"It would be unfair to the people if we allowed this to hapâ€" pen," declared Councilior Doug Saunders. Weston council indicated Monâ€" day that it is prepared to sofâ€" ten its stand, by taking a slice of York township south of Egâ€" linton Ave. into its ward to inâ€" crease the population to 25,000 which is comparable to the size of the other wards.
