Council' plans to put about 14,000 cubic yards on the roads and set aside another 2,000 cubic yards. The bid was five cents per cubic yard under the second lowest and was 14 cents lower than the highest of the four submitted. Ben Homan, of the Godenich firm, met with council and re- ported he had gone over his estimates very carefully in an effort to return a favour coun- cil had given him last year when they accepted his tender of 69 cents when there was one at 66 cents. The reason this was done was due -to the fact the low bidder could not spread the gravel at at the time council. Wanted it.

This feeling was expressed at .the regular ineeting,of.,ettre, Tuckersmith council when they met with the ,three. other offic, ials and Mr, Burrows in a hastily called session that was apparently sparked by the fact both school area boards had indicated their intention -of moving ahead on central sch- ools for the respective town- ships, The Stanley board, which ad- ministers six of the 10 sections in -the township, had decided Monday to seek preliminary ap- proval from the department of education for an eight-room cen- tral school, and the Tucker- smith area board, which looks after all but one of the, sections in that -township, had a letter before council asking them to seek .Ontarki. Municipal Board approval for the issuing of de- bentures for an eight-room school in their township. - Reeve Elgin Thompson had asked the inspettor to be pre- sent for the Meeting to give advice in regard to the Tucker- smith School Area request, and he had asked the two Stanley men to be present. Sees Big Saving Burrows 'told the meeting there could be substantial sav- ings realized by erecting one school to' serve -both townships. He noted estimates for each school to serve both townships. He noted estimates for each school would be about $200,000, while one school with double capacity could possibly be- built for about $300,000. This would mean a saving of about $50,000 to each town.- ship if they combined facilities. ,Mr. Burrows also pointed out that with a larger school, the' townships could erect a larger auditorium and receive grants on 'it, as well as -receiving gr- ants for the addition of a li- brary and other auxiliary rooms such as a principal's office and a teacher's room. , With only eight classrooms, neither township would be el- igible for grants for a library and some of the other auxiliary rooms. The township officials were told that the biggest saving would come in regard to land development, as only one site would have to be purchased, serviced and maintained, He also noted' the big savings in the question of the auditor- ium and auxiliary .rooms, and said and architect had inform- ed 'him there would certainly be some reduction -in construction costs if the 16 rooms were all Stanley Township council expressed no major disapproval of Bayfield's move to incorpor- ate at 'their meeting Monday, but left no doubt they will not look kindly on any move by the resort community to extend their present boundaries fur- ther into the township. • That such -a move was being talked about in Bayfield was built on the same site. "He wouldn't pin it down to a figure," Mr. Burrows added, "but there would certainly be limited savings". Improve Education - "A combined unit would pro- vide better facilities all the way around," he stated, pointing out the operation of a 16-room sch- ool as opposed to two eight- room structures would be more efficient, the standard of edu- reported by the former asses- sor, J. M. Stewart, who attend- ed the meeting.

The Exeter official said he realized such a venture may not work out, as it ,could be difficult to get the two town- ships to work together.

Reeve Ernest Talbot was crit- ical of the Bayfield trustees for not asking questions -about the auditor's report if they had the feeling they were not being dealt with fairly. "The time to ask questions is when the auditor's report is read," -he stated, adding that no questions had ever been ask- ed by the trustees, who were always invited to the meeting when the report was adopted.
