council be cut by to was voted down last week by a vote a regional councillors While tbe other four I too Hills representatives on regional council voted against the Idea Councillor Coxe was among the five dissenting voles His experience thus far with the regional council was Councillor Coxe main reason for supporting tbe 14- suggestion Every I attend here he said suggests bow much belter It would work with fewer members When the county system of local government was still In existence Councillor said It consisted of only 14 members and it worked out relatively well Small committeesofanyaorthe added better than larger ones That and the resultant financial savings Town can keep its back hoe What aback hoe between friends Well when the friends are Halton Hills and the region of a back hoe can become a serious problem Regional councillors from the south set their sights on taking possession of a back boo bought by Georgetown and presently being used by Hills works crews for digging graves and carrying out sewer and road work It and two old dump trucks were to have been turned over to the region a works department a year ago when tbe region took the responsibility of sewer and water were the reasons behind Councillor Carl Erlksens original suggestion that regional council be cut down Councillor had proposed that one councillor per ward make up regional council Terming the present regional as extremely Councillor pointed out that having a 14member council would save up to In salaries for counclllora Opposition based on need for representatives for people noted Councillor is at best a pretty weak argument To project that to the federal parliament we would need something like 1 members in parliament We being over governed he charged noting number of municipal regional provincial and federal represen tatives supported by local taxpayer Councillor Hie Morrow of Hal on Hills noted that be agreed with tbe principle of cutting down tbe number of members but objected to Councillor Erlksens method of doing it He suggested that giving a reduced number of Burlington representatives two votes each would correct the imbalance In the number that heavily weighted for south Oakville Councillor Terry Mandell adding his support for the cut explained that chances of main quality mem In this council wbenthere are over or is members decreases as the number Increases Shoots

work and thus are not fully involved Mr Hlnton attempts to increase the board s ties with Sheridan College development have created a few con frontationa between the board and the ad ministrators our licks If we re going to come up with a common sense approach to running our community colleges The Dale Carnegie Course sponsored here by The Herald Is filling rapidly cording to Dave Mather course director We are in the process of contacting all those who have expressed an interest In program he added Mr Mather will be conducting In meetings for several companies In the area Including Gage Stationery and several others Response from all types of people is encouraging he told The Herald Each class contains a good crosssection of the community this way you get to work with all types of people The Hills class will meet one night human relations and communications skills sessions may be picked up In nearby com muni ties where classes are being held he added In an interview Gil Catlllo who is helping the class told The Herald One reason the Dale Carnegie Course enjoys such a fine reputation around tbe world is its unique teaching methods It is a very prac course we learn by doing ratber than by lectures In Carnegie programs This way a person can learn more quickly and the retention la greater he said Since the class will be limited to 44 participants anyone wanting to know more about tbe course should call Tbe Herald at 2201 as soon as possible However Hills has stubbornly maintained Its claim to the back hoe in particular And they won their argument last week despite a strong protest of regionalism from and Burlington when regional council agreed to relinquish its claim on both tbe two dump trucks and the back hoe Councillor Bill Mason of Oakville termed Hills decision A pretty transparent move to bilk the region it stands against the spirit of regionalism he continued Councillor Ernie Sykes explained however that tbe back boe would still remain at the disposal of the region While tbe town would remain the owner of the equipment and would continue to use It for grave digging or sewer maintenance if the regional works department required it at any time they would have a key to It and thus would have free access to it Sharing struck a good note with Milton a Mayor Anne MacArthur Wby should the area municipality have to give to region this piece of equipment and then have to nay to buy another one Why can they share it That Is what I thought regional government is all about As for the two dump trucks which were also supposed to be turned over to be region a councillor noted that both trucks were over 13 years old and the region did not really wan them In the end an earlier afternoon tour and luncheon in Halton may have proved to be the deciding factor In regional council decision the machine Who paid for that dinner and tour one councillor asked Council was told that Hills had paid for tbe tour to familiarize regional councillors with Ibis town The vote was then taken and the region handed over lis claim to tbe back hoe and trucks Georgetown Little Theatres festival entry A Letter From the General received one award and three
