B10 The Acton Frea Press Wednesday Morrow pushes common rates By Bob Regional Chairman Morrow is bound and dcler mined to have nil water and sewer projects paid for out of a common fund instead of each of the communities in Hnlion paying for projects in its own municipals He claims that only then will Hallon Region be truly able to call itself a region I have a strong hope that all representatives on regional council one day v ill represent the community of and not sit as a representative from Acton Burlington or During a discussion at a public works meeting last week the chairman said there is no reason or justification why there should be five different water rates within the one region We have to act like a community the community of If we throw It out for once and for all we 11 never be come a region Lord knows the last council come to grips with he lold the committee Morrow indicated that he push to have tht matter of uniform water rates and equalized brought before council soon after the budget is passed Some northern represent have opposed that move in the because they fed Ihey II lose control of public works projects In their home municipalities Both Hills and Milton are badly outweighed in terms of voting power the two municipalities to the south As it is now municipality pays for work in its own municipality and be cause the cost is shouldered by the benefitting municipal no other councillor is apt to object Some councillors can be expected oppose the move as well Because thev have the highest assessment in the region they will be ex to share iheir assess ment base over the entire region Some have already voiced swallow is a basic philoso phical difference between Oakvillc and Burlington is traditionally slow growth while Burling ton leans more towards a more rapid rate of growth Oakville Mayor Harry Barrett and Oakville Council lor Carl have argued against any change in the current method of financing water and sewer projects They argue that Burlington would be dipping into the coffers to finance growth in Burlington They claim would end up paying for growth in the region even though the town itself staunchly supports a slow growth attitude There has been a consider able change in the makeup of the council since the matter was last broached There are 10 new members The new members haven really had the opportunity to become embroiled in debate on the matter and it could be that they II look upon the change with more favor than the first regional council No alternative to Milton dump Regional Council will not be
