The. region, as proposed, will have increased borrowing power because of the higli assess- m 1ent, and will be able to issue debenturp's at a lower rate of in- terest, If a comparison is made between the present 'borrowing powers of the regions and the lo- cal municipalities, it is found that they vary fromn 8 and 8½ %1/ in the regions to 9 % -nnd. over in many of the local municipal- ities. 9. The designated growth areas in the region will provide job opportunities for the growing labour force. At the present time young1 people particularly are forced to seek employment in the industrial areas of Oshawa and Metro Toronto. An examina- tion of the new subdivisions de- veloping in the' eastern area in- dicates that large numbers of workers are commuting to the industrial areas of Oshawa and Toronto' creating highway and transportation prloblems as well as 'dormitories for the industrial communities to the west. 10. Municipaliiies are vying with each other for industrY, tO provide industrial assessment to balance the nion-profitable resi- dential and dormitory type of de- velopmeflt. Unless the proposed region w ith regional planning in- dustry eau be located in and di- rected to communities best ad- aptedt for that purpose with .al area municipalities receiving the benefit of the industrial assess- ment. 11. of particular importance is the governnientS objective to restore to the greatest degree ,possible local autonomy which over the, years bas been signifi- cantly eroded through the crea- tion of non-elected boards and authorities and the increased. in- volvement of the provincial con- trol of local goverument. Since 1943, the amount Of provincial subsi.dies to the United Counties bas risen fromn $271,724. to $20,- 346,764. in 1970. The establish- ment of regional goverfiment dosnot mean that subsidizing will be drasticallY cnrtailed, n it does mean that through the overall planning the monies can be more efficiently applied to the 4 al01u .......... bi g & benefit of al comimifies. Transitional Grants Statisties coverlng the Tranis- itional Grants made by the prov- Ince to area municipalities for the fîrst five years to take care of tab shifts on regional costs. Merged Area of Hamilton Town- ship, Port Hope, Hope Township, and Cobourg Existing regional costs of ail regional services $ 888,293 New cost of ail Regional ~Services -------- -- 1,022,167. Increase - ------------ 13,874. Amount of, Transitional Grant ---------------- 133,874. Grants for first five years Year 1: 133,874; year 2: 107,099; year 3: 80,324; year 4: 53,550 year 5: 26,775. It is difficult to explain in de- tail the increases and decreases in thie cost of varions services through the change from county to Regional Governtment. The fol- iowing facts gleaned from over 100, pages of statistics give an indication o! the changes that may t ake place as applicable to the merged area mnunlcipalltY' ,c omposed of Hope and Hamjitoni Townships and thie towns of Port Hope and Cobouirg. Increase ln Share of Reglonal Coste <Area 5) Grants to -o---ta -- $15,000. General Assistance Welf are ------------- ----- 89,000. police ------------ --- - 134,000. $338,000. The increase in Police costs Is due to the fact that under the present ýsystem the rural areas have, over the years. had the ben- efit of' what might be termed free 'policing by the O.P.P. Fig- uires, which are subjeet to the future grant structure, indicate that the above regional costs would increase takes in Hamilton Township by 4% per year, Hope Township by 7% and a decrease in Port Hope Of 3% and Cobourg of 2/ per cent per year.

Its success regardless of what form it may take will depend on the electorate in the choice of their rcrýetatives to' the area and regi 'al eicI;Whiether it costs more or less, 'will depend on -the degree to which these individuals assume their deitio- cratie responsibilities.
