• Coined expressed concern
over the Act because it felt it

on all operators, resulting in
the dosing of smaller pits.
Since these extra ex-
penses, such as licences and

onto the purcluiserk. of
gravel, "It's the ratepayers
,ratepayers were armed with
questions for their council
members during a rate-
payers' meeting last Thurs-
day evening in Bluevale.
One of the main topics was
last year's $12,500 gravel
sale from the township pit to
tor Construction of Guelph.
The nine ratepayers ranted
to 'Igo* why the township
only charged 25 cents per
yard for the -5,000 -yards sold,
and if it has decided to
• compete with privately -
awned gravel pits. '
"Inure Mow who got the
beat„ of that deal," said Roy
Werniington. "You fellows
must have realised after that
you gave it away."
Councillor poug Fortune
explained that the township
asked the Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
mtmications for an appraisal
of the gravel before it was
sold. "They said it was the
best price for this area."
Mr. Fortune said the town-
ship didn't think it was
competing with pit owners,
but only looking for ways to
pay for its 140 -acre farm,
purchasedin January, 1979.
"Why do we buy expe sive
real estate to sell gravel to
private constractors?".
asked Jackson Dunkin.
Reeve Brian McBurney
disagreed that the $160,000
farm, which has several
gravel depogits on it, was
expensive. He said that
townships without pits are
going to be in a difficult
position in the future
because the Pits and
Quarries Control Act, te he in
effect in Turnberry as of
Jan. 1, 1980, "will drive the
price of gravel up".
Some of the ratepayers
msisten mat although it may
have looked like a good in-
vestment the township still
paid too much money for the
property. Many wondered
how the farm will ever be
paid for.
Mr. McBurney explained
that 30.5 acres, with a house,
berry Township
was sold off the farm for
$62,500. Funds from that
sale, together with ap-
proximately $15,000 worth of
gravel sales and savings
intended to be used for work
on the Eadie Bridge, which
was postponed, added up to
pay for the farm last April.
The township is also
receiving revenue from
David Martin and Mac
Eadie, who are renting
portions of the farm.
Mr. Wormington question-
ed the amount of gravel the
township feels is ort the prop-
erty: He said he has learned
through experience that al-
though gravel tests may be
done, you never really know
how much is on a property
until you start digging.
Mr. McBurney said tests
showed enough gravel is on
the property to last 200
years.
Wormington also
wantectto know the. outcome
of. the -1978 court case bet-
ween the Turnberry and Joe
Kerr Construction Ltd. of
Wingham.
Mr. McBurney explained
that Mr. Kerr was suing the
township for $2,500 because
council refused to pay the
total amount for gravel it felt
was unsuitable. After one
day in court the two parties
agreed on a payment of
$1,750.
He said that the Toronto
lawyer hiredby the township
has so far cost Turnberry
$730 for expenses. No other
bills have been received for
other costs.
"You'd been better off
settling for the few loads of
gravel," said Mr. Wor-
mington, adding that the
people of the township didn't
want Turnberry to go to
court, but council members
wouldn't listen to their
wishes.
Another touchy topic was
why Deputy Reeve Harold
Elliott was not paid by the
township for attending
hospital board meetings last
year.
School board reps are asked
•about rising education costs.
Huron County Public
School Board trustees, Bert
Morin Mid Murray Mulvey,
were bombarded with
questions regarding
education costs and school
teacher federations during a
Turnberry Township rate-
payers' meeting Thursday
night.
Mr. Mulvey, wit° serves on
the education committee,
explained that enrolment of
elementary school students
in the comity has dropped to
6,7N in 1980 from 7,102 in
1979.
Mr. Weill said although

end? We can Only pay so
much taxes," said Roy
Wormington.
The ratepayers were
concerned about rising
salaries being paid to
teachers, whether or not the
process could be slowed
down, and wondered what
the school board is doing to
make sure teachers are
doing their jobs.
The trustees explained
that teachers are paid ac-
cording to their qualifica-
tions and exp,erience. Mr.
Morin said that since fewer
teach es's are being hired in
Huron County, as the years
unord di we
top end of the pay scale than
at tbe-bottoen.
Ile said the average salary
hi elementary schools is
$23,000.
"How did the federations
\ get so strong?" asked
Councillor Brian Doug
Fortune.
Mr. Wormington, who has
sat on the board, said it
began in 1969 when education
Was centralized in fewer but
larger buildings. He said the
teachers had a chance to net
',together then and form
federations.
"They're probably one of
the strongest unions in the
country," said Mr. Mulvey.
John Cox stated,
"Qualifications and number
of years working may have
nothing to do with their
ability to teach."
Mr. Morin assured the
group that evaluation of
teachers began in the county
last year. "Everyone will be
evaluated and maybe even
the trustees."
"Will you be able to get rid
of the teachers who aren't
any good?" asked one
ratepayer.
"It is difficult to get rid of
a teacher," said Mr. Morin,
adding, "Although some
aren't that good, upgrading
is always going on and there
are some excellent teachers
in the county"
He said he doesn't know
the details of the' evaluation
process, but estimated it will
take three to four years to
complete.
Both representatives said
they have enjoyed working
on the board and plan to run
in the next election.

the board) and he did a lot of
work," said Mr. Wor-
mington.
Councillor Fortune said
the township nominated
Louise Merritt to sit on the
board because she is a
registered nurse and has a
lot of knowlegde about
hospital boards. Because
Mr. Elliott was not nomi-
nated by people residing in
the township he did not
qualify for payment, which
has been township policy fbr
a number of years.
"If the people of the
township are going to be
paying the bills, then they
should have a say about who
represents them," said Mr.
Fortune.
"Besides, we asked Refold
how he voted (on the board's
decision to sue the govern-
ment for bed-Yelosings) and
he refused to tell us," said
Councillor Ben lifalda. "
Mr. Elliott claimed that
the votes were "strictly
