Explanatory Notes At present the boundaries do not take into consideration mun icipal boundaries, school, hospital or market centres. This Act would allow the rpeople in the area ,to decide what exchange or area they wanted to be in.

Regulations would be required setting up standards such as co-terminus boundaries, maximum distances and effective service to people. At present none of these are taken into consideration and i.t would appear that lines are drawn on maps by engineers without regard to these very basic tenets.
