Vlctor. Lauriston School
Although the Huron County
board of education has
advertised -sale of the old yictor
1,,auriston Public School at
Goderich by sealed tender the
14 -member body learned that
the town must first have. a
chance at the purchase. The
school is more than 100 years
old.
Director of education. D. J.
Cochrane said the sale ad placed
in all Huron County weekly
newspapers "flushed out things
we were not aware of."...� ,..
A provision of the deed states
that when the property is no
longer required as a school the
land be offered to the town of
Goderich for the stem of
$17,000, the balance of a
debenture payment. „
The $17,000 was a debenture
debt owing after an addition had
been put on the school when the
high school board used it in
1957. The school had been used
by various other organizations
throughout the years.
Goderich council has 60 days
to decide if it wants the school
or rriot, if the offer is
unacceptable, the county board
has the authority to sell it by
tender.
