dollars and asked If he wanted a plebiscite on lhat too This man has never asked for a plebiscite interjected Morrow Hyde contended he had said it in the press urncss said he wasn He said he realized the town could afford il but the lion is do winl afford it Hyde said several regional governments had been estab lished before and no- one has suggested they be dismantled Itobartb is doing a study on that right now in t erup ted Morrow I just not his good friend Councillor Morrow retorted Hydt He asked why Dr lur nest other doctors hod centralized in a medical centre if hi didn I think the

been overwhelmingly established so he felt the tow should do with what they have McKcnzic suggested as a professional man Fur should be concerned about other professional men such us the engineers being housed in two bays of the works garage He asked if he would circulate a petition if the location was the Georgetown area Dr replied ihal lie lived and worked in He said the had nothing to do with it but timing was tune In reply to a question from Councillor Ernie Sykes Dr said he had been in the engineering department and the Seventh Line building but not in the Main Street building said

working well or and asked how the petition was presented to the people Mayor Tom Hill read the preamble on the top of each page of the petition asking council lo reconsider the complex in light of an in crease of in Luxes Persisting Sykes asked if urness thought the people knew they were signing The doctor said I hey signed for themselves and pointed five councillors had the same opinion I admire you for taking the lime do this staled Sykes It is conceivable at some lime my life may be in your hands I hope you do a more thorough diagnosis than you have done on Ihis Councillor Levy said the treatment of was like an inquisition or a third degree and was com uncalled for He said when a red herring was dragged in the handwriting is on the wall He claimed the needs of the staff have been put ahead of I he needs of dents in municipal and said existing facili lies are adequate He said if satellite offices are still needed in Acton and George town where would be Ihe saving in erecting the com Ley said the complex should be slopped now with to ihe Ontario Municipal Hoard which just more cost Councillor Hie Morrow said Ihc suggestion he had mom Dr and was an insult to both men and
