com pensate the people of North for the loss of Industrial assessment when regional government is Implemented January to look for Industrial assessment in North and It we dont get It or grants well be Ihe poor people of the North he He feels a cautious attitude would be best accustom people In the North to regional government Therefore he thinks suboffices should be established in the three communities rather than having nil the eggs In one central town office but points out this will be he decision of the North council not one ihe mayor can make ar bitrarily Favors development He favors

and have made the necessary arrangements to become a full time mayor should I be chosen to represent the people of the north he says As mayor he would hope to be able to bring out the best In the individual councillors under him utilising the abilities and personalities of each to the fullest He feels council should be obligated to bear any delegation that wishes to present a case but adds that in the beet Interests of both parties prior notice of the delegation coming and the topic to be discussed should be given Meeting policy Press attendance at committee meetings perhaps should be at the discretion of the majority of council he suggests al though he himself has no objection to the press attending committee meetings except in cases of policy and personnel matters Even then he emphasises all decisions made In cam era should be released immediately after Mr Smith says he does not Intend to become parochial In his outlook simply because he lives In Georgetown During the past It years I have represented three separate wards In town of Georgetown and In every case Ive voted on Issues that would support the majority he points out Ho says ho would rely heavily on Information

Intelligently he promises Area headquarters he says should be centrally located and area where If necessary additional property could be ob tained reasonably and quickly He would set up satellite offices in the municipalities which do not have the headquarters and advertise the days and hours during which he would be there to meet ratepayers Planning stand Mr Smith feels good agricultural land In Esquesing should be protected yet council should try to provide industry In the area in the proper place so that people may be able to live work and play within the area boundaries In the field of recreation he would be prepared to organize a fact finding committee of citizens to assess the needs of the Ac ton area He was responsible for setting up a similar commit tee in where a swimming pool recreational complex is to be built He emphasizes that recreation covers ball parks Council must make sure same sensible controls are place on development he says He also suggests services should be charged back to the people of the particular ward or wards that arc benefitting from them Mr Smith says he will do everything in his power as a mem ber of the Region council to see that the transition from police protection to regional policing will be gradual He hopes the elected council will do everything possible to hold tax bus in each ward similar to what It Is now Mr Smith persevered at meetings with provincial author ties which ultimately led to extension of the service to Georgetown That service begins In December and It Is his in conclusion Mr Smith points out one major advantage

municipal Mr suggests new headquarters would bo bent at the present township offices location on Road He feels this is the only logical place for tho headquarters since there Is a nucleus to start from Acton and It is the most central existing point to the established urban communities Ho also feels strongly that there should be some visible sign that all three municipal lies belong In North without disturbing the unique characteristics of each one The idea of a large complex at one central point from which everything Is controlled Is abhorrent He Is also concerned that senior citizens In all three com munities should have strong representation and suggests the local municipality should be spearheading a coordinated effort within Region and neighboring Peel to approach the province
