Georgetown Herald A of Horn Company Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WALTER C THURSDAY MARCH EDITORIAL COMMENT Good News for Halton A government decision to delay the anticipated merger of Ho I Ion and Peel counties next January should be welcome new for county res dents Halton has much lose end little to gain from joining Its larger neighbour But oddly enough It was some in fighting Peel municipalities which has caused the delay The majority of Halton communities had accepted he gov ernments pram that two should become one and were not particularly fighting the plan Now the possibility exists that the merger may not come about at all and that Halton may possibly get together as one larg region with a central government and local counc modelled on the system proposed by Affairs minister The system would not be so different from the present one except that instead of having entral government con posed of reeves and deputies this would be a Lots of Action Plenty of

residents sit on the town council know oven the smallest problems and are easily accessiblo to the voters has much to be in Us favour Whatever view the die seems to be cast for larger units of administration Education assessment and social services have already been removed from the loca sphere in the past year It would seem that whether regional goernment or not towns like Georgetown will have little localized control over their destinies In the next decade If Halton should go it alone we would cons der this one small in our march bigness Through but not Your PAVoRrre Out of town teams
