regional government for halton and peel announced last week in an interview mayor em merson said he especially docs not agree with area 4 which lumps georgetown with acton arid a large slice of esqucsinb township the proposed plan would give this area one mem ber on a 17 or 21 member board it appears ihe southern boundary of area 4 is the ash- grove sideroad said mayor emmerson were georgc-
