i ¥ : County Approves Regional Study Plan » by Ontario County Council A pattern for regional gov ernment was recommended for the intensive study of the| Oshawa Area Planning and Development Study executive at its May session. The plan was approved by a 35-t0-3 re- corded vote. The recommendation dealt with tentative boundaries, the type of government as %' well as the premise that re- presentation should be by population. Council devoted almost 4 hours of its 'April session to an effort to approve bound- aries. On that occasion it Lh was not able to get past the first clause. Last week's de- bate took up almost as much time.

One of the points which troubled council was the lack of financial data. Another was that several municipali- ties such as Scott and Brock Townships favored breaking away from the proposed re- gion. . With this in view council approved of -an amend ent by Reeve Cecil Fralick, Scu- gog Township, that the con- sultants be instructed to show in concise terms the financial impact in the event the area north of the Pickering Town- ship-Whitby boundaries were either in or out of the Osh- awa region. It was stressed repeatedly the council's county matters committee was only making recommendations and that unanimity could not be ex- pected. Council agreed there should be a two-tier system of gov- ernment with the election to the upper tier being on an indirect basis. Representa- tion by population as far as possible was approved, with the size of local munieipali- ties being taken into .consid- eration.
