Halton Liberal Candidate Outlines Views In Interview

Halton County Liberal candidate Owen Mullin faced a dozen county press representatives this week. He said Halton stands on the threshold of an economic boom and that a young man with industrial experience and rural background is needed to make the area the greatest industrial belt between Halifax and Vancouver. Mullin urged a gas tax financed for farm implements, questioned the aircraft disposal after Malton, praised the portable pension plan, and called for limits on outlets while proposing a studied approach to the whole issue. He favored amalgamatism as Trafalgar proposed, but insisted a thorough study is needed before a definite decision.
