"The province was supposed to cut out bureaucracy and move authority back to the area. You'" never have that in a two-city and county set-up.

He had expected a twocity concept would be recommended. However, he does not agree with such a concept. "Amalgamation of Preston, Hespelor and Galt and a regional government is too much to han. die." Preston remarked his disap- pointment at Fyfe recommending two things and then saying one of them was no good. Heston felt Fyfe's second pro- posal of regional government for the county is basically the right idea. He felt the growth pattern should be more towards the east and west of the county, but felt boundary problems could be iron.. ed out by the regional govern- ment. The only difference between Bis two proposals ia that Kitch- ener and Waterloo are amalga- mated in one and not the other. "It will create a lot of problems and expense. We're already co- operating.

Commenting on Fyfe's recom- mended two-eity, one-county set up; Meston said "He's trying to please everybody just for now. If you start considering amalga- mating municipalities that are " ficient and leaving others alone, you are ignoring the facts. "No one has shown me one shred of evidence that amalgama- tion is good for Kitchener, Wat- erloo or the people. "We don't need a regional con- can now but we’ll need it so badly in four or five years that I will hurt." v "Education is in a state of flux, assessment in a state of chaos and other amalgamations on top "The province should and must hand over 95 percent of power in an area to a strong regional gov- ernment. that knows first hand the needs. fears and hopes of that area.
