The final decision han yet to be made but the cost is apparently about to run over the top for collection and disposmng. And it is again mhe samne old story no dump site for mhe future.

Hannah asked if Hampton would close if the Postmnanter retired mhe answer was in mhe affirmative. Counce. Stapleton said it was great to save money but he still opposed the closing of the Post Offices and hie wanted that message taken back to Canada Post. 'he rep fromn Canada Post stated mhey understood it was an emotional issue but that 700 had been closed across Canada and the high standard of service was still being maintained. Some doubt as to amalgamation (Continued) HFal Hooke, general manager of the Otonabee, states hie doubts municipalities arç rçady e sit down and make a decision and that more information was needed especially firm assurances from the province that transitional grants would be available and adequate.
