$950 less than the board’s

A vice-principal with two
years experience will earn
$33,175 compared with the
current $31,900.
The board had offered a

All salary increases are
effective September 1 and
are not under anti-inflation
guidelines.
One of the major stum
bling blocks in the 31 day
strike was sick leave credit
gratuity, which was settled
in the teachers’ favour.
Dean Johnston agreed not
to alter the clause which
allows a teacher with 12
years of experience to collect
up to half a year’s salary at
resignation or retirement.
The board wanted to add
an age restriction of 50 years
before a teacher could
collect, reducing the eligible
teachers from 108 to 38.
He argued for retention of
the clause as it has been part
of the contract in Huron
since the board’s inception in
1969, and the board did not
offer anything in its place.
Mr. Elliott said it is dif
ficult to determine the cost of
this clause as no money is
budgeted for it but “if 108
teachers decided to hand in
their resignations, the ship
would sink.
“It is a contingent liability
that has got out of dontrol.”
he said.
Mrs. Weary said she is
pleased with what she calls a
“fair” settlement.
“1 think it is a kind of
settlement both sides can
live with and neither one
should be unduly upset.”
The board chairman,
critical of the report, said the
settlement was a
“preconceived decision by
the arbitrator” with the
arbitrator basing his
rationale on previous con
tracts in other counties.
He said the arbitrator did
not pay attention to the
board’s arguments con
cerning the agricultural
community’s economic
situation and ability to pay.
Mr. Elliott said the report’s
* findings confirm the board’s
reluctance to go to ar
bitration.
It is expected the set
tlement will effect the
remaining contracts being
negotiated, especially the
elementary teachers.

“We’ll be happy to harvest
50 percent of what we did last
year,” he said.
The late turnips will still
be all right'if they get rain,
Kints said.
The pea crop hasn’t been
affected by the dry weather
yet, said Jack Urquhart,
manager for Canadian
Canners. If the dry weather
continues another few days it
could be detrimental, he
said.
The canner’s corn crop
isn’t hurting from the dry
weather either, Urquhart
said. The weather has
slowed the growth of the
crop, he noted.

Members Exeter
council indicated little in
terest in submitting any
objection to a recent decision
by a special appeals hearing
that resulted in the Village of
Bayfield winning a reduction
in its share of the Huron
board of education levy.
They were apprised of the
ruling last Monday by Clerk
Liz Bell, who was one of the
26 Huron municipal
treasurers who comprised
the abritration board
hearing the Bayfield ap
plication.
Bayfield successfully
argued to have their levy
lowered by $8,229. fhat
change will have a rippling
effect on other. Huron
municipalities and the
provincial grants provided
for education.
Mrs. Bell told council that
Exeter will end up with an
underlevy of $43 as a result
of the ruling, adding that the
province will be paying most
of the levy lopped off
Bayfields total.
Bayfield ~ -
Oddleifson
cessfully
assessment
factor for his community
was too high.
The Exeter clerk said
there appeared to have been
a mistake made in their
assessment.
Huron clerk Bill Hanly
said he had expected the
other clerks to turn down
Bayfield’s request, which
would have put the matter
before an Ontario Municipal
Board hearing.
The other 25 Huron
municipalities have 30 days
to appeal the decision, and
Hanly expects some may do
that.
However, when the subject
was broached at Exeter’s
special meeting this week,
there was no indication that
any members felt they
should appeal the matter.
The topic will be put on their
August agenda.
It is believed that the
decision .was a. precedent.
Hanly said that the
Ha’liburton region is the only
other area to have made a
similar successful appeal of
its assessment, but he ex- .
pects those upset with
education taxes will ask for
hearings in the future.
“There’s going to be a lot
more of them,I’m afraid,”he
said after the hearing.

• Ironically, Hanly said, if
the province had gone ahead
with its proposed property
tax system based on market
value, Bayfield would have
had to pay higher taxes.
He said there was a large
difference between what
property in Bayfield was
valued at when the factors
were set and now.
