Inspector By Shirley Keller Public achool ifisPecloroTanlee Kinkead .addressed Huron Copnty Council last Thursday aftennoen and attempted to ex. plain some, of the mysteries surrounding the probable swing to county school boards, now pie:moped by the goverpment of the province of Ontario. Although Mr. Kinkead wished to impress Upon courted that the coaepltative cemmittee's inter.. pretations of statements by Pre. inter John P. Roberts, en Nov. ember'14, '1967 had not yet been confirmed, he did assure coma. cil that the committee had every reason to assume that the re. port prepared was generally considered to be accurate, "It is assumed - although this must be an assumption - that the boundaries of the pro. posed school areas will cor. respond with the county boun. (taxies," said Mr. Kinkead. "Pupils from this county who attend elementary and secon. dary schools beyond the county boundaries will continue to at. tend these schools. Sirnilarly pupils from outside this county will continue to attend the schools in which they are now enrolled. Tuition fees will be paid," he said. "It is assumed that the county school board will be responsible for all phases of education in. eluding direction and all super- vision," he continued. "It is assumed that members of the board will be elected. It is fur. ther implied that wards will be established from which a mem. ber or members will be elec., ted." "It is assumed that all con. tracts made by the various boards for the school year1968. 69 will become the response. bility of the county board of education at January 1, 1969," Mr. Kinkead concluded. "These will include agreements with the members of the teaching staff, the maintenance staff, transportation arrangements, et cetera." County Council road report Total cost of road construe. tion in the county for 1967 was $429,515.75 with bridges and culverts costing another $159,468.89. Maintenance of roads accounted for $423,880.92 whie keeptitga,,upt bridges and culverts took another $10,064,55 Machinery was purchased at a cost of $23,321.83 and the shop at Zurich was built for $44,616.05. Committee pay and bank in. terest (bank interest being the larger of the two by far, "added County Engineer 'James Brit. nell) totalled $36,288.21. In the road report was a recommendation by the coma mittee that Engineer Britnell be paid an additional $2,000 annually for services rendered. McKillop Reeve Ken Stewart told council he had every re. spect for Jim Britnell but asked "Is $2,000 a reasonable in. crease in one year?" Committeeman James Hayter Stephen explained the commit,. tee had no intentions to paly tee had no intentions to play the old game of easing a good man because you won't pay more and, then paying more to a new- comer who doesn't know the local situation. "Jim Britnell is too valuable a man to lose at this 'stage of our road program," insisted Hayter. There was word in the report as well, of a new needs study to be beg= within the next year or so. "Surely this won't cost as much as the last one," ques- tioned Grant Stirling, reeve of Goderich Township, "The ink is hardly dry on that." Brit. nell said he had no idea of the cost of the project. Noting in the report that ther Noting in the report that there would need to be a slight in. crease in mill rate for county road purposes during1968, Carl Dalton, reeve of Seaforth asked "How much?" Britnell estimat. ed "less than a :tall" but could not say just how much less. AUDITOR'S REPORT A net surplus of $57,368 for 1957 was shown in an auditor's report to Huron County Coun. cil read by Clerk John Berry, This figure is slightly; higher than 1966 surplus of $34,366.

Keene, in charge of the OPP detachment at Goderich, qualifies to wear three trilliums on his sleeve under a new system of awards for recognition of service. These new symbols of service announced by OPP Commission. er E. H. Silk, Q.C., will replace the stereotype service bar, in use by the force since 1941. Appropriately, the trillium is Ontario's floral emblem. Commissioner Silk stated; "It is important for a force steeped in the history and trad- itions of this province to have as a recognition of the service that helps create these tradite ions a meaningful symbol of that service. For this reason, the trillium which was adopted as the province's official floral ,.emblem in 1937 has been seta ected by our force." New service badges will be „force..
