The board of education chair- man outlined some areas in which the board and county council are closely related = such as library • . services, health services, road maintenance in 'connection with school bus routes, etc. "We can't divorce our res- ponsibilities from each other" he continued. '!I believe we will have to play it by ear and I know our committees , can work together. Wherever possible let us at least consult each other." "We've got to have faith that the partner at the other end of the saw is working toward the same goal, inthis casethe ben fit of the citizens of Hur County," he concluded. Vice-chairman John Broad- foot outlined B111240 which states that the board of education shall' collect taxes' four times a year unless some other agreement is made by mutual consent upon petition of those municipalities ..representing two-thirds of the • assessment in the County of • Huron. he said the board of education had the right to make the final decision in the matter. • He indicated, however, the.schobl' board was anxious' to .work with the municipalities in Huron. "I didn't read it that way," said Ed. 'Oddleifson, reeve of Hayfield, who suggested that if the municipalities petitioned the school boar ti for another-method of . tax payment, the school board would have no recourse but. to accept. "You've ,prObably been married as long as' I have," quipped Broadfoot, "and you should know what is meant by \ mutual consent, Someone has to \cast the deciding vote." • I don't think' 'this is a laughing matter," retorted Reeve Oddleifson. "Neither do I," answered Mr. Broadfoot. William J. Elston, reeve of Morris, referred to Mr. Ilread- fOot'S earlier remark 'that it- was most' economical for the board of- education to operate on a four- times9.a.,3rea.r tax payment basis. "It )s- just as cheap for the ratebayers to pay the Interest as' It Is to collect taxes four times per year," said Reeve Elston. Mr. Brpadfoot said that although the education taxes would be paid to the board f9ur times a year P This was an every member program in which each member contributed ' a number and the guests were invited to join in. The program included poems by Mrs. G. Bell, Mrs. Archie Hog- garth, Mrs. E. Whitehouse, Mrs. D. Brodie and Mrs. C. Eyre; Readings by Mrs. J. Drummond, Mrs. D. Triebner, Mrs. R.

The Reeve of Grey, Charles Thomas, said that it was likely that many farmers had toborrow money to pay their taxes. ' He said credit rating of the individual was sometimes affected by this and he wondered if it would be more helpful in the long run to use the borrowing power of the - board of education. School board chairman Bob Elliott said' the board could realize a saving on the cost of education if it received its tax payments four, times a year and did not have to borrow as much money from the banks to et current expenses. "If it isn't a saving to the municipalities and to the tax- payers, the board .is ready to take another look at it," prom- ised Mr. Elliott. Reeve Allan Campbell, Mc- Killop, asked Mr. Elliott if he was really interested in saving money. He said the system .of education in his township was costing the taxpayer far less than* in all other townships, but that the board was planning to close McKillop's one-room schools. "Yes, we're out to save money," answered Mr.Elliott. "There is also this matter of equality in education and we believe the MCKillop students are entitled to the same level of education as other students in Huron County. A sizeable dele- gation of McKillop ratepayers asked the board to' update the educational system in•McKillop." -Mr. Elliott told Reeve Camp- bell the board's- hands were tied by the directives from the Ontario Department of Education. He said that the department would not approve 'an addition to the school at Walton to accommodate the McKillop Stildents while it would pay for an addition at , - Seaforth P.S. "It was the best that our committee could come up with," he said, "If you let these grants -go .by, yen may not get them again." Reeve Elston suggested that thp hoard of education and the county council each appoint a committee to meet whenever necessary to discuss matters of mutual concern. Mr. Elliott said he favoured the idea and would take the suggestion to his board. B.-Kinsman, Mrs. L. FialaYsee, Mrs. M. Davidson, Mrs. G. McLean, Migrt. Henderson, Mrs. A.

Over a period of 30 years , the average snowfall inHuron County has been 83 inches per winter. Last year, 105 inches of the fluffy white stuff fell in this area but luckily, pointed out Britnell, -there were few winds to whip them around. • Thus far this 'winter, Mr. Britnell told council, there has been 78 inches. That's more than double the amount of snow which normally falls in the same period according to', the 30 year averages.
