particularly noted georgetown has its c n e prize winning band mitton has its champion ball teasu- burlington has its firemens drill team which wins consistently and oakville had a hockey team that made good headway to winningtheprorinciarhonors the towns of the county seem to have the honors fairly weii divided advancement according to the halton county council pro- iingreportramovemeiitisxinfoo tbylthejcaunty councils opposing the proposal to abolish these bodies the ground taken seems to be that abolition of the county representatives would only niean jrenjrahzajtion of more power in toronto and the that this head has not dealt in in other words the inferenceis taken the best interests of the counties we need the county institution to check up on province we sometimes wonder if more centraliza tion would not be good for instance the oakville subway has had the railway board county council oakville council and we believe the trafalgar coun cil andl erovincial government all dealing with its disposal for months and it is still unsettled each body seems to be trying to oust the cost to the other or a bigger proportion and in the meantime the ratepayer pays the piper for the cost of all bodies meeting in session that could be settled by a half dozen men the- county council decided at the same meeting to inquire into the increasing educa tional costs this will mean a series of committee meetings each with fees and expenses and a final winding up for settlement with the ontario de- partment of education which win finally pass on the
