Mr. Lavis said tenders were. opened at•the board's closed - door session prior to the regular meeting. He refused to dis - close the names of bidders, the amounts of .tenders submitted or the original estimate of Paige and Steele, architects for the planned renovation. The board chairman would say that the architects will be instructed to try to negotiate a reduction in the lowest tender. To release, details now would not be in the board's best inter- ests, Mr. Lavis added. When the board last month decided to establish its head of- fice in Clinton, one contractor whose name was not disclosed was said to have estimated the cost of renovation at $23,200, without air cohditioning which reportedly would cost about $3.000 more. The board subsequently auth- orized relocation of a science lab at a cost of $3,131. That work is finished. The plan is to convert surplus space on a single floor in one wing at CHSS into administra- tive offices and a board meet- ing room.d� The space isavail- able because the school's capa- city is 1, 400 students and enroll- ment is below 1,00,Q. Serving temporarily as a head office are the former quarters of the Ontario Department of Education in the Huron County Court House at Goderich. The Education Department is leav- ing its furnishings through the end of June, the county is cha'rg ing $100 a month rent and the school board has installed anew telephone.

M County board approves 17 member administration staff John Cochrane, Huron Coun- ty's director of education, en- visions a 17 -member adminis- trative staff for the school syst- em and the board of education on Monday night approved an organizational chart based on that number of head office staff- ers. Six of the 17 have beewhired already and applications are, being sought for three more op- enings. The remaining posi- tions will be filled when the need develops, Mr. Cochrane said. Already appointed or on the payroll besides Mr. Cochrane are a business, administrator, school superintendent, two as- sistant superintendents and a secretary. The board has advertised for applicants for the positions of plant superintendent, chief ac- countant and office manager (one) job and manager of pur- chasing and services.. The chart calls for eventual creation of eight more jobs: a secretary -receptionist, two ac- counting clerks, a, payroll super- visor. upervisor. and four clerk -typists. The board also named a nine= member vocational ad- visory committee and replaced two of the five members of the newly -named arbitration com- mittee. Board. Chairman John Lavis will head the vocational panel which will include Gordon W. Muir of Goderich, W. N. Count,. er of Clinton, Lorne Kleinstiber of Dashwood (representing the . . Exeter district) and Richard Well neyer of Wingham. Also on e committee will be four board members: Mrs. Marilyn Kander, Seaforth; John Broad - foot, R. R. 1,, Brucefield; Gor- don Moir of Gorrie .and Garnet Hicks, R. It. 3, Exeter. The vocational advisory com- mittee's duties are to commence September 1, the board decided. Both Barry Wenger of Wing- ham and Ronald Menzies of Goderich resigned from the ar- bitration panel-- Mr. Menzies for personnel reasons and Mr. Wenger because of his appoint- ment as chairman of Wingham's hospital board. James Kincaid of Goderich was selected as one replace- ment on the committee and the name of'the other, a Wingham man, was. withheld until he fs contacted and his availability assured. The arbitrators' basic role will be to apportion the school budget among the towns and townships in the county --taking into account the assets and liar bilities of each unit when it joinedthe county school system. A township which came into the county system with aheavy debenture debt may have topay a higher ,mill rate than a town- • ship with no debt, for ecample, and these questions will be set- tled by the arbitrators. In other business Monday, the board: AUTHORIZED Mr. Cochrane to attend the first annual co'n- ference of the Association of Directors of Education in Oril- lia, •May 26-28. AGREED to advertise for tenders on demolition of the former Neil Bell Shell service station on Highway 8 in Sea - forth and removal of junked .4111. IM IN M 111 IN III MUM Ili 11.

It was decided to issue cheques for all outstanding bills with the exception of one re- ceived from the recreation de- partment, totalling $70.. 68 for baseball equipment., The com- mittee decided not Rto pay, the bill on the gr o u n d s that al- though they did authorize the expenditure to be charged against the Businessmen's As- sociation funds, the agreement was that the merchandise in question be purchased in town. However, the bill was from a Toronto firm and therefore the terms of the agreement were not met as specified. It was reported to the associ- ation that past purchases have been made out of town by the • recreation committee when the price for the equipment - was comparable to that offered by local merchants. A suggestion was made by an association member. that the only way to curb' the practice of the spending of association funds out of town was to 'refuse payment of the bill and return it to the recreation department for further attention. A motion was passed that all future authorized spending of association funds by the rec- reation department must be on purchases made in town and only when the bill is signed by the coach .of the particular team sponsored by the emacia- tion.
