desertsci betaeh 3 the good old days j sifvt a sfticc photo by ealher taylor where do we co from here the more w think of the purchase of the old post office building for use as municipal offices the more we are convinced tuch a move would be unwise while we do recignize the fact that ad mlnistrative problems of the town have ip creased tremendously in the last ten years and we are convinced the increase over the next ten years will be ust as great if not greater we do not think the ownership of real estate is going to solve any of these problems we are convinced that the solution to many of the municipal government prob lems lies in amalgamation of municipalities if x we feel that within a few years amalgama tton will create one large municipality of the area known as helton a super town formed of all the municipalities in haltttfi could elbqlnete many of the prebi each individual town now endures instead of six assessing departments as msing could be consolidated in one office under on chief assessor this would not only give us a truly equalized assessment but should make the best use of the staff available in warfare wsnave six administrators at the present time which could be reduced to a full time professional staff trained to do the tob fire departments even now cooperating very closely would benefit through amal gamaton four police departments and the provincial pouce detachment now working m the county could foul with obvious advan- 0 ln finance the preparation of even the tax twite rs now probably being done in s x dif ferem methods on six different pieces of equipment each used for a relatively short period of ttme each year we can see no place where amalgama lion would not be of benefit in every rrnjn c pal field from garbage collection through schools dog control plann ng hydro 1 b- raries to cemeteries obviously such radical change in ad- m mstration would require a different me thod of selecting county councillors prob ably a city form of government would be the answer with a board of control elected by the county at large with- the warden be ing the controller polling the highest num ber of votes aldermen could be elected by the ward system with wards set jp to repre sent an equal number of ratepayers m each locality if there ts any possibility of any admin istration being established such as we have outlined then it is obvious it would be un wise to acquire further admvwtrative muni cipal real estate at the present time as we see it the problems ev dent at the present time are 1 lack of adequate administration of fices 2 inadequate i brary facilities 3 future possible expans on of the area requirements for the police deparlrnent 4 no band practice facilities 5 insufficient space for a full ymca program to increase the mun c pal admmistralive office space we suggest the town should continue to rent the off ce in the ymca and add to it office space from the area now oc cupied by the library minor structural changes could produce reasonable office fa cilities a new library building should be built to provide adequate serv ce for readers who will not decrease in numbers or concentra t on even through a change m municipal gov ernment methods we feel this library could be built as actons 1967 centenn al protect while the total cost of construct on cannot be expected through government grants a start now will ensure completion by 1967 expansion of police off ce requ rements is something suggested for some later date under a change to a county government calls would not be required n acton in the mean time we feel the services of the opp should be continued for the band we suggest an agreement with the town for the second floor of the present town hall with a long term lease band members would feel satis ed n spend mg time and money to renovate the bu id rig to their own requirements to enlarge the ymca program we sug gest the use of the excellent facil t es at the robert i rfle school and the dsu ct h gh school to have the gymnasium n the h gh school dark and unused most n ghts of the week is a r d culous waste some of the night school activities could be transferred to the ymca where the program could be expanded to many times a week rather than the one evening as at present for instance classes could leave equipment such as looms or easels set up for use any time during the week it is more than i kely these suggestions may have one or two minor problems which would develop as they are implemented however even though these plans may not be universally acclaimed we offer them as
