Members of the Lions Club and Kinsmen Club who were present said they were of the opinion that their organizations will back the project, but it will have to have general sup- port from the community as well, It was suggested that or- ganizations such as these may want to make commitmentsov- er two or three years, and that it might be possible to make loans against such commit- ments, Mr. Conron told the meet- ing that it is up to the group to decide whether or not the pro- ject should proceed, and if so, it will be up to the finance committee to get on the ball and raise the money. On a motion of Elwood Irwin and Dr. W. A. McKibbon, the group agreed with the proposal of the building committee and to proceed with the scheme. The finance committee was asked to start on immediate plans for a fund raising cam- paign. Mrs. Roger West said W. T. Cruickshank has agreed to take on the chairmanship of the committee provided he has some assistance. He was not at the meeting. Others named to the committee at a previous meeting were Mrs. Alan Hafer- mehl, Ken Wood, Mrs. Robert Ahara, Gordon Beard, Reuben Harrison, Bud Cruickshank-, Mrs. Freddie Templeman and a mem- ber of the high school Students' Council. On the building committee are Bill Conron, Dr. McKibbon, Dave Burgess, Ray Bennett, Mm Hafermehl, Ed Anderson, Scott Reid and Miss Gloria Reed.

Fortunately, neither re- sulted in injury or serious prop- erty damage. The call from the second fire was received at the station before the firemen had left for the first one. About 5:55 Bill Austin notic- ed flames in the log cabin to the rear of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Don Cameron of Victoria Street. Mrs. Cameron turned in the alarm and firemen were quickly on the scene. Unfortun- ately, a valve in the water pump broke, delaying the fire- men for a few moments. In the meantime, Harvey Aitchison, a fireman, used a garden hose to check the blaze but it was not brought under control until the larger hoses of the firemen were operative. No cause for the fire has been established as there was no one in the building at the time and there was no fire in the cabin stove. The log cabin was purchased by Mr. Cameron about 1955 and was used as a clubhouse. Nothing of value was in the building at the time. Only seconds after the first alarm was turned in, firemen were directed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Vath on Di- agonal Road where flames were spreading in a grass fire near a row of evergreen trees. OTHER FIRES Earlier Thursday afternoon the Wingham firemen quelled a grass fire at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clare Niergarth of the ninth concession of Turnberry Township. Mr. Niergarth had been burning garbage and left the farm. Mrs. Niergarth saw the fire and attempted to beat it out but when it approached hydro lines she turned in the alarm. There was no damage. Last Wednesday afternoon, just before the supper hour, a portion of the roof at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Pletch was destroyed. The house, situated on the fourth concession of Morris Township, caught fire when a spark from the chimney landed on the roof. Neighbour Clarence Yuill came to the aid of Mr. Pletch and along with other neighbours formed a bucket brigade to douse the flames before fire- men arrived. The fire department receiv- ed a false alarm on Sunday af- ternoon when motorists passing the farm home of Gordon San- ders on Highway 87, west ofthe Morrisbank Corners, noticed smoke billowing from the home, Firemen found that Mr. Sanders had been burning out a bird's nest from the chimney and was in no need of assistance. —Miss Agnes Brophy of nos., ton was in Wingham from Tues.i day to the end of last week and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Brophy of Ham- ikon and Miss Ada Brophy of 'Toronto spent the week-end here., They visited with their aunt, Miss Mary Ada Brophy, a patient in W Ingham and District flospital,• whose condition was somewhat improved. ••••••""ne Mr. James 2nd line of Morris, held a very .success. ful sale on Saturday, Mr, fob Hetherington of Kitchener spent the week-end at his home here, Pane Wingham AtiYance*TiMes• Thursday, April W, 1907 BIuevale Mr. and.

The Huron-Bruce District High School. Board approved a budget for the year on Wednes- day evening which falls just short of $1, 000, 000, at $943, - 330.71. The budget covers the cost of operation and capital re- turn on both the Wingham and Lucknow schools. The amount to be. raised by local taxes is $225, 174.85 on an assessment of $19,163,817. This compares to an assessment of approximately $13, 000, 000 in the old Wingham High School District. The total cost of operation is broken down as $461, 931.71 for the non-vocational departments and $481,399,00 for the voca- tional departments of the school. General legislative grants will be $159, 225.00 for the Lucknow operation and $523, - 403.00 for the Wingham school. The remaining difference of $35, .00 between grants and the local levy is made up of receipts from tuition fees, night school, a book fund, cafeteria, rents, cadet grant, and miscel- laneous items. The breakdown of expendi- • tk • Ell 11111 Ell 1111 tures showed $38,709.00 for ad- ministration which includes of- ficers salaries, telephone and general expenses; $75,690.00 for plant operation and main- tenance which includes salaries, fuel and electricity and repairs; instruction which includes teachers' salaries and secretar- ies' salaries, $521,965.00; teaching supplies, $49,933.00; night school, $5,056.00; servi- ces, (cafeteria, cadets, auxil- iary) $16,100.00; transporta- tion, $133,480; capital expen- ditures, $4,200.00; miscellan- eous $4, 021; debentures, princi- pal $61, 466.52 and interest, $32,710,19. The $225,174 which has to be raised by the 14 contributing municipalities is apportioned on the basis of the provincial equalized assessment factor as follows: Ashfield 7.70%; Brus- sels 4.52%, Culross 7.51%; East Wawanosh 6.13%; Greenock. .99%; Grey 2.12%; How ick 10.93%; Kinloss 7.43%; Luck- now 6.06%; Morris 9.98%; Tees- water 4.69%; Turnberry 9.11%; West Wawanosh 4.01%; Wing- ham 18,82%, Using the county equalized assessment figure of $19,163, - 817 it will require a mill rate across the district of 11.75 mills. However, this rate will not likely appear on too many tax bills as it is broken down be- tween residential and commer- cial rates at the municipal lev- el. The 11.75 mills is an in- crease of 2.75 mills over the rate used in the Wingham dist- rict last year. A surplus of $43, 000 in the Wingham area will reduce the actual amount to be levied while a small deficit in the Lucknow area at the end of the year will increase the actual sum of money raised by each municipality by a small amount. The budget does not allow for any capital repayment on the new wing which will be added during the next year.
