Forrester - Editor and ýîara:ýger ThsMonday ,,December 5th the ratepayers of the Township and, Village have thec opportunity to make thleir choice of those who wilgovera in the Trown-ship Council, TQwsip Area Sehool' Board andr the Police Trus'tcees forý the year 1967. Seldom h fas such a wide saeelection ,been helu-d in Clarke and Orono as vwill be held this comiïing Monday. Voters wil Iook to the election with varying degrees of in- terest and no d'oubt with a wide variety of issues. The Town- shiàp Counicil lias over the past two years taken full advantage of 'inancial' assistance for a road program under the Municipal Assis- tance Act and through the use of these funds have advanced in their icoad program. The Road Needs Study is a worthwhile project and ene that will look into the future and lay a pattern for road con- struction in the Township. This is , of course, one side of the led- ger. Council lias aflowed the development of poor'relationships be- tween Departments of the Municipality, the enforcement of by-laws and regulations, sucli as in the control of building, is in a shambles. The Planning Board is stili lacking a member, even after a full year of operating minus the member. The Committee of' Adjust- ment lacked a secretary for months while in the- meantime the work pil ed up. There is a lack of communication withia the Township organ- ization which can only lead to further breakdown unless corrected. Our views on the Public School issue have been, expressied quiet often in this eolumnL "A costly building program and stili not adaptable to the standards of todays education or that of, the fut- tutres. There is also the fact that the present Board enjoys to ýoper- ate, on a wholesale fashion behind closed doors. This is public busi- ness using Public funids and should, in most cases, be conducted in open and public meeting. The future of your municipality rests in your hand.s, it is now your choice, use it wisely for the betterment of this community and its people.

Dear Sir: 1 have been a longtime resident of the Township of Clarke and have lived under many Municipal governments. DYuring the past year 1 have, however, become quite distuirbed over -Municipal affairs in thlis Municipality. TJher:e appears to be a definite iacýk of conscientious goveý-ning resulting lun haphazard adminis- tration ýin certain areas in the affairs of tius Township. ln the eniforcing- of the Build- ing By-law it bas become evident that the, building inspector, due to lack of brrýking, by Council, can pass a building under con- struction within the Village of Orono and, not even bother to question whether or not a permnit bhas boen obtained. ,The expeuditure on 'Township roads was at the first of the year budgetedi at $ 110,000.00. In the first ten montbs of this year ,a total of' $150,377.00 has been spent on our roads. Since the first of the year additional supplemen- tary by-laws have been passed by council now authorizing an ex- penditure of $168,100.00. 0f this amount $2j',100.00 bas yet ta re- ceive the approval of, the Ontario Muntilicipal Board, a provision that miust be had! as the Township bas to carry, over its portion of this exp enditure $7000, into 1967. There q1so appears to be other carryovers into 1967 which in- clude an over-expenditure of $7000 fromn 1965 and' a further ru- mored amnount from the Municipal Wrsprogram, carried out iu 1965 and 1966. It is tîie the 'electors of this MuiJaity gave tho ught to the future of the Township ani ask the question "Are we getting a, fair deal?" Why are men of the calibre of R.by Foster and H1. E. Walkey as weLl asý the new cand- idate, seeking office in thie Town- ship this year(6 There is a need for men of good business admin- I istration to 1head our council and to be ln our council to assure us of proper admin istration. Yours truly, Evan Quantrill, Orono, Ont. The Las ouple of weekýs bave been busy ones for those involved in the giiniig programme lu Or- ono..
