we - Mayor's term in office reviewed before members of Y's Men's Club by Ken Regan Mayor Moreland Lynn of Midland was guest of honour at a meeting of the Y's Men's Club, at YMCA in Midland on Tuesday.

Growth In the area of what has taken place during his term, Lynn mentioned specific growth indicators such as a new arena, a new YMCA, the start of a new sewage treatment plan & establishment of formal relations with outlying municipalities. On the topic of conerns and new directions, the mayor of Midland mentioned some of the less visible changes taking place now which will have their impact in the future. For example, he spoke positively of revisions of the municipality's administrative system, in an effort to reduce red tape. Specifically, he talked about the reduction from four wards in Midland each with their own councillor, to two wards with three councillors each. Development The area of industrial development was one area of concern mentioned and Lynn stated the problem there as being competition against communities from all over Canada and Europe. "If Midland wants to advance in that area," he said, "we should establish and maintain a presence." In a question and answer period after his speech Lynn fielded questions on subjects ranging from the status of the Tiny-Tay Peninsula Planning Board, to what the municipality of Midland was doing to regain its share of the tourist market. Concerning the Tiny-Tay issue, he said, since their withdrawal must yet be approved by the Ministry of Housing, the two townships are still technically part of the TTPPB. With reference to the tourist question, Lynn stated getting back into the tourist market is very important to Midland at this juncture in history. He added the place Midland can make (a developmental) impact, is on the waterfront. But he said, "we're not packaging the product properly and...this is an area we need to capture."
