W5. 8, SEC. I - PLAINDEALER - NOV, 1, 1967 Township Officials Urge Strong Local Government "Keep government close to the people--keep Township government strong!" This was the theme of the "biggest, most successful ever" convention Of the Township Officials of Illinois, held in Peoria, Oct. 22 through 25 arid attended fay area assessors. Nearly 1,500 delegates attended the four-day meetings, representing an all-time high registration and an increase of more than 25 percent over the previous years. The township officials heard Cook County Board Chairman Richard B. Qgilvie urge them to "protect the integrity and strength of local and state government and achieve a return to sanity in the operation of federal government in so doing/' Then Lt. Gov. Samuel H. Shapiro lauded townships as "the only units of government in which the people themselves are the legislators, deciding for themselves what to do with their tax money. Townships are the only pure democracies we have, and what happens to this democracy depends upon the will of the people. At the same time, townships must continue to take initiative to exercise or expand their functions, and they must - communicate directly and frequently with the people they serve," Shapiro said. In his report to the convention on legislation, Troy A. Kost, Astoria, executive secretary of the association admonished Gov. Kerner for his vetoes of key legislation which would have helped township and local governments. He particularly chastised Kerner for vetoing a township recodification act, which would have permitted updating laws affecting township government. "This has not been done since 1870," said Kost, "and it is way overdue. The governor was shortsighted and unprogressive in .His action on this bill." Th:; keynote speaker of ths convention, Milton W. De- Lancey, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors warned of the inefficiencies and evils of big government. "All over America we see this growing trend for bigness, under the guise and belief that because it is big, it's better," he said. "This simply is not true in government, as witnessed by the increasing problems which the federal government has in dealing with the people, as well as by the failures of many governmental consolidation efforts which have occurred throughout the country." The convention also resolved to "spread the word" about township government to achieve a better public understanding and appreciation of its values.
