Reeve William BalI asked how the costs are apportioned among the eight municipalities thatform the high school board. The costs are divided up according to assess- ment. McKillop, Tuckersmith and Seafortli have the largest asses- sments. The heating plant in the older portion of the buildings is com- pletely- done, and the heating equipment in the part built a few pears ago, will be enlarged to heat all the buildings.
