Amalgamation
Sir,—l cannot think of anything worse than having all our councils amalgamated into one central body. I think most people would agree that when the police had suburban stations and knew most people in their area there was less crime and a far better relationship between the police and the public. Anyone who has worked in a large business will know that the more centralised administration is the more and more out of touch the administrators can get with what is going on in the branches. By centralising administration you
matically put more distance between all concerned and that can only lead to more and more inefficiency and to more expense for ratepayers. — Yours, etc.,
J. STRIBLING March 6, 1986.
