A, largely attended meeting, of

`was held. 'at the school On Mon.
day ,evening, when Mr.: J. M;

posal for 'consideration •by which•
the' -school would be, closed and
.the" Pupils: transported to Luck-
now, as part °of : a . union school
section'
It is one.approacli. to the probi.
lem arising from the "petition ,of
five ratepayers of ' the. section
adjacent to Lucknow, seeking
'to halve their assessment for
school purpdses' transferred .to
the Lucknow Public School Area:
A Board of Arbitration was re-,

adjourned until Monday morn-

permit further ;study Of the mat-
In the Meantime Mr..Game ar
ranged for Monday night's meet-
ing • of ' the ratepayers of :the
School' Section His proposal was
in effect that the. whole • section.
he assessed with Lucknow in- a
2 24ublic schoolr.se� ctiox °.' '
•would mean the closing of the
Second School and the'trans_pert,
ine of the children to Lucknow.,
The feeling of the majority of
those present Was against clos-
ing the school.
'°,During .the past term en�rot
xent-Wad 22 students. Three, are
leaving and there will be seven
beginners, ,, indicating atm
,enrol•
ment of 36 pupils , for :the • fall
tern�r;:
The ,'section' extends 2/ .miles.: :,
batch East. and West, and two;
busses were suggested for trans-
portation purposes at a roug=hly
estimated cost of ;$2,400. Another
classroom and teacher ; would be
required in Lucknow and there
were those. who failed to see how
this. could be done as cheaply `as
i
kee open, their
keeping e,n, . own 'school.
Would Cut : Into, Assessment
The overall assessanent of S.S.
No, 7 •; is roughly $240,000. ` -
Prop
erties cannot be transferred ;on
a here -and -there basis, . Such' a
;transfer must 'include' a block of
properties, and tothe east of
town, from theoutskirts to ' a
point this side of Bob Purves'
farm, this groupof properties ,
represents .an assessment;—of
about. $35,000 which would be
lost to S. No. 7. Propertynorth.
of town runs to about another
$5,000.
-..T,he.. Toss. .of this " assessment
would increase the. school 'costs.
'of those.. remaining in S.S. No:
7, and thereby • hangs the . prob.- s
lem.
Naturaily_, , those:_ •ratepayers
with Children close to town, wish
their children to go to the clos-
est ;school and over the best
',roads,, without' having to pay a
tuition, fee and at the same time
be assessed in • S.S.'. No. f •
