on your regi ment but provide as well an example for all canadians you have heard many times that the price of liberty is vigilance but it is a difficult fact to remem ber in times of peace service in

councillors seemed to devote more time io town business for only 1500 a year he called the county government a great vacuum in o similar vein george towns mayor joe gttfoons said seats in the halton council chnmher should have seat belts on them to keep councillors in their seats and prevent them from walking out to avoid vot ing on contentious matters he also asked what plans the coun ty had for the centennial year the next speaker reeve george leslie of esqueslng township disputed the seat belts remark we are hot like little lambs with our tails cut off if we have something to argue wc get up and argtie he said reeve leslie praised the past eotincihors and suggested the meeting was n good idea for public relations in walton nassagaweya reeve bill coul ter utilized his three minutes to give a brief rundown on nas- sagaweyas importance men tioning its population assess ment recreational assets and the great limestone deposits he refuted the great vacuum claim of mayor anderson not ing the county is like a regional form of government and pro vides many services the munici palities cannot give oakville and burlington pay a big share but often they get more than their share out of halton he remarked reeve coulter said he realized there were inequities an tho county system and financing education and hospitals were two of the problems he urged elected councillors to remember they were working not just to represent a boundary but peo ple within those boundaries warden hinton introduced the countys department heads to the meeting then threw the evening open for questions and answers milton deputyreeve charles menefy said he took exception to mayor andersons remarks about county remuneration and time spent on the job mayor anderson replied how could anybody serving the

big contribution to county finances but we dont flaunt it at you reeve leslie replied the coun ty was presently buying land to get the work done reeve coulter answered 175000 worth of work on the dangerous sev enth line in oakville was delet ed this year to get the miller mountain project in burlington underway adding that with 16 mills road rate it was impos sible to do much road work in any one year georgetown reeve william hunter squelched the topic by pointing out burlington contri butes 3140000 a year to the county road projects and the county would spend over 200- 000 in burlington this year alone mrs anne mcarthur nassa- gaweya councillor wanted to know why the halton roods de partment had disputed a 405 claim from chester service for a well which she said a county road widening project had ru ined warden hinton replied the county had no obligation in ji w ssbumiy- storage time with stopps cleaners in the milton plaza guaranteed fur and garment storage dinper freeforall the opinion of legal experts but mrs mcarthur argued thai the roads committee had left her with the impression the county would assume some share of the cost of a new well crown attorney p k mowil- llarns rose to urge a bigger road budget next year so more roads could be made safer he said the only way to get safe roads was to spend more money and it was up to the ilocal councils to urge the county to up its rote a georgetown councillor fred iharrison suggested es- queslng children wertf second class citizens because the town ship does not provide kindergar ten classes a child in esques lng should have the same op portunities as they have in larg er municipalities he argued halton manor superintendent stan allen former george town councillors and county warden spoke at length iprnls- ing former councillors for their contributions toward a better future oakvillo councillor don gor don blasted the countys de lays in getting proper lights at a seventh line crossing where three people were killed he noted oakville finally went ahead and installed the lights itself at its own expense he also referred to a pollution of waterways stemming from hal ton manor and complained

this he said the meeting had been full of politicking and suggest ed the bickering should be held over until some other time warden hinton attempted to justify the exchange of ideas as a natural
