KELLER Reeve Harbtd , Robinson, Howick, asked members of the Huron County executive committee Friday , afternoon why it had not recommended to concur with a resolution from ,a the County of Perth to abolish County Boards of EducationL "I think it is regrettable," stated Robinson. Chairman. Jack Alexander, told him his committee had felt that since them county boards of education had been. established at considerable ekpense, "they should have a chance". Reeve James Ha3fter, Stephen, reminded council - that if ratepayers felt the costs of education were too high, they • would. have an opportunity very shortly to elect new board members whom they felt would keep to closer eve ori, expenses. Charles . Thomas, reeve `of Grey, said he had been receiving some complaints which should have gone to the school board. ."I'm just not sure that the county school board is working very well when this"• happens," added Thomas. Q Robinson stated that since the • Perth 'resolution had been introduced, there was an investigation planned into the a,. workings of the Perth County Board of,Fducation,. Walter Sheardown, deputy -reeve of Goderich, asked ° the committee to explain its reasoning for not concurring with a Goderich Town Council ° resolution to .shave welfare assistance administered by the province. • . Alexander answered that, the committee had not wanted to give 'the province "another foothold". `Sheardown noted thatwelfare assistance cases in Goderich had risen from 38 in August to 53 in September. "It is over -taxing our staff at the town hall," Sheardown stated. "That was the reason for the resolutiod." In other.. business, council learned that salaries paid to the secretarial staff have been reviewed and a new schedule will be in effect in°1971. There was no, indication in the report as to the terms of the schedule except to note that sick leave credits will - be adjusted from one day to one and one half clays per month effective January 1,1971. - In the future, -all secretarial staff being 'engaged by the county department will be channelled through "one person and one person only". This policy is set,out only to retain uniformity among this particular section of the county staff, the report concluded.
