Members of the Huron
County Board of Education
voted 9 to &against supporting
resolution from the Lambton
County Board of Education to
register an objection with the
Ontario Government concerning
the unequal methods of tax
The motion said that
methods such as the recent tax
reduction given to the farming
community was unfair when the
urban property owner has not
received any educational tax
relief.
Vice-chairman Robert Elliott
told' board members he was
opposed to concurring with the
resolution froin Lambton which
is a county influenced by a high
urban population.
"Agriculture is in a state of
next thing to depression,"
Elliott continued. "Prices are
lower now than in the early 50's
but costs continue to rise. The,
provincial government in its
wisdom now has seen fit to grant
the farmers some relief."
"I think the farmers have
subsidized the urban population
long enough," concluded Elliott.
"When 60 percent of your
property taxes go to pay school
levies, then farmers are certainly
paying the lion's share."
John Broadfoot was not
satisfied with the wording of the
Lambton resolution. He said the
government had promised to
give the farmers 25 percent off
total property taxes less their
shelter grant, not purely a
reduction in' the education tax,
"This is supposed to be paid
by December 29," stated
Broadfoot. "We're still hopin
but we haven't got it yet."
Dan Murphy advocated that
the government should certainly
be attempting to find some
system whereby everyone is
receiving some tax relief.
Murphy said the working man
who owns his own home is hard
hit too.
"The farmer is getting some

relief but the urban people are
getting none," said Murphy.
"That's what the resolution is
trying to say."
Gordon Moir, a small
businessman in Wingham, told
the board he was wholly in favor
of the Lambton resolution,
"I think it is one method of
drawing to government's
attention the fact that there are
tax inequities," said Moir. He
also claimed that the small
businessman was hampered by
high educational taxes and
added that "we can't write off a
lot of the things farmers can
write off".
The board I voted 7 to 6 in
favor of a policy permitting each
secondary school principal to
allocate a maximum of $50 in
his yearly budget to defray the
cost of advertising, in the
school's year book.
The policy also reserves the
right to approve, or to suggest
Gavel coming

BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER ,
Each chairman of the Huron
County Board of Education will
have a gavel for his or her use,
says policy passed Wednesday
evening at the last regular session
of the Huron County Board of
Education for 1970.
The gavel will be presented
the outgoing chairman at the
conclusion of his term of office
and a plaque will 'be provided
which is engraved with the name
of the chairman and years he
served as chairman of the Board.
An information report
presented to the board at the
meeting dealt with the question
of school libraries,
In connection with the
report, the following
recommendations were made by
J. W. Coulter, superintendent of
Program and Planning: 1. All
schools should have libraries;
2. Shelves should be "weeded"
of surplus copies;
3. Filmstrips should be as readily
available as books, for pupils'
use; ,
4., Mom emphasis on use of
facilities by individuals and small
groups on an informal basis;
5. Instruction and practice in the
use of materials by the pupils in
preparing reports.
"I am generally pleased with
the progress we have made but
several improvements remain as
a challenge to us," concluded
Coulter.
