' séhilier urged Regionél Council March 31 to ask the province not to delay any further. “I‘m saddened that the province has found it necessary to again review the findings of the commission, especially since its findings are the same as what the province was saying nine to 10 months ago," he said. Schiller said provincial fears of public confusion, and the possibility of a provincial election, were responsible for the delay.

Morman finds region council too distant “The public are reluctant to ask regional candidates questions; they don't know the area of concern," said Moran. “What if the odd meeting could be conducted in the outlying municipalities?‘f “We must seem rather remote to places like Georgina and Vaughan,” he said. In a telephone interview the next day, Vaughan Mayor Garnet Williams said he didn’t vote at all on the motion. “I didn’t understand where he was going to have it; our council chambers wouldn’t hold that many elected of- ficials", he said. Rotary Club travel night “I would like to see it. but there wasn’t enough discussion. He didn‘t say if we were permitted to hold it in the Woodbridge Arena, for example.” Moran’s motion was lost.
