the board an answer that same
evening to permit the board to act
on the reply in full session.
The teachers' response that

Two days later, teachers'
negotiating spokesman, Shirley
Weary, said the board's proposal
didn't do anything to resolve the
issue and would not be taken to
the teachers for a vote.

Hill said Monday night that,
haththe teachers replied to the
Ward in- that fashion March 13,
the board was prepared to make
the move then that it trade March
20. He suggested that the
possibility of ending the school
lockout last week was removed
when teachers failed to comply
with the board's requests.
The last teacher response to the
board's proposal was the sugges-
tion that the' two sides consider
negotiating a contract for 1978-79
as well as the pact in dispute.
Weary said the teachers felt that
the move may permit negotiations
to become more fruitful and if
successful would guaranteeunin-
terrupted delivery 9f education
until at least September 1978.
The board's negotiating team
re -acted positively to that sugges-
tion but placed some stipulations
on its proposal before agreeing to
it.
In a letter to District, 45 Ontario
Secondary School Teachers' Fed-
eration president, Ron Lane, the
board said it would be willing to
negotiate the 1978-79 contract.. if._
the teachers agreed not to take
any strike action or work to rule
until September of 1978. In return
the board offered to pay the
teachers retroactively for time
taught according to the salary
schedule agreed to in the 1977-78
negotiations.
Salaries are not in dispute in
the current contract. Pay rates
were agreed, to early in ►.egotia-

a 71/2 per cent increase including
cost of living. The new rate sets

Crump got Symes to write the

the December Council meeting.
It was at this point in the
discussion. that Councillor Hamil=
ton wrote out his resignation,
handed it to the town clerk, Alf
Herbert and left the, council
chambers.

tenders had never been called for
the hiring of a contractor to do the
snow removal and yet, when the
Sentinel reporter asked the reeve
why he voted against the motion
to hire Symes, the reeve said it
was because the council had not
called tenders.
Crump said he felt the"'ratepay-
ers should know the reasons for
the councillors vote in favour of
hiring Symes.
Ab Murray, who also voted
against the. motion, said he had
done so, because the Ministry of
Transportation and Communica
tions state that the contract for
snow removal should be seasonal
and the council was hiring Symes
by the year.
Councillor Murray went on to
say that "The business done at
the Council table should be
Council business and personal
