He read the letter trustees sent April 5 to Dr. Lorne Cumming, special adviser to Minister of Municipal Affairs: “This is an interim comment only. which is made at this time because we fear that the summary issued will be erroneously considered to have had the approval of all the members of the conferring com- mittee, which was not the case. The chairman explained trllstees had their personal opinions but no official View other than that the report did not have full concurrence of the entire com- mittee. “A tentative agreement was easily reached on the form a general township council might take, based upon the un- derstanding that local municipal opera- ations would not be reduced from what they have been. “As known to those present at the conferences, there was no common agreement that a reduction in local op- erations would be acceptable.

An immediate reply from Dr. (Tumâ€" ming indicated a supplement was un- likely. “I believe both the points raised in your letter have been ade- quater covered in the memorandum itself", he wrote. He pointed out, “The memorandum was not intended to be a statement of the views of the members of the con- ferring committee, but merely a descrip- Like almost everyone else, you use your local chartered bank as a safe and handy place to build the savings reserve that is so important to your financial future. In doing so, you do more than build a solid founda- tion for financial plans. You are building a valuable banking relationship and helping to establish your credit. And as you get to know the manager and staff â€" as you use other banking services to meet personal or business needs â€"- your banking contacts become even more useful to you. And it all starts with a savings account! Through 5,650 branches, all across Canada, the chartered banks bring full-range banking within the reach of everyone.

With respect to the continuation of local municipal op- erations, we have tried to point out in the memorandum that the proposed dissolution of the police villages would not necessarily affect any of the local services now provided and that as an additional safeguard the Ontario Mun- icipal Board, which would eventually deal with the matter, had sufficient power to include in its order an actual requirement that such services should continue to be provided by the township as an essential part of the reorganiza- tion. “Judging from our various discus- sions I do not believe that any reason- able terms to this effect would be ob- jected to by the present township coun- cil and any provision of this kind in the board's order would of course be binding upon future councils. “In the memorandum it was not pos- sible to spell out these things in detail and this explains the rather general statements which were used in the memorandum". Dr. (‘umming concluded. Chairman Mann felt the report was not complete. “It mostly deals in gen- eralities. not specifics, and it is diffi- cult for any one not involved in preced- ing meetings to know the whole pic- ture." Trustee Donald Findlay offered, “It is perhaps 20 times more complicated than the village‘s original proposal for King City Man Wins Graduate Fellowship Last year he won a Sports- man's‘Show Scholarship for the regional planning and geography course at Waterloo, the only course of its kind in Canada.

He expected Dr. Cumming would contact the four urban centres for a meeting with township and De« partment of Municipal Affairs, but he didn't know when. Asked his ideas, Mr. Williams replied. “Generally speaking: it seems a sound idea to integrate local government. To break up urban ai'eas is not an economic way." He thought planning and devel- opment could be done better under the proposed new form of government. Chairman Mann suggested, “Basically this is going: to moan considerable in- crease in taxes if this plan (for a ward system) goes through. Road costs would go up considerably: ours has been two mills and the township rate around 10“? Ratepayer James Wilkins disagreed with the chairman's opinion voting strength would he in the rural wards with possible seven to five council rep- resentation. “We feel it would be a long time before there would be an urban reeve”, was the chairman‘s View. 364-2625
