By a mai-gin of two. votes the United Counfies Councîl decided to recommendfliat it be i-etained as a governing body, presumably a regional goverameat of its own, in response to provincial propos- ais f0 foim an Oshawa Region. Altlioigh durîng flic discussion earlier in the afternoon, manyý of flie councillors from the ' toWnships in flie Counties spoke of their orientation toward oli -r centres, tradition dies liard and the vote to mainfain fthe Counties passed 17-15. January 4th's meeting was a special session of fthe 1972 coun- -ci, called fo discuss the provinc- ial governments, proposais whicb would fragment the United Coun- ties a.nd set up an Oshawa h-"'-i,- Regio n and to make recorm-'-'-1 ations for action to the nèw 197,3 cuncil., Another recommendation pass- Pd by the 1972 council was to ask for a, one-ycar extension to, the February 28 deadline the provin- cial government lias set for con- sideration of the regional ni- posais. The United Counties have ex- isted as a unit of governmenf since 1849, and most of the Reev- es and Dcputy-reeves' spoke of their support of the United Coun- ties la the past. But many of tliem said thaf if one township goes tliey vvsjd,( ail go.
