Service Make further study of redistribution formula A satisfactory formula for redistribution of county rep- resentation has yet to be found after county council rejected a proposal last week which would have based re- apportionment solely on population. Under the re- jected formula, the only changes in representation would have been an increase of three votes for Pickering Township and one for Whitby. The matter was referred back to the standing com- mittee on county matters for further study and presen- tation of alternate solutions. Reeve John Williams of Pickering Township expres- sed himself as 'extremely disappointed" that the com- mittee had failed to take county assessment into con- sideration for the the redis- tribution. He asked "who are they really trying to fool," and said he had recom- mended a formula approved at the August 15 meeting for school board seat re-distri- 'bution, as applicable to the county seat question. Included in Tuesday's pro- posal was the recommen- dation that a private bill containing the proposed new formula be prepared and presented to the provincial legislature. This was termed "redundant" in light of the proposal's rejection, and after council members were informed that such a bill could not start to become effective until 1974, and would not be fully in force until 1975. HASTE NEEDED Reeve Williams stressed the need for haste in the redistribution, pointing out that the matter of region- alism and regional distribu- tion could shortly come before council "and right now any decision would be distorted because we're not in any position to vote intelligently on it." A suggestion was then made by Reeve David Tre- bilcock of Ajax that the council follow the repre- sentation plan outlined in the OAPADS report of 1971 which would distribute rep- resentation according to population, but which would give compensating weight to rural areas. This was fol- lowed by a number of other suggestions, including the straight provision of one council vote per 3,000 popu- lation, the adjustment of votes according to a curve and the establishment of a committee formed on the basis of the original popu- lation proposal, which would review and present to coun- cil any regional questions which arise in the near future.

T also avail- choice Reeve Robert Nesbitt of Uxbridge Township descri- bed these suggestions as "band aids" for the repre- sentation question and said that any decision based on population would either be doomed or unduly weighted in the favor of urban centres. "If you follow these 'sug- gestions, I can see the day when all the municipalities north of Whitby have to amalgamate to get even one vote," he said. Reeve Williams then asked whether the limiting figures in the original population proposal were "magic num- bers," or were they chosen "because we are afraid that otherwise we might have to strip some municipality of a representative 'because it doesn't have enough peo- ple." To this question, there appeared to be no answer other than that these had been the traditional bases of population-based represent- ation. The Pickering Township reeve then told county mat- ters committee chairman Reeve Robert Kenny of Port Perry that he did not care what formula was eventually decided upon "as long as it's not a sawn-off job like this one you brought today." A vote was then taken and the motion passed to return the matter to the county matters committee for fur- ther study and alternative proposals. Canada Savings Bonds on sale Mon, Oct. 2 Donald R. Loader of Wil- lowdale has been appointed as orgainzer in the 1972 Canada Savings Bonds cam- paign, payroll savings divi- sion, for Oshawa and area. The territory includes Oshawa, Bowmanville, Pic- kering, Whitby, Ajax, Ux- bridge, Port Perry and Port Union. ; This will be Mr. Loader's fourth Canada Savings Bonds campaign. This year marks the 27th anniversary of Canada Sav- ings Bonds and during the period 1946 - 1971 inclusive, a total of nearly $5.5 billion in CSBs were purchased through the Payroll Savings Plan across the country. Last year in the area, a total of $3,298,550 worth of CSBs were purchased through payroll savings from 7,194 applications. The 1972 -'73 Series will go on sale on Oct. 2 and will be sold at par until Nov. 15. The new series provides an annual average yield of 7.3 per cent if held to maturity in 12 years. The annual rate of interest is 5.5 per cent for the first year; 7 per cent for the second year; 7.50 per cent for each of the next four years and 7.75 per cent for each of the final six years. A compound interst fea- ture is again incorporated providing for 3 extra interest certificates during the 12 year life of the bond. The purchaser of a $100 bond will receive $233.25 when it matures, November 1, 1984, if he holds all interest coupons and compound in- terest certificates uncashed until then. If an investor holds his $100 bond, and its first seven regular coupons uncashed until November 1, 1979 a first compound interest certif- icate becomes payable on that date for $11.75. Similar- ly, if the $100 bond and the five remaining coupons are held uncashed until Nov- ember 1, 1984, a second compound interest certifi- cate becomes payable for $6.00.
