Jack Lane, Superintendent.
of, 13iisiiiess, ••presented.. a
summary, of the - an,
nouncereent of the minister,of
education in'•a memorandum.,
to school boards on Octeber 1
regarding the 1977 general
legi� slatyve_ grants. Mr. Lane
evealed that the • board's
expenditure per pupil• wieuld
increase' `from $1,197.54 to
$1,2•54.22 or ,13.24 •percent in
1977. Translated, he said, this
means . the total 'ordinary
expenditure ~for grant pur-
poses may increase by..
'1303,800 .or 9.7 percent. He.
explained the difference
between the . per • pupil in-
crease arid the total; yield in

decline in enrolment.
The following resolution to
the Minister of Education was
approved bya.narrow margin
(6 to 5).: -"Whereas the
:determination of the nti nber
of trustees and • the
. distribution, of those deter-
mined for .separate ,s.;bool
board is set out in Section 110
of• thea Education 'Act, 1974;
and for ....purposes of the
distribution, the ,equalized
assessment of resident'lal aid-,
farm properties only is to be,
used, and in the proposal for
the . Reform of Property.
Taxation in Ontario, . farm
land and farm buildings are
to be 'assessed at 100 percent
of market value with the
waxes paid -by -the :Pro'v'ince;
•and if the proposal in it"s
present-' form . •should ,pass'
final. reading • in the
Legislature, ,.a • question
arises; 'Will farm land and
form buildings be deemed to
be: .(a) business and corn-
,mercial assessment, or (b)
residential and farm
• assessment. • "
"Therefore be it resolved
that attention, bedrawn to the•,; '.
Ministry of Education ex
pressing' concern that—unless
farm land and farm buildings
have a category of distinction
other than ."Residential and
Farm", the assessment' so
created by 100 percent -of
market value wi11 weight the
rural versus urban trustees to
be 'elhctecl ;to a . separate
school board following im

ther' resolved , that .. the
ministry ` of education be
requested to monitor the

' A group of Goderich
Township'. ladies met with
their council to enquire into
the 'townsliip's .position , or
attitude to the . move by
Clinton: The ladies said they
preferred to remain
anonymous claiming they
had children involved in
Clinton programs and didn't
want the children to be
centered out.
The ladies proposed several
suggestions to the township
council that would provide a
possible alternative to the
0, surcharge. They suggested
that perhaps if a levy was
necessary, the town. may.
consider setting a charge up
on a use basis rather than a
flat rate of $15. They felt that
if a person from the township"
was making use of several
facilities throughout the year
that $15 may not be_steep but
if. the person was using only
one then it was a bit costly. members embers couldn't

comment on the situation
since they, like the ladies,
were not aware ' of the
reasoning behind the costs.
Their only source of' in-
formation on the issue had
been taken front a story on
the matter carried by the
Clinton News -Record. The
story merely outlined the
proposal and did not delve
into the reasoning.
The township •cotinci.l'•said
'
they did not want to develop
any ,hard feelings with the,
town of Clinton but. agreed
that some sort of explanation'
or discussion amongst the two
groups would have been
appreciated. The township.
does offer some recreational
programs and according to
one spokesman, many of
those participating are from
Clinton and Goderich.
The township council wrote
