A committee of representa- tives of these three bodies has been meeting and agreement in principle on amalgamation of the three health units has been reached. Following a meeting with Minister of Health Dr. Matthew Dymond early this year, in which Dr. Dymond remained adamant that the three areas must unite in a regional health unit, members of the committee have also met with senior mem- bers of the Department of Health discussing the terms un- der which the amalgamation will take place. The agreement will be pre- sented to York County Council {or its approval on Friday of this week. Joint Health Unit Plan Goes Before County Councils Terms of agreement for the proposed amalgamation of their health units will be ,placed before Oshawa Council and York and Ontario County Coun- cils this week. In the. meantime, Ontario County Council has refused to pass the $199369 budget of its health committee. A motion that no increase in personnel be al- lowed and the budget reduced Reeve Williams also warned that the amalgamation with Oshawa and York County would mean that Ontario County would lose its present control over financing. Uxbridge Reeve W. H. Gould the also warned against amalgama-‘age tion with York County althoughlher he said he could see some pur-{rad pose in amalgamation with Osh-jwa: 8W8. .tan‘ accordingly was put forward by Pickering Township Reeve John Williams.

However, the suggestion has been categorically den- ied by Etobicoke's Deputy- Planning Director Ian Keith, former planning dir- ector of Markham Town- ship. Mr, Keith felt too that the province would not per- mit piecemeal annexation of Metro’s northern fringe areas. “If there are dev- elopment problems in the northern fringe, the solu- tion will have to be found there," he said. He felt that the most obvious solution “As a matter of routine procedure and in order to keep our own base map material up to date. we have ordered assessment sheets from surrounding municipalities. including Vaughan Township, North York and Mississauga," said Mr. Keith in a state- ment to “The Liberal". of the R routine request from chief draftsman of the Richmond Hill Lions Club turn over 11 opening of the new building. new hockey time clock and public A member of St. John's An- glican Church, Jefferson, for 49 years, she served as lay member of the synod for sev- eral years. was a past president. of the WA at St. John’s and of the WA of the Diocese of To- ronto and a life member of the Dominion WA.

She was a past president of the Women‘s “as for the area first to be tome a political entity which could eventually be- come a Metro borough. Vaughan TownShip Plan- ning Director John Dewar also felt that any annexa- tion plans by Etobicoke, or North York. would “have a stony road”. He felt that the province would prefer to see a total solution to the fringe areas. “All are having real trouble," he noted. “Pickering, Toronto- Gore, Markham and Vaug- han have all the impact of the Metro overflow. There is a fantastic amount of land speculation going on." Mr. Dewar felt too that there is a strong argument for total amalgamation to create a buffer between Metro and the rural areas. “There is a strong argument too for a corridor munici- pality from Highway 400 to 404," he said. “It fits in with the watersheds and is highly urbanized now.” Mr. Dewar admitted how- ever. that such a solution "leaves weak sisters on either side." that is, the largely rural rumps of Vaughan and Markham. which might not be eco- nomlcally viable if separ- ated.
