Education will increase its number
of trustees to 16 froni 14 for 1977.
One of the additional board
members will be named by
separate school supporters, bring-s
ing their total representation to
two. .
The reason for the increase is
that" the• county's population,/ ex-
ceeds 50,000 for the ,first time since
1911.
Bruce had a population high of
65,218 in the, 1881 ceriSus but
shortly after' a decline set in as
many people left to settle in the

the current population growth is
the influx of workers to Ontario
flydro's construction site at. Doug-
las Point.
