A further bright spot is the fact that tbe provincial government will subsidize the operations of tbe new Region for tbe first tbree years tif its existence. At least one candidate, Ken Lyall (Regional Councillor, Ward Three) feels taxes could 'lsky rocket" after the prov- ince withdraws their subsidy program. Lyall bas also expressed bis concern about the civil serv- ants who will be employed by the new Region. If the Regional Councillors are not paid a fuli time salary. says Lyall, the new Council will become merely and rubber stamp for the bureaucrats. The concern here is that tbe Regional Council willrequire a large. and expensive bureau- clracy to bandle ail their responsibilities adequately. Whether or not this will be the case, it should be remem- bered that, on the otber side of the coin, by merging several council in eacb municipality into one larger area, consid- erable saving could result by eliminating costly duplication, of staff and services. To be sure, there are a good many unanswered questions about the new system of gavernment. Once the eleet- ions are over and 'the new Councils begin aperating, we will begin to get a better idea of how things will shape up. I other words, only time will answer ail the questions.

A great Mrs. V. Griffin in honor of Mrs. E. Collacott, Bowman- ville. Mr. and Mrs. Ralpb Grace, Oshawa, were callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. Grace and family on Satur- day. many people have expressed their lack of understanding about the new system of government and how it wîll affect them. Several of the candidates in the forthcaming elections seem ta sense the voter's confusion and tbey attempted ta, clear up some of the muddle at the al candidates meeting beld at St. Joseph's Churcb hall recently. Garnet Rickard, althougb he's no longer a candidate by virtue of bis acclamation as Mayor of Newcastle, attended the canIdates> meeting1 and used bis time ta try and clear up some of the mysteries. Different Authorities "Basically, you'll have the same services as yau do now, but tbey'il came from differ- ent authorities," he said. He suggested that the new system bas the potential ta be even simpler and more res- ponsive than the aid County system, which suffered from a proliferation of appointed bod- ies. "It seems too easy ta pass the buck under the present system," be commented. "There are too many'special purpose bodies, with toa much authority,, in too many direc- tions." Now, for example, a councillor can say, 'Don't blame me for such-and-such, that was a Planning Board decision.' Witb Regional Gov- ernment, the elected repre- sentatives will have the final responsibiiity for ail import- ant decisions. Under Regional Govern- ment, such bodies as Comm- ittees of Adjustmen. Planning Boards and possibly, in the future, PUC's and Boards of Education, wiil be eliminated and replaced by committees directiy responsible ta the Regional Council. However, ail this probably doesn't help you understand what is going on right now. To begin with, it might help, as Mayor Rickard suggested, ta realize that the structure of the Rtegional Government sys- tem is not ail that mucb different from the existing County system. The big diff- erence lies in the areas of responsibility assigned ta each of . . . the two levels of municipal government. Present System Under the County systemn, the voters elected their town council, of police village trustees, or township counicil, as the case may have been. These local councils were ioosely united under a County system and each local counicil sent representatives ta sit on County Council, specifically a Reeve and Deputy-Reeve. Under Regionai Govern- 'uent, much the same system a pplies. The Region bas been sliced into eight local munici- palities and each of these local Councils, yul send represent- atives ta sit on the 30-member Regional Council. The only difference here, is that under Regional Govern- ment tbey are calied Regionai Councillors rather that Reev- es and Deputy-Reeves. It is important ta realize- that the Region Counciliors and the Municipal Mayors from eacb area will also sit on their local Coûncil. One of the eight municipali- ties is cailed the town of Newcastlp. It unites the Town- ships of Darlington and Clar- ke, inciuding the town af Bowmanville, the villages af Newcastle, Orono, etc., inta one local government unit.

J. M. McILROY, A.M.C.T. TOWN CLERK-ADMINISTRATOR mer. Divided into Three Wards The new, Council for the Town of Newcastle will be headed by a Mayor (in this case Garnet Riekard). New- castiehas been divided into tbree wards, Darlington Townsbip (Ward One), rBow- manville (Ward Two? and Clarke Townshi p Ward Tbree). Each ward will elect one Local Councillor and one Regional Councillor. Tbe New- castle municipality will send four representatives, the May- or and the three .tegîonal Counicillors, to sit on 'the R"egional Coun-.cil. The point to remember bere is that although there are three wards, tbey ail form one single local government. As Garnet Rickard warned, "I hope neither the candidates nor the voters think in terrms of just their ward. The Council must act for tbe goood of the area as a wbole." Stili Retain Names Although our area bas been named Newcastle it doesn't mean the local towns and villages will lose their names or their identities. Bowman- ville will still be called Bowmanville, Orono will re- main Orono, etc. The Region, which in effect takes in Ontario and Durham Counties, was referred to as the Durham Region in the provincial government's act. However, largely at tbe însist- ence of Oshawa politicians, a referendum will be taken to determine the name of tbe Region. This means every voter will cast bis ballot, flot only for bis local elected politicians, but also for the name of tbe Region as well. Four names will be on the ballot - Durham, Oshawa, McLaugblin and Pickering. There is considerable'con- cern, particularily in Bow- manville w here only one election remains to be decid- ed, tbat the voter turnout will be extremely low. Some people bave suggested tbat as few as 20 percent of tbe electorate wiil turn up at tbe polis. But remember, unless you want to run the risk of the Region being named Oshawa, you bad better get to the polis and vote for the name you prefer. Redestribute Powers Tbe really significant chan- ge to take place under Regional Government will be the redistribution of powers. In the original Regional Government proposals put forward last December, it was 0, rwe. W/I/P YBoi / O0 BYAM PLUM13ING & HEATING and AIR CONDITIONING TYRONE, ONTARIO uN Phone 263-2650 stated "the Region must bave full capabiiity ta design the area." This can be translated ta mean the Regional level of government gets the iion's share of vower and responsi- bilities. Tbe majority of the important serviceés and func- tions will be provided by the Regional Council. Although local official plans will remain in effect for some time, the Region will be responsible for all planning. The provincial governmen bas given the Reginnal Council until December, 1976, ta came ut) witb an officiai plan for the Region. Once it bas been created, this plan will be the bible for the entire Region. Moreover, the Ontario Mun- i cip al Board bas recently deiegated some of its most fiîportant responsibilities, ta thte Regional Cotiricil, inchud- inig tle power o(f arvlfor all local official plans, subdivi- sion agreements and zoning by-laws. Although many people fear that ahl this power concentra- fed in the Regional Govern- ,ment is somehow dangerous and a threat ta the autonomy of the smaller areas, it is probably the only way that sensible and orderly develop- ment can take place through- out the Region. With equaiized assessment, a small agricult- urai township wiil not have ta worry about attracting indus- try or a lot of housing subdivisions. At least, that's the theory. Industry wili probably be centered in cert- ain specific areas such as Oshawa or Bowmanviile but the tax assessment from them wiii benefit the entire Region. The same idea shouid appiy ta the subdivision develop- ment which is aiready press- ing into this area. Under the Regionai Govern- ment Act, local Planning Boards and Committees of Adjustment are aboiished. Committees serving similar fonctions can be appointed by the local Councils but tbey wilî be directly responsibie ta the Council, not act as semi- independent bodies. The Region will also bave "the sole responsibility" for the supply and distribution af water and the collection and disposal of ail sewage. Garbage collection will still faîl under the jurisdiction of the local Council but the Region will be responsible for ail treatment and disposai fa garbage, including selecting and controlling all waste disposal sites. The area muncipalities will control ahl local roads and sidewalks and their mainten- ance while the Region wil take care of Regional Roads, which will be the new name. for County Roads such as Taunton Road. Amalgamate Police Local Police forces will be amalgamated into a single Regional Police Force, gov- erned by a plice commission appointed byýthe Regional CounciL. Fire protection, on the other hand, remains a local function although a Regional Fire Co-ordinator wiil be appoint- ed, The Council of each area municipality bas several other minor responsibilites, includ- ing the local storm sewer systems, local parks and tax collections. Costs of System The major concera of many residents is ,how much the new system will cost them. The widespread fear is that taxes will soar under Regional Government. However, Gardner Church, the senior studies officer in charge of setting up the Durham Regiopi, bas quoted statistics that indicate taxes in other Regional Governments Attention..
