KING â€" Mayor Margaret Britnell leaves little room for doubt as to where she stands on issues facing King Township. ‘ “I‘ve taken great care to be ob- jective, and I am. Even with developers. But there are times when one knows one is being lied to. It's gotten so that, before a decision can be made on an issue, one has to decide if what one is hearing is the truth. “Some growth is essential,“ she believes, but “it‘s up to an informed and sensitive planning committee to direct that growth.” “There‘ll be scare tactics used, “ she predicted in an interview. “like the McCarthyism affair they had in the States.

I’ve heard vindictive comments at region about ‘the people in King‘. But the people in King Township should never be ashamed of what they've achieved.“ Mrsi Inksetter says “good relations” are vital if there is to be efficiency and cooperation between different levels of government. dustrial assessment was desirable, Britnell answered: “So be it! But I want a mayor and a council that will be sympathetic. The citizens are it." “Take the Roman Catholic cemetery. “ If people didn‘t want it there council shouldn’t have allowed it. It would be different if it were one of our local churches." Municipalities still have a autonomy, she said, “if only we pick up our responsbllities." Britnell said she decided to run again after many people approached her with concern of “what will happen in this township if I don‘t.“ _ _ “I Hon’t agree with the inference that we are here in a minor roll" “The loss of one of our separate school trustees is directly due to a lack of communication among regional government, municipal government and the people. “The separate school area of King is growing. Now is not the time to cut down one of our trustees.” “We’ve had problems in this township. We‘re going through hard times financially. But when people objected they were listened to.

"Her attitude is just to say ‘no’ first and then ask ‘what do you want‘?“ He also wants planning studies in each of the seven hamlets “with an eye to preserving their uniqueness.” He also advocates experimental increases in the percentage of in- dustrial assessment in the township â€" from 71/9 to 15 per cent. This. he believes, would'involve non-polluting industry which would help offset rising municipal costs. Calling for a completely planned township, he suggests there should be an inventory and authoritative designation of good farmland. Long says he doesn't consider himself “pro-development“ but “pro-Official Plan" instead. The plan calls for annual population increases of 2 per cent.

Regional government is not all bad, said Foran. who intends to make King “become a contributing municipality within the Region of York and not act as an isolated member. “We have to work within the regional government system setup. Mrs. Britnell has not. I would employ a different manner of approach. “The region, after 51]. is assuming more and more powers of decision making from the province." Asked what effect his dismissal as principal of St, Patrick‘s School in Schomberg would have on his election chances, Foran replied: “Well, people that I've chatted with really don't feel it will have any influence one way or the other." “Many people felt the issue (of the dismissal) went to a higher level than just Bill Foran; whether a citizens' committee could get certain in- formation from the separate school board."
