BU'I‘TONVILL UNIDENTIFIED TESTON As an economy measure a union is suggested of Peel and Halton counties. Until 1865, what is now known as Peel county was part of the County of York. The division was even then looked on by many in Peel as a mistake. In the vote that Was taken on the matter, 2215 voted in favor of a new county and 1650 against. Albion voted 748 to 12 against a new county, Toronto Gore 158 to 16 against and Toronto Township 496 to 263 against. Large majorities in Brampton, Chingua- cousy and Caledon Townships carried ' the proposal. An even better sugges- tion than the union of Peel and Hal- ton would be a re-union of Peel and York and a union of Halton and ‘Wentworth. This would eliminate [two sets of county administrative maâ€" chinery instead of one. This country has far too much government ma- fc‘ninew.
