future;
Reference was made to $60,000
that Huron County has granted to

referred to the proposal that if I
Bruce County made a grant, the * v
four southern municipalities in1
Bruce, served by Wingham, be
recompensed proportionately ' to
what they donated to the build-;

rade of many years and one who
had long served the Township,
the late C. E. McDonagh. .
Mr. Curran said, that the town
ship hard top, laid 21 feet wide,
had been built to stand. Poing
a block a year it would take 100
_yearstoxover the-7 Township?

to fifty years. “That would suit
me better”, piped Chairman

He felt a surplus should be ^rea-*
ated to provide for such contin

•closing some schools and doubl
ing up. but most people want to
-keep--^thei-r--^chooL-ljpen, and as |—
long as the ratepayers want it, •
that(’s the way it will'be, Gordon
said. ’ .
Walter' Alton .felt ..that trans

young children, in discussing the
closing of . schools. Salaries; ; he i
thought, had reached, their peak.! .

260 pupils in Ashfield in 17 class
rooms, with an. average annual
cost of $3331. per classroom., Laur

to close■ it?”, r ... |

which is the maximum amount
on which the province Mil pay
