	Halifax Regional Municipality: Super Place to Live
		The word is being used in the face of this fact: on a world population scale, with approximately 320,000 souls, our new city would be placed firmly in the company of the "super" small-fry.
		This statement is supported by the fact that, within the present boundaries of Halifax, after the passage of more than a quarter of a century since they were incorporated into the city, such places as Spryfield, Rockingham, etc., continue to exist as communities within a community.
		Also, when structuring Halifax's new Charter, care must be taken to insure that it will be very difficult for any future civic politicians, who may harbour visions of grandeur, to build tax wasting empires.

		We, the residents of Halifax County's municipalities, shall, on December 2, elect a 24-member council to preside over the affairs of the new Halifax Regional Municipality.
		As I recall, the reasoning used to force amalgamation upon the municipalities was that it would provide us with a lean, efficient and cost-effective mode of government - giving the taxpayer the ultimate bang for a tax buck.
