R. B. Dunlop, superintendent of
business affairs for . the Huron
County Board of Education, was
„authorized at the Board meeting
ip Clinton Monday to negotiate
individually with the custodians
and to produce for ratification at
the earliest date, recommended
contract values, and that this be
completed by the middle of
August.
reecmniehdation from the
management committee the
Board and the McKillop Town-
ship° Council will sign a 10 -year
lease from September 1, 1973, to
June 30, 1983, for the Board to use
the area behind the McKillop
Township garage and office as a
turn -around for school buses and
loading of pupils for various
schools. The Board decided net to
' t' driveway the existing driv y as
the cost was too high -$3,000 -for
three-inch topping.
The Board turned down an
offer from Clarke Zimm of the
real estate firm of , Wilfred
Mclntee Ce.., Limited, for a
parcel of la,d 82 feet by 264 feet
adjacent to. the Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton as
the.price of $6,000 was considered
excessive. The;Ppresent house on
the lot is 'being moved,
The Board granted permission
to John Armstrong of Londesboro
to build awooden fence, sitniliar
to the one running alongthe back
of his prof►erty on his land which
borders on , the south side of
Hullett Central`, School at no cost
to the Board and tribe maintained
by Mr.'Armstrong.

ember 31 of the,
e 'school year. Some of
comments. from
schools on the suggestion that the
age be lowered are: More 4.year
old pupils riding buses could
cause problems; over 90 per cent
of our teachers want the policy
left as it is. Lowering the admit-
tance age would merely be
robbing from next year's total
and not solving the problem of
low enrolnrients.•
Financial Statement
The Board accepted the report
of A.. M. Harper, chartered ac-
countant, for the official audited
financial statement. It will now
be submitted to the Ministry. of
Education, and the superin-
tendent of business affairs will be
instructed topublish in ail weekly
newspapers of Huron County the
summarized version of the
auditor's report.
The Board will advise parents

Public School, that, if the Bruce
County Board of Education
refuses to pay tuition fees, such
pupils may: complete their
elementary education in Huron
County schools, if the parents so
wish, at no cost to the parents,
but that any children who have
not. yet reached school enrolment
age will have to enroll`.in� a school
designated by the Bruce County
Beard of Education.'
The Board will refer;the;letter

on June 21, :as follows: "r
tj+cer 1 have' a question' ofthe
emier, In View of,the .express-
concerti 'of the Algonquin
Wildlife League; Membersof the
eral ic, and Members of
s :Douse with- respect to On-
io Hydro's. take over of Inver-
'oil Provincial Park, would the
premier ask O tarie }Iydro as a
first step in the in ` depth, re=
examination °�,: of this , titular
proposal to hold' a hearing, of
necessity ,ort the ',park."
Mir, • Davis replied; in part as
follows:a.
• "Mr. Speaker I think to say to
hold a hearing of necessity would
imply, and I don't want to mis-
lead your Constituents or anyone
else, to • have a hearing of
necessity would imply I think -a
• legal status to such a hearing that
the people involved might feel
there is some legal remedy
,'flowing from it, and I think this
wouldbe improper. • If the
Honourable Member is saying to
me, would 1 suggest to Hydro that
,they have meetings with, or eon-
sultationsor discussions with. the
area, . the...people in.. the area that'`
will ;be affected to explain what
they have in' mind and to have
'sortie very sincere dialogue with
them, Mr. ':Speaker, r think I
could be prepared to do. that. I
haven't given it any, thought,' but I
`think: it sounds reasorta'ble•and I'
think I.- would be prepared` to
suggest this to Hydro "
•
I suggested,to the Premier that
Ontario Hydro should provide a
rationale as to why,they need' this
particular park.
. 1
1 thought, I would include this
particular` exchange because of
the interest' and concern ex-
pressed: in this. regard.
The Select Committee on
Utilization of - Education
Facilities, of which I am a mem-
ber, submitted its interim► report
to Legislature this week and pro-
posed wide ranging reforms to
break down the barriers it has
found. between •schools and this
communities they are suppo
to serve: .
The Committee recommended
that the responsibility for the use
of . schools be taken away from
School Boards and handed :over to
Local Community Action
Councils.-
The Committee's central con-
clusion is' that access to Ontario's
schools should be the right of
every citizen, not just a privilege
,conferred at the will of a School
Board.
The Planning. and Development
Act :was to n to Committee this
week and the Tr surer took a
battering oyer his repose's.
J.A. Kennedy, f rmer Chair-
man of the Ontario Municipal
Board, said the proposed legisla-
tion is an unwarranted invasion
of local autonomy on planning
matters and that the plan ap-
proval system envisaged is a
dangerous departure from ac-
cepted practice in that it gives
the Minister arbitrary power..
The bill would allow the
Minister to designate any area of
the province as a development
area.
