, Why Difference In H.S. Rates?
Mr. Ralph. Munro Of Auburn,
West • Wawanosh representative
on the Goderich District Colleg-
iate Board, said that the `'levy, on
the • •Goderich area was $83,000,'
and he could giveno assurance
it would, be less. .He referred to
the losi,. of eight members, of
their staff, and of the differences
of opinion over salaries, but. felt
they .had as, good 'a staff as ever.
Transportation costs: are about
-$20,000 • per._year.,x butt • would
be double if all pupils .were pick-
ed up at the door, West`' Wawa
nosh. folk were reasonable in this
regard and they had no trouble

this Township, • he said. -
Brown Smyth asked . why it
was that the , Goderi'ch high
school rate was so much higher,
than Lucknow's. 'Speaking dir

that '=probably the salary•• scale
