The manager, has been compli- mented several times by HEPC authorities for the fine job he is doing.. , ... Younger Population Trustee Shore mentioned that -public school enrolment, which in 1950 was 600, is now 1,000, the population trend being "de- -finitely to younger families." He added: "Although we have 30 classrooms, all are full, and if public school population in- creases another 400 in the next ten years it is pot hard to visualize that we are going to need another school of ten rooms. The Lauriston school has saved the taxpayers about a quarter -million dollars, because it has provided nine classrooms and a gymnasium." D. E. O. Slemin, a new nom- inee, is a salesman for Good- year Tire and ,Rubber Co., five years a Gdderich resident. The opportunity to run for the school -board, he said, "offered me a challenge to- something I think 'I have the time and ability to handle." "Public school affairs are go- ing to be big business," said Russell Bradford, "and I am vitally interested . in education in this municipality." Trustee McCreath noted that a year on rieas: 'need�d� 1 iliarize a new member with the work; one could "get going" in the third or fourth year. Mayor Fisher reviewed fea- tures of the condensed financial statement of which copies 'had fflces' been distributed. On the town hall-pol3O office transaction he said he offered, no comment, but would submit the particul- ars as the deal turned out. A7' "In 1659," he recalled, "a •vote of -the people decided we 'would exchange our town hall on East street for the old post office: The renovations have been completed this year, and r think you should know the cost. -Council felt that the former theatre property and' post office gave us a valuable corner. The purchase price was $15,375, and renovation of the apartment and beauty. salon cost $22,350. With the cash fliference on the exchange between the federal building and town hall $14,000, the net cost to -Provide a police office and fire hall was $23,725. Alteration Costs "We are proud of our town 'offices -and council chamber. Alterations on the first floor cost $11,847, and on the second floor, for dental office and Can- cer Society room, $4,500. Third - floor alterations and renovating the apartment cost $404. Re- habitating the rear sheds to provide garage and storage for the works department cost $1,000, or a total of $17,751. Against this we had a winter works subsidy of $2,806 andj the tenant's share of second - floor alterations, $3,000, so that net expenditure was $11,945. In the fire hall -police build- ing, ground -floor office- space is rented for $1,200 and to the beauty salon for $600, as well as $840 for the upper apart- ment. In the municipal build- ing, the second -floor office rents for $1,080 and the. third -floor apartment for $600, for an over- all total of $4,320." lire ':al -finance chair- man, was able to report that the departments, almost with- out exception, had stayed with- in their allotments. Of the taxes collected, he said, coun- cil could control the spending To The Electors of Ashfield, Township Ladies acrd, 'Gentlemen:.

In county council, he explain- ed, there is a movement to ob- 1 tain additional space for the different departments, and it was- first suggested that this be obtained in Clinton. ' "I know what you people would think if they removed the Children's Aid, County Lib- rar tl RQi to�Cliri- ton," a reeve said "The -next proposal- was even more ab- surd: it was to build an addi- tion to the court house. They wanted to .see if the town would sell ground for that, and with- out any hesitation I took it upon myself to say -I would not be in favor of it and advised council to turn it down. For- tunately a Waterloo firm of architects advised it was not practicable, and that the cost would, be 40% more for the same space than for a new building, because the stone is difficult to get, and also cer- tain parts of the building would riot stand a higher part put on. That idea has passed, and I believe the majority favors buy- ing the land at the corner of Britannia road and South street and erecting a county building there." 44 Miles Of Streets Deputy -Reeve James Bisset, reviewing the paving and .main- tenance work of the year, said: `'We are in the unfortunate. ^position that we have 44 miles Of street — twice as much as many municinalities of our size. Barring unsettled weather from now on, we should be ,able to stay within our budget. For this winter we have bought a one-way plow and wing. Roy Meriam does- a wonderful job as town foreman." Mrs. Mooney, parks chairman for the past four ,years, said she hoped to be chairman again. As `Maddy -4141' . �...: A. reported: "Whave d'ihp a e.. the decoration here, as far as the finance chairman would al- low me to go, and I would like io thank tie members of the Horticultural Society and other interested citizens who have been very hind in making Sug- gestions. ` "In spite of the -editorial in the local press regarding the reason I am aspiring to deputy - reeve, I am not # reformer and have no desire to reform the County Council. 1 know many of. them personally and field they are a very fine group, and am looking forward., to serving with County Council. My' only reason for aspiring is that I have four years' ex- perience on council and would like to have experience in a broader field." Councillor Jewell. who had been nominated for deputy - reeve, reporte4l that installation ,t the . arena of- a sprinkler sstem. costing $9.329 would enable $200,000 insurance to be carried, at a cost_ of .$864.50, whereas $128,000 protection had cost $2.781.

"I am sorry to see Councillor Robertson go," he said; "a good man and stood up for what he thought right. Jim Bissitt, too, will be missed .in the coming year.
