In a prepared sta.lement, Mr. Wottcn stated that Uic taxpay- ers are in no mood for big new projects and grand promises. He. said now is the time to manage our budgets very care- fully and to practise tigliter fis- cal controls at alI levels. The ratepayers recognize Uiat Uiey are paying taxes as higli as many major cihies and Uiat a ceiling lias buen reached, at lcast for Uic time beimg.

When people cali me with a problemn, I usually know who they are and exactly whcreý diey live or work.

Arnot Wotten Wotten concluded by say- ing "the most important item on everyone's mînd these days seems to be the environment and ecological matters. Land- fis and garbage problerus are not going to go away. I'm sure we can find ways to handie our own waste ini tie area but MI1 figlit very liard to make sure we don't get stuck with me- tro's garbage now or ini the fu- ture. I believe that we can do a great deal at Council to ensure thaï: our environment stays as c1ean and healthy as possible. The ecology must be given pri- ority when considering any new projects, developments or, changes in our town".
