On Ilondaw cx n;ag id athe (Or- ono Par k the Oro,,, Midgcs1 ac the Ontario Ji,-,,'ile Champlions of 1969) frori Knal- Thiý,game is being called for 6:30 p.m. Hegional govcrnment was the central topic of discussion at the Clarke Township Ratepaye"r's As sociation meeting on Tuesday ev- ening when Mr. Ted Sins, execu- tive adminisitrator for the Osh- awva centraf regional study was the guesýt speaker. The meeting w'is informal and held on a que ,tion and answer basis. ?/7r. Sim . sta+cd that events .were moving quite rapidly within ,the pqst few weeks and referred to the Provincial Municipal con- ference, the province's design for Toron-to Conitred P< and the fir-:t r1 ng of bill 67, a b-1l de- siýned for adrii'ionnl unc. l as'istancý for rInîcmnrlii"wi0s'h in a regcional area. Hie also re- -d to the establishment of the York region on May 6tli. Iu speaking on Bill 67, Mr. riaid that when pa-sed this billxviii provide additional funds for individual municipalitiels wi'th- i- region system as well as es- tablishing greater grants for the top level of regional government. Sin-. this legi-lation hbas been presented the Township of Pick- ering, lie said, lias reverscd ifs de- cision and now is interested, frorn reports, f0 join the Oshiawa reg- ional area, Previous to this Pick- ering has been making strong crertures to join with Toronto. He Pointed out that with this leg- irlIation Townships in flic north of Ontario County woul «d receive ad- ditional grants totalling around $250,000.00. Mr. Sims statcdthat urban de- velopment was such today that changes have to be made f0 cope witýh the exa ein lcsaid thisý w-as ilot particula,.rlY the caseý in Clarke Township anti that Clarke lis o the fringe area and no clear rea v>n to bc in or out of the' region appeared to exist. H1e did say ýhowever that 1no municipalify coulti cxist on Its own and there Pmust be a grouping of a number of municipahities to accomplisli certain goals. At this point, he said, land was rot a iïoblem and he cited that ,the~ Oshawva region, exclusive, of Clarke, was ample it0 contain the proposed population increases es- pecially when one considered the population 110W encompassed in ieTonto area. The proposed ýn-i-diationi figures for the Osb- a-,va rcgion is far hess than the Toronto area. H1e did not forecas-t any great growtli for Clarke Tcxvnsh5,1 within the next feu ye.ars. In speaking again of Clarke he said that the Oshawa study com- mi'ttee liad no idea wliat Clarke x tdand that there had been no expression of opinion from flic Townshi-_. Tt xvas stiated-,that the Oshawa region would- have a two-level structure of government and that possibly, if Clarke were included, I bat Clarke and Newcastleo would be one naunicipality wifli one vote at the upper regional level. H1e stated~ that the lower levcý. of gov- erument would contain to look after* local streetîs sanitation, v'r er distribution, committee of adjustmcnt, local planning etc. The- upper tier would construet main highways, sewage treatment plant, water sources,- police, homes for the aged etc. Mr. Sims forecasit a substanfial ,ncrease in industrial and com-. nmercial development for the Osh- jawa rcglion fo which everyone ,vould banefit if part of the re- gion. When asked if Clarke should lie* icludeti in the, Oshawa reg- ionah area, he said that flic reg. ional grant structure favours fuis move as well- as the industrial as- scssment which is contained with- i-n tbe region. He poinfcd out thaf Clarke may nof be able to join another area for some years anti thus for th is period' wouhd lbse out in the extra grants for this perioti of time. On the other side, he saiti, there would be a loss of representation as the new area wihl have f0 gear representation closcly to population although landti-assfactor shoulti be given Çome considCation. Uc aLso saidà that perliaps one couli consider staying out because you are not faced wi'th a great growth nor will lie in the next number of years. 34r. Sims said thaît lic third report would lbe sulimittet ina late July or early August and this will contain a single propos- ai. lHe feif that Clarke Township wvocld be e eluded for the sebeme bUt he raid this wouild not be a final, dccirionj.
