The importance proper committee supervision emphasized by these men. Later Lion Beattie outlined financial picture. He said that fol­ lowing the committee’s talks with the town council, the latter body had voted the sum of $1275.00 to aid in the purchase of the expensive instru­ ments, provided the Lions Club saw fit to take up active sponsorship of the band. All speakers made it clear that any money advanced by either council or Lions Club was not intended to aid • in the purchase of smaller instru­ ments for which parents might con­tract. The fund is only for the pur- I chase of the bass horn, i—1 _L1„_ ‘ such large and expensive instru-; jments as would be out of the ques- ion for individual parents, and these j larger instruments would remain the property of the club.

It is a long route, he said, and the students who get on at the be­ ginning of it necessarily have a long ride. If the route were to be reversed the children at the other end would have to take the complete circuit. Mr. Fortune,, also explained that if the direction of the route were alter­ nated it would mean an extra 1600 miles per year for the bus operator, which he felt was asking a good deal of the operator, since the high school pays on a flat rate rather than by mileage. The delegation withdrew, leaving the problem with the board. A. D. Smith,, operator of the bus in question then appeared before the board to explain his side of the ques­ tion. He pointed out that at the begin­ ning of the year the board had in­ creased his bus mileage over the year by 1000 miles without any re­ compense. At that time the question of these particular -students had been broached, he said, and he had told the board that while hq would like to give the best possible service, he did not feel he could undertake an extra 1,500 miles in addition-fo the 1,000 by which his route had been already increased, Offers Solution Mr, Smith offered a solution to the problem when he suggested that he could reverse his route for one half! of the time, an adjustment Which would mean only 800 additional miles to his route over the course of a yeaV < Board members approved of the idea and said that 'he could start the new system after Christmas, so that the year would be mately in half. To Spend Chairman R, S. the properties ’committee, presented the board with a report on the small­ er properties needed in the new school, He said that about $22,000 had already been spent on furniture and heavy equipment for the school, and estimated the cost of “odds and ends” needed for the classrooms at $21,000. A total of $52,000 had been budgetted for <iew school equipment, Mr. Heth­ erington explained, which meant that the committee was still below the original estimates. The equipment covered by Mr. Hetherington’s report included a power lawn mower and snow-blower for the maintenance department, a movie projector and sound system for the gymnasium, an electrical score-board for basketball, parellel bars and other gymnasium equip­ ment, and furnishings for the various classrooms. The board * approved “the commit­ tee’s recommendations."
