At present the cottage population in the district outnumbers permanent residents . by a two-to-one ratio and it is expected tof increase to three-to-one with- in the next 25 years. It is because of the high proportion of summer resid- ents as compared with per- manent residents that the report . recommends cutting the value of cottagers' vote in half. . The report prepared over a two-year period 'by Donald], Patterson, recommends giving the cottage population half the electoral weight of permanent residents to avoid giving three municipalities in the region --Muskoka Lakes, Georgian Bay and 'Lake of Bays -- undue influence on the reg- ional council. : According to the report, the largest presented to the government, cottage owners would be able to exercise their' franchise by mail. Nom+ inations would be held in November and elections would be three weeks later -- 'in early December.' Mr. McKeough' Thursday night proposed to hold public] meetings to discuss the report's recommendations.
