and Welfare must-be removed from our budget. We agreed that the total monies
collected by the three governments is sufficient but there must be a better

Basford also spoke on Municipal Land Assembly, Municipal Housing and the

Neighbourhood Improvement Program. I recommend that we look into all of these

I took the time to ask Aldermen, staff and citizens how they liked the
new Metro system. All were very hesitant about answering but admitted that so
far it has been a great disappointment. Party politics has entered the Municipal
field, bureaucracy has grown and the citizens feel that they are no longer in
touch with their elected members.

Next year it will be London, Ontario.
