This revised budget will be pre­ sented to trustees at a special meet­ ing to be held April 21 at 7:30 p.m. At this meeting, trustees will also discuss the possibility of asking board employees to voluntarily refuse a day or two day’s pay, as suggested by Wingham trustee Lil- iane Nolan. If this idea took hold and all employees participated, the Board could save $200,000 per day. Trustees will also decide whether or not to ask the provincial govern­ ment for an extension to their bud­ get deadline.

In respect of Good Friday there will not be a sale next Friday, April 17. But since the HCBE only received their equalization factor from the government last week, they weren't able to work on the budget. Trustees feel since it is the gov­ ernment's fault they're being pressed for time, they should grant an extension.
