Georgetown police debate size amid council tensions
Georgetown's 17 member police force is defended by Mayor Joe Gibbons as necessary per Ontario guidelines while councillors demand questions about the budget. Gibbons, who has chaired every regular meeting for 17.5 years, refuses to resign. In Milton, the Kinsmen Club closes after 19 years and about 30000 dollars raised, blaming shrinking membership. The Milton Chamber votes to ease store hours amid looming six day weeks as Burlington Mall and four other plazas rise near Milton by 1970 with a September 10 opening for the mall.
