Tuckersmith Township council approved the installation of water meters at Vanastra during a six-hour session Tuesday which ended at 2 a.m. Wednesday. Council will work with the Ministry of the Environment to have the installation done. A $200 building permit will be charged on every new house constructed in the township but the $2 charge for other building permits will continue. The proposal to raise the fee to $200 from $2 was made by Councillor Bert Branderhorst who said the $2 permit was too small when some other neigh- bouring municipalities were charging a percentage of the estimated cost on all buildings erected. Mr. Branderhorst suggested that the money from the permits be used for recreation costs in the township and giving some to neighbouring arenas used by township residents. Reeve Elgin Thompson disagreed and said the money should go to the recreation centre in its own township at Vanastra and not to other arenas as other municipalities did not contribute to costs at Vanastra although their residents use the Vanastra swimming pool, Councillor Cleave Coombs of Egmondville said he knew of families, because they cannot afford it, who have not been to the Seaforth arena all winter as a result of the $15 penalty to each Tuckersmith resident par- ticipating in organized recreation such as hockey. This $15 fee was levied when Tuckersmith refused to con- tribute any grants toward the Seaforth arena for Harpurhay or Egmondville young people registered for hockey. Reeve Thompson said, "I can't see it, Kids today get all the money they want. I don't believe there is anybody who can't af- ford it. There is money for drinking." After much discussion it was agreed that the money would not be designated at the present time for any one purpose but used at the discretion of council for any necessity even roads. Council accepted the tender for flake calcium chloride from Pollard Bros. of Harrow for No action was taken Tuesday night by the Huron Perth County Roman Catholic Separate Board on a motion to hire a firm of management consultants to assess the administrative needs of the board. It was tabled until the June 14 meeting. The motion made by David Teahen and seconded by Howard Shantz, both Stratford trustees, would have hired the firm to investigate the duties of the administrative staff, and to establish the requirements. As Mr. Teahen and Mr. Shantz both stated the firm of consultants approached by them had in- dicated it would be necessary to interview five trustees to evaluate the job description as well as the five members of the administration involved in order to be fair. Mr. Shantz said, "Trustees should have input as to what is needed. With Joe (Superintendent of Special Education, Joseph Tokar) quitting we have a golden op- portunity to assess the position." When it became evident that the motion would not be sup- ported in its narrow outline, the two trustees agreed to reshape their motion that the firm be hired to asses the administrative needs of the board. Joseph Looby of Dublin said: "With something to cost $5,000 to $6,000 we should have more time to find out what kind of report the firm would provide." Mr, Teahen replied that a spokesman from the firm had mentioned a cost of $4,500 with the promise that some further discussion could be held on the cost. On Mr. Looby's motion to table the motion a recorded vote was requested by Mr. Teahen resulting in the motion to table being supported by Michael Connolly, Joseph Looby, Ronald Marcy, Francis Hicknell, Vincent Young, Mickey Vere and Ted Geoffrey and opposed by David Teahen, Howard Shantz, William Kinahan, Gregory Fleming and John O'Drowsky. A presentation on Special Education was made by Superintendent Joseph Tokar and consultants Mrs. Gladys Talbot and Miss Mary Flannery. The presentation which took an hour and a half covered the whole program provided by the board which has five full time itinerant teachers, four part-time teachers and one special class in Stratford covering it, backed up psychological services in Stratford, Goderich and London, The types of difficulty outlined were remedial, slow learners and those with specific learning township roads at a cost of $82.50 per ton. Council held court of revision on the Layton Drain but as there were no appeals, the drain report was formally accepted, Tenders will not be called until next year, as requested by those involved. Eldon O'Brien and Arthur Coombs, both of RR 5, Clinton, attended the meeting along with Engineer Henry Uderstadt of Orangeville for discussion on the O'Brien Drain report. The report was adopted and court of revision set for June Because of increased traffic and excessive speeding on North Street in Egmondville area residents sent a letter of com- plaint to council and requested speed limit signs. Council will look into the situation and the police notified of the problem. Council will supply water to the property line for Bill Ross Brucefield, Requests for building permits were approved for Michael McGrath, Egmondville, storage shed; James Mcllwain, Egmondville, new house; Herve Poirier, Vanastra, carport and porch; and John McLellan, Brucefield, welding shop. Bill Embling of Vanastra was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Vanastra Recreation Board. A petition from three ratepayers for a drain was received, John Branderhorst, Alois VanEsbroeck and W.B. Rowcliffe. Engineer Henry Uderstadt was named to bring in a report A Dead End Street sign will be placed on Regina Street, Vanastra, recently closed at the entrance to Highway 4 because of a traffic hazard. William G. Newman, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, offered no relief to council in answer to a request for more money to loan to ratepayers on tile drain loans. The amount available this year has been cut severely to all municipalities and reported because of the number of requests for additional funds, it is expected that very little, if any, will be available later in the year. Members of council accepted the invitation to the official opening of the Port Blake Con- servation area on June 9.

Agricultural representative telling the members to pick up Packed into a 40-square-mile area just north of Montreal, in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec is the greatest concentration of resort hotels in Canada. Between Montreal and the Saint-Jovite area, there are close to 200 hotels and motels with more than 4,500 rooms.

Mr. and Mrs. David Teahen, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Geoffrey, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Connolly and Gregory Fleming will attend the Canadian Catholic Trustees Association meeting in St. Catharines on June 2, 3 and 4. William Innes, Stratford, at- ten Oance counsellor for the board, was authorized to attend a Counsellors conference in Thunder Bay. Trustee Teahen questioned the value of the conference to Mr. Innes com- pared to the cost of going but in a vote on the motion for him to attend eight trustees supported it and four voted against. The board gave approval to ball diamonds being installed at St. Joseph's School and St. Ambrose School, both in Strat- ford. There will be no cost to the board for the diamonds which will be installed by Yu nd t Bros,for $593 each for the Stratford Lions Club and the Recreation Association, Howard Shantz questioned the location of the diamonds on the school property so that all the green area would not be used up. Mr. O'Drowksy said it was up to the school principal and Ed Rowland, maintenance administrator for the board to assist in the location. Francis Hicknell to end the discussion said he hoped they will be put in front of the backstops. Chairman Arthur Haid read a letter to the board which was sent to the Principals' Association assuring them that all members of the board endorsed professional development days for the teachers with the ex- ception of two members. This was in answer to a letter from Leo Turner, corresponding secretary, who asked for an explanation of the remarks made by Howard Shantz in an earlier meeting that he did not support professional development days and refused to reply directly to Mr. Turner, A further meeting will be held on May 31 to complete the un- finished business of the meeting when the chairman was not given permission in a vote to extend the meeting for the second extension from 11:30 p.m. on. As one trustee said the last time a second extension was given the meeting went on for over an hour. An extension from 11 p.m. to 11: 30 had already'been granted.
