought would be given to the county taking it over on a county basis
