Recently we have aIl heard a great deal about the costs of regional government in those areas where it bas been in operation -for some time. Most, if not ail, of the figures 1 have seen quoted are distort- cd or erroneous - based on misinforfion and exagger- ation. I find this disturbing, because of. the potential deterrent effeet it has on some municipalities which should be considering moderniizing their own structures. Citizens ot more recently established regional governments will be unnecessarily ;apprehiensive of tax increases to corne. Lets look at the facts. *Every new region -will incur some additional costs, initial- ly. These result from several factors: 1. Acquisition of new per- sonal,, facilities and .equip- mrent to handle new responsi- bilities whichl previously rest- ed eswee 2. Upgradinig the level of p-existing services to a uniform standard, e.g. better fire protection, recreation, parks and roads;, 3. More accurate and up-to- date accounting systems us- ually result in, reporting expenditures for the first ti-me in the aggregate total; 4. General increases in bea- !th care, homes for the aged, wýelfCare costs, etc., will in- crease expenditures but they apply'\ equally to al]mnîcip-,, alities, whether regional gov- ernent or not; 5. Inflation pressures, part- icularly in the last two years, have hadi their effects on regional governiment cost, like everyvone else's. Sjust fhow Ymuch have these costs increased when comi- pared to other years or other inunicipalitLies.?

At the same timie, there is al significant growth of overal resources availabte to thie community%. New services include, as notAed, thle estabh lishment of a regional police force, whiere prcviouisly onlY the larger centres could afford such protection. Ex- panded health care-delivery through a regional health unit is an uidoub ted public bene- fi t. Regional government could be defined as a fa1nily groupI of municipalit ies pooling their resou'ces in order to provide services and facilities (exami- pIe, sewer and! water) which,' because of a limî ted economnic base, many municipalities would tbe iunable to accomp- lish i ndividulally. cin-e of the major traditional argmetsinfavour of re- ture counties, is planning.
