1 2OrnoWeekly Times. Wednesday, Nove mber 7th. 1973 PuMbhed eve..jy Thursday at the office ofpulcto A FULL TIME JOB!! Regional Cun irs in th majority last week supported the concept that being a member of a regional council was a fuil-ime job and as suc-h a salary oif $10,006.00 'vas not out o3f the way. Mr, Lyall, local repr esentative of Ward 3, makes the samne point in a letter to the editor this week. Mr. Lyalýl carnies bis argument further in support for ful time counillfors by denoucning the aystemn under which the local Board o)f Education operates as well as voicing doubt over the capabilities of the bureaucrats. If he alay py f $I,000. is compared to other regional areas whîch have been in existence for somie timne it appears that the D-,urham councîllors have gone overboard in thieir remiunierat- ion. A regional councillo in Niagar'a is paid $5,000. in Ottawa $2,500. in Sudbury $5,000. in York $7,000, and in Waterlools $5,000, This is a far cry from the $10,000 figure set last week in this area . It is very doubtful that this new job is a full-timne job and it is further doubtful that ail memebers or, even a majority will make it such-. The decision came prior to any indication of the work load a nd Oie chairm-an Walter Beath was aware of -this fact when he cautioned the mnembers to consider this fact as did Garnet Rfickard when hie asked that the decision be tabled. The job of counicil mnembers will be to set policy and to see1 that it is carried out as set forth. The bureaucrats, and this( tern likie that of 'developers' immediately creates a sense oft suspicion wben use;ýd. Inl genral, however, the bureaucrats are thetwork horses of the systern and should be able to adinister decisions in accord to the policy as set by council. Certainly they cannot be blamed for eveny mishap which in many cases results fromn interference from -council members wishing to1 stnetch the intent of policy which they themselves have set.t This interference can all too often render the bureaucratc inefficient in his own job of administering policy. Surely our new council is not going to make judgement onc every piece of business that cornes before the region. 'This would be a disaster and no doubt would make the job at full-tîme job. This is one area in which local area municipal councils have had trouble in the past and we need o nly refer to the fact in our own area when council and even planning.board find it almnost difficult to keep on course in regards their own nolicies in planning.a NIUDDYTRACK 2nd BROWNIE PACK NEWSp ATUDDYATAKNOVEMBER 3, 1973. l ATKAARHAToday the tweenies learnedd On Saturday loc-al horsemen how to -tie their ties.

CAN VAS FOR FUNDS MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY Saturday, Nov. l7th Orono -Tmes, Orono, Ontario, Dear Sir: 1 nioted while reading the Globe and Mail over the. week-end tLhat some Regional Government politicians at- tending a Toronto meeting at which the Hon. John White, Ontario Minister of Treasury, Economics and Intergovern- mental Affairs attended, stat- ed that they thought that Mr. White was sounding a. warning over salaries that Regional Couneiloers were voting themn selves. Last week, thze newly elect- ed R-egionýal Councillors for the Reg'inal Municipality of Durham' voted themnselvesa $10,000 annual salaiy%",The week bef ore the Peel Regional Councillors set their salaries at the same figure. As one of the Regiona Councillors of Durham w7ho voted in favour of the $10,000 stipend, 1 arn of the opinion that Mr. White should look into his own situation in Queen's Park and let, the Regiona Councillors alone to do the job they were elected to do. With regards to the job as Regional Couincillor. There are two alternatives. either it is a full time job or else it is a part time job. Looking at the magnitude of the position--it is without a doubt a full time job and a Councillor must be paid a fuil, time salary to get the job done. There are 200,000 people in the Region of Durham living in an area of 954 square miles. The responsibilities of the Council are the responsibilit- ies of overaîl planning, water supply and distribution, sew- age collection, and treatment,, police, mnain roads traffic ligb.ts and controls, refuse disposai, heath, and welfare services, emergency measur- es and financing of capital expenditures. A part time Council could not do the job of work needed. Flere in this district we have a fine example of part time elected. administ.rators trying fo do a very difficult job--this example. is our bard pressed School Board Trustees., The Northumberland and Durham County Board of iEducation bas a budget, of upwards of'20 million dollars and this money, and what it buys for the taxpayers of this district, is supervised by School Board Trustees who gather for two business mneet-i ngs-a monthin Cobourg.
